Hi

A lot of PM users looking to Neofinder as a replacement for PM+.

Here is an AppleScript to open a selected file in Photo Mechanic 6;

tell application "NeoFinder"
set sel to selected items
if sel is not {} then
set filepath to finder path of item 1 of sel
tell application "Photo Mechanic 6"
activate
open filepath
end tell
end if
end tell

You can also just drag and drop file onto PM icon in dock

That is neat. However, I really wish I could discover a similar way to open a selected NeoFinder image (or indeed a selected Photo Mechanic image) in Capture One.The NeoFinder macOS context menu item Open with → Capture One.app does not work to select and open the relevant image. Neither, now, does “Edit with…” in Photo Mechanic when that is set (in the Settings) to Capture One.

Capture One really is a recalcitrant beast at times.

Thanks a LOAD for allowing me to learn a new english word: "recalcitrant", awesome! :D LOL

But that lack of standard "open with" support for these apps is very annoying.

Similar to what digikam on macOS does.

Pity, really.
