WYS menu not appearing, any other way to run it? (drag n drop, commandline... ) #23

I'm not seeing the WYS menu in my Finder's context menu for some reason (macOS 13.5.2)

I was wondering if there's any way to trigger it to check a bundle via the commandline, or some way to drag and drop onto it? Would be a nice feature to have so we could use it in Alfred workflows...

Under the hood, it uses /usr/bin/pluginkit to install itself: Specifically: pluginkit -a <path 2 ext>

via the -m and -i options, along with bundle id (com.objective-see.WhatsYourSignExt.FinderSync) you can then query to see/confirm that it's installed:

% pluginkit -m -i com.objective-see.WhatsYourSignExt.FinderSync
+    com.objective-see.WhatsYourSignExt.FinderSync(2.2.0)

Ok, thanks- yes disabling and re-enabling the extension with pluginkit got the menu to appear. But, I have a long context menu because a lot of apps like to stick things in there. It would still be very useful to be able to either drag+drop into WYS or trigger the cert check via a script somehow.
