not sure about you folks, but I was thinking it would be nice to have more options available when right clicking.

The two things I can think of immediately..

Create new file
Arrange by name/size/etc..


So.. is there an easy way to put a shell script or an applescript into a contextual menu plugin? does anyone have any advice?

I'm not adverse to programming, i've done some cocoa, java, and about 8 years of c/c++.. so a starting point for that would be fine too.
