InputManagers f name changed by installer, broke other pgms!

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

When I installed Inquisitor v3.0(v49), *something* changed the name of my "~/Library/InputManagers" folder to "~/Library/InputManagers-Tiger". Now, Inquisitor works, but Safari Block and Safari Plus, (the other two items in that folder) don't work any more! Hmmm. It had to have been Inqisitor's installer that did that to me, else Inquisitor wouldn't work either.

So I created a new "~/Library/InputManagers" folder and moved Safari Blocker and SafariPlus into it, restarted Safari, and now all three programs work just fine.

I don't like it when some program, however useful it may be, thinks it's okay to change the names of folders on my computer. That's just plain rude behaviour.

InputManagers f name changed by installer, broke other pgms! - darkmooncalling

This happened to me, too, so thanks for the tip!

Now, I have Safari 3.0.4 installed with Leopard on my PowerBook, and I'd like to install Inquisitor on that, too (since it is advertised as compatible with Leopard).

But I notice in Leopard there is no folder "~/Library/InputManagers".

What do I do?

This is due to an Apple change in OS X 10.5

Input managers have to go in /Library/InputManagers. (until Apple completely removes this functionality)

~Library/InputManagers is ignored. (any hence why it may be renamed to avoid issues and confusion)
