Custom Finder Icon with menu

Hi everyone,
I've just found a way to show/hide the hidden files with two little scripts and I wanted to add an icon in my finder's toolbar called "Hidden Files" with a submenu with two elements: "Show" and "Hide", each of these items launching one of my scripts. Could anyone give me an idea of how to do this ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
In your custom HTML from your custom StoreFront you have to link the AdobeLibraryAPI.js first and use this code to use external links :
<div id='myButton'>
     <span  class='myStyle' onClick='adobeDPS.dialogService.openExternal(\"MY_HTML_GLOBAL_LINK\")'>myTextIfNeeded</sp an>
</div>"

  • Removing Items Finder Open With Menu

    I'm looking for a way to delete items from the Open With menu in Finder/File/Open With. On my PowerBook there are over fifty items in this menu when selecting a JPEG file.
    Maybe there is away.

    I'm not sure this addresses your exact situation or not, but the following link:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486#comments
    suggests a method for removing items from the "open with" menu that shouldn't be there.
    I have NOT tried the above, so use the usual cautions (backup beforehand, etc.).
    Good luck,

  • Unable to boot - flashing finder icon with question mark.

    Hi all,
    I just got a friends old xserv G5 to learn Mac and the server suite on. He gave me the OSX Server install disk (10.5 I believe) with the license keys.
    I get the XServe into "Target Disk Mode" by turning it on holding T and plugging my friends Intel Pro MacBook into it VIA FireWire. We install the Server 10.5 to the Server Disk fine, no issues. All options checked. Then upon reboot we shutdown everything and try to boot the server up on it's own and then this is where we get the flashing finder icon problem...
    Here's what we've tried:
    I think the Firmware is locked because when I try to power on holding power + system identifier button, both rows flash instead of the one, here's what I've done
    Tried removing a memory module, booting with command, alt, p + r, no effect.
    Clear NVRM by pressing button behind PSU on mainboard of xserve. No effect.
    Unplugging and removing battery for minute, to clear. No effect.
    I guess what I'm trying to do is clear the firmware lock so I can direct the xserve to select the startup disk by pressing F1 / D as I'm assuming that's what the issue is?
    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure about the dl-DVD thing. I'm trying to remember how I installed 10.5 on my G5 boxes (it's been a while) and I know I used the Administrator computer as described in the Getting Started guide, but I don't remember if I imaged the DVD to a firewire drive.
    The easiest short-cut for that is to image the DVD onto a firewire drive and attach that to the Xserve and run it as the install media. It's much faster to install this way as well. Use Disk Utility to image the DVD onto an external firewire and then boot holding down the option key - choose the drive and then use the notebook as an "Administrator computer" as described in the guide. The only hold-ups are the IP space issues and make sure you know the Xserve serial number. In theory I think you can also use another computer with the DVD in the drive running in firewire mode but now you're up to three computers instead of 2 plus a firewire drive.
    I've never been a fan of the notebook>>Xserve install process even before architecture issues arose. The Xserve has special hardware monitoring capabilities that you would lose when installing booted from a non-Xserve box. I know 10.5 was supposed to install a "global" image that would run on both platforms but I wouldn't trust it even if they said you could.

  • TA24770 Clear Finder "Open With" menu with VMware Fusion 5

    Hi.
    I had same problem of duplicate Apps showing on Finder "Open With" contextual menu.
    After following instructions on this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  all Mac applications where OK, but could not see VMware Fusion Virtual Machine applications in Finder contextual menu.
    So follow these steps:
    Shut down virtual machine.
    Open virtual machine settings.
    Go to Default Applications.
    Click "Restore Applications".
    Start virtual machine.
    This should reset contextual menu in Finder with the VMware Fusion 5 applications.

    Great, post tip, thanks!

  • Weird Finder 'Open With' menu problem

    I have a new Lion MBP -- I did not use the migration asssistant from my old MBP instead I installed apps manually - now the weird thing is that the Finder 'Open with' context based menu includes apps that were installed on my old MBP that are not (and have never been) installed on the new computer!!
    How did that happen... anyone have any ideas and how I can get rid of these 'ghost' entries.
    Thanks

    Simon,
    Resetting Launch Services, by Dr. Smoke should be helpful.

  • Finder Open With Menu

    I'm trying to clean up a Parallels installation, I got tired of it locking up my system when shutting down the VM, any way it added a host of Windows Applications to the Open With Menu in Finder.
    I've tried following a few older suggestions such as deleteing the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist from ~/LIbrary/Preferences folder, however this trick doesn't appear to have any affect on finder 10.5
    So Im at a loss on how to clean this up...
    Any help is greatly appreciated...
    Thank yoiu

    rebuild your launch services database.
    run the following terminal command

  • Using wildcards in custom find methods with CMP beans

    Hi,
    I'd like to create a custom find method called findByName which accepts a string. I'd typically want to use the string in a '%<name>%' scenario, where the user needn't type in the whole name. Does anybody know what the partial query should look like? I'm not sure how to concatenate the '%' symbol to the string taken in.
    Thanks in advance
    Gillian

    Gillian-
    Bind variables are of the form $1, $2, etc., so try using a query stmt like this:
    select * from YOURTABLE where name like '%$1%'

