fTerminal

Published on Friday, 6 April 2012

Just been surfing the net and came across this handy little tool, fTerminal, for opening the finder window in the terminal

One problem, I downloaded, unzipped and had the

Error

and when I tried to run it

"You can't open the application fTerminal - PowerPC because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

So let's create a new Automator Application.

Automator

Search for Automator and choose Run AppleScript

Now add your code on run {input, parameters} (* Your script goes here *) return input end run

Maybe you want to add an Icon to the Application: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/369/can-i-change-the-application-icon-of-an-automator-script

After the script has been created do the following :

  1. Find the icon you want
  2. Get Info of the icon file (cmd-i)
  3. Click on the icon inside the info window
  4. Copy it (cmd-c)
  5. Get Info of the application (cmd-i)
  6. Click on the icon inside the info window
  7. Paste the icon in the clipboard (cmd-v)

This method works for every files in Mac OS X.


Can be done with a service:
