| turly 10 Jul 2011, 20:21 | FinderPop 2.3.3.0 BETA FinderPop 2.3.3.0 Beta (imaginatively tagged "Lion") is now available. You probably shouldn't bother updating to this version unless you're using Lion GM - there will be further FP changes before Lion is officially released!
What remains to be done: * Contextual Menu Support in apps other than the Finder on Snow Leopard If you're installing this over a previous beta, you'll have to restart or logout for it to take effect. As usual, if there are any issues with this, reply here in the forum! |
| turly 10 Jul 2011, 20:33 | Re: FinderPop 2.3.3.0 BETA Oh and a word of warning to those of you who (like me) have their User folder on a separate disk - i.e., my home directory is on a separate disk and all my OS installs point to it. This has worked well so far - I can switch from 10.6.x back to 10.5.x with the same home directory, same setup etc and everything is familiar and more importantly everything works. Alas installing 10.7 GM has broken this, it seems to be a one-way street for apps (Mail.app) and various prefPanes - caused by new 10.7 preferences confusing older 10.6 prefPanes - clicking on the 10.6 Keyboard prefPane either crashes System Preferences or just hangs doing nothing when I try to use it on 10.6 after having used it on 10.7. Now I've probably been lucky all the way from 10.5.0 (and indeed 10.4.x before that) up to 10.6.8, but this is the first time I've been hit. It could just be my system - indeed it probably is just my system - but I thought I'd mention it. Obviously if you recreate your home directory or use the 10.7 installer to migrate your stuff across, you won't have any problems... this only affects people who hop back and forth between OS versions with the same home directory. |

And each time I want to open the preference panel, it again asks for my adm password . In Console I see lines about FP patching applications when they are launched, and patching the Finder when it is re-launched, but no FP menu. I re-installed 2.3.2.0 beta and everything is fine again. |
| cat 11 Jul 2011, 00:24 | Re: FinderPop 2.3.3.0 BETA Works for me on 10.6.8........... So far. I’m back to using column view and it’s still working as is move, copy etc. It wouldn’t work at first, but then I discovered that Finderpop wasn’t active in ALL applications so check the control panel under ‘active’. Then, when Safari was the active application for example, clicking on the menubar brought up the Finderpop menu. |
| turly 11 Jul 2011, 07:33 | Re: FinderPop 2.3.3.0 BETA Hey Ronald - did FP print anything to the console when it was asking for your admin password? FP is trying to install the Scripting Addition (osax) at that point. Did it succeed? I.e., does /Library/ScriptingAdditions/FinderPopOsax.osax exist? There's very little different between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 other than the location of the osax (has to be /Library/ScriptingAdditions for 10.7 but was peviously ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions (ie your home directory.) |
| RonaldPR 11 Jul 2011, 09:14 | Re: FinderPop 2.3.3.0 BETA I do not have a /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ folder and that is also what is reported in Console:
Obviously you cannot cd into a directory that does not exist. It needs to created first. Does FP try to create that folder? Nothing reported about that in Console. Maybe in some configurations that folder already exists as a result of other software installations? It does not exist here. Snow Leopard was installed with migration of the one user only, last updated with the 10.6.8 Combo updater. So I guess that the /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ folder is not present in Snow Leopard by default. |
| turly 11 Jul 2011, 09:18 | Re: FinderPop 2.3.3.0 BETA @RonaldPR: Well spotted! That is indeed the problem - I just assumed that /Library/ScriptingAdditions would always exist. I'll fix FP tonight after work to create that directory if it doesn't exist. Sorry about that, and thanks muchly for pointing it out... |
| turly 11 Jul 2011, 19:29 | Re: FinderPop 2.3.3.0 BETA @RonaldPR: Fixed that issue, we now do a mkdir -p /Library/ScriptingAdditions The version is still 2.3.3, no point in creating a whole new FinderPop version for this fix. Now to find out why Lion control-free popup only works two-thirds of the time... |

Thanks. Installs and works fine now. |
