Removing the „AirDrop“-Entry in macOS High Sierra #17

Open vasquesbc opened 6 years ago

vasquesbc commented 6 years ago

On macOS Sierra the AirDrop-Entry in the Finder SideBar can be removed with the following line: mysides remove domain-AirDrop nwnode://domain-AirDrop

On macOS High Sierra this is no longer possible. It seams that the AirDrop Entry has no name on High Sierra: mysides list -> nwnode://domain-AirDrop

I've tried to simply omit the name: mysides remove nwnode://domain-AirDrop

but this doesn't work: neq all Could not find sidebar item with display name: nwnode://domain-AirDrop

am i missing something? how could this be accomplished?

The only way I found to get rid of items like that was to do: /usr/local/bin/mysides" remove all

every time and rebuild the items I wanted on the sidebar from scratch.

I'm trying to do the opposite - I want to add AirDrop. To no avail.

I'll review the code again and see if I can get anything working. Like I've said, apple are going to kill this method off so it has a limited life.
