Blast - lightning-fast access to recently used objects

Blast is the application that contains "bar menu" recently opened documents and files. In contrast to the standard functions of the operating system, Blast is situated in a convenient location for daily use, has some additional features and looks much nicer simple menu.

The program actually saves a lot of time, you can not only get quick access to recently opened documents, but also add frequently used files and folders directly from the application menu, or rather in his left side and run them from there already, minuyu Finder.

Of course, the program call is available with a keyboard shortcut, default is Ctrl + 6. Moving on Blast menu using the cursor keys, a folder marked element can be quickly opened in the Finder by pressing the space bar or right mouse button. Very useful is the presence of drag & drop to drag and drop files to the application icons directly from the menu program, so you can invest in an email message recently edited text document.

Well-formed filtering objects by categories. The top menu bar contains several icons that you can use to sort the entire list. View recently opened or edited video, audio and photos.

In the same way, you can access recently used applications. For me, it remained a mystery why the program does not find the string, do the developers were afraid to set foot on the territory of the launcher. In my opinion, this is a significant drawback.

Along with the display of the list of recently used files and folders, Blast is able to eliminate the display of some of them based on predefined rules. The program has already been set to ignore the installation of system files, but can also be used for their own hide inappropriate content.

Another feature is to preserve the history of the used objects, even after restarting the computer, spending update can return to work without losing not seconds.

Unfortunately, Blast menu size does not change depending on the number of files and folders in history. This causes some problems to find the right document, because it is much easier to navigate from the entire list, than to flip through it every time up or down. Besides the very application icon in the menu bar it seemed to me not at all related to the fact that the program does. I like creative ideas, but in this case it is superfluous.

So, «Apple Menu" offers quite a handy list of recently used objects, but not located in the best position, at the same Time Blast is conveniently located in the best place for frequent use, also provides some additional capabilities. So, if you time it really is money, $ 9.99 will not be a particular problem, everything else is worth consider how often they use the item "recently used items" and smart folders, and then make own choice.
