Custom Menus/Actions
View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
I'm sort of new to OS X so please somebody let me know if there is a better way to do this:

I'm trying to use the new Custom Menu in Remote Buddy to display a listing of files (.zip) in a specific folder. When I select a file I want it to open up in a specific application(an emulator). I would like to do this for a bunch of different menus. They would all display a listing of .zip files but each menu folder would open that set of .zip files in a different application.

Basically, all of my game console roms are in zip format but they each need to open in a different emulator.

Is this possible in Remote Buddy by using an OS X Action or something?

Thank you for your help. P. S. Remote Buddy is fantastic.

Hello Craig,

what you suggest is perfectly possible - although with one more step.

1) Enter RB's Preferences 
2) Choose the "Menu" pane and select "Craig's profile" from above the 
right listview. 
3) Drag the folders you want to add from the Finder into the custom 
menu.

And you're done. Now, when using the Remote Buddy menu, you'll be 
able to directly browse those directories, and - given the emulator 
software you want to use has a proper Info.plist file included which 
indicates it can handle .zip files directly - select the emulator of 
your choice.

Best regards, 
Felix
