Hey guys,
I got something on my MBP and I want to add it on my MBP. It's for deleting a file without sending it to the trash folder. Chucker already posted a solution here but I can't find it. It adds a contextual menu that "rm" a file or a folder.

Perhaps you could clarify your post a bit?

I thought that was clear.

Ok it's a combination of 2 things as I remember. One that let you add item (scripts?) to the contextual menu (We're talking about the right click here). The second is a script that does the "delete" part.

Clear as mud to my reading... maybe I need more coffee????

As best as I can guess...... your question is..... "I seem to remember a bit of software that adds a contextual menu command for "rm", but I don't remember what it is. Can anyone tell me what that software is, and where to find it?"

No one is going to be able to help if they don't know what you're asking.....

[dmegatool]

Yeah pretty much.

As I mentionned, I know Chucker already posted this here but I can't find it anymore.

I found that the contextual thing is "onMyCommand" ... just the delete script missing.

I've found what I needed. I walked to my car and took out my laptop to check it out... Just wanted to avoid that 15 minutes walk :P

Yeah sure.

So you need to download onMyCommand here. The file goes in library/contextual menu item

Then you create a .plist file that you put in your library/preferences folder (It's just a plain text file). Copy the following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict>	<key>COMMAND_LIST</key>	<array>		<dict>			<key>ACTIVATION_MODE</key>			<string>act_file_or_folder_not_finder_window</string>			<key>CATEGORIES</key>			<array>				<string>Administration</string>				<string>File</string>				<string>System</string>			</array>			<key>COMMAND</key>			<array>				<string>rm -f -R </string>				<string>__OBJ_PATH__</string>			</array>			<key>NAME</key>			<string>Delete File/Folder Now</string>			<key>NOTES</key>			<string>Submitted by Howard M. Fried</string>			<key>SUBMENU_NAME</key>			<string>..</string>			<key>VERSION</key>			<integer>1</integer>			<key>WARNING</key>			<string>Are you sure you want to delete?</string>			<key>WARNING_EXECUTE</key>			<string>Delete</string>		</dict>	</array>	<key>VERSION</key>	<integer>2</integer></dict></plist>

This thread has given me a slight headache.

Based on the clarity of your posts I'd say you definitely live up to your user title.

Did you actually sleep last night or are you still up?

What was is it ? "Pretend to be blind" ?

Anyway just to mention that I used this thread to find the script again. What a great thread wihout any confusion !!

[dmegatool]

Hummm not working. Can't get anything to show in the contextual menu. Anybody is using onMyCommand under 10.6 ?
