Changes

=Thank you= FMenu and Growl notifications ==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!

Great appFeel 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 really wish the crashes would stop, but a couple of suggestionsI will integrate infinite sessions into the next release so that at least it won't be necessary to log into the app each time you start it up.[[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 03:36, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

1. It would be nice if you could click on the Growl notifications and be taken to the relevant page, e.g. if my friend updates a status and I click, it goes to her page or if someone posts on the wall, it takes me there. 2. The menu icon should also indicate whether people have posted or not. Perhaps by colour or counter?:#Thanks! The first one is definitely something I will be looking into, hopefully soon.:#As for the second one, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. What do you mean by "whether people have posted"? Posted what? Wall posts? Please clarify...thanks again! [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 14:47, 11 February 2007 (EST)Basically, I think the Fmenu icon should have status indications. 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 you know.:I see, so you want the updates to happen not only through Growl, but also through some change in the icon, correct? This can be set in the 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. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 22:26, 14 February 2007 (EST)=Bug reports & suggestions=

How about auto updates? * I would like to be able to choose which notifications I receive.. for example Idon'm pretty sure theres t want to see profile updates. If this is already a cocoa plugin which helps with that (Adiumfeature, cyberduck and others use I can't find it) . [--[[User:21297.8587.20111.10056|21297.8587.20111.10056]] 0417:1432, 14 February 2007 23 July 2008 (ESTEDT)]:Yes, **Choosing which notifications you get is done via the Growl preference pane. You can open iteasily from FMenu's called Sparkle, but the setup for it is a bit intensive. It will happen eventually thoughpreferences.

:<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)

== Random Quitting? QuickLaunch Cursor ==When using the QuickLaunch feature it would be amazing if when you either click on the menu item, or use the keyboard shortcut that the cursor appears within the text box. Reducing the use of the mouse or trackpad is always a nice thing. Additionally the ability to launch QuickLaunch without having to click on the 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 QuickLaunch feature. Oh the possibilities. --[[User:Loudestnoise|Loudestnoise]] 17:14, 2 April 2007 (EDT):Hey 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 still looking at implementing a system-wide shortcut for getting Quicklaunch to appear, however. Hopefully in the next version :) [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 01:49, 5 July 2007 (EDT)

So during normal usage of my computer I will look up to the menu bar only to see that FMenu is missing. I never quit it, but it just disappears from my menu bar. [[User:Loudestnoise|Loudestnoise]] 20:12, 27 February 2007 (EST):Does quicklaunch remain visible or no== Status Updates with Profile Pictures? If not, then that means that FMenu is crashing. Otherwise, it could be that just the icon is disappearing. Which is it? thanks... [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 23:03, 27 February 2007 (EST)::I'm not sure what you mean by quicklaunch remaining visible. The icon just disappears and according to activity monitor nothing named FMenu is running. [[User:Loudestnoise|Loudestnoise]] 01:09, 2 March 2007 (EST):::So yeah, it's crashing. Is it still happening on a regular basis, or did it just happen once? [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 01:12, 2 March 2007 (EST)::::Sorry for not checking back, I can provide no more details really. It's quite random. I usually don't notice it has happened until I look up to the menu bar and see that the icon is gone. [[User:Loudestnoise|Loudestnoise]] 23:43, 24 March 2007 (EDT)==

This happens to me as wellSo, fairly regularlyobviously, about 2/3 times per dayGrowl shows the FMenu app icon in the notification. --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 13:15, 3 March 2007 Would it be possible to change that icon (ESTin the Growl notification)to the Facebook profile picture of the person the notification is referring to?

