I have presented alternate method to then that i think would work
well. However they are currently sticking to their requirement that
it must be an additional menu under the Finder's "Go" menu.
I even thought about making a fake menu there, and having the real
menu be a service application under the services menu. So by
selecting the Finder menu, it would really trigger the service menu.
Is this possible?
I was just hoping to edit a nib file, point it to a different action,
etc.
I don't like the idea of doing this, I am just trying to satisfy
their requirement. They have heard my issues, but still have not
budged on the requirement so far. :(
Thanks,
Ben

What exactly are you trying to do? Could you do this with a Finder
Context menu? If you tell us what you are trying to do, maybe we
can help you find a way around this that you can present to you
client.

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
