How To Install Move Items Suite For Mac OS X
© 2002-2003 Narattaphol Charoenphandhu

Introduction :
Move Items X is a set of Mac OS X-compatible contextual menu plug-ins which allow users to copy items, move items and make aliases.  Users can move files and folders from the desktop or any folder to a specific destination by using the contextual menu command.  Destinations folders will appear on hierarchical menus, i.e. entire hard disk will be listed on the menus, and users can browse to any level of the hard disk.  Move Items X can also move selected items to a newly created folder.  This helps users to group files together.  Please see more details about Move Items X in the Read Me.

¨

Requirement :
Mac OS X 10.2 or later

Components :
Move Items Suite for Mac OS X consists of two components :
1. Move Items Enabler, which is a tool for entering a registration key, as well as setting the advanced features of Move Items X.
2. The ".plugin" modules, i.e.
					1. Make Alias.plugin
					2. Make Copy.plugin
					3. Move Items.plugin

Install ".plugin" Modules :
The ".plugin" modules must be placed in the Contextual Menu Items folder inside the active Library folder of Mac OS X.  There are two methods for installation, i.e. using installer and manual installation.

1. Using installer:
	The installer, named Move Items X Plugins Installer, is located in the same folder as this document.  Just double click on the installer, and follow the instruction.  However, sometimes the installer may fail to finish the installation, mostly due to the insufficient permission or system security.  If this situation happens, please try using the manual installation.

2. Manual Installation:
	1. Open the start up disk.
	2. Locate the folder named "Library" inside the start up disk, then open it.
	3. Look for a folder named "Contextual Menu Items".  If you do not see it, please follow these steps :
		3.1 Create an empty folder inside the "Library" folder.
		3.2 Rename the folder that your created to "Contextual Menu Items".
	4. Open the "Contextual Menu Items" folder.
	5. Copy the " .plugin" modules into "Contextual Menu Items" folder.
		5.1 If you have old modules installed, please drag old modules to Trash first.
	6. Restart your computer.
		6.1 You can also "re-log in" or "re-launch Finder" to activate ".plugin" modules.

Uninstall ".plugin" Modules :
1. Locate and open the "Contextual Menu Items" folder.
2. Move all ".plugin" modules of Move Items X to trash.
3. Restart your computer, then empty trash.

Limitations of Unregistered Copies :
1. Unregistered copies can handle only 5 items, i.e. the menus will display only 5 menu items.
2. Some commands of unregistered copies are also disabled.
You need to purchase a registration key to activate all features.  Please see about registration in the Read Me.

Compatibility Note :
Move Items X has been tested on several Macintosh computers, including PowerMac G4, iMac, PowerBook G4 and iBook.  It complies the Apple's plugin-developing guideline, therefore, it should not produce any problem if it runs on a normal Finder.  With most third-party plug-ins installed, Move Items X can run without any problem.  However, some third-party softwares which vigorously tweak the Finder's menu routines may attenuate the functions of Move Items X, e.g. you may experience the Finder crash.  If you want to know whether the problem is resulted from the Move Items X or not, please create a new user on your system and test the Move Items X in that new user.