  • Edit Finder Open With Menu

    I just went to open an image from the Finder and noticed the Open With Context Menu was loaded with duplicate entries of the various applications that can open an image. Is there a way to edit this so only the current version of each application shows instead of every version installed via updates?
    An example is Opera. There are 3 versions listed in the Open With Context Menu when I right click on a .swf file.

    rebuild your launch services database.
    run the following terminal command
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

  • Custom Finder Icons

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to create custom icons for various finder items, such as folders or documents?
    A friend of mine transferred a folder to me a few weeks ago that was different from the standard.
    I'd also like to assign different icons to various Pages docs if possible.
    Thanks for your help.
    Rich

    Hi Rich,
    Just "Get Info" on the file or folder (command-i) and paste your icon into the small square at the upper left. You can get sets of new icons at many sites, like Iconfactory. Also, you have icons for everything on your Mac in the system. Take a look at /System/Library/CoreServices to start.
    EDIT: Also, /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle (right-click on this to "Show package contents" then follow rest of path)/Contents/Resources.

  • I cannot click open any of my finder icons with one or two clicks.

    When I go to the finder and click any icon like: documents or download i cannot open it. The only way I can open it is by using the two finger method. Outside of the finder the click works just fine. I recently bought a magic mouse after that the situation I just explained began. If any of you can help I will be thankful.

    "I recently bought a magic mouse *after that the situation I just explained began."*
    Hmmmm.....wasn't hint enough for you? Suggest that you call AppleCare since you recently purchased the mouse.
    Your other recourse is the post in the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse forums where the MM users hang out at.

  • Customizing Finder Toolbar or Menu bar

    This has been up before but didn't help me out. When I go to VIEW in the Finder window, it is dimmed out. How can I customize the Finder toolbar? Thanks. RR

    Sorry ... the preceding is a little vague. In the Finder window, under the VIEW menu, the Customize Toolbar option is dimmed. The Apple Help says to click on this to customize toolbar. I can't ... it's dimmed. Any suggestions? RR

  • Ichat- Customizing the icon with personal photo?

    Hi,
    I figured out how to change the Buddy Icon to my own uploaded photo but the image is so tiny- is there any way to increase the size of it or customize the look of how it appears so it is not as small as a pinky thumbprint?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    It can also be editted in iChat.
    Click on you current Buddy pic.
    This will open a drop down of the last 16 pics (actually 15 plus one for a Blue globe if an @mac acccount or Running man for AIM names).
    You have an option to Edit Picture
    Click on that.
    You can choose a new pic and this is then editable as to size and the orientation (centering) can be changed by dragging the pic about.
    The section described by the box is then saved when you use the Set button as a sepearte.tif copy in the Recent Buddy Pictures folder (Users/(your mac user account)/Libarary/Images/Recent Buddy Pictures)
    If the pic is already saved to 64 X 64 pixels there is little you can change except to naviagte to the folder listed above.
    Nothing can be done to make it display bigger at your end or in your Buddies Buddy list or in a Text chat if you have chosen that option.

  • Finder Icon will not change! Please help!

    I have been customizing the look of of my dockbar on my imac by giving all of my apps new ios 7 style icons.
    Yesterday I changed my Finder icon with no problem at all by going to:
    System→Library→Core Services→(right click 'Dock'→Show Package Contents)→Contents→Resources.
    And replacing the two png files (finder.png) and ([email protected]) with my new images. Yesterday I did this all perfectly fine and it changed to my new icon.
    However today I found a better finder icon and decided to change it again to this new version. However what ever I try it will not change to this new icon.
    I have followed the exact same steps as before, I have replaced my two png files from yesterday with my new ones and I have checked and re-checked that I am naming the files correctly, and that they are the right format etc.
    I have even deleted my original icons that I changed it to yesterday and emptied them from the trash but it is still there even after restarting and shutting down and rebooting.
    I have also tried going to terminal and typing 'killall Dock', it still returns with the same icon that I changed it to yesterday, even though I have deleted them from my hard drive.
    Please help me this is so frustrating and have wasted many many hours on this.

  • Finder Open With Lists Some Applications Twice

    My finder>open with menu lists some applications twice.
    A minor annoyance I'd like to fix.
    Example: If I choose a JPG file and go to "open with" the following programs are listed twice: Firefox, QuickTime, RealPlayer & Safari. Some other programs are listed once.
    There are NOT two versions of these programs on my computer, but there is the System folder from my old Mac.
    Is there a way to fix this little problem?
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   17 inch

    The mac finder will pick up applications anywhere on your hard drive when you do the "open with".
    If you aren't using your old System Folder you could create a .zip archive of it and remove the original Folder.
    I'd be open to hearing other approaches, but this will work.

  • I was trying to open finder with the pinwheel spinning when I accidently hit the off button. When restarting a small image of the finder icon blinked on

    I was trying to open finder while the pinwheel was spinning & I accidentally hit the off button.  When I tried to restart I get a gray screen & after about a minute in the middle of the screen appears a half inch by half inch image of the finder icon that blinks on & off with a question mark. Thats all it does, no other functions work just the icon blinking on & off with the question mark.  Please help, I really hope I didn't destroy my mac.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive

    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
