EasyFind 4.5 problems on Tiger PPC

I downloaded the new version, started it and while starting itself is not the problem, there is no search window. Tried to get one with menu and/or command n, but nothing.

The maybe helpful entries from the console.log (various attempts, quit & restarts, removed plist, evoking from Service menu, all such thing):

I was really happy to see that new version, would have been even happier to see the search window on the LCD of my Mac :wink: Anyway, I know it’s not easy to be Leo and Tiger friendly in a sort of renewed GUI design. And I don’t even know for sure, whether it’s the app or some problem on my system. If it’s a Tiger problem and would be too much effort to “Tiger-ize” it again, hey, sad, but I can work fine with the old version and it’s great to have such a great tool for free. So last but not least: a big Thank you!

There’s a link pertaining to your concern at MacUpdate:

macupdate.com/reviews.php?id … pid=247253

Unfortunately no fix is yet indicated as I write this…

Thanks for the heads up :slight_smile:

So it definitely looks like the revamped GUI has a Tiger problem. Poor big, old kitty…

I’ll piggyback this bug/request here:

Items under EasyFind’s Window menu have non-standard “Window” suffixes:

EasyFind - Window menu.png
Please standardize that menu, including moving Close Window to the File menu and doing any other relevant menu-related standardization (e.g. maybe adding a Help menu?). Thanks!

A patched release is online which is again compatible to Tiger (without a toolbar and without Quick Look of course). Just download the disk image again.

Now, how cool is that?! :smiley:

Downloaded, started, got a window ;D

And it works great, indeed. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:
