Unfortunately I don't seem to have the bps.plist file on my system, perhaps that's what Services Manager uses. The com.apple.nsservicescache.plist file has some useful information but it doesn't seem to be complete with all the info we'd need. I'd considered looking at whether or not the service has a shortcut key, but that won't necessarily work (you may want to use a service from within QS but not have to use a shortcut key).
The only other file of interest that I've found is the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ServicesMenu.Services.plist Again, the NSUnrestricted array looks useful, but isn't complete with all the services. If you figure anything out/decipher any of the files let me know then I'll have a look at implementing it in the plugin. As for the NSServiceModifications.plist file - that's a way for us to hard code which services should be avoided from QS, e.g. there are some which are just plain pointless from ever showing up in QS. The file was in existence long before I started maintaining the plugin, so I perhaps would have done things differently... :) On 13 March 2013 21:21, 1.61803 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, me neither, but I traced it to > > ~/Library/Preferences/pbs.plist > ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.nsservicescache.plist > > Actually, it seems only the first one has relevant data.
