drop this onto your system folder. it will ask to be routed to the Contextual Menu plugins folder. say okay. restart.
now when you control-click on a simple text file or a read-only simple text file, toggler shows up in your menu. it toggles the state of the file back and forth from normal to read-only, hence the name "toggler."
known issues, or beware:
party-down! no known issues.
other stuff:
this cmplugin was written by me, brian pink, in codewarrior pro 4 in C++. it was based on Trygve Isaacson's excellent PluginFramework, available at http://www.bombaydigital.com/.
i wrote this to let me edit my read me's and then switch them to read-only for distribution. it may be useful to you. or not. =) it was also a good exercise for me to learn more about the File Manager. can i just say, that is my least favorite chapter of inside macintosh. :p
thanks:
this plugin was made possible by: daniel bogan, trygve isaacson, depeche mode, phish, codewarrior, straw-slammer, toothpicks, star wars legos and my tony hawk tech decks.
