Has anyone successfully used mach_inject for Finder in Snow Leopard?

Just wondering if anyone did this successfully and what were the steps to get it working.

Thanks in advance.

GrowlSafari uses mach_inject .. it works .. I tried to reverse engineer it, but I don’t understand why it doesn’t work for my package loader (which is based on growlsafari), there really isn’t anything there that says it works on snow .. but you can always try iam still froob

I know that SIMBL uses mach_inject (e.g. dropbox and google drive) and that the SIMBL plugin and Open Source ColorfulSidebar inject themselves into the Finder

here for plugin source

Hope that helps!

mach_inject used to enter code into an arbitrary Mac OS X process, however mach_override redefines the code within the same process. You can see an example of use as in my FinderMenu project, which adds elements to the Finder context menu. In this project, I use mach_inject to load my custom package into the Finder process, and then mach_override to replace the context menu class method.
