Love MEE!
Not quite a haxie. But I present the Menu Extra Enabler 1.0.1 Beta. There is nothing super about it. Please test it. No matter what version of Mac OS X you are running. Version 1.0.1

Installed it and tested it. It works for me, but it was also working before I installed the new version on my machine. I have the following items in my menu starting from the right corner; CeePeeYou, Clock, Input Mode, Battery, Display, Sound, KeyChain Access, Airport, iChat, Stuffit, IC-Switch and Konfabulator. It's been working fine for me in both Jaguar and Panther... :) ps. I've got the following entries in my Console log at login; 2003-11-24 16:09:13.858 SystemUIServer[1023] Normally CPUMenuExtra would not have been loaded as a Menu Extra. This is basically the same thing that I had before installing the new mee-101 beta... Posted by: Richard Hess on November 24, 2003 4:33 PMOn 10.3.1... I have the Key Chain Access menu extra turned on. I had also installed CeePeeYou, which would not start automatically when I logged in. This new version of MEE seems to have 'fixed' that and everything is working as it should again. Oddly enough, WeatherPop Advanced always loaded OK where CeePeeYou would not. Maybe the difference is that WeatherPop is listed as a startup item and CeePeeYou isn't. Thanks! Posted by: Ralph Jacobs on November 24, 2003 8:01 PMWeatherPop is its own application, not a menu extra. Posted by: Inspired on November 25, 2003 4:03 AMWeatherPop does have a menu extra embedded into it's resources though... Posted by: bob on November 25, 2003 7:02 AMKeychain Access menu existed before Panther. Don't know if it behaved differently in Jaguar. Posted by: Visa on November 25, 2003 11:18 AMWell, CeePeeYou survived a logout/login, but not a reboot. Between CeePeeYou and Keychain Access, I would rather have CeePeeYou. If I take Keychain off, will it stop killing CeePeeYou? As it stands currently, I'm working the same with the MEE 1.0.1b as I was with the previous version (CeePeeYou won't load in Panther). Let me know what information would be useful for debugging purposes if you need it. Posted by: Ralph Jacobs on November 25, 2003 2:57 PMRalph, Where do you have CeePeeYou installed in the menubar? On my machine, I've got CeePeeYou installed as the very first item on the far right side of the menu bar (see my previous post if you want to know everything that I'm using). If you've got CeePeeYou installed to the left of KeyChain Access, try moving it to the other side and see if this helps... :) Posted by: Richard Hess on November 25, 2003 3:50 PMforgot to mention that I'm running Panther... 10.3.1 Posted by: Richard Hess on November 25, 2003 4:00 PMI have installed xounds 2.1 beta and it worked great (panther 10.3.1) till a certain point of kernel panic I am not able to reconstruct. After that and various deinstallations and new installations no more sound. Only if I create a new user, everything is fine again. Even the september version xounds 2.0 works great. I created several testusers and always the same positive resault. Only the one i installed it first, will not work. I suppose it has something to do with this specific user library, baut I dont know what file/ folder oit could be. Who can help a soundaddictive macuser (since 1984)?? Thanx! Posted by: Michael on November 26, 2003 3:46 AMI had WeatherPop, CeePeeYou, Keychain, Airport, Volume, Battery, Clock (from left to right). I disabled Keychain and rebooted. Weatherpop and CeePeeYou didn't load and there were still messages in the console log about Keychain and enable.menu. So I reinstalled the new MEE and rebooted once again. Now everything is showing up that I want. The Keychain menu extra is still turned off. I can find a lot of documentation on StartupItems, but very little on LoginItems and their start order. It would be nice to know what fires when and which bundle loads in which order beyond what is listed in the GUI. The problem I was having seemed to be an start order type of problem. Anyway, the reinstall seems to have cleared up the problems. Posted by: Ralph Jacobs on November 26, 2003 9:50 AMKeep comments on topic.
