CSV, markdown, plaintext, and JSON plugins are must-haves for office work.
BetterZip's plugin is okay.
Even better would be:
I'd sacrifice my first born child for a "Show Package Contents" option supporting zip, webarchive, and other common composite files.
(Using Finder: highlight file with .app or .dmg extension, right-click to show context menu, chose "Show Package Contents", opens new tab with selected file as "mount" point. I'd really like to know how Finder "mounts" composite files without using fuse file system thingie. Then maybe we could write plugins.)
- eyesee 6y agoBecause they’re not really “composite files”, they’re packages. It’s just a normal directory with a bit set to treat it as a file in context (also driven by file extension). “Show Package Contents” just opens a Finder window rooted within the package. From CLI you’ll see them as a directory.
- specialist 6y agoAha. Feeling dumb that I didn't know that. Of course they're directories with some metadata. Duh. I always kinda guessed that DMGs were something like a ZIP file. Well, not really: "3. Mounting DMGs DMGs can be mounted, just like any other file system, though technically this is what is known as a "loopback" mount (i.e. a mount backed by a local file, rather than a device file)" http://newosxbook.com/DMG.html http://newosxbook.com/DMG.html Pretty cool. Thanks for the tip. Now wondering about differences between loopback mount, FUSE, potential for seamless Finder UX integration...
