=Thank you= Problem with ZIP archive? ==Not a bug report (though mine's been [[#Random_Quitting.3F|disappearing]] too occasionally), but I want to thank you for this fantastic app. Now I can be sure to be distracted by Facebook at any time of day, without even opening my browser! Facebook really will cost me my degree!

Feel free to remove this; I just wanted to say thanks! [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smiler_jerg smiler] 08:16, 11 May 2007 (BST):Thanks for the kind words. I can't open really wish the crashes would stop, but I will integrate infinite sessions into the archive—StuffIt Expander 10 stalls approximately 95% through and doesnnext release so that at least it won't start again, and StuffIt Expander 11 returns an error. Is there a place for me be necessary to download log into the app that's not compressed? each time you start it up.

== Friends opting out of Terms of Service and Update frequency Future Features ==

I have three questions. FirstNot sure if this is feasible, exactly what effect does but it have when a friend unchecks the Terms of Service box? Will FMenu not even would be able to tell me when they poke or message me? Second, is there any way I can tell which friends have opted out of this? My third question is how frequent is "too frequent" for fantastic if you could do things through the update frequency? How frequently can I have it update without hitting the request limit? Thanks!:Here we go!:#If the friend unchecks this boxprogram, they are completely invisible to the programe. That means that anything about ''them'' is inaccessible, like their profile and their statusg. However, when they poke specified people. Or if that wasn''you''t possible, this is still accessible, because it is ''your'' information that's retrieved should be fairly easy to link to find out the number of current pokesrelevant page - the /poke. So anything they do to you is availablephp? bit makes that easy, because your info is retrieved, but anything they do to their profiles is notright? Just a thought.--[[User:#Yes, there is82.43.144.131|82.43. click on the arrow at the right of the text field in the Quicklaunch panel144.

== FMenu :This is similar to the question above I think, but would it be possible to make the keyboard shortcuts usable without having to click on the menu icon ie. being able to open the quicklaunch panel (which i think is great) --[[User:70.158.150.128|70.158.150.128]] 15:24, 13 February 2007 (EST)::I really want this as well, so I will try to get it into the next release. It is definitely doable. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 23:08, 12 February 2007 (EST):::You know what would also be super great, the ability to have the cursor automatically appear inside the QuickLaunch Panel when it is launched, and Growl notifications ==when you complete a search that the panel would disappear. Then my life would be complete. --[[User:Loudestnoise|Loudestnoise]] 16:51, 15 February 2007 (EST)

Great appAlso, but possibly a couple of suggestionsQuicksilver plugin? that would be awesome.--[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 04:45, 13 February 2007 (EST)

1I'd love to see the ability for the app to update our status with what we are currently listening to in iTunes. It Not sure if this is technically possible but would be nice if you could click on the Growl notifications and be taken really cool to the relevant page, esee implemented!

2* I would like to be able to choose which notifications I receive. The menu icon should also indicate whether people have posted or not. Perhaps by colour or counter?:#Thanks! The first one is definitely something for example I will be looking into, hopefully soondon't want to see profile updates.:#As for the second oneIf this is already a feature, Ican'm not exactly sure what you meant find it. What do you mean by "whether people have posted"? Posted what? Wall posts? Please clarify...thanks again!

So if someone posts on your wall, it would be nice to have a number or something appear by or on the icon to let **Choosing which notifications you know.:I see, so you want get is done via the updates to happen not only through Growl, but also through some change in the icon, correct? This preference pane. You can be set in the open it easily from FMenu's preferences for the unread messages, unseen pokes, upcoming events, friend requests; i figured the wall post counter would not be of much use since most people probably have hundreds of posts, but I can definitely add it if you think it will be useful.

== Future Features Updating status == It would be cool if you could update your own status using this program.:<s>This would indeed be very cool, but unfortunately implementing such functionality is at this time against the Facebook API's [http://developers.facebook.com/tos.php Terms of Service]. You should e-mail them at developers-help@facebook.com to let them know that you want such a feature so that they are aware of the interest. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 16:57, 21 February 2007 (EST)</s>:This is now possible with extended API functions and I will look into implementing it for the next release.[[User:Lensovet|lensove†]] 19:32, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

