#     Add Item to Dock tips
#    ========================



# Add items from a file to the dock
# Depending upon the format of your file, you may need to alter this command slightly.
# An example line from the input file : /Applications/System Preferences.app/

# Note : some characters in the path will cause issues.
echo additemtodock `cat "$inputfile" | sed '/^#/d' | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/^/"/' | sed 's/$/"/'` | bash

# Any lines which are blank or begin with a # will be not be passed to additemtodock with the 
# command above. Using such a command with RADmind works great. You may use RADmind to manage
# symbolic links with radmind and then add all these items to a input file. If the file is available
# it will be added to the dock. However, if the symbolic link is not available then the item will
# not be added to the dock.
