Fixed a bug introduced in version 1.5 that would prevent the search mode pre-configuration from working on some Macs.
Fixed a bug from version 1.5.1 that would not properly enable the "Register" menu item.
1.5.1 - March 17 1999
Sherlock Menu will now correctly pre-configure Sherlock to use a specific search mode on computers with multiple System folders or similar setups.
If the Sherlock application was renamed Sherlock Menu will attempt to identify it by its location in the Apple Menu.
NOTE: If Sherlock was moved OUT of the Apple Menu AND renamed then Sherlock Menu will not be able to locate it. Sorry I cant support every single possible configuration in existance, this is about all I can do at this point.
Added a bit more error handling for the new pre-configuration features just in case.
Modified Sherlock Menu to allow easier localization in the future by storing critical text data in resources in the Sherlock Menu file.
NOTE: Sherlock Menu may not work with "Sherlock" in Mac OS 8.6 which is in beta testing right now. Sherlock Menu will be updated to be compatible with Mac OS 8.6 as soon as it is made available to the general public.
1.5 - March 12 1999
Sherlock Menu will now let you pre-select the searching mode in Sherlock, before it is actually launched. Thus you can specify "Find File", "Find by Content" or "Search Internet" before you even get to Sherlock.
Sherlock Menu will now remove the "Register" menu item if you select it at some point.
1.1.1 - Feb. 25 1999
Sherlock Menu now checks to see if the application it found is really "Sherlock" since Apple used the same file type/creator codes as with "Find File" (not my fault!) which is how the app is located.
Sherlock Menu now has its Bundle Bit set so its icon should show up properly in the Finder and Extensions Manager windows. Dunno why that was undone, blame it on ResEdit.
If Sherlock Menu is loaded on a pre-Mac OS 8.5 system you should see the normal icon with a red X through it, Sherlock Menu itself will not load.
1.1 - Feb. 21 1999
Sherlock Menu is now entirely PowerPC™ native. Thus it must be used only on a Power Macintosh or PowerPC™ upgraded Mac running Mac OS 8.5 or newer. Sherlock is only included in Mac OS 8.5 and newer and is the first OS release to not support any legacy systems (680x0) so this should not be a problem.
Reorganized Sherlock Menu to transition to the newer format to be introduced in a future version and to help eliminate "accidental" accesses of the "About" or "Register" web pages.
Sherlock Menu will now check to see if Sherlock is already opened, and if it is bring it to foreground instead of attempting to launch it.
If there is not enough RAM to launch Sherlock, Sherlock Menu will attempt to re-launch it using the minimum memory setting.
