- This document answers some of the most commonly asked technical
- support questions about On Cue and includes two patches that
- may interest you.
-
- 1) When I get a new version of On Cue, how can I update my
- carefully crafted menu configuration?
-
- There are two ways to update from On Cue 1.0 to On Cue 1.3.
-
- The first way is to drag On Cue 1.3 into your System folder,
- and drag On Cue 1.0 from your System folder into the trash.
- THEN RESTART. (You should not try to use On Cue 1.0 after
- you threw it away, so you should restart your machine.)
- Now use 'Preferences...' and 'Configure...' to set up
- On Cue 1.3 for your preferences and application/document
- menu configuration. You are now done updating.
-
- The second way of updating is a bit more technical, but will
- save you some time! Copy On Cue 1.3 to your System Folder.
- Use ResEdit and transfer the resources 'MENU', 'scoD', and
- 'Appl' from On Cue 1.0 to On Cue 1.3. This transfers your
- menu configurations to your new copy of On Cue. Then drag
- On Cue 1.0 to the trash. THEN RESTART. Now set the
- preferences the way you like them. You are now done updating.
-
- Yes, this IS a hassle and WILL be corrected in the next version!
-
-
- 2) Why can't I open a document into an already open application?
-
- On Cue 1.3 WILL open a document into an already open
- application (as can be done by newer versions of MultiFinder),
- whether you are using MultiFinder or not. This is accomplished
- by selecting the document name from the On Cue menu while
- pressing the command key. Some applications such as
- MacWrite 4.6 do not allow you to open more than one document
- at a time, and you may have to close the current document
- before opening another one.
-
- If you are comfortable using a file editor like Fedit, you can
- patch On Cue so that you don't have to hold down the command key
- to do this. (Thereafter, hold down the command key if you want to
- "force" a relaunch of the application and document).
-
- Find the three instances of : 017A67
- and replace them with : 017A66
-
-
- 3) How do I launch a document even if I don't have a document menu
- attached to the application in the On Cue Menu?
-
- If you have an application that does not have attached documents
- in your On Cue menu, you can still get to choose a document
- using the standard file package (just like "Other..." for
- applicaitons which do have attached documents). Simply hold
- down the option key when you choose the application.
-
-
- 4) What if every time I do an On Cue launch from a certain
- application, I wind up back in the Finder?
-
- On Cue contains a routine which will abort the On Cue launch
- if 'Cancel' is choosen from an applications "Save Changes" dialog.
- This routine is being fooled by MacNet (the only one we know
- about at this time), such that the launch is aborted and the
- application quits to the Finder.
-
- If needed, you can disable this routine with the following patch.
-
- Find the one instance of : 6700 FEC2
- and replace it with : 6000 FEC2
-
-
- We hope this helps!
