Ok, so I started again, did your steps:

1. Create a new mainstack
2. Open the Menu Builder on the Edit menu
3. Click the New button
4. Click the OK button
5. Select the Set as Menubar on Mac OS checkbox
6. Close the Menu Builder
7. Choose the Browse tool
8. Click on the new stack


And this one appears to move the said items, however, now I can't get the stack to behave like a MacOS X menu. When I do this the menu appears across the top of the stack window. I click the "Set as Menu Bar on Mac OS" check box, the menu in the stack disappears. I then save the stack, close it and re-open it. Bang! The menu bar is back across the top of the stack window! I open the menu builder again, the MenuBar Group box contains nothing and I have to select it via the edit button. When I do this, the MacOS X check box is off again. Tried this a couple of times and got fed up!

What Gives? Why is this SUCH a difficult thing to do in RunRev? I don't know any other environment where this is SUCH a big deal, I could have done this 100 times over in C or even PowerPC assembler!

Getting to the end of a long day and I have to get this working tonight! I really don't want to have to tell my boss that I can't do this in RunRev and that the support it so bad that you can't even get someone to look at it!

All the Best

Hi,

I've tried all that! Still doesn't work.

If I create a new menu from the menu builder in a new stack all is fine, but I can't make the one I have now work correctly. I have checked the spelling, but anyway it must be correct since I get the warning dialog if I change it to something other than "Preferences" or "Preferences...".

As far as I can tell there are no spurious characters after the last line of the items list, also the warning dialog tends to support this.

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave

The thing that gets my goat is the if I change the prefrences menu item to "PreferencesXXX", a dialog appears tell me that this item will not not be moved to the Application menu! What a Croc! It doesnt get moved anyway!!!

As a troubleshooting aid, try this:

1. Create a new mainstack
2. Open the Menu Builder on the Edit menu
3. Click the New button
4. Click the OK button
5. Select the Set as Menubar on Mac OS checkbox
6. Close the Menu Builder
7. Choose the Browse tool
8. Click on the new stack

At this point the menus should change to the minimum set created with the Menu Builder. Check the Revolution menu to see if the Preferences... item is there. If all is well it should be. Check the Edit menu to see if the Preferences item is there. If all is well it shouldn't be.

If the default menu created by the Menu Builder worked, then try to figure out what is different between the menu it created and the one that isn't working. As possibilities, consider: is Preferences spelled exactly the same (copy and paste it to be sure); is Preferences the last item on the menu; is there a stray return character after it.

If the default menu created by the Menu Builder didn't work, consider reinstalling Revolution, or try on a different computer.

regards,

Geoff
