Menu Master Alpha 1

Here is a super alpha build of Menu Master.

- Completely rewrote menu handling. This may break apps that used to work with Menu Master. This may fix apps that didn't. Old preferences are not carried over. New preferences will not appear in the preference pane.

It does not yet work with InDesign. That's the reason for this alpha. I do not want to have to spend all that time on making InDesign work just to find out there is some major logic flaw in Menu Master that would cause it to be rewritten.

Only the APE is included. If you do not know how to install it, this download is not for you. If you do not know how to use Menu Master, this download is not for you.

By the way, due to the menu rewriting, Menu Master now (should) work in the Application menu. So now you can finally remove that lame shortcut for Block Pop-Up windows. Seriously, what lame person decided Command K would be a good shortcut when Command L takes you to the address bar? They are RIGHT next to eachother. I cannot say without embarrassment how many times I have accidently hit command k when I meant to go to the address bar.

A huge post about Japan is forthcoming. It will explain all.

Email me at my name at unsanity.com. That's .com.

Edit: Ya know... it might help if our server understood .sitx... Does now.

Digg This!

Wow.. I never thought of it that way. I always just assumed some sites were smart enough to somehow turn it off :D (It would turn off every once in a while, seemingly at random).

If you're bugged by having Command-K next to Command-L, switch to Dvorak, they're waaaay on the opposite ends of the keyboard from each other. ;)

As if .sit wasn't bad enough, you're using .sitx?? Why? Just use a compressed disk image. It's small, doesn't require any third party software, and you (obviously) don't need OS 9 compatibility anyway.

I'm looking forward to Menu Master getting finished. I've been thinking about registering it myself since Apple's implementation in Panther was so terribly disappointing.

Menu Master 1.0.1 seems to work perfectly for me under 10.3.1, though it did not work at all under 10.3.

This includes the Application menu of Safari, where I have no problem reassigning Block Pop-up Windows to anything I want.

No offense to Unsanity, but in Panther, didn't apple make this functionality into the OS? I remember seeing it in the DP.

Because Panther's way is lame? ;)

Heh.

I was thinking about this very issue this morning on my way to school. It literally takes something like ten extra steps for extremely crappy keyboard shortcuts using Apple's method. It reminds me of Window. Ironically, Unsanity is more Apple-like than Apple these days.

Hi Lisa Simpson.

I also tried the alpha on 10.3.1 and had the same results as Vitaly, it crashed sys prefs and console everytime I tried to run them.

Aha! That's why popup blocking keeps being disabled. Thank you :)
