#2Nice little app. Would be handy to be able to edit the generated .dev URL to be different from the folder.

#3Your "Install Pow" doesn't work with a drive name which has spaces.
eg. /bin/sh /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Downloads/Anvil.app/Contents/Resources/InstallPow.sh; exit
needs to escape the space. App itself looks polished, checking it out now!

Thats not really how Pow[1] works. It's weird that there isn't any mention of Pow on that page if that's what it's using in the backend. I didn't download it since I'm not on 10.7, maybe it mentions it later.
I wrote something similar (https://github.com/rktjmp/ker-pow) a while ago but never considered using it to actually make new ~/.pow/ links, I might add that in. Anvil is probably much more useful!

You can - right-click on the row to edit the name, as well as open in Finder or Terminal.

I think you will find that is _exactly_ how Pow works. Because you're just creating a symlink (ln -s source_name link_name) you can name it whatever you want. (i.e. ln -s ~/sites/my_full_url.com.au ~/.pow/blog)

Our hands were tied. Installing 3rd party code, using the ~/.pow/ directory, and running on port 80 are all things that are frowned-upon. So it's easier to make it free!

Rats. Thanks for the report - I'll push a new version shortly. I sure hope nobody minds all the updates. (Edit: fixed!)
