Re: [Contribution] U1 Finder Plugin for OS X Lion & Mountain Lion

 

Hi Manuel,

Yes, it uses the RESTful API. The daemon uses IPC to communicate with
the other U1 client applications, it is? This plugin is written using
Objective-C, not Python, but I think that could be possible, and I
hope, faster (the speed is critical in this kind of plugins).

I'll try to join around 4pm (spanish timezone)
