# TotalFinder.osax

This source code implements scripting additions used by [TotalFinder](http://totalfinder.binaryage.com).

**TotalFinder** is a plugin for Apples's Finder.app which brings tabs, dual panels and more!



## Is this a replacement for SIMBL?

Yes, this is SIMBL-lite tailored specifically for TotalFinder.

## BATFinit event

Installs TotalFinder.bundle into running Finder.app (/Applications/TotalFinder.app is just a wrapper app for this script)

```AppleScript

tell application "Finder"

    -- give Finder some time to launch if it wasn't running (rare case)

    delay 1 -- this delay is important to prevent random "Connection is Invalid -609" AppleScript errors 

    try

        «event BATFinit»

    on error msg number num

        display dialog "Unable to launch TotalFinder." & msg & " (" & (num as text) & ")"

    end try

end tell

```

## BATFchck event

Check if TotalFinder is present in running Finder image.

```AppleScript

tell application "Finder"

    -- give Finder some time to launch if it wasn't running (rare case)

    delay 1 -- this delay is important to prevent random "Connection is Invalid -609" AppleScript errors 

    try

        «event BATFchck»

        set res to "present"

    on error msg number num

        set res to "not present"

    end try

    res

end tell

```
