The QC menu properly loads, but after using the QC menu or the hot key to bring up Quick Find, it takes 5-15 seconds after typing before results appear. Spinning beach ball too. However, after the machine has been running 30 minutes or so, if I try again, the delay is gone and results are immediate. After a restart, again the delay.
Do you know what the permissions should be under Leopard? I'd be interested to see if they could be corrected manually and thereby get QC and QD to work.
In the terminal, type:
Code:
sudo chmod 755 /Library/InputManagers/
sudo chmod -R 755 "/Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler"
sudo chown -R root:admin "/Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler"
After that, reboot to make sure those changes take effect.

What I don't understand is why this beta works on one computer but does not work on another identical iMac.
Yeah, that's got us stumped too. Something is different. It could even be a permissions difference. It's probably something small and seemingly insignificant. I'm going to do investigation on a wider group of computers and see if we can reproduce the problem.
Hi there.. Not sure if there is a second beta out yet, but here are a few issues i've found since installing:
1. Address Book Sync 1.0 doesn't seem to be working with 5.3.2. I have about 5000 contacts and it gives me an error that the string is too long and then quits.
2. While QC does appear it doesn't seem that functional.. Now I just get the beach ball when trying to use it and it slows down my entire computer. Also when I first installed it it allowed to complete just 1 "find contact". After that it was inoperable.
I'm running this on a MacBook Pro, Core 2 duo, 10.5.1 Leopard
Let me know if anyone's found any solutions.. Where can we find updates to the beta?
3. Install NUDC 5.3.2b1 (this installs a new Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler)
I don't understand this, unsanity, the makers of Menu Extra Enabler, says that MEE does not work in 10.5.X. Why are you having your software install other software that is known not to work?

Well, I removed MEE from my system before upgrading, since I'd always expected that from any Unsanity product.
And yet, many people have been reporting that it's always worked fine for them. And others that it "started working" after initial difficulties.
And the 1.0.3 installed by 5.3.2b1 on my system is in fact working just as it should. If Unsanity still lists it as a problem, there may be some subtle issue; but it doesn't seem to be impacting NOW's use of it. At least on my system...
Nor, unlike APE, have I heard any reports at all of any ill effects from running MEE; at worst, it just doesn't work.
So I don't see any issue with NOW including it. I just wish the servers worked, because I can live without the menu icons but the lack of servers is a headache.

When Leopard came out, I corresponded directly with the author of MEE and was told the following:
Quote:
The current version actually works [with Leopard]. It just needs to have special perms...[rules omitted]...As long as MEE follows those rules, it works great.
I'm not sure why their website hasn't been updated to reflect the above. I've got an email into them to make sure that what they told me when Leopard was released is still valid.
