So does the "normal" FinderPop menu work? I.e., you control-click a folder in the Finder and you get a FinderPop menu with the name of that folder in bold and a submenu hanging off it? |

INSTALLATION: Ensure you use Apple's unzipper to unzip the FinderPop zip file as some third-party unzippers do not respect permissions. Ensure that the System Preferences panel is CLOSED. Quit. Not running. Double-click the FinderPop.prefpane icon. System Preferences will open and ask if you want to install FinderPop for all users or just you. Choose "All Users" and continue. On 10.6+, FinderPop "sees" what it was you clicked on in the Finder via the Services subsystem - ensure that you have Folder Actions Setup enabled: System Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services > Files & Folders > (ensure Folder Actions Setup is checked.) |
| Eric 29 Feb 2016, 20:21 | Re: Contents menu not working (FP 257 on Yosemite 10.5) Bingo - the Folder Actions Setup option had a 'minus' sign in the checkbox. Clicked until ticked and now FP working as per expectations many thanks Turly, you are a star! |
