Thanks, Kevin! I think you may have mentioned dealing with this a while back. One reason I suspect there's no way to avoid (briefly) activating the app is precisely because of what Accessorizer does. I have the luxury of being able to (and wanting to) go in the opposite direction, from .app to .service instead of vice versa. I found one person's sample code, from which I figured out how to find plenty of examples in GitHub: simply search for NSRegisterServicesProvider. I now have converted my project to a .service, which fortunately is pretty simple. It wasn't hard to modify my Application project, but I'm surprised there's no Xcode template for a Service project. I haven't found any help from Apple except this one line: > To build a standalone service, use the extension .service and store it in > Library/Services. How did everybody else learn how to write a .service? --Andy _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
