What is Today’s the Day?

Drop this in your System Folder (or Extensions folder under System 7) so that the Finder under Systems 6/7 (and probably, I think, back much farther than that) will show files modified today or yesterday as “Today” or “Yesterday” just like Mac OS 8. Works in both Finder list views and the Get Info window.

It’s quick and easy and at least a tiny bit nice. (Technical note - it only patches DrawString and DrawText in the Finder’s application heap, so won’t slow down anything else at all.)

Inspired by this episode of Mac Folklore Radio, wherein Derek reads David Pogue praising Mac OS 8 in part due to this simple feature. Now it’s available in Systems 6/7!

This can be localized for non-English by just changing STR resources #128 and 129 in the INIT file with ResEdit.
