Adding item to the sidebar with a custom icon

Open nicolaspapp opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I was wondering, I was trying to add a item to the sidebar but using a custom icon, and passing it as the forth parameter in LSSharedFileListInsertItemURL. However I'm quite new on PyObjC and cannot fully understand how the translation would be.

This is how it is being done in Objective-C: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12309830/lssharedfilelistinsertitemurl-cant-assign-icon-to-finder-sidebar-item-in-10-7-a

Would you mind setting up a quick example on how this could translate into Python? Then I could do a quick PR on how to add it as a optional parameter into the add method

I'm afraid that I really don't know how that would translate to Python as I'm not familiar with Objective-C. However if you manage to implement it, feel free to create a PR in this fork so that I can add it to the PyPi library. It could also potentially be a FR and see if someone is familiar enough with these libraries to actually implement it.

I was giving it a second thought and actually recall attempting to add an icon with PyObjC but I gave up. If you can do it please create a PR on the PyPi fork and I will review it.
