Rapidly Personalize Your Folders

Above is a look inside my Pictures folder. Some of the folders that it contains have been customized using the FinderIcon contextual menu plugin. To use the plugin you copy a small image to the clipboard (preferably 256 by 256 pixels) and right (or context)-click on a folder that you've created. From the Finder Icon sub-menu, choose Paste and bang, your folder will now always have the look of the image.

Images that you want to re-use can be stored in the plugin's own scrapbook, called "Stock."

Within the plugin you can also design composite icons that build on existing folders, even including drop folders. Adding your own stamp to folders makes it easier to quickly spot them in a list, utilizing your left brain instead of right (or is it visa versa)?
