Fixing Forklift 1.7 for running on Snow Leopard

I recently discovered Forklift and was so delighted with the software, I bought it after using the trial for only 15 minutes! Thank you for such a wonderful product!

I have two Macs. One is running Leopard 10.5.4. This runs Forklift fine. The other is running the latest developer build of 10.6 (build 10A432). Unfortunately, Forklift won't run at all; it crashes on launch.

I know Snow Leopard hasn't been released. But with the recent freeze of the 10.6 APIs, I'm hoping that a Snow Leopard compatible build can be released soon. While I really like Forklift, unfortunately I am not in a position to revert back to 10.5 on my development machine.


Here is a workaround to fix it

sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/AppleShareClientCore.framework /System/Library/Frameworks/AppleShareClient.framework

sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/AppleShareClientCore.framework/Versions/A/AppleShareClientCore /System/Library/Frameworks/AppleShareClientCore.framework/Versions/A/AppleShareClient

sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/QuickLookUI.framework

sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework/QuickLook /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework/QuickLookUI

sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework/Versions/A/QuickLook /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework/Versions/A/QuickLookUI


Have fun!
