One of my FinderPop Items Test Folders
Someone just sent me an email asking about moving the FP Processes menu towards the top of the FP menu.
This was a bit of my answer, reproduced here in case people don't bother with the manual.
You can do a fair bit of customisation of the FP menus (even running .fpsh scripts which could dynamically add and remove items from the 'FinderPop Items' folder.)

Here's one of my test FP Items folders for example - it results in an FP menu with apps / desk / procs submenus at the top and a bunch of other stuff at the bottom.

Code:
00)apps-!!a                          [this is an empty folder but the -!!a means an Apps submenu
01)desk-!!d                          [Desktop submenu]
02)procs-!!p                         [Processes submenu]
05)----                              [this is a blank line in the menu
07)prefpn-!!n                        [Preference Panes submenu]

Like I say, that's a test folder but it illustrates some of what can be done with FP.

One of these days I might even write a UI for it :-)
