The problem was that the Finder window has to be on the working directory
or a sub-directory.  If it's on a super-directory, commit doesn't work even
though you right-click>commit on a file in the working directory.

I've found a bunch of other problems and reported them.  They've been very
responsive - especially for a weekend!

Re: [fossil-users] [Announce] New FossilSCM Tortoise-like Finder extension for macOS - SnailFossil

Worked so far for me without any problems - but, I admit, I have only done 
limited testing. You do need to activate the app in System Prefs but the 
initial wizard should have taken you through this process.

The right click commit seems to work fine in Sierra. You need to add the 
checkout directory to the list that SnailFossil is tracking. The files that are 
synced up should all have a green tick badge. Adding a new file to the checkout 
folder should then result in the new file icon being tagged with a blue ‘?’. 
Right clicking brings up a context menu incl ‘Fossil commit’. There is a blank 
area for a commit message and below this, a list of possible files to add. 
There is a 'select all' checkbox or individual files can be selected.

I did have to force quit the finder at one point to force a redraw of the icon 
but so far have only had to do this once.  I did have a couple of glitches with 
a prev Langui app in El Capitan and needed to restart the finder occasionally. 
Not sure what OS you are using and if that is of any relevance. I am using the 
latest version of Fossil.

Sorry - I didn’t read the docs (so didn’t find the problem that you mentioned) 
but I think it is fairly self explanatory - you need to have the repo and the 
checkout yoyu want tracked identified in the preferences. Once you identify the 
checkout, snailFossil will find the repo for you and ask you to activate it. 
The app needs to be kept running in the background - but can be left in the 
menu bar.

I bought this, largely to support the Fossil community (because I don't use
Finder much, but this might change my workflow), and a couple of points:

1) the docs are wrong... to add a working directory you need to go to
SnailFossil preferences.

2) The right-click to commit doesn't do anything for me. I've emailed them,
but any help appreciated.