Me tooThis wouldn't apply in all situations, 10+ times per day! [[User:70.176.17.62|70.176.17.62]] 22:48, 4 March 2007 (EST):Please try the latest release and see if this problem still existsbut it would work amazingly well for status updates. Thanks! [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 22:29, 31 March 2007 (EDTCan you tell I'm a Twitteriffic user?)::On all day so far --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]]

OccasionallyBut seriously, say every hour or two, a growl thingy pops up saying "You have new photo comments", when I don't. I appreciate it trying to make me feel wanted, but there this is an inevitable let-down when I find out it's been lying to me. Why?? I advise you to teach your program the value of honesty :p --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 13:19, 3 March 2007 (EST) PS can you put back the total pokes thing which was in 1.6 i think:Two things: what's your update frequency, and when the popup does show up, what is the number of photo comments shown in the menu? Thanks. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 14:35, 3 March 2007 (EST):: Update frequency of 7 secondsamazingly great app, and it always stays at 30 photo comments, but I don't think that's true. head--[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 20:05, 3 March 2007 (EST):::No need to think twice – just click on the menu item and compare it to the counter shown at the top of the page. It might be off by 2 or so. So you're saying that it always says 30, even after the popup notification?:::: Hmm, this is odd. I have 30 pictures overall. Facebook says I have 30 picture comments, but in fact i have 20 comments - there is one picture with 10 comments, which is reported twice in shoulders above the 'My photo comments' bit - strange, no? So your program is reporting what Facebook says, but facebook is wrong. But in answer to your question, yes it always says 30. Oh wait. Ok it just popped up a growl picture comments message now. Now it says I have 103 photo comments. Now it's back to 30. Wha? -other amateur-[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 10:46, 4 March 2007 (EST):::::AHA! Thanks. That makes sense – the 103 is actually an error. I'll fix this in the next release, sounds good. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 13:59, 4 March 2007 (EST)::::::Cool. could you also put 'total pokes' back in the menu please, and fix the random quitting (If ish work that's possible)??? cheers. Do you want a crash log? or some other kinda log for being done with the random quit? --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 17:35, 4 March 2007 (EST):::::::Unfortunately, Facebook has eliminated 'total pokes' functionality a few weeks back (and in fact, the photo comments will cease functioning on March 22 as well). As for random quitting – I'm guessing that this is due to memory leaks which I'm currently trying to resolve, but if you know how to get the crash log, feel free to paste it into [[/crashlog]]API. Thanks! [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 19:23, 4 March 2007 (EST)::::::::Ah right. What I think is the crash log is there now. --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]]:The crashes should be fixed in 2.1 – please give it a try and let me know if it's any better! [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 22:29, 31 March 2007 (EDT):: Hasn't happened yet! --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 16:58, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

--Thomas Duesing--[[User:138.38.226.204|138.38.226.204]] 22:48, 13 May 2007 (EDT):Thanks for the encouragement! I've just checked in a change that allows you to choose the phrase inserted into status update messages [http://fmenu.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fmenu/GNotifier.mm?r1=47&r2= login problem =46&pathrev=47 to be anything you want].:As for your other suggestion, it's definitely doable, but I think I'll hold off that for a bit. 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 log in once...forever. I'm also adding upcoming events and groups to Quicklaunch. Look for a new release this week!:Thanks again. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 02:03, 21 May 2007 (EDT)::The release is out and will let you change the phrase used in the notification as I mentioned. Using photos from friends' profiles is something I will look into for the next version. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 01:49, 5 July 2007 (EDT)

New version When I have FMenu running, there is much improved! Howevera 27-28 second delay between initiating sleep and when the system actually starts sleeping. The screen goes blank, occasionally I get a flood of growl messages going off but the bottom of mouse cursor remains on the screen. After the delay it starts sleeping normally. Without FMenu running, 2 for what seems to be each of my contactssleep is immediate. i can't remember what they say, i'll try and get a screen cap No messages in system or user logs. --[[UserHere is my configuration:82PB G4, OS X 10.434.14411, FMenu 3.131|820, Growl 1.431.1444 == Bug 3.131]]1 ==: et voilà - http://mickeymooseAs of 10th June 2010, roughly, launching FMenu 3.pwp1 via login items or through normal launch causes the application to hang.blueyonderThe icon is grey and the QuickLaunch bar appears.coSometimes this flashes constantly and then dies after 5 minutes or so.uk/notesActivity monitor on Intel says nothing is wrong, but G5 says that application is not responding.jpg --[[User:82I have tried deleting the pref and the application and reinstalling, but nothing improves.43This also has an issue on my G5 Mac.144 Was checking little snitch activity, and FMenu is trying to communicate with the api.131|82facebook.43com, but then after some minutes the et services stops the connection.144I have Facebook Notification installed aswell and that is working fine.131]] 19:03, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
