A free app that opens a new terminal window with the current working directory based on the context in front.
If you're looking for a free app that takes care of opening a new terminal window with the working directory based on the frontmost context, Open in Terminal should be right up your alley. The frontmost context is defined as follows: if Finder is the frontmost application, then the working directory will be Finder's selected location. On the other hand, if a document window has been opened with a certain application and it is the frontmost window, then the folder containing the file will be the working directory for the opened terminal window.
It's worth noting that since Open in Terminal's behavior is dependent on the frontmost application, it must be executed in the background. This means that you can choose to execute it in a variety of ways, such as with Script menu, Quicksilver, or by registering it to DragThing and executing it with a hot key. Regardless of how you choose to execute it, Open in Terminal is a great option for anyone looking to simplify their workflow by quickly accessing the terminal window and appropriate directory.