Not sure if this is feasible, but == QuickLaunch Cursor == When using the QuickLaunch feature it would be fantastic amazing if when you could do things through either click on the programmenu item, eor use the keyboard shortcut that the cursor appears within the text box.g Reducing the use of the mouse or trackpad is always a nice thing. poke specified people. Or if that wasn't possible, it should be fairly easy Additionally the ability to link launch QuickLaunch without having to click on the relevant page - FMenu icon would be amazing. If I could set a global OS X shortcut to do this or something. My life would be complete. Or perhaps some kind of quicksilver intergration with the /pokeQuickLaunch feature.php? bit makes that easy, right? Just a thoughtOh the possibilities. --[[User:82.43.144.131Loudestnoise|82.43.144.131Loudestnoise]] 1817:4814, 12 February 2 April 2007 (ESTEDT):This is definitely doableHey there, the text box should now gain focus as soon as the QuickLaunch panel gets focus as of the latest version (2.5). I'm thinking of using keyboard modifiers for each action – for example, pressing option-enter instead of enter to send still looking at implementing a message, ctrlsystem-enter wide shortcut for getting Quicklaunch to pokeappear, etchowever. What do you think? Hopefully in the next version :) [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 2001:4749, 12 February 5 July 2007 (ESTEDT)

AlsoSo, possibly a Quicksilver plugin? obviously, Growl shows the FMenu app icon in the notification. Would it be possible to change that would be awesome. --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 04:45, 13 February 2007 icon (ESTin the Growl notification)to the Facebook profile picture of the person the notification is referring to?

How about auto updates? Also, personally, Idon'm pretty sure theres a cocoa plugin which helps with t care much for the "now" that (Adium, cyberduck and others use is inserted in the status update messages. I think it) --[[User:212.85.20.100|212.85.20.100]] 04:14throws off the flow of some updates, 14 February 2007 (EST):Yes, itsince people don's called Sparkle, but the setup for t expect it is a bit intensiveto be there.

I keep getting 've just checked in a change that allows you to choose the same notifications over and overphrase inserted into status update messages [http://fmenu.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fmenu/GNotifier.

Currently I'm working on crash-proofing the app (and preventing memory leaks), ignoring bad results coming from the server, and supporting infinite sessions so you have to see duplicate messageslog in once...forever. ItI's m also adding upcoming events and groups to Quicklaunch. Look for a series of 5 or 6 messagesnew release this week!:Thanks again.

The one that keeps repeating Hi -- I posted this over on the Facebook FMenu Users page, sorry for me is "XXXX wrote a new note" and "XXXX has updated her profile" It is always the same person and I've looked at their profile and it doesn't look like reposting, but it's changing to me. --[[User:70.158.150.128|70unclear where bug reports should go.158.150.128]] 15:23, 13 February 2007 (EST)

I can verify the above problem. When I have one friend that has consistently showed up as "XXXX has updated her profile" and "XXXX wrote a new note." They show side by sideFMenu running, often with any other events from other friends. Its been showing up nonstop since I downloaded it two days ago. She only has one note from last year, so she hasn't written there is a new note every 5 minutes over 27-28 second delay between initiating sleep and when the last two days. --[[User:146.151.11.242|146.151system actually starts sleeping.11.242]] 03:24The screen goes blank, 14 February 2007 (EST):Wow, I just started getting this myselfbut the mouse cursor remains on the screen.

== Spinning Beachball Bug 3.1 ==

During normal use As of 10th June 2010, roughly, launching FMenu sometimes 3.1 via login items or through normal launch causes the loading of the menu can take a minute plus during which when you mouse over the menubar application to hang.The icon is grey and you see the spinning beachball of deathQuickLaunch bar appears. --[[User:65Sometimes this flashes constantly and then dies after 5 minutes or so.82Activity monitor on Intel says nothing is wrong, but G5 says that application is not responding.99.3|65.82.99.3]] 12:14, 14 February 2007 (EST):I will look into thishave tried deleting the pref and the application and reinstalling, but i'm changing the heading since the app never actually crashesnothing improves.This also has an issue on my G5 Mac.

== Solution Was checking little snitch activity, and FMenu is trying to your authentication problem communicate with the api.facebook.com, but then after some minutes the et services stops the connection.I have Facebook Notification installed aswell and one feature request ==that is working fine.

Thanks,Aslam:Right, Sparkle requires an RSS feed with release info though, which is why it will take a bit to set upNOTE! A system restart made the login window appear and all works now. I do plan on implementing it though. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 17:15, 14 February 2007 (EST)
