Hi guys, quick question to which I think I already know the answer: are FileActions broken in 1.0.4?

I’ve downloaded the Cocoa Sugar sample and after wrestling with a few linker issues, it compiled, installed and both the TextActions and Itemizers features worked without a hitch while the FileActions features didn’t appear. I’ve tried a few different approaches - stripping the action down to a bare minimum, changing the category setup etc but the actions still won’t appear in the file menu.

From mikem’s comments in his Flash.Sugar thread (http://wiki.macrabbit.com/forums/viewthread/72/P15/#1472), the FileActions definitely seemed to work at one point then die in 1.0.1 and I’ve yet to find anything saying they’ve been fixed or a workaround posted. I’ve had a look at some of the Sugars on GitHub and I can’t find any actually using FileAction which is presumably a symptom of the fact that it doesn’t seem to work!

Anyone apart from mikem and myself tried to use FileActions and if so, any joy getting them to work? Hopefully I’m just missing something and another user (or Jan) can clear this up :)

Cheers,

Colin
