This week's Pick of the Week is actually a slew of interesting contextual menu (CM) plug-ins from Hide Itoh, who has been involved with Macs, icons, and useful stuff for quite a while. On his site (on the Product Page linked above), you'll find a number of potentially useful (and completely free) contextual menu plug-ins.

Read the rest of the hint for the ones that I found most useful...

Here are the PIXTURE STUDIO plug-ins that I presently have installed:

The only CM I don't use from PIXTURE STUDIO is QuickPlayCM, which allows you to play QuickTime files without launching QuickTime Player. In addition to this great collection of CMs, there are two free apps, too (three, if you're still on 10.2). OtherTime displays the timezone in another portion of the world in your dock, and SnapClip takes screenshots and converts them on the fly to various formats.

I haven't had a bit of trouble with any of the CM plug-ins, and they all work very nicely and do exactly what they claim to do. The fact that they're all free, with nary a PayPal link to be found, is amazing. While you're on the PIXTURE STUDIO site, check out some of Hide's other work -- he's done some pretty nice design work in addition to the programming projects.
