A Better Finder Attributes offers several ways of selecting the files you want to process:

  • drag the files and folders into the file list of the main window
  • drag them onto the application icon in the Dock or in the Finder
  • click the + button under the file list, or choose Open… in the File menu
  • right-click the files in the Finder and choose A Better Finder Attributes 7… from the context menu; the service has to be switched on once, see installation
  • press the keyboard shortcut you have assigned to that service in System Settings, also described on the installation page
  • drop them onto a droplet that already holds the action you want

Folders can be dropped like files. Whether their contents are processed depends on the Process: checkboxes at the bottom of the window.
