Snow Leopard (64 bit Cocoa) does not support contexual menu plugins

Apple removed support for contextual menu plugins in 64 bit Cocoa (from Leopard) and replaced it with services items on Snow Leopard (contextual menu contains services items). Even if the contextual menu plug-in is 64 bit, the applications will not load it.

Almost all Apple applications shipping with Snow Leopard run 64 bit by default, including Finder, so your contextual menu plugins will not work. 32 bit Cocoa still support contextual menu plugins on Snow Leopard.

Note that you should enable services items at System Preferences Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services to use services items on Snow Leopard.
