Your taste doesn't represent others.

It's the same for you....!!!

 

That's true, but lucky for me I am the one who get to decide. And I already did leave an option for everyone to choose whatever they like.  So no biggy here. Move on!

@n.d.k

As you declare your BootPicker for official OpenCore, you shall change path for icons that there was no confusion.

EFI/OC/Resources/Image

 

Well as end user I just like the way it is...

this way if i want to use official icons i just select opencanopy and deselect ndkbootpicker, without messing with the files inside OC

so any choice you may make will have its own path.

the suggestion you propose imho will result in unwanted placing/replacing files which (always in my opinion) is unlikely needed by ndkbootpicker users 

 

To be honest I fail to see any benefit from this.

hi n.d.k

can you implement this ACPI process in OC?

my laptop has only battery patched DSDT with Additional custom SSDT files in Clover.

 

i'm using this process is in clover

1. Load Battery Patched DSDT(ignore original DSDT)

2. Rename GFX0 to iGPU(for example) in Patched DSDT and original SSDT files.

3. and load Additional custom SSDT files.

 

can i use this process in OC?

Should be implemented in toolbar button code, not as a background picture!

I like this code:)1311102442_ScreenShot2020-04-24at10_15_35AM.thumb.png.c05faa183d689994fb3009004a7509a9.png

What do you think about "Info" button like Clover's theme menu (config, smbios, etc) near shutdown button. But I don't think that @n.d.k have the time to do this, especially if each user requests additions.

Does anyone has an idea why my TimeMachine entry looks like this (only on USB on which I test my config, this issue doesn't exist on my name esp):

ScreenShot-2020-04-25-220414.thumb.png.d8297168c70fa7708d5936c36eb82223.png

 

I play around a little with some free to get Icons.

The Only one which is not working, also with Hide Entry in plist, ist this one.

 

In my config I take a look about hide entries and create this one:

But it's not working.

 

How can I change or hide this entry?

Ok, 

 

Got NDK fork installed but have questions:

 

1. How to boot an existing Windows installation?

 

2. Does NDKpicker tool replace Opencanopy?

 

Thanks

 

 

Also: Opencore boot menu does show me 'Windows' but when selected it goes straight into 'Automatic Repair' dialogue and then instant blue screen. Perhaps it scanned the wrong partition? 
 

And OpenShell not recognized by NdkPicker.

 

Thanks

I am not an expert but am booting Windows with OC by adding to my SSDT's so they are dead to windows.

If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
                    {
                        Return (0x0F)
                    }
                    Else
                    {
                        Return (Zero)

I think in NDK config setting EnableForAll to NO in ACPI-Quirks does the same.
NDKpicker replaces Opencanopy

This may or may not be of some use and I am on OC 0.5.8 at the moment, also win and Mac on different drives.

Well I did disable EnableForAll  and set it to false however doesn't work and Windows goes straight into 'Automatic Repair'. Is there way to manually add Windows to a boot entry in config.plist such that NdkPicker or Opencanopy sees it?

 

Thanks

 

BTW: NdkPicker fails to recognize OpenShell for some reason.

No info on the Shell issue maybe NDK or someone will chime in on it.

Have you read thru section 12 in the PDF? that is where I started then trial and error followed.

You might be able to use Misc-Entries to set a boot path.

I tried setting a custom boot path straight to the device path to the windows boot partition and it didn't matter if I picked 'BOOTx64.efi' from 'EFI/BOOT' or the other 'BOOTMGFW.efi' in 'EFI/MICROSOFT' the same thing happens. Get a 'Preparing Automatic repair' and Blue screen  error 0x0c000000d. Fwiw had to use opencanopy for the custom boot entry  to show. Not only that changing order of the children of 'TOOLS' in Config.plist entries had an impact on how many entries showed up on NdkBootPicker. All except OpenShell.efi for some reason. Think NdkBootPiker might have a bug. Anyhow think that when Windows tries to load its bootmgr there is an  error in the BCDStore. This is beyond my knowledge to know the solution but will keep on researching it. Thanks.

Thanks. About extracting path using uefishell.efi. You mean use openshell.efi and find it via map -r and adjust custom boot entry accordingly? Anyhow looked at the config.plist file. All you did was add the path to Blessedoverride?

Will try again tomorrow,

 

Thanks again.
