Hi all,

I have a question,when mount a disk with "local" option  through FUSE, the disk can show  in finder device Sidebar. But I am developing a network disk and not able to add "local" option, so how to show the disk in the finder device Sidebar??

thanks

You could add Finder Sidebar Favorite item programmatically. Maybe this can help:

+ (void) addDriveToFinderFavorites

{

    @try

    {

        // this method will freeze at CFBridgingRetain if called on main queue

        assert(![NSThread isMainThread]);

        NSString* path = SREG.context.mountPath;

        CFURLRef url = CFBridgingRetain([NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]);

        // Create a reference to the shared file list.

        LSSharedFileListRef favoriteItems = LSSharedFileListCreate(NULL, kLSSharedFileListFavoriteItems, NULL);

        Log(kLogCore, @"Attempting to add mount disk to Finder Favorites sidebar: %@", X(path));

        BOOL alreadyAddedToFinder = [self isMountUrl:url addedTo:favoriteItems];

        if (favoriteItems && !alreadyAddedToFinder)

        {

            Log(kLogCore, @"Adding mount disk to Finder Favorites sidebar.");

            LSSharedFileListItemRef item = LSSharedFileListInsertItemURL(favoriteItems,

                                                                         kLSSharedFileListItemLast, NULL, NULL,

                                                                         url, NULL, NULL);

            if (item)

            {

                CFRelease(item);

            }

        }

        if (!favoriteItems)

        {

            CDLogWarn(kLogCore, @"FinderFavoritesSidebar: No favorite items found.");

        }

        if (alreadyAddedToFinder)

        {

            Log(kLogCore, @"FinderFavoritesSidebar: item already added");

        }

        CFRelease(favoriteItems);

    }

    @catch (NSException* e)

    {

        CDLogError(kLogCore, @"Exception trying to add drive to Finder favorites sidebar: %@", e);

    }

}

+ (void) removeDriveFromFinderFavoritesForMountPath:(NSString*)path

{

    @try

    {

        assert(![NSThread isMainThread]);

        Log(kLogCore, @"Removing Finder sidebar path: %@", X(path));

        LSSharedFileListRef favoriteItems = LSSharedFileListCreate(NULL, kLSSharedFileListFavoriteItems, NULL);

        CFArrayRef favoriteItemsCfArray = LSSharedFileListCopySnapshot(favoriteItems, NULL);

        NSArray* favoriteItemsArray = (__bridge NSArray*) favoriteItemsCfArray;

        NSString* mountPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/", path];

        for (id item in favoriteItemsArray)

        {

            if ([[[[item valueForKey:@"_internalItem"] valueForKey:@"bookmark"] description] hasSuffix:mountPath])

            {

                LSSharedFileListItemRef k = (__bridge LSSharedFileListItemRef) (item);

                LSSharedFileListItemRemove(favoriteItems, k);

                return;

            }

        }

    }

    @catch (NSException* e)

    {

        CDLogError(kLogCore, @"Exception in removeDriveFromFinderFavoritesForMountPath: %@", e);

    }

}

+ (BOOL) isMountUrl:(CFURLRef)url addedTo:(LSSharedFileListRef)favoriteItems

{

    NSString* lastPathComponent = ((__bridge NSURL*) url).lastPathComponent;

    NSArray* favoriteItemsArray = (__bridge NSArray*) LSSharedFileListCopySnapshot(favoriteItems, nil);

    for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < favoriteItemsArray.count; i++)

    {

        LSSharedFileListItemRef currentItemRef = (__bridge LSSharedFileListItemRef) favoriteItemsArray[i];

        NSString* name = (__bridge NSString*) LSSharedFileListItemCopyDisplayName(currentItemRef);

        if ([name isEqualToString:lastPathComponent])

        {

            return YES;

        }

    }

    return NO;
