Actually, the Help menu must meet two criteria: for Windows it needs to be the right-most menu since that's where folks expect to find it, but for Mac is must be the last item in your menu group since the engine builds the Mac menu bar from menu contents according to their later order within the group.
Sorry to be dumb but I don't quite understand this sentence - what's the difference between 'right-most' and 'last in group' - could a menu be one and not the other?
If you were being "clever" like I was once, you might clone a menu within your group to make a new one, and wind up with something like this:
File Edit View Help
...but the layer order might be:
1. File 2. Edit 4. View 3. Help
In such a case the engine will put them into the Mac menu bar as:
File Edit Help View Help
..since OS X always has a Help menu as the last one.
I was going to add my notes there, but I couldn't find the section you refer to. Where's the best place for me to add them?
The only reference I could find was in Topics/Menus, where there is a question:
How do I respond to quitting an OS X application?
In truth this does not cover the topic of menu items being moved around automagically without the developer really being able to intervene, so we need a new topic - which perhaps contains the existing one - called something like:
How do I make sure my menus operate correctly under OSX?
I'll drop it in the first one for now, and agree that it would be good to see the latter some time. Thanks.
