AddressBook add-in doesn't show up in Lion. #6

Under Lion, it seems that the Snail Mail add-in for the Address Book doesn't show up. So there is no option to select the address and print from there.

Hi Noah,

Unfortunately, I don't know what they've changed in the way that the Address Book uses plugins. It used to work simply by having the Snail Mail plugin installed in the Address Book plugins folder. So I'm not sure if the location has changed, or the way the the Address Book uses plugins has changed. It would require a lot of research to figure out, but would probably be a simple change once the new method was figured out.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to look into this myself. It may be work searching for tutorials on writing Address Book plugins.

Cheers, Nik.

Plugins are not supported by Contacts so the plugin has been removed from my fork in 2020.
