i think you can't do anything without code injection here... maybe you
should try Application Enhancer from Unsanity, or try to go with an
inputmanager, which don't work under 10.5 though... another way is the
Mach* bundle which you could also try.
anyway, what you have to do is get a bundle loaded in finder and in
this bundle you can add something to this menu, or change some
implementations.... if Finder has a plugin architecture this should be
pretty easy, but i guess it doesn't.
I think there's a project to add svn support to finder, they use Mach*
so maybe that's a start
Kind Regards

This should be an easy question.
I need to add a new item under the "Go" menu in the OS X Finder. My
client has stipulated this, otherwise I would not do so. I have
tried to talk them out of it, but so far no luck.
I have edited the objects.xib file contained in /System/Library/
CoreService/Finder.App/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Menus.nib/.
I added my new entries in there, picked an ID that did not appear to
be used (716), assigned a key, but what do I do with the "command"
entry? If I leave it as is, it launches the command I copied
instead of doing something I want. I assume there is some listener
that is catching all events generated by the menu. Can I hook into
that in some way?
Is it possible to register a command to launch a specific
application on the machine? Or launch a specific path?
I cannot seem to figure that part out.
My experience in Cocoa is limited.
Any suggestions on this?
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Ben
