finder

For a given extension, how do you check whether directories with that extension will be shown by the Finder as a package? I figured the method below is an effective implementation for this, but creating a temporary directory feels like a hack. I'm guessing I should be able to implement this properly through the Launch Services API , but I can't quite figure out how to do it (I might be overlooking the obvious though). // Extension method on NSWorkspace @implementation NSWorkspace (MyExtraMethods) - (BOOL) isPackageExtension: (NSString*) extension { NSString * pathToTemp = [NSTemporaryDirectory

I'm running the following applescript: tell application "Finder" set input to POSIX file "/Users/sam/Desktop/Resized" set theFiles to (every file of folder input whose name does not contain "- Resized") end tell return theFiles It's working as it should, though it's returning: {document file "HighResCat.jpg" of folder "Resized" of folder "Desktop" of folder "sam" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder", document file "madonna.jpg" of folder "Resized" of folder "Desktop" of folder "sam" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"} where I need a POSIX path (

sorry if I got some facts wrong during this but I have only been programming for about a year, since I started a computing course at my school, and sorry if this question has been answered before I have looked everywhere but I don't know what to search for. Recently I found a game where you can use an injector to inject python code into it, but the only way of finding the codes is by using: import modulename print dir(modulename) and then print dir(modulename.submodulename) Which would print all the submodules inside that module to the log file of the game. Using this technique I have

How can I get the POSIX path of the Finder window that is currently at the top of its window list? Preferably with some kind of Cocoa framework but I am open for anything. Background: I would need this because I want to make a selection of files matching a regex pattern, starting recursively from this path. The idea is to use [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] subpathsAtPath:thePath] method to get all the descendants of this path, use "grep" in an NSTask (to avoid packaging a regex support framework) and use [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] selectFile:aFile inFileViewerRootedAtPath:thePath] in a

I have done quite a bit with gesture recognizers for iOS, but I am now doing work in OS X, and I am lost. I want to duplicate the functionality that exists like in Finder where you can two-finger swipe (on your magic mouse) to go back/forward through a directory tree. I have an NSWindow based app that looks very similar to Finder. I have used apps before that allows you to build your own gesture recognizers so I know it is possible to do it, but I don't see any documentation on it. What do I need to do to implement these gestures? You can read about Handling Trackpad Events in the Cocoa Event

I m trying to open a folder in Finder using AppleScript. The following is my code. I want the folder WorkSpace to open in Finder, but it opens the Parent Folder /Volumes/MyMacDrive/Mani and highlights the WorkSpace folder. I want the contents of WorkSpace folder, but all I'm getting is its Parent Folder's Contents. What am i missing here ..? property the_path : "/Volumes/MyMacDrive/Mani/WorkSpace/" set the_folder to (POSIX file the_path) as alias tell application "Finder" activate if window 1 exists then set target of window 1 to the_folder else reveal the_folder end if end tell Manikandaraj

苹果Mac OS X操作系统下，隐藏文件是否显示有很多种设置方法，最简单的要算在Mac终端输入命令。显示/隐藏Mac隐藏文件命令如下(注意其中的空格并且区分大小写)： defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true 　　如果想恢复隐藏，可以用这个命令： 　　 defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false 显示Mac隐藏文件的命令：defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES 隐藏Mac隐藏文件的命令：defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO 输完单击Enter键，退出终端，重新启动Finder就可以了 重启Finder ： 鼠标单击窗口左上角的苹果标志-->强制退出-->Finder-->重新开启 来源： oschina 链接： https://my.oschina.net/u/931254/blog/99475
