Is there a contextual menu plug-in to send files with Mail?

Anyone have any ideas if there exists a contextual menu plug-in that works between the Finder and Apple Mail which would allow you to email a file with a simple right-click.
Unfortunately to make a comparison with a PC, in the same way that you can select +Send To+ > +Mail Receipient+ via the contextual menu.

You can also make one yourself with Automator.
With Automator (/Applications/Automator):
Select "Files & Folders" and set 'Get content from' to "Use files and folders selected in the Finder when workflow runs"
From the far-left panel, under Library, select "Mail".
Drag "New Mail Message" and drop it under "Get Selected Finder Items" shown on the far right panel
Select "Save as Plug-in" from the File menu. Give it a meaningful name.. "Send with Mail" should be OK. The plug-in type you want is "Finder"
The action is now available from the contextual menu: More -> Automator -> Send with Mail
Have a nice day

Contextual Menu Plug-in for Finder in Snow Leopard

I have Contextual Menu Plug-in for Finder which works with my application, but it doesn't work in Snow Leopard. I read that plugins are not supported in 64bit environment. There is still Menus.h file with CFPlugin interface in 10.6 SDK, but my plugin not loaded by Finder even it is compiled for x86_64.
I read about revamped Services that they should be used, but I didn't find a clue how to create dynamic menu with tree of items.
I need to communicate with another application which runs on background and creates menu items in dependency of selected items, their path and other conditions.
Application is written in Java and CMPlugin (which doesn't work in 10.6) is in C++.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
Guys, any suggestion?

Contextual menu plug-ins: PhotoTool

There's an incredibly useful free contextual menu plug-in for Tiger called "PhotoTool" that allows a user to perform many indispensable photo editing operations on a jpeg image ... But this CM hasn't been updated in a while and is PPC-only. Two questions:
1. Do any CM plug-ins work under Leopard?
2. Does anyone know of a replacement for PhotoTool?

odysseus
1. Yes
2. No - not with that feature set.

Are there any gotcha's opening an ID CS5 file with ID CS5.5 file?

Hi all I am working with a client who is going to submit a print file to a printer who has CS5 installed, not CS 5.5. Is there any gothcha's here like there was when trying to open a CS5 file with CS4? Thanks in advance!

Arg. I thought as much. Printer had a hard time with IDML last time. I always send a PDF, but sometimes slight resizing is an issue, and assumed having the .indd file would help there. I guess they can work with the PDF, but language is a barrier here
Resizing in what sense? That they want to change the file? That's your job. Or do you mean the PDF or their output from it has changed sized for some reason? That should not be happening. An exported PDF is exactly the same size as the document from which it is exported, and it the print is a differnt size, your printer is doing something they shouldn't.

Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in for raw files from the Nikon D810? I have lightroom 4

I am considering buying a Nikon D810 but I do not want to be waiting for ages for a plug in for it's RAW files on my Lightroom 4. Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in? I presume the 8.5 plug in will not cover the cameras Raw file.

There is no plug-in for Lightroom 4 that would ever give you support for the new camera. Lightroom does not use Camera Raw. Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. If you want support for your camera in Lightroom you will need to upgrade to Lightroom 5, and then wait for the 5.6 update which should be available within next few weeks (unless Lightroom 6 is introduced). In the meantime you can use the DNG converter (version 8.6 RC) to create DNG copies of your raw images that you would be able to open in Lightroom 4.

Where does Lightroom put HDR in the grid view? Is there anyway to have Lightroom stack the HDR file with the source files?

I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.

Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested?

Is there any way to open an iMovie HD file with iMovie 4?

Subject said it all. My daughter did her iMovie homework on our home computer. When she took the iMovie HD file to school it wouldn't open with their older version of iMovie.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi Lanny
install iM04 on your home computer :-/ (you can run both apps on one machine, but I recommend to install a second account for your daughter)
because iM05 has a totally different system to handle the clips ("non-distructive editing") plus a different file-system (.pkg instead of files+folders) there's no way from 5>>4
(except, you export the project as a .dv and import that into the other app but you loose the whole projects info as clips, transitions etc,)
no, 5+5, 4+4, or 4+5 you can import iM4 projects into iM5 once, single shot only
besides: great, your kids do such projects!! over here in Germany, we still use chalk and blackboards

Hi Grace,
The free app MPEG Streamclip may be able to convert the file to a more suitable format. It can be downloaded from the developer's site here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Here's a User Tip by AppleMan1958 that provides some more information about MPEG Streamclip (it's about importing homemade DVDs, but similar principles apply):

I want to effect a change for about 100 users - basically I want a command-line solution in CentOS. Is there a reasonable way to automatically associate .ica files with /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica so we don't get prompted by Firefox? TIA.

I would like to write a script to do this for about a 100 CentOS users. I don't want each of them changing preferences on their browser.

Is there a way to import a indd CS4 file with its Data Fields names and properties into CC?

