- OpenIt's current directory will now be saved to the preferences so it will remain the same even after you reboot. Note that this folder will not stay the same if the volume cannot be found or if your volume load ordering changes.
- Miscellaneous modifications like if the resources cannot be opened, the user will be notified with a dialog.
• About This Strip:
What is it?
This is a Control Strip module who's strip icon is pictured above. To use, simply put it into the Control Strip Modules folder and restart. If you do not have a Control Strip Modules folder (located in the root of your System folder) then you probably do not have the Control Strip control panel installed. Apple does not permit me to distribute Control Strip to other people (probably since it comes with System 7.5.) Desktop Macs can use Control Strip by modifying it with the Control Strip Patcher program that is widely available online (and on Skidperfect's www page listed above.)
Features:
• Clicking on the Strip icon will display a "get anything" dialog box. Selecting an item with the checkbox off will open it from the Finder. With the checkbox on the file/folder will be opened in the front application.
• OpenIt! Strip keeps its own current directory separate of other applications'. To use the front application's current directory, hold down the shift key while clicking on the Strip icon.
• To open OpenIt! Strip's current directory in the Finder, hold down the command() key while clicking on the Strip icon. To open the front application's current directory, hold down the command + shift keys while clicking on the Strip icon.
• Tips: OpenIt! Strip actually opens applications, background applications, and DA's by itself without telling the Finder. This means that you can launch things without the Finder running! This also means that you can launch faceless background applications all by yourself without restarting (they belong in Extensions folder and are of type 'appe'.)
