A comment on Opening the current Finder directory in iTerm2.

The terminal app built into OS X (newer versions, at least) lets you drag a folder to its icon to open a new terminal at that path.

It looks like iTerm2 almost does it — if you drag a directory to its icon it tries to execute it (which fails).

EDIT: actually, it looks like iTerm master supports this too: https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/194678de81100cb17dad...

…but it doesn’t work for directories with spaces and other special characters. Looks like a bug.

EDIT 2: Pull request sent: https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/pull/78

Very cool. Thanks for sending in the pull request, I'd love to be able to do that instead of using this Finder service (which is a little hack-y).
