You can do this with Services if you are willing to have it in the services menu of the contextual menu, the user has to enable your service by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, you may be able to AppleScript that. If you are just writing scripts for you own use that you want to use from the Contextual Menu, do a google search for Mac Services AppleScripts. I think there is at least 1 app that lets you run scripts as services.
Doing it in Cocoa is pretty straight forward. On 13/07/2012, at 3:45 PM, Rakesh Singhal <rakesh.sing...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Eric, > > Thanks.
