Add menu item for opening application support directory. #44

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
To add custom switchlist templates, a SwitchList user needs to open a chain of 
awkwardly named directories (~/Library/Application\ Support/SwitchList/).  
Worse, the sandboxed version of SwitchList expects a different directory 
(com.blogspot.vasonabranch.SwitchListApp/Library/Application 
Support/SwitchList.  Explaining the different paths and how to add custom 
templates is frustrating for users.

Instead, SwitchList ought to have a menu item for "Open Template Directory in 
Finder" that opens a Finder window for the location of the files.

Sandboxing may not allow sending Apple events to the finder.  Another approach 
would be to have an explicit "Add this template to Switchlist" menu item that 
would have access to the file system, and could copy the file into place.

Fixed in r516.  Added menu item that copies the template into place.
