Nothing happens when one is selected. They do work in Mavericks (have not tested Mountain Lion). Reverting to FP 2.4.6 fixed the problem in Lion. |

| billearl 26 Jul 2013, 02:37 | Re: FinderPop 2.4.9 not working in Lion On further testing, FP 2.4.7 works, but FP 2.4.8 does not, so it's probably related to a change in 2.4.8. Maybe "Fix bug in escaping pathnames passed to shell when running scripts"? As you're probably aware, FinderPop 2.4.7 (and prior) failed silently when trying to pass a pathname containing an apostrophe (ascii 39). FP 2.4.8 and 2.4.9 fail silently with ALL pathnames, not just ones containing apostrophes. So I'll use FP 2.4.7 for now. |

| turly 30 Jul 2013, 08:57 | Re: FinderPop 2.4.9 not working in Lion Hey Bill - sorry for the delay, got caught up with real life. Try this fixed version of FinderPop - version 2.5 ! Only change was to fix that bug when consing up arg strings for scripts. I'll announce version 2.5 "officially" later this evening. Unless of course it's not fixed, but it looked OK to me. PS: If you have the CAPS LOCK key pressed, FinderPop will print the string that it passes to the 'system' command to run shell scripts and Applescripts. You can view this string in the console, for example:

| billearl 30 Jul 2013, 19:17 | Re: FinderPop 2.4.9 not working in Lion Thanks, Turly. That fixed the problem (including escaping of apostrophes). I tested it in Lion and Mavericks. Probably of little consequence at the moment, but in Mavericks, the FinderPop scripts do not appear when a folder is selected on the Desktop (also the case with FP 2.4.9, but I just discovered it now). |
