FinderSync 扩展与 Dropbox 冲突

Question

I have made a FinderSync extension, app but every folder monitored by Dropbox (to show the "Move to Dropbox" context menu) prevents my extension to show file badge icons inside that folder. The folders I know Dropbox uses: ~/Dropbox, ~/Documents and ~/Desktop.

I read that the extension that gets enabled first takes the "ownership" of folder badge control.

Does anyone know a workaround for this?

What you can do is to restart DropBox Finder Integration on start of your app. This way your extension has higher priority for common folders. I'm issuing this bash command at start:

pluginkit -e ignore  -i com.getdropbox.dropbox.garcon;
pluginkit -e use  -i com.yourcompany.yourextension;
pluginkit -e use  -i com.getdropbox.dropbox.garcon;
