Is it possible to add an item to the context menu when you control-click...

an application? More specifically, when someone ctrl-clicks my application, I want an item to appear in the pop-up menu and if selected, to run an apple script. I was looking at folder automation and all and it seems like the area where I would look to do something like that. I have been looking for a while and can't seem to find it.
I found something about making an action specific to just your app such as: MyApp.app/Contents/Library/Automator/MyAction.action. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree. Can this be done? If so, how? So far I do not see how to add something to that menu.

Ok, I found out that thing I am looking for is a CMM (Contextual menu modules), but so far I can only find references to ones made, not how to make one.

Add an item to the Apple menu

I would like to know how to add an item to the Apple menu using OSX Lion, any help would be more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Ron

1. You don't need to use Apple Menu Options for this; to add the item, double-click your hard disk's icon in the Finder and then open the System Folder. You can change the contents of the Apple Menu Items folder as if it was any other folder.
2. Open the Preferences folder in the System Folder and drag the item named Apple Menu Options Prefs inside to the desktop. Try opening the control panel again.

Is it possible to have Flash open the menu when you right click a link?

I'm using sIFR 3 on a few of my websites. Personally I think it's a really cool and nice solution. I have had no issues with it so far except what I've recently discovered.
When you right click on a link (or control click on a mac) it should have the normal menu you'd get if you clicked on a regular HTML link. Also when you hover over the link it doesn't display the status in the status bar (i.e. the URL the link will take you to if you click it).
Anyways, I'm trying to come up with a workaround to this (personally I think the developers should have already thought of one but I guess not). That being said I'm wondering if Flash can do something like that. Is there a code I can put in the Actionscript to tell it to open up the browser menu when someone right clicks or control clicks a link?
For some reason I'm thinking this isn't possible without JavaScript but I have had some people telling me in the current version of Flash it isn't possible at all. I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinion.
To see what I'm talking about check out this website I'm building here... http://dev.thinktecmediagroup.com/fibre-federal/
Notice that the top navigation (and side navigation) is all done using sIFR. IF you try and right click (or control click on Mac) on one of the links you'll see nothing happens.

Probleme solved without having to change anything in the flash.
The solution was to add a small part in the CSS in HTML
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
Solve probleme. All browser. VERY usefull to know !

Is it possible to add UNC paths to the favorites menu with a batch script?

Hi all,
at present the office I work in uses mapped drives, this works well for people in our office but one people talk with the other offices things go south as they have no idea what a t drives is. So I would like to move my users away from the mapped drive and
add the folder locations to the favorites menu.
Short of making the shortcuts and asking each person to copy them in to the folder location there must be a way to write a script to do this? I have looked at using mklink but that failed.
This is the code I used
mklink /d %userprofile%\Favorites\tech \\brisfp01\Tech
Any other ideas?
Thanks

it is called an "Internet Shortcut"
$Shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$shortcut = $Shell.CreateShortcut($FullPath)
$shortcut.TargetPath = $Url
$shortcut.Save()
Look in Gallery for more examples.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it possible to add a service to the sharing menu?

I just started using Minus, to upload some of my photos specifically (10 GB for free!) Can it be added to to the"share"menu somehow, or is there an easier way to accomplish this? I've tried dragging the pix or folder into the upload interface, but it tells me the file is unavailable. Locating it in Finder is a bit of a chore if the pix were directly imported to iPhoto.

The developers of this service would need to create some kind of plug-in.
Other than that:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Is it possible to add Library permanently to the GO menu?

I need to back up my website project that is listed under GO/Library/Application support. I like to back up frequently so I'd like to access it easily.

Sure it is but why not simply drag it to the Finder Sidebar, it's a lot easier to locate then. If for some reason you want it permanently it's always there, just hold down the Option Key when clicking the Go menu.

Add Network Share to the Favourites Menu

Hi all,
My Macs are bound to AD and OD. I'd like to know how to get the network share (userarea) of the current user logged in into the Favourites Sidebar. I want to do this so when the user goes to save their work, they can select their user area from the dropdown menu.
Their userarea is displayed in the Dock so they can drag and drop files into it but would be great if it was in the Favourites Sidebar as well.
I would imagine you could do it by editing the "sidebar.plist" and serve it through OD but I wouldn't know what to put in the plist to get it to point to the logged in users network share.
Thank you,
Morgan

This tutorial
http://www.howtogeek.com/107965/how-to-add-any-application-shortcut-to-windows-explorers-context-menu/
covers how to add items to the context menu when right clicking
- specific file types
- only when pressing shift
- any file type
- the desktop
- folders
The default value of the command keys you create should be "StikyNot.exe"
(Since it is in the system32 folder, you do not have to enter the full path)
Omit the %1 part of the command because you only want Windows to launch the app, not try to pass anything to it.

