Can't find some default apps on Catalina #10

Closed jkemperman closed 4 years ago

jkemperman commented 4 years ago

A lot of the default apps on Catalina (e.g. System Preferences, Activity Monitor, Music) are unfindable. Other default installed apps (e.g. Garage Band) can be found. It seems all the apps that can be found, are listed in ls /Applications/, but some of the default applications seem to have some special status and can't even be found with ls /Applications/.

I've been using dmenu-mac for a few years on Mojave and older without issues, but only just stumbled upon this on my new Macbook with Catalina installed.

Workaround

This can be worked around by creating an alias in Finder with Cmd + Ctrl + A, and making sure it ends with .app. The alias can then be found by dmenu-mac, and you can launch the application that way.

@Gluestick thanks for the report!

Will update to Catalina soon and will try to fix.

@oNaiPs I don't mean to rush you - I was having the same issue and thought I would give it a go. I have created a pull request with a fix. 😃

Thanks @frayment! @Gluestick can you confirm if the fixed worked so I can close this issue?

ghost commented 4 years ago

@oNaiPs Thankyou, and confirmed working! Happy new years. :) Edit: Oops, will wait for Gluestick on that one.

Works great, thanks @frayment!
