Quay 1.1b3 (Mac OS X)

Just posted 1.1b3 (250)  

I found an issue on some Intel Macs with 1.1b3 (249) where the "Average CPU %" value in the application popup was completely wrong. It's fixed now, and because it's such a small change I preferred not to bump the beta number, but just incremented the build number. So if you're affected by this, please download again and reinstall. My apologies for this slip-up. [alert admin]

Nudge 1.01 (Mac OS X)

Re: Do we still need Nudge for Tiger?  

No, so far it looks like the Tiger Finder has indeed cleaned up its act. I haven't had to use Nudge myself yet on Tiger. [alert admin]

Please check the file length...  

I caught a one-line bug after publishing and have re-uploaded the file. The correct zip file length should be 489,141 bytes. Sorry about that. [alert admin]

Oops, found a build problem in the framework, fixed it and uploaded again. My apologies to all. The new zip file should be 400,652; please check. The source hasn't been changed, so this may not affect you. [alert admin]

Incorrect file/folder counts?  

mfix, I've since checked this under both 10.3.3 and 10.3.4 and could not reproduce it even once. Would you please e-mail me directly with more details? [alert admin]

E-mail me  

"plaintiger", could you e-mail me about this? Reassigning the default application has some special cases, I might have a tip for you. [alert admin]

Nudge 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Try again  

younghk, in Panther you can refresh all files in a folder without selecting any of them. Just control-click in the empty area. (You can try this out on the desktop...) [alert admin]

Nudge 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Rats?  

rzeman, Nudging a folder will update its contents, like you wish... one way is to right-click anywhere inside the contents (without selecting an item), the menu will operate on the containing folder. [alert admin]

still cannot drag off of menus...  

That would indeed be a plus, since you can't drag off the Dock's menus either. In fact, I'm not aware of _any_ application where you can drag off menus... it may even be impossible. Will look into it, though.

Dragging to a stack  

Perhaps the help file didn't explain this properly? 1)If you drag a folder onto the Quay window, then to the Dock, it becomes a "Quay Icon". This looks like a folder but is in reality a special file which only Quay understands. Because it is a file, you can't drag anything onto it; but it's easy to assign a special icon to it while setting it up in Quay. 2) If you drag a folder directly from…

Progress  

"Yes, but Quay lacks one of the most important (in my opinion) options - drag and drop." Not true at all; since 1.1b1 Quay does popups for Stacks for too; and you _can_ drag and drop on a Stack.

Strange happenings after 10.5.2 install  

Why is that strange? It's a new Quay feature since 1.1b1, and took me lots of work to do, too! ;-)

Progress  

Thanks for registering! Well, you'll still need Quay unless you're content with 10.5.2's plain menus and few sort options. Check out the new comparison shots on the product website for details...

The good, the bad and the ugly  

"File: "Quay.rsrc" Detected that the resources overlap and cannot be repaired" Yes, that's deliberate; the overlap is part of my codesigning scheme. Simply disregard that message. I'll put a notice in the next version to that effect. As to my website, my ISP had a few hour's downtime due to server migration, it's OK again. May I ask what you disliked about the software itself, then? :-)

FYI  

While you're certainly free to wait for the supposed next version, you may want to compare features; I certainly wouldn't charge for doing the same thing. "Best of all Apples implementation will almost definitely be bug free": while I have the utmost respect for Apple's engineers - some of which are my friends - there is no such thing as "bug free". ;-)

Folders lose links  

Simon; I'm working on this. Oddly enough, I can't reproduce this on any of my own Macs, and very few users are running into this bug - so far there's no common circumstance I can find. The new version (which should be out after Christmas) will use a different scheme that should avoid whatever causes this. My apologies.

Re: Great!  

There's no Apple-supported way of putting an icon into the Dock. I could add it to Dock's preferences and then kill and restart it; this has side-effects like also killing Dashboard and all widgets. No, it's best left to the user to organize the Dock, at least until Apple publish a safe way of changing it.

So close...  

Well, notice that dropping things on the dock "folders" isn't in the software's description... it's just the popup menus. Though I'm searching for a way to do it in version 1.1.
