Menu Extra

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode

I tried to look at jonn8’s example for doing a menu extra (MenuApp), but it only crashes and doesn’t do anything. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

It’s not a menu extra and while it may crash (which I’ve documented ad nauseam), it does do something. I am often put off by the manner in which people ask for help, and your posts often keep me from offering the help you need.

I actually have solved all of the issues in that project (though I haven’t updated the project itself). You can see the results of this in my application Finder Window Manager. In bits and pieces I have presented the solutions for the problems in that project through the posts in this forum. At some point, maybe I’ll get around to actually updating the project itself.

A functional, pared down version of the MenuApp project for Mac OS X 10.3+ only can be downloaded from:

This project could be easily adapted for Mac OS X 10.2 by making another Objective-C to AS bridge for creating the menu items and attaching their actions. Mac OS X 10.3 allows you to simply assign a script to a new menu item via AppleScript making it much easier to create a status menu application.

I also have been looking for ways to make a menu item. Thanks to you, I finally get the chance do complete it.

Thank You Jonathan. :slight_smile:

You’ve been very helpful in the past, and while I know how exhausting it can be to always answer questions from people who are too lazy to search, I admire your endurance.

Thanks again. :slight_smile:
