BeHierarchic 4.2 release notes:
Improvements and bug fixes over 4.1.1
- Speed improvements.
- Documentation is now built-in and with Balloon Help, it is more convenient for the new users. I hope it will help me to reduce customer support time to be able to focus on development.
- Maximum number of recent tracking has been increased from 63 to 255
- Using the Finder, you can now assign custom icons on the BeHierarchic recent server, recent applications, recent folders, recent items items of the Apple Menu. Their corresponding folders are in the "BeHierarchic" folder located in your System's Preferences folder.
- Compatibility with the classic environment under Mac OS X. Ignore this paragraph if you are not using Classic in Mac OS X.
BeHierarchic submenu appears clipped on Mac OS X. This is no longer the case.
As you have also experienced, Classic (on Mac OS X Public Beta) forces the usage of Apple Menu Options :-( But now BeHierarchic turns it OFF automatically. However, several user use BOTH BeHierarchic (for the Apple Menu) and Apple Menu Options (for the recent items). So I can't turn all off automatically, if you don't use Apple Menu Options at all, open Apple Menu Options control panel and uncheck 'Remember recently used Items'. If you get a warning BeHierarchic is not compatible with Apple Menu Options, just ignore it and turn OFF 'Warning at Startup' in BeHierarchic Control Panel.
- BeHierarchic 4.2 is now compatible with Glidel.
Glidel users should download Glidel 5.1.2 or later.
- Conflict with FaxSTF Pro and the Fax Assistant Menu in the Apple Menu.
You can now use FaxSTF Pro without changing the load order of BeHierarchic relative to STFInit.
- DeepLevel can now be turned off. Which may help in case of unresolved conflicts.
- Trying to display a folder containing more than about 1000 items crashed the System.
This is no longer the case, however there is a system (QuickDraw) limit of 1500 items to be displayed in a menu.
If BeHierarchic encounters such folder, it won't be displayed... I am looking forward to develop an alternative solution in a next major release.
- When swapping the entire Apple Menu with the Desktop item, you couldn't open anything from the Apple Menu. It works now as expected.
- BeHierarchic could not display submenus located in the Apple Menu of applications (e.g Photoshop 6.0) using the new API to attach a sub menu. This is fixed. (e.g. in Photoshop 6.0, you can access the About Plugins... sub menu)
- User of 'MagicPowerMenus' from the defunct Magic Software has to click twice to select a item in the Apple Menu.
The problem is in their code, but I created a very small utility providing this kind of feature: ClickMenus (in beta test, available upon request), so you can get rid of MagicPowerMenus to solve the problem.
- On Mac OS 8.1 only, trying to display a small icon for a file without creator and type crashed the System.
- On Mac OS 8.1 only, when memory was low, part of the desktop might not be restored properly after hierarchical menu selection.
BeHierarchic 3.1
BeHierarchic 3.1 continue to be supported for Macintoshes running Mac OS 7.0 up to Mac OS 8.1
If you have any older version of BeHierarchic, I recommend that you download this version because it fixes bugs.
A minor upgrade, BeHierarchic 3.1.1 has been made available to enable DeepLevel for MacOS 7.6, 8.0 and 8.1 on the new G3, Powerbook G3 and iMac.
If DeepLevel works fine on your system, you can skip this upgrade.
