Menu item keyboard shortcut

[hilmartor]

Hi all,

I am using one feature that PM has that is to be able to select "Browse with Photo Mechanic" in finders menu (mouse right click) which open a specified folder in PM. One problem is that I cannot assign a keyboard shortcut for this action. Does anyone know how to assign a keyboard shortcut to a Finders menu item (Mac) or will this be available in PM (Mac).

Cheers,
Hilmar

I know of no way to assign keyboard shortcuts to Finder contextual menus.  There may be third-party tools that will allow this.

I wasn't aware of this feature, which sounds useful. How do I get "Browse with Photo Mechanic" into my contextual Finder menu? I'm also on a Mac.

You can get the addition from here:

Follow the instructions contained in the disk image.  It works very well but it is unreleased software and I am looking for feedback on it and its instructions.  Let me know what you think.

Hi Kirk,

It is a great addon. One thing that I have to say though is that in the contextual menu finder you have to press "more" and then chose "Browse with PM". It would be better to have a shortcut key for this action or the possibility to go past the "more" to get to "Browse with PM".

If you have any ideas on how to achieve that than it would be great.

You must be running Leopard.  On Tiger (10.4.x) the item appears on the main contextual menu.

Unfortunately I have no control over where it is located nor can I assign it a command key.  The Apple-provided API doesn't offer such features.

Hi Kirk,

I am really looking on how to achiecve this. Is it possible to have the "Browse with PM" in a shortcut/app which can be hot-keyed. It is a great addon to use this but a keyboard shortcut would make it perfect.

Any ideas?

Try searching for utilities on Version Tracker (www.versiontracker.com) or Mac Update (www.macupdate.com).
