The 'Finder Locations' thing seems to not work, for me at least.

I added my home dir, plus about 4 external disks (but not the root of the boot volume). No matter what I try (including relaunching finder) the menu items appear for my home dir, but no other locations, and this persists even if I remove my home dir from the 'Finder Locations' list.

The Finder Locations picker is currently really only used to grant a Sandbox bookmark to those paths. Any child path/file you right-click will then have permission to actually be opened by Service Station.

I was under the impression that external volumes would not work with the Finder Extension API that Service Station uses, but looking again there may be a way. I'll add that in one of the next updates. Thanks for trying it out!