I have to convert numerous files from CS4 to CC. The CS4 files are using external data from a CSV file. When I open the file in CS4 I can enable the preview and see the data from the CSV file. But when I save the file as indd or idml and try to open it in InDesignCC then I can't see the data as preview. I can see the Data fields (text).I think it's because it doesn't recognize the data fields from the CS4 file. If I delete a data field and remap it I will be able to see the preview for the field I just mapped. the other fields remain the unchanged, like they were just text.
Any help with this topic will be very appreciated. I have about 70 data fields per document and about 100 documents to go through.
Update: The symbol for a data field, ex: «fullname_2» change size when I delete and remap it. Explanation: When I open the CS4 file in IndesignCC I can't view a preview of the Data field(s) (almost positive because it's plain text). The data fields show like this «fullname_2». But when I delete that and drag a field from the data field list it shows like this <<fullname_2>>. So definitely, CC is not reading the data fields from InDesign CS4.
P.S.: The fields above («fullname_2» and <<fullname_2>> are copy and paste from Indesign CC.

I'm attaching this image so this forum can notice the difference on the Data fields from CS4 and the ones added on CC

Contextual menu for formating drives

Is there a contextual menu that will allow me to format drives so that all I have to do is right click on a drive or CDRW/ DVDRW/ HD and select erase to erase the drive instead of always having to launch the Disk Utility all the time.

A CDRW CD is not a hard drive or drive but I understand the question.
If your computer has a Combo drive or a CD-R/CD-RW drive, you can burn files onto CD discs using the Finder. If your computer has a SuperDrive, you can burn files on CD and DVD discs.
By default, Mac OS X burns CD discs in a format that can also be used on non-Macintosh computers.
Insert a blank CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.
Type a name for the disc in the dialog that appears (if CDs & DVDs preferences are set to "Ask what to do"), or under the CD icon if no dialog appears.
If you see the dialog, you can choose an action from the pop-up menu and select "Make this action the default" if you want the same thing to happen every time you insert a blank disc. Then click OK.
Drag files and folders to the open disc window and arrange the files exactly as you want them. The names of files, folders, and the disc can't be changed after the CD is burned.
Choose File > Burn Disc.
Select the burn speed and click Burn.

"Open with ... other" Finder contextual menu

Hi, I am facing a curious situation in my SL 10.6.8 machine, when using the "Open with ... other" Finder contextual menu.
When I'm logged with any user account except one, the menu item behaves normally : it creates an "Open window" pointing to the /Applications folder of the machine and the window seems to be a normal one.
But when I'm logged with a specific user account, the menu item creates an "Open window" pointing to the /Documents folder of the user account instead of the /Applications folder of the machine. So I need to manually navigate to the /Applications folder to choose the application to launch.
Of course, I may create a new account, transfer my files to this new account, delete the current one and explain to Time Machine that the new account is the same as the old one. But I don't want to waste my time with this basic solution. So, I'm looking for a better one. But, at this time, I failed to find the way the "Open with ... other" Finder contextual menu knows where to open the "Open window".
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hello linda2009
1) I bought my first Default Folder licence in 2002. I upgraded to Default Folder X in 2003. I have a very good opinion of this product, and I recommend it to my friends when they decide to switch to Mac.
2) My Macs are configured with many accounts, one which is admin (and the only admin) of the machine, the others which are non-admin users.
3) The incident I described in my first post occurred only when logged in one of the non-admin accounts.
4) To solve the incident, I did not deinstall the product, but only deactivate it when logged in the specific account showing the problem, delete the preference files of this account, and reactivate the product always logged in the same account. Of course, as the licence key was stored in one of the files I deleted, I had to register it again.
So, the incident did not change my mind about the product. I suggest you try it. It's free for 30 days.
Hope this will help you.

Finder context menu: Send files to Bluetooth device...

When using the contextual menu to send files directly, to a known and pre-selected Bluetooth device, the 'scan for device' windows ALWAYS appears.
In my case it's usually to send to a smartphone which is established in system preferences and as such, selectable under the context menu.
This is so annoying - is there any way to fix this?

You can see from the screenshot below why this contextual menu item could be bothersome. The item widens the contextual menu when the path of file is too long.

Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

I have Camtasia from the pc I was using. It has a .msi file extension for the installation file. Is there any way to open the Camtasia installation file with the .msi extension on my new Mac?
Thanks,

That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Right-click contextual menu in Firefox 4: Is there a way to move/remove "Open in new tab?"

I don't really like tabbed browsing, but "Open in new tab" is the first choice in the right-click contextual menu. I would like to have "Open in new window" be the first choice.
So is there a way to edit the contextual menu to change the order of menu items or delete them entirely?
Thanks in advance.

This UI change is really stupid and useless. People got used to some specified menu items order. Changing this order could only annoy and anger.
Also the reload button has been relocated. This is another example of stupid Firefox 4 UI change. The good news is that it could easily be relocated to its original place.
It looks like the Firefox developers are suffering from idleness and boredom.
CHANGE IT BACK ASAP!!!
