Open In Forklift toolbar item for Finder

[wyctim]

Hi!

I just want to share my little app. Drag it to the Finder toolbar, and click to open the actual opened folder in Forklift.

Thank you.

wyctim, nice job! It's really "a must" for me. Therefore I was asking developers for this "feature" in the ForkLift 1.5 blog comments, but I see, you're quicker! :) Thank you very much

Probably you (as I) haven't ForkLift life in the /Applications folder. Change the AppleScript in the Open in Forklift.app into

try
tell application "Finder"
set currentPath to (POSIX path of (target of front window as alias))
set appPath to POSIX path of (path to application "ForkLift" as alias)
end tell
do shell script "open -a '" & appPath & "' '" & currentPath & "'"
end try

Thx that was it ...... opens a new FL window though - i really hate having to work with multiple windows ;)

FL needs TABS, TABS, TABS !!!

I cant seem to get it to the finder toolbar, when I drag the .app there., it doesn't allow it; I am using 10.5.2.

Ideas? I saw the code you posted, but no idea how/where to execute that [tried terminal...] Sorry..... new mac guy here!
Thanks

OK - I got it - you have to hold down the alt key while dragging and hover over the toolbar for a second or two. Now it works and works great!

Thanks
