I have to say something here. I struggled with date formats trying to make
them all -MM-DD and you are trying to do something different. I think
of the -mm-dd as real date. It is easily readable (as seconds aren't)
and sorts perfectly. It is not one of the defaults for system date on the
That approach should work fine -- I just tested it again on my system, and I
use this kind of thing all the time to build menus on the fly. Maybe you could
post your scripts so we could see what's going on?

One thing that I've often thought would make a lot of sense is to have an
array of starter projects, from Single window with menubar to splash
screen with multiple document windows etc. It seems like a small handful
of these would save a lot of beginners (and the rest of us!) a lot of time.
Is it true the crop command is not supported in the mobile environment or is
there a documentation error. I am hoping for documentation error. ;-)

When I got 4.6.4 I somehow never upgraded the Mac/Windows deployment

Hi Jacque,
The way this app works is that everything happens within the scope of one
stack. I have groups that get hidden or shown depending on what function
the user selects so I adjust the height of the stack depending on which
function/group is active by reference to the bottom of the group
Yes, that fixed it, thank you!
I searched the obvious places in the dictionary but couldn't find any
reference to this, maybe I'll add a user comment to the mouseDown entry.
I guess there are still a couple of issues I'll have to deal with.
There's more than one menu I have to dynamically
Yes, I believe the distinction is that these buttons are part of the
mechanism to put menus in the OS X system menu bar, not regular buttons.
Indeed, this is worth filing away. I have also entered a User Comment for
the mouseDown event in the dictionary.

Just did a small amount of reading on fifo (new stuff for me) looks like
theres a blocking mode and a non-blocking mode.

Thanks Mike. I think you're right about the blocking aspect of this. I

Thanks Jacque. I did try the short name of the target and it returned the
name of the menu bar group, as did the short name of me.
After looking at the logic of what I'm trying to do, I think there's
another place I can do the adjust the menu contents and drop the whole
mouseDown approach.
How do I get items other than Preferences into the OS X application menu?
