MacPro
10.6.3 Snow Leopard
FinderPop 2.3.0 in French or English

FinderPop Items is still not there

either

- if invoked with right click (the name shows up with blank icon but won't open the dossier)

- or in the Preference Panel, (Show "FinderPop Items" folder has no action)

something must be wrong...

Bonjour fx,

That's odd.
Is this your first time installing FinderPop, or was it previously installed?
It looks like there is something amiss with the FinderPop Items folder. This normally lives in the user's "Library" folder.
For the French localisation, if it is a first-time install, I create a folder in ~/Library called 'FinderPop Items'.
Then I create a symlink called 'Elements FinderPop' pointing at that. (Or it might be the other way around, TBH I'm not sure as I'm still at work.)

Can you fire up /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and type in the following?

Code:
cd ~/Library

followed by
Code:
ls -ld *inderPop*


and either mail me the results (turly at finderpop.com) or post them here if you wish.

ok thanks

I manually re-created the 'FinderPop Items' folder in my user/library, (the 'Elements FinderPop' alias was there too)

now it works, either in English or French

So was there already a 'FinderPop Items' folder there?
It's probably too late, but what were its permissions?

For a future version of FP I will do a chown/chmod on the 'FinderPop Items' folder if it's not what it should be... though I think you could only arrive at a situation like that if the 'FinderPop Items' folder was created by another user?

WAY too late ... Scrouitchhhh !

one and only user ... me

what I did (after sometimes living without it) is install the "Leopard" version of FinderPop on a fresh "Snow Leopard" volume. (FinderPop never was on it, and it was fresh system install "from the ground up" , no migration assistant, completely new libraries)

And it worked , except for the FinderPop items, already...
