On 1/29/01, chris stearns commented on "Add command to Contextual Menu?":
I want to add a command to my Finder contextual menu that will move selected
items to one of the folders in my favourites folder.
If that's a bit unclear, here's an example: I have a bunch of graphic files
scattered across my desktop. I want to clean them up and move them to
selected folders (Desktop Pictures, my Web page picturebank, etc.). I can
select several files and drag them, using spring-loaded folders, to the
folders I wish. But it would be faster to simply select a number of items on
the desktop, then have a contextual menu item "Move to Favourites > " that
would allow me to move the items to any of the folders defined in my
Favourites folder in the System Folder.
Is there anything around that will let me do this? I'm not sure how to add
items to the Contextual Menus, but aren't they AppleScript-based?
I've searched applescriptcental, the AppleScript Guidebook, and AppleScript
Help, and can't find anything on point.
For almost all of your Mac software needs, I highly recommend that
you start at Version Tracker.

I would suggest using "contextual menu" and/or "CMM" (contextual menu
module) as your search criteria.
I personally recommend CMTools (Freeware). Once configured, it offers
menus for launching apps, opening folders, moving, copying, making
aliases and much more. It also offers a "Open Using" menu, which can
be used to run AppleScript droplets on selected files. The page noted
below shows 1997 as the last release date/update, but it is still
working quite nicely under OS 9.1. :-)
