An AppleScript for real time backups with Path Finder
This means that the Finder is never running on my system, and I would like for it to not launch each time my backup runs.Why dont you implement the suggestion for replacing Finder with Path Finder found in Cocoatech's Support Forum's "Tips and Tricks" section called Sticky: Please, once and for all, how to replace Finder ! The real solution is at the bottom of this sticky thread, repeated here: "Cmd-click on Path Finder, select "Show Package Contents". Go to Contents, open PkgInfo. Change "APPLPFdR" to "FNDRMACS" (ignore quotes; it's the only thing in the file). open your path finder and go to dir "/System/Library/CoreServices/" then backup your "Finder.app" (stuffit this file and save it anywhere), now go to your path finder dir and copy "Path Finder.app" and paste it on "/System/Library/CoreServices/" dir. now just delete this "Finder.app" (remember you got a bkp ) and rename "Path Finder.app" to "Finder.app". Restart your OS and you're ready to go! this is working like a charm here ..." And I found it did work like a charm...although, the writer "Guest" neglected to add that you might also have to reboot from another volume to remove Finder from Core Services. Anyway, I bought Path Finder today as a result of this hint. Thanks.

I tried out this hint, and it works.
An AppleScript for real time backups with Path Finder
Why dont you implement the suggestion for replacing Finder with Path Finder found in Cocoatech's Support Forum's "Tips and Tricks" section called Sticky: Please, once and for all, how to replace Finder ! I have read that this works almost all of the time, and that there have been some problems with completely replacing the Finder. Some programs rely specifically on the Finder to do what they do. (I.e., There are some Applescript commands which are meant for the Finder and will not work with Path Finder if it has completely replaced the Finder) I rarely have the Finder open under my current configuration. I have PF activate upon booting and automatically shut down the Finder upon launching. It generally only opens when I manually open it (to test some Applescripts mostly) or when an application which needs the Finder opens it (which is almost never). Thanks for the tip! |
