Seven wishes to improve FP 2.2.1b+

[RonaldPR]

I don't want that FP modifies any programs. It still scares me a bit.

I have had "FinderPop active in all applications, not just the Finder" enabled for years, with "Enhance other apps' Contextual Menus too" disabled. Clicking in the menu bar will thus always work and I have never seen problems in any one of my 170+ applications.

What RonaldPR said.

I generally do not let FinderPop "enhance other app's contextual menus" - I just want the click-in-unused-menubar functionality.

If you think FP is causing a problem with a particular app, you can disable FP from "patching" that app by dragging the app's icon to the "Exclude" list in FinderPop's "Active" tab. So next time you start that app, FinderPop won't touch it. If doing this fixes whatever problem you were having, then it is likely that FP was indeed to blame, in which case let me know the details and I'll do my best to fix it!

Yeah, unused-menubar-clicks with "[√] FP active in: all apps" and "[_] Enhance other apps" in 2.2.5b is all I need and works great. I'm not scared anymore. ^^ Thank you! That's surely the best default for new users, too.

I am waiting to hear back from two people with (Snow Leopard) bugs, once I fix those, that will hopefully be it for version 2.3 which will be compatible with 10.4 to 10.6.

Then I will start working on the improvements you mentioned, plus a few other bits and bobs I should really get around to releasing and documenting...

Hi, Turly! Of course you're Irish, but: Congratz to your Spanish Footy World Cup Winners 2010! The Germans phugged it all up.

Now that your Barcelona players have won, you must (^!^) at least implement suggestions "G.)" and "D.)" finally, which I have already been proposing last year. Pleeeease...
