Yeah, it is pretty lame. Abstractly I understand and sympathize with Apple's move here, but we as software developers lost flexibility and power that not only degrades the user experience but in some cases makes our software impossible to re-create. Services are not offered for the context menu on a Finder window background, for example. And I'm still not sure why someone thought it was a good idea for volume to be a subclass of folder in the UTI hierarchy instead of a peer (and a subclass of container). _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
