I guess you can't, since Finder is not a native (sorry boys, could not
resist ;))) Cocoa application. But I don't know Carbon that well, so perhaps
someone would tell you that it's possible -- and how. Or there might be some
special plugin architecture in Finder just for that, whose documentation I've
missed...
I had thought as much.
Alas, in Cocoa it would be child's play using Services... which is the real
reason I am writing this reply: it suggests to wait till 10.1, since it is
said to support Services anywhere (at least I hope). Without Services it
would not be that easy even in Cocoa, so the waiting might be worth to.
Thanks for the info. Sounds like a lot is waiting on 10.1.
