=Bug reports & suggestions=
If you have a bug to report or a suggestion that you want to make, first read what's already on this page, the [[/archive|archives]], and the [[FMenu/FAQ|FAQ]] to see if your question has already been answered, and if not, click the '''+''' at the top of the page (next to the '''edit''' tab) and tell me about it! I will get back to you here and appreciate your feedback.
=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.

== Future Features ==
Also, possibly a Quicksilver plugin? that would be awesome. --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 04:45, 13 February 2007 (EST)
I'd love to see the ability for the app to update our status with what we are currently listening to in iTunes. Not sure if this is technically possible but would be really cool to see implemented! [[User:99.237.4.226|99.237.4.226]] 14:46, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
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. [[User:Lensovet|lensovetlensove†]] 1100:5532, 14 February 2007 2 November 2009 (ESTUTC)
== 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) == Random Quitting? == 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? 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 well, fairly regularly, about 2/3 times per day. --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 13:15, 3 March 2007 (EST) Me too, 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 exists. Thanks! [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 22:29, 31 March 2007 (EDT)::On all day so far --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] == Photo comments fiction == Occasionally, 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 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 seconds, and it always stays at 30 photo comments, but I don't think that's true. --[[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 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? --[[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 that's possible)??? cheers. Do you want a crash log? or some other kinda log for 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 (with extended API functions and in fact, the photo comments I 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 look into [[/crashlog]]. 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)::: Okay I am still getting photo comments messages when I wake the computer from sleep or reboot.::::My apologies, this is a known issue in version 2.1; I should have a fix out soon. Sorry about that, I fixed the memory issues but other stuff came back in the process, blame Apple for writing bad Cocoa ... :/ [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 23:27, 14 April 2007 (EDT) == login problem == When i launch FMenu and open the Login window, all that shows up is a blank window. I see a load status bar load on the bottom left but nothing shows up. Tried keeping implementing it up for hours but nothing shows up ever. == Massive update splurge == New version is much improved! However, occasionally I get a flood of growl messages going off the bottom of the screen, 2 for what seems to be each of my contacts. i can't remember what they say, i'll try and get a screen cap. --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]]: et voilà - http://mickeymoose.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/notes.jpg --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 19:03, 2 April 2007 (EDT)::Thanks, I'm going to fix this in the next release (I know exactly why this happens...)

== 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)
== Several small problems == I keep getting a New Version Available Growl alert. When I select "Force Update Now" I just get the alert again an nothing is updated or downloaded. I have had to turn this notification off. About FMenu does nothing, either. Finder tells me I have version 2.1. Menu tells me I have "1 Shares in Inbox", but my account says otherwise.:Sorry about that, that was a slip-up of mine. However, please do download again as there were some changes I made (without releasing a new "version"). Sorry for the confusion... [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 00:41, 3 April 2007 (EDT) Status Updates with Profile Pictures? == Help from Fmenu screen capture == Mr. Borokhov: I found your program FMenu on MacUpdate and have a question regarding the screen capture graphic provided entitled "Facebox-ss.png." What is the menubar program indicated by the musical note icon two positions to the right of the Fmenu icon? Is it some kind of iTunes controller? I have been looking for this icon for some time and would appreciate your help. [[Image:23967_scr.png]] Thanks!
Peter MellisSo, obviously, Growl shows the FMenu app icon in the notification. Would it be possible to change that icon (in the Growl notification) to the Facebook profile picture of the person the notification is referring to?
pedserdoc@mac.com:Hi thereThis wouldn't apply in all situations, but it's not an iTunes controller but a plugin would work amazingly well for [http://last.fm laststatus updates.fm] that submits the songs (Can you tell I play to [http://www.last.fm/'m a Twitteriffic user/lensovet/ my last.fm account]. You can find it at http://www.last.fm/tools/downloadplugin/?id=11)
== FMenu Crashes after login ==Also, personally, I don't care much for the "now" that is inserted in the status update messages. I think it throws off the flow of some updates, since people don't expect it to be there.
Hi thereBut seriously,this is an amazingly great app, and it's head-and-shoulders above the other amateur-ish work that's being done with the Facebook API. Thanks.
Been using FMenu --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 whilechange that allows you to choose the phrase inserted into status update messages [http://fmenu.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fmenu/GNotifier.mm?r1=47&r2=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 great distraction! Nowbit. Currently I'm working on crash-proofing the app (and preventing memory leaks), howeverignoring bad results coming from the server, it immediately quits after I and supporting infinite sessions so you have to log inonce...forever. Seems I'm also adding upcoming events and groups to only happen when Quicklaunch. Look for a new release this week!:Thanks again.

Edit: Hi -- I posted this does not happen with version 2.0:Hi thereover on the Facebook FMenu Users page, thanks sorry for the feedback! It looks like you might have gotten a bad release – try downloading again and let me know if this still happensreposting, but it's unclear where bug reports should go...thanks! [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 00:16, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
The same thing happens when I try a new version. Have tried to delete preferences as well. As I said, it still only happens when When I log in with my usernamehave FMenu running, pochaf at mcmaster dot ca and not any other profile.: That's really strange. I know there are issues that need to be fixed in 2.1; maybe fixing them will fix your problem too. Stay tuned is a 27-28 second delay between initiating sleep and please accept my apologieswhen the system actually starts sleeping.The screen goes blank, but the mouse cursor remains on the screen.After the delay it starts sleeping normally. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 23:28Without FMenu running, 14 April 2007 (EDT)sleep is immediate.
== updating issues with the new facebook layout ==No messages in system or user logs. Here is my configuration: PB G4, OS X 10.4.11, FMenu 3.0, Growl 1.1.4
Hello!== Bug 3.1 ==
As of 10th June 2010, roughly, launching FMenu 3.1 via login items or through normal launch causes the application to hang.
The icon is grey and the QuickLaunch bar appears.
Sometimes this flashes constantly and then dies after 5 minutes or so.
Activity monitor on Intel says nothing is wrong, but G5 says that application is not responding.
I have tried deleting the pref and the application and reinstalling, but nothing improves.
This also has an issue on my G5 Mac.
It seems Was checking little snitch activity, and FMenu is trying to communicate with the launch of api.facebook.com, but then after some minutes the et services stops the new connection.I have Facebook layout Notification installed aswell and that I'm not getting updates to FMenu anymore. No notification of new messages, comments, profile changes, nothingis working fine.
Didn't see this here as a documented bug so I wanted to post and see if you knew what was up.
ThanksNOTE!A system restart made the login window appear and all works now.
