Rainer Brockerhoff:
Also, using a service means that an application must be started; a
contextual menu runs as a plugin. Much faster.
If I recall correctly, NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP supported service bundles. The
bundles had the extension .service and if placed in one of the standard
.../Library/Services directories they would be loaded dynamically by all
applications. Ie, no need to launch an application.
I'm not sure I remember correctly though, and I can't say if it works
this way in Mac OS X.
Cheerio,
Malte
