PALETTES AND LIBRARIES INCLUDED WITH ONECLICK
This version of OneClick includes pre-designed palettes and button libraries for the following popular applications:
We are continually creating new palettes and button libraries for all the popular Mac applications. If we haven’t created palettes or libraries for an application you use, let us know! List the applications you use most often on your registration card. We’ll release additional libraries and palettes on our World Wide Web site (http://www.westcodesoft.com) and the major online services. Not connected yet? Don't worry, we'll be sure to keep you informed, but remember, we must have your registration card to do so.
Remember, all the buttons and palettes included with OneClick (including the Task Bar, System Bar, Launch Strip, and other palettes) are completely customizable for the way you work. You can rearrange the buttons, delete buttons you don’t use, and add your own buttons to any of the palettes. Additional pre-made buttons can be found in the button libraries included with OneClick. And creating your own buttons can be as easy as recording menu commands.
LAST MINUTE CHANGES OR HINTS NOT FOUND IN USER'S GUIDE
• The Phone Dialer button lets you import a list of names and phone numbers from a text file. Each name and phone number should appear as one line in the file, with a tab separating the name and number. Example:
WestCode Software<TAB>1-619-487-9200
You can use SimpleText or a word processor to create the file. (If you use a word processor, save the file as plain text or ASCII.) Once you’ve imported the text file into the Phone Dialer button, you can discard the text file.
• Finder palette enhancement
Clicking the Get Info button on the Finder palette works as described in the User’s Guide (page 19). However, if you select an alias and Option-click the Get Info button, the Finder shows an info window for the original item to which the alias points.
• Palette Editor: New Global checkbox
In the Palette Editor, you can use the new Global checkbox to toggle a palette between global and application-specific.
• OneClick maintains backup palette files
Each time OneClick opens a palette file, it makes a backup copy and stores the copy in the folder “OneClick Folder:Button Palettes:Backup:”.
If OneClick cannot open a palette file for some reason (such as file corruption due to a system crash), it renames the problem file to “Palette File Name (damaged)” and restores a working copy of the file from the Backup folder. If any changes were recently made to the damaged palette, those changes may be lost when OneClick restores the palette from the Backup folder. Move any "damaged" files to the Trash to delete them from your system.
• Linking palette files to an application’s creator type
Palette files may now be specified by the application’s creator type. Any application that is launched with the specified creator type will open with that palette file. (Use the format [type].)
For example, the palettes in file “SimpleText [ttro] Palette” will open when SimpleText is launched regardless of the file name of the SimpleText application. The creator tag can actually appear anywhere in the file name (if the creator tag is present, the file name is ignored).
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SOFTWARE
• FirstClass Client
In FirstClass Client, OneClick palettes don’t update properly if the FirstClass palette (the built-in palette, not a OneClick palette) is open on the screen. This is a problem in FirstClass which also affects Apple Guide, Control Strip, and other utilities that display system-level floating windows on the screen.
• FrameMaker 4
In FrameMaker 4, using Menu.Update in a scheduled script that runs very frequently may cause FrameMaker to behave erratically.
