Update Installation

If you are updating from an earlier version of OtherMenu, here is how to proceed:

1. Open the Extensions folder, and drag the old copies of OtherMenu and OtherMenu AE Helper to the trash.  You may also want to trash your OtherMenu Preferences file if you want to ensure that you have all the default settings for the new version, but this is not required.  (Don’t try to empty the trash yet.)

2. Move the new OtherMenu extension into the Extensions folder.

3. Drag the new Externals folder into your existing OtherMenu Folder.  (Externals that came with previous versions of OtherMenu may not be compatible with OtherMenu 2.0.)  Set aside your old copy of Paste Clips, if you want to import its clippings into the new version.

4. Restart your Mac.  If you are updating from a version that used OtherMenu AE Helper, be aware that Extensions Manager will probably warn you about a missing extension.  (You may now empty the trash.)

5. If you did not trash your old OtherMenu Preferences file, check your preferences now.  In particular, you may need to manually turn on menu icons.

6. Open the configuration dialog of the new Paste Clips, click the Import button, and choose your old copy of Paste Clips in the directory dialog.
