I have a program in which I'd like to implement services. That is, I'd like it available as a service to other programs. As per the Appkit documentation in the release notes (2.0) I created a file that looks like this: (called services.txt) -- Message: servicesMessage Port: DATer Menu Item: Create DAT Contents Send Type: NeXT filename pasteboard type -- (above taken more or less from CopyPath.services) and added the following line to my Makefile.preamble: -- LDFLAGS = -sectcreate __ICON __services services.txt -- This brings me to two questions: 1. Where is a list of the valid send types? I don't really have write a program that asks the pasteboard for those strings, do I? 2. Why doesn't my program show up in the Services menu? I tried rebooting with the program in LocalApps, and it doesn't show up in the workspace like the services for CopyPath do. Note that I haven't implemented my Listner and servicesMessage method in my delegate yet. I assume that his shouldn't prevent the service from at least showing up, right? I'd greatly appreciate ANY help. Thanks in advance. --X
