=Thank you=
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 ==
I can't open Not sure if this is feasible, but it would be fantastic if you could do things through the archive—StuffIt Expander 10 stalls approximately 95% through and doesnprogram, e.g. poke specified people. Or if that wasn't start againpossible, and StuffIt Expander 11 returns an error.

== Friends opting out of Terms of Service and Update frequency ==I have three questions. FirstAlso, exactly what effect does it have when possibly a friend unchecks the Terms of Service boxQuicksilver plugin? Will FMenu not even that would be able to tell me when they poke or message me? Second, is there any way I can tell which friends have opted out of this? My third question is how frequent is "too frequent" for the update frequency? How frequently can I have it update without hitting the request limit? Thanks!:Here we go!:#If the friend unchecks this box, they are completely invisible to the programawesome. That means that anything about ''them'' is inaccessible, like their profile and their status. However, when they poke ''you'', this is still accessible, because it is ''your'' information that's retrieved to find out the number of current pokes. 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 is82. click on the arrow at the right of the text field in the Quicklaunch panel43. That lists all the friends that are available to you through the app <s>(in a random order, unfortunately)</s>, which are alphabetized by first name as of version 1144.5.:#This is essentially a guess-and-check process. As of version 1131|82.4, it appears that 7 seconds is in fact the most frequent update interval43.

== FMenu and Growl notifications ==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)

== Future Features QuickLaunch Cursor ==When using the QuickLaunch feature it would be amazing if when you 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 FMenu icon would be 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 possibilities. --[[User:Loudestnoise|Loudestnoise]] 17:14, 2 April 2007 (EDT):Hey there, the text box should now gain focus as soon as the QuickLaunch panel gets focus as of the latest version (2.5).

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.

I keep getting the same notifications over and over. I have moved my interval up to 30 seconds thinking it could have been cause by too frequent of an interval but I am continuing to see duplicate messages. It's a series of 5 or 6 messages, same messages each time.== Delayed sleep ==

The one that keeps repeating for me When I have FMenu running, there is "XXXX wrote a new note" 27-28 second delay between initiating sleep and "XXXX has updated her profile" It is always when the same person and I've looked at their profile and it doesn't look like it's changing to mesystem actually starts sleeping. --[[User:70The screen goes blank, but the mouse cursor remains on the screen.158After the delay it starts sleeping normally.150.128|70.158Without FMenu running, sleep is immediate.150.128]] 15:23, 13 February 2007 (EST)
I can verify the above problem. I have one friend that has consistently showed up as "XXXX has updated her profile" 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|146.151.11No messages in system or user logs.242]] 03:24, 14 February 2007 (EST)Here is my configuration:WowPB G4, I just started getting this myselfOS X 10.

== Solution Was checking little snitch activity, and FMenu is trying to your authentication problem communicate with the api.facebook.com, but then after some minutes the et services stops the connection.I have Facebook Notification installed aswell and one feature request ==that is working fine.
Use Apple Keychain
Why don't you use Apple's Keychain for the Username and Password of Facebook. When you start up the FMenu, you can get then the user/pass from the keychain and auto login. The user had to authorize the addition of the data to the keychain so you are perfectly valid in using that. This situation is what the keychain was designed for, just go ahead and use it.
:That is precisely what I plan on doing, I just to figure out how to code it. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 17:15, 14 February 2007 (EST)
Sparkle for updates:
The feature request I have is that you use the Sparkle framework for updates. That will allow us to not have to worry about updating and you'll get an auto-update engine for free.
Thanks,Aslam:Right, Sparkle requires an RSS feed with release info though, which is why it will take a bit to set upNOTE! A system restart made the login window appear and all works now. I do plan on implementing it though. [[User:Lensovet|lensovet]] 17:15, 14 February 2007 (EST)
