Not a bug report (though mine's been [[#Random_Quitting.3F|disappearing]] too occasionally), but I want to thank you for this fantastic app. Now I can be sure to be distracted by Facebook at any time of day, without even opening my browser! Facebook really will cost me my degree!
Feel free to remove this; I just wanted to say thanks! [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smiler_jerg smiler] 08:16, 11 May 2007 (BST)
:Thanks for the kind words. I really wish the crashes would stop, but I will integrate infinite sessions into the next release so that at least it won't be necessary to log into the app each time you start it up. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 03:36, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

== Problem with ZIP archive? Future Features == Not sure if this is feasible, but it would be fantastic if you could do things through the program, e.g. poke specified people. Or if that wasn't possible, it should be fairly easy to link to the relevant page - the /poke.php? bit makes that easy, right? Just a thought. --[[User:82.43.144.131|82.43.144.131]] 18:48, 12 February 2007 (EST):This is definitely doable.

== Friends opting out of Terms of Service and Update frequency ==I'd love to see the ability for the app to update our status with what we are currently listening to in iTunes. Not sure if this is technically possible but would be really cool to see implemented! [[User:99.237.4.226|99.237.4.226]] 14:46, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
* I have three questions. First, exactly what effect does it have when a friend unchecks the Terms of Service box? Will FMenu not even would like to be able to tell me when they poke or message me? Second, is there any way choose which notifications I can tell which friends have opted out of this? My third question is how frequent is "too frequent" receive.. for the update frequency? How frequently can example I have it update without hitting the request limit? Thanks!:Here we go!:#If the friend unchecks this box, they are completely invisible don't want to the program. That means that anything about ''them'' is inaccessible, like their see profile and their statusupdates. However, when they poke ''you'', If this is still accessiblealready a feature, because it is I can''your'' information that's retrieved to t find out the number of current pokesit. So anything they do to you is available, because your info is retrieved, but anything they do to their profiles is not.[--[[User:#Yes, there is97. click on the arrow at the right of the text field in the Quicklaunch panel87.

== FMenu and Growl notifications Updating status ==
Great appIt would be cool if you could update your own status using this program.:<s>This would indeed be very cool, but unfortunately implementing such functionality is at this time against the Facebook API's [http://developers.facebook.com/tos.php Terms of Service].

1. It == QuickLaunch Cursor == When using the QuickLaunch feature it would be nice amazing if when you could either click on the menu item, or use the keyboard shortcut that the cursor appears within the text box. Reducing the use of the mouse or trackpad is always a nice thing. Additionally the ability to launch QuickLaunch without having to click on the Growl notifications and FMenu icon would be taken amazing. If I could set a global OS X shortcut to do this or something. My life would be complete. Or perhaps some kind of quicksilver intergration with the QuickLaunch feature. Oh the relevant pagepossibilities. --[[User:Loudestnoise|Loudestnoise]] 17:14, 2 April 2007 (EDT):Hey there, ethe text box should now gain focus as soon as the QuickLaunch panel gets focus as of the latest version (2.g5). if my friend updates I'm still looking at implementing a status and I clicksystem-wide shortcut for getting Quicklaunch to appear, it goes to her page or if someone posts on however. Hopefully in the wallnext version :) [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 01:49, it takes me there.5 July 2007 (EDT)
2. The menu icon should also indicate whether people have posted or not. Perhaps by colour or counter== Status Updates with Profile Pictures?:#Thanks! The first one is definitely something I will be looking into, hopefully soon.:#As for the second one, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. What do you mean by "whether people have posted"? Posted what? Wall posts? Please clarify...thanks again! [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 14:47, 11 February 2007 (EST)Basically, I think the Fmenu icon should have status indications. So if someone posts on your wall, it would be nice to have a number or something appear by or on the icon to let you know.==
== Future Features ==So, obviously, Growl shows the FMenu app icon in the notification. Would it be possible to change that icon (in the Growl notification) to the Facebook profile picture of the person the notification is referring to? This wouldn't apply in all situations, but it would work amazingly well for status updates. (Can you tell I'm a Twitteriffic user?) Also, personally, I don't care much for the "now" that is inserted in the status update messages. I think it throws off the flow of some updates, since people don't expect it to be there. But seriously, this is an amazingly great app, and it's head-and-shoulders above the other amateur-ish work that's being done with the Facebook API. Thanks.

I've just checked in a change that allows you to choose the phrase inserted into status update messages [http://fmenu.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fmenu/GNotifier.mm?r1=47&r2=46&pathrev=47 to be anything you want].:As for your other suggestion, it's definitely doable, but I think I'll hold off that for a bit.

Also, possibly a Quicksilver plugin? that would be awesome. Hi --[[User:82.43.144.131|82I posted this over on the Facebook FMenu Users page, sorry for the reposting, but it's unclear where bug reports should go.43.144.131]] 04:45, 13 February 2007 (EST)
When I have FMenu running, there is a 27-28 second delay between initiating sleep and when the system actually starts sleeping. The screen goes blank, but the mouse cursor remains on the screen. After the delay it starts sleeping normally. Without FMenu running, sleep is immediate.
How about auto updates? I'm pretty sure theres a cocoa plugin which helps with that (AdiumNo messages in system or user logs. Here is my configuration: PB G4, cyberduck and others use it) --[[User:212OS X 10.854.2011, FMenu 3.100|212.850, Growl 1.201.100]] 04:14, 14 February 2007 (EST)4
== Duplicate notifications Bug 3.1 ==
I keep getting As of 10th June 2010, roughly, launching FMenu 3.1 via login items or through normal launch causes the application to hang.The icon is grey and the same notifications over QuickLaunch bar appears.Sometimes this flashes constantly and overthen dies after 5 minutes or so.Activity monitor on Intel says nothing is wrong, but G5 says that application is not responding. I have moved my interval up to 30 seconds thinking it could have been cause by too frequent of an interval tried deleting the pref and the application and reinstalling, but I am continuing to see duplicate messagesnothing improves. It's a series of 5 or 6 messages, same messages each timeThis also has an issue on my G5 Mac.
I have the exact same problem Was checking little snitch activity, and it FMenu is trying to communicate with the same two updates from the same exact personapi. --[[User:70facebook.158.150.128|70.158com, but then after some minutes the et services stops the connection.150.128]] 15:24, 13 February 2007 (EST):If the update you're getting I have Facebook Notification installed aswell and that is "XXX has updated his profile", that means that they are actually updating their profile that frequently.

The one that keeps repeating for me is "XXXX wrote a new note" and "XXXX has updated her profile" It is always the same person and I've looked at their profile and it doesn't look like it's changing to me. --[[User:70.158.150.128|70.158.150.128]] 15:23, 13 February 2007 (EST)
I can verify NOTE! A system restart made the above problem. I have one friend that has consistently showed up as "XXXX has updated her profile" login window appear and "XXXX wrote a new note." They show side by side, often with any other events from other friends. Its been showing up nonstop since I downloaded it two days ago. She only has one note from last year, so she hasn't written a new note every 5 minutes over the last two days. --[[User:146.151.11.242|146.151.11all works now.242]] 03:24, 14 February 2007 (EST)
