(You might have to enable this in the FP prefpane.) ![]() What about the little "FP" menulet? Does that still work? To double-check, your desktop background pic hasn't changed? FP might be making an invalid assumption about where the menubar lives, though from what you were saying about being able to click on the dividing line between menubar and desktop, I'm not sure about that.ĭoes clicking on (0, 0) - the very top left corner of the main screen - work OK?Īnything unusual about your screen geometry (multiple screens, etc?) might be an issue with how they're laid out. On 10.6+, FinderPop "sees" what it was you clicked on in the Finder via the Services subsystem - ensure that you have Folder Actions SetupĮnabled: System Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services > Files & Folders > (ensure Folder Actions Setup is checked.) Open and ask if you want to install FinderPop for all users or just you. Double-click the FinderPop.prefpane icon. Anyone out there got FP working on did you follow the installation instructions?Įnsure you use Apple's unzipper to unzip the FinderPop zip file as some third-party unzippers do not respect permissions.Įnsure that the System Preferences panel is CLOSED. Not sure what could be going on there and I no longer have an SL Mac to try it on. Re: Spinning wheel on Snow Leopard install I still haven't figured out a proper way to get the Finder item clicked on El Capitan and later. You have to select the item you're clicking on first (eg, single-click) and then, once it's selected, right-click it again. Re: FP is working under macOS Sierra 10.12 with SIP Note that all that does is turn off the "too new" version checking, if there are still underlying FP problems with the new OS, I'll need to investigate. ![]() Klunky, I know, but it has worked for me the last few times I turned on my Mac.ĭefaults write ignoreSysVersionCheck -bool true One thing to note about FP with the Sierra Finder is that for reliable FP use, you first have to click (select) the item you want to popup FP on, and then, in a separate right-click or control-click on the item, invoke FP on the item. I've seen this a couple of times but I've never been able to debug it because the bad behaviour never happened when I tried debugging it. Apparently that skulduggery still works on Sierra, but the window one is broken. I do remember that FP's handling of clicks on the desktop required different skulduggery than clicks in a window. Now I'm not saying I'll never fix these FP/Sierra issues, but it's down the list of stuff I'd like to get done. I got tired of battling Apple who quite obviously don't want this kind of "invasive" program on their systems and make it a PITA to install even if I, the owner of the computer, want it. In addition, I am spending less time in front of a computer these days, and all of that time is in Windows or Linux. Of course, FP works perfectly in 10.9 so I'm happy there. a not-very-streamlined development process. For various arcane reasons, the FinderPop build system won't work on "newer" systems, so my Mac is still running 10.9, but can boot up into 10.10 and later from external disks, which is how I test FP. I'll be frank here - I've booted up my Mac maybe seven or eight times in the last year. Re: FP breaks Finder's right-click contextual menu in Sierra? Step 1b in bold in the post before yours.Ĭode: defaults write ignoreSysVersionCheck -bool true Did you spell it right? Did you enter the command while logged in as the same user who's actually trying to use FinderPop? ![]()
