Even with the arrival of Lion and its LaunchPad app and other goodies, Yellow Lemon Software’s FolderGlance (http://www.scsc.no/products/folderglance/), a utility for browsing files and folders, is still a sweet addition to your Mac’s software arsenal.
The app lets you preview files directly from the contextual menus, as well as move, copy and make aliases of selected files at locations you browse to.

If you need to extend and connect your Mac to a second (or even third) display, Kanex’s (http://www.kanexlive.com) mLinq offers an easy, not-too-costly (US$99) way to do it.
