Another “Open Terminal Here” Toolbar App
June 5th, 2009
In Learning the Terminal on the Mac – Part 4, I mentioned a mini-application called OpenTerminalHere that opens a new Terminal in the same directory as the current Finder window. Well recently Dan Benjamin linked to another, nearly identical application called cdto.
Both toolbar applications work as advertised, but cdto takes the extra step of clearing the scrollback buffer after changing directories, yielding a slightly cleaner workspace. cdto is also hosted on Google Code, so it’s easy to grab the source on hack on it.
Enjoy.

Good find dude! I’m going to switch over, to get rid of the backlog buffer problem.
