How can I add a right click menu to search

Question

How to add a custom view to the context menu of each file in os x finder?

eg. I want to display an image if it is an image type and performs some user actions, etc.

is this possible with c or objective-c? if so, how? (without using any available tool)

Answer 1

You need to write a menu manager plugin based on CFPlugin. Unfortunately, this is due to some really obsolete Carbon stuff. There is a tutorial from a few years ago at mactech

Please note that this material may be outdated with Snow Leopard, although everything they come up with will probably be much easier to handle than with the menu manager / CFPlugin cruft.
