MediaInfo does not show up when control click #27

The title says it pretty well... Media Info is enabled as Finder extension:

SCR-20240212-pybw

But in the tab "Finder-Extension" itself there seems to be nothing:

SCR-20240212-pyus

In the App itself, my Hard drive is monitored. I even tried it by just entering one specific folder!

SCR-20240212-pzie

But when I rightclick a image/video/etc nothing shows up:

SCR-20240212-qani-2

@MasterSpam Same issue. Context menu stopped appearing but I'm unsure when it happened. Just noticed today.

I have the same settings: monitored folders are "/" (whole disk). No menus appear on any of my selected preferences (images/audio/video).

@MasterSpam I managed to fix the issue accidentally. I had an Automator Finder Extension (Workflow) that I updated.

Workflow had the settings: Workflow recieves current: files and folders in finder.app

Once I'd updated this workflow, it seemed to refresh the context menus and the MediaInfo menus reappeared.

@Rub-z I sadly can't do this because I have no Automator Workflow on my Mac :(

If you try to monitor a folder inside the user dir and not the root the extension works?

@sbarex unfortunately not... I inserted one special folder, which only contained one picture/video. But nothing has changed

On the Activity Monitor (inside Applications/Utility) can you found one (or more) MediaInfo Finder Extension process?

@sbarex yes... but with 0.0 CPU usage...

sbarex commented 7 months ago

try to disable the extension, then move the app to the trash. then restore the app in the applications folder, run the app then re-enable the extension. The 0 cpu usage is correct, the app uses the cpu only when you rightclick on a file in a monitored folder.

@sbarex Thank you very much for your support! This has actually solved my problem! I deleted the app with "AppCleaner" and with it all the files that were together with the application itself. And that helped!

Thanks again for your help and your nice app! It's really helpful and nice!

Keep up the good work!
