------------------ 0. Notes About This Release
This application is mostly a "beta" for Mac OS X Beta. It should work, but there are many issues and bugs with Mac OS X Beta and the way it draws controls, etc. Here's a list of things we noticed about it that you might see. Please do not report these problems:
a. Funky redraw issues - sometimes "ghost" buttons will appear in the wrong place in a dialog. These are not our problems, but problems in PowerPlant and/or Carbon. Hopefully this will get better in time, as they mature in releases past OSX PB. The OSX PB is much better than it used to be, take our word for it. We can live with these little discrepancies for now.
b. Speech - using the "Speak" text in the EggTimer dialog does not work, do we disabled the option. It should come back later.
c. Lots of menus are disabled - these are things that we have not yet finished porting to Mac OS X yet, or are things that will never be ported because they are irrelevant in that world.
d. Process manager information dialogs show weird values - we're not sure what the cause of this, be we're sure that it should work -- this exact same code runs and works great on 9. Hopefully it's a "beta" glitch on OS X's part.
e. Picture Viewer - does not function yet, even though you might be able to bring up the dialog.
f. The Contextual Menu Plug-Ins are not compatible with Mac OS X.
Well, that's the short list. The Value Converter works great, and we personally can't use OS X well without the File Changer and File Finder dialogs. Please send your feedback and suggestions on what we could do better in the product. Thanks for trying it out.
------------------ I. Introduction
Thanks for checking out MacArmyKnife (MAK)! MAK is a project that is on an evolutionary path. It is meant to be a "catch all" for mini-utilities and things that other apps don't do. You might find something to help out users, developers, and everyone under the sun. So launch the app, and see what it can do for you! If you find it has something of your liking, then please don't forget it's shareware. If it doesn't have anything you need, then check back in a future rev, as we might have added something you need. If there is some utility-esque function that you think it's crying out for, please send us your suggestion. We can't guarantee it'll be implemented, but it can't hurt to ask!
MAK Requirements: MacOS X Public Beta, or MacOS 9 or later.
