Process Manager
The Process Manager shares the processor among
multiple applications. Mac OS 8 includes the following
new features in the Process Manager:
- Under some circumstances, the cursor would not change
to the cross hairs as expected for small area screen
captures. This has been corrected.
LaunchApplication now honors alias
files.
- Process Manager is slightly more strict about when it
will call
jGNEFilter for "fake"
keyDown events created by the Text Services
Manager, eliminating some duplicate events.
- During application switches, the Process Manager now
checks if a mouse down was pending in the event queue for
the foreground application or any floating windows in the
Text Services Manager layer. This correction eliminates
the possibility of a mouse click in one of the foreground
application's windows sneaking through to the application
being switched in.
- The Process Manager will no longer launch invisible
'appe' files.
- If a process unmounted a volume that was the default
volume for one or more other processes, the default
volume was not correctly updated for those other
processes when they were switched in. This could result
in a File Manager disk switch dialog appearing asking for
a disk with a garbage or blank volume name. The Process
Manager now ensures that the File Manager's default
volume is valid when switching processes.
