This is great John! I'd used a version of Apple Commander from 2008,
but it seemed a little unstable and would crash on OS X more than
ADFS.

Just testing the current version on my work machine with MacOS X
10.6.3, it's as solid as a rock. Love the option to specify file type
on import! Would love it even more if you could select all the files
in the Import Wizard and specify that they all have a specific file
type, instead of having to do it one by one.
