Launching an app is easy, just hit SHIFT-RETURN.
However, there doesn't seem to be a way to launch an app in 32-bit mode. Would that be possible in Nimble Commander? E.g. with SHIFT-ALT-RETURN?

Re: Launch app in 32-bit mode
Wow, man, it's 2017 nowadays, 32-bit mode is deprecated even on iPhone
Speaking seriously, I've checked this area a bit, and there's no public API to control this behavior upon startup.
It's assumed that startup architecture may be changed only via Finder's "Get Info".
The most reasonable way to achieve what you want is to setup an external tool, which will call an "arch" tool, which in turn will execute a binary in desired mode. A bit complicated, but doable.
Here's the RTFM:

Re: Launch app in 32-bit mode
Right, that would be the alternative then, a workflow in Services that looks for the bundle executable path via Info.plist, then runs the app with Too bad there's no API. But believe it or not, there are still some 32-bit things flying around.
Code: Select all
arch -i386 /path/to/exec
