You know, I bet you could get PSMTabBarControl from
positivespinmedia.com to do the job. It's a custom tab
bar view that controls a normal tabless tab view, and
handles creating and removing tab view items and
reordering them. You would have to tweak it for your
needs, but the great thing is that there is a tab bar
style protocol so you can make the tab bar look
exactly like you want - it shouldn't be too difficult
to get it to look like the paths tab bar in
PathFinder. It only took me a couple of hours to code
a "unified style" for it, based on the styles that
already came with it.
Unfortunately, though, PSMTabBarControl is only
compatible with 10.3 and up, whereas I see you want
10.2 compatibility. It might be worth a look to see
how it's done, though.
All the best,
Keith

Hi y'all,
In PathFinder 4 there is a bar near the top of the
file browsing
window, just below that tab bar. It is a pretty bar
that looks a
little like a tab bar except it is continuous and the
"tabs" are right
next to each other.

I would like to reproduce this. When the user
continues to open
another folder, a button/tab will be added on to the
end of the
existing items in the bar. When the user clicks on one
of those
buttons I will be notified and act accordingly. Also
the buttons from
the point of the clicked button on, would be taken
off.
I know that PathFinder is "open source" but they don't
release all of
it. How could they make it OS and Shareware?
I've never subclassed NSCell or anything like that
before but I would
feel prepared to do so if someone could point me in
the right
direction.
Many thanks, Alan
P.S. I want this code to run on 10.2 at least.
