Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the SIMBL Plugins directory?
It's located in /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins.
Can I create a Plugins directory just for my user?
Yes. You can manually create ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins.
How do I uninstall SIMBL?
You can run the SIMBL Uninstaller app included with the installer.
I've installed SIMBL, but it doesn't show up in the Application Support folder. What do I do?
For anyone else having this problem (i.e., you can't find the SIMBL folder in the Application Support folder), here's the solution spelled out: you are probably looking in the wrong Library folder. The Library folder you want is the system Library (i.e., click on your Hard Drive icon, then on the Library folder, etc...). If you try looking in the Library folder for your user, you won't find anything there.
I am having trouble sending NSNotifications using the NSDistributedNotificationCenter from within a SIMBL plugin. I can send a NSNotification with no userInfo object however when I add a NSDictionary userInfo to the postNotification: method it does not send.
I am attaching my plugin to TextEdit?, I have tried my code directly in TextEdit? using the textEdit source code and it works fine. Is there something going on in SIMBL that would prevent my plugin sending a notification to NSDistributedNotificationCenter with a dictionary?
Thanks
