OK, I've confirmed that the ShrinkIt archive is fine.

I have gotten one report that right-clicks on Finder icons are not
presenting the Finder-related options added by Trasher and the
SideClick-included Finder actions extension when the Finder window is
in list mode. However, I use list mode almost exclusively and have
never had this problem, so I'm not sure what's up there. I'm following
up on it.

Since getting the updated SideClick v2.0 archive, it's been working fine for me in regards to Trasher features.

One thing however, is that if I make multiple selections in a Finder window, use control click to activate SideClick, it then deselects all the other icons and selects only the icon over which I control clicked, meaning you can't use SideClick to send mutiple items to the trash.

This is nitpicking as well, but could SideClick's contextual menus stay open with a single mouse click instead of holding the mouse button down? When I recently collated every freeware and shareware IIGS system extension I could find, in a blog here:

I appreciate the effort that went into Jay Krell's Auto Menus v3 CDev, but that particular system extension opens menus without a mouse click. What I'd love to see in GS/OS is a that a single mouse click keeps open pull down menus or SideClick contextual menus.

Anyways, SideClick and Trasher bring some awesome features to System 6.0.1 that help bring it up to parity in usability with Mac OS X. Thanks Sheppy!
