Hello,
I am researching options for integrating with Finder. In particular, I would like my application to provide file and directory icon overlays similar to how Dropbox.app overlays green and blue images on top of file and folder images.
I noticed a few applications (svn utilities) that have used `/Library/Contextual Menu Plugins` plugins to accomplish this. I've also seen programs use SIMBL [1] plugins. Contextual Menu Plugins appears to have been replaced by Automator Services, and SIMBL seems like an unsupported hack.
Is there an 'official' way to integrate with the finder? If so, what is it? If not, how does dropbox accomplish their finder integration?
Either way, I would certainly appreciate any information / source code you could provide.
Thanks,
Damon
