Opening the Finder's current directory in the Terminal
For some of us born into the era of GUIs, some tasks are more comfortable in the Finder, but others simply have to be done in the Terminal. Problem: pointing the Terminal directly to the folder you were just working in in the Finder. Solution: ">cd to..", which you can download at http://code.google.com/p/cdto/
It's a little applet that you can drag to your applications folder, and then into the toolbar of the Finder. Click it, and it opens up a Terminal window already cd'd to the open directory. As an added bonus, if works nicely in Quicksilver. Launch the applet from Quicksilver, and it opens a Terminal window navigated to the topmost Finder folder.