Is it possible to add a button to the right-click context menu for a user in Outlook 2010 using VBA?

I've tried many things and read up quite a bit but I cannot figure this out.
I cannot create an add-in so I have to use VBA.
I want to add a a button to the right-click context menu when I right-click on a user. Is this possible?

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to customize the context menu in Outlook. See
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 for more information.
But VBA doesn't allow to customize the Fluent UI in Outlook, you need to develop an add-in instead.

Is it possible to add a column to the SCSM User Picker?

The issue: New employees, taking incident request calls, do not know who our VIPs are, and VIPs are supposed to be given additional service during the call itself, not simply after it.
I have extended the User and Group class and added an "isVIP" Boolean field.  I have a workflow that applies a template to incidents from people for whom this field is TRUE, but that happens after the fact, when the incident is saved... I'm
trying to find a way to flag the employee taking the call RIGHT THEN AND THERE that they have a VIP on the line.
I haven't had any luck finding a way to auto-fill a field during the creation of the Incident Request based on the name selected as the Affected User.   I hit on the idea that maybe I could add a column to the results provided
when you type a partial name and hit the "..." button in the User Picker. Right now we get First Name, Last Name, Title, User Name, Domain and Company. Is there any way to add another column and have the isVIP field provided?
Or, if not an extended field, how about any field that is already part of that class?
Thanks for whatever advice you can give.

Hi Ryan,
You cannot do it with the default control (UserPicker) but there's a way to present the VIP flag immediately . Please refer to
this.
Cheers,
Marat

Removing items from the Apple Menu

Using Leopard in a School the pupils are always messing up the dock. I have locked system preferences but they are still able to mess with dock settings by going to dock off of the apple menu. Is it possible to remove this item from the Apple menu or to make it inactive
Thanks

I don't think so. Have you tried checking in 'Parental Controls' section? If there's nothing there you might need a third party software solution. You could always try to contact the Mac Genius bar too, they might know of a 'trick' to remove it.

Context menu oddity: 2 "QuickTime Player" items on OSX context menu?

Hi,
This pertains to QuickTime Pro 7.0.4. I never noticed this before I upgraded to QuickTime Pro 7--when I right-click on a file that can be opened in QuickTime, I see two QuickTime Player items on the context menu. Either one opens the movie.
More specifically--when QuickTime is specified as the default application for a file, QuickTime Player appears at the top of the context menu as well as in the list of other applications that can open the file. When QuickTime is not the default application, two QuickTime Player items appear in the list of other application that can open the file when right-clicked.
I looked through the Contextual Menu Items folders, but couldn't find any duplicate files. This affects both my G5 desktop system and my PB G4; both are runnning the latest version of Tiger (10.4.6) as well as the latest version of DivX. On my G5, I have Final Cut Studio installed; but not on the PB.
Anyone else experience this oddity? Any idea how to get rid of the duplicate item on the context menu?
TIA
M

The contextual menu "Open With..." command uses data from the Launch Services app (part of the system software).
Having duplicates in the menu is a very old issue and there are dozens of reasons why multiple apps show up. It could be reading a "backed up" duplicate app or multiple copies (I have 4 versions of the QuickTime Player app installed) of the software.
Cleaning out the Launch Service list can be done with some third party software (I don't know the names) or with some Terminal commands (don't know them, either).
Maybe a Google search or a search at http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx can help you out.

How to activate programatically inserted standard menu items in zScale context menu?

Hi,
I want to have a different context menu for an intensity graph and its Z scale. This work fine if the standard menu is keept but problems appears as soon as the context menu is customized.
If the context menu of an intensity graph is customized, this menu is taken also for its Z scale. I work around this feature, and programmatically modifiy the context menu when user click on Z scale. So far so good. BUT I introduce for this programmatically customized context menu some standard items such as APP_SC_ADD_MARKER, and when user select those standard items, nothing appends. I mean, that the item is readed, but in that example no marker is added on the Z scale from the run time engine. Where is my error?
Please find the test VI enclosed.
Thank you for tips!

Hi aleveque,
once you modify the run-time menu, you have to handle the events in your program:
From the LabVIEW Help:
"After you customize a run-time shortcut menu statically or programmatically, you must configure an Event structure to handle each menu item in the custom menu."
