FileSpot 2.0b1

FileSpotThe first beta of FileSpot 2.0, a Spotlight enhancer, was released today. Frankly, I’m a little curious about version 1.0; I’ve never heard of FileSpot before, although it looks like a nice and slick Spotlight replacement.

FileSpot has built-in support for tagging via Spotlight comments, which is nice to see. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like you can customize the tagging format, but this is still a program well worth checking out if you want something an interface a little more robust than Spotlight’s. It automatically gave me an “Open in Path Finder” contextual menu option instead of the standard Finder, too. Bonus points to Synthesis Studios for that.
