Hi there, I seem to have trouble getting the Extensions 'JustClick' and 'SwitchApp' to work with FileSharing On. Is there fundamental problem that can not be solved or is it that no one has noticed this before. The problem is that I can click the little ICON in the top right hand coner of the screen and get the old style application change, but as soon as it hits the Finder it stops. (It can be 'cured' by switching off file sharing, but this doesn't help much at work :-() Any ideas ?

I noticed something similar with !MultiFinder (another INIT that does something like this), and tracked it down to improper error handling in calls to the Process Manager. It's possible that Just Click is having the same problem. I'm not sure if this is a bona-fide workaround or not, but it seems that if I cycle through all my open apps via the Process menu first, Just Click will then work. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.

I noticed that the recently posted "Switch INIT" just had a second release (1.0.1) via comp.binaries.macintosh. My quick perusal of the release notes showed a comment to the effect that it now works when File Sharing is on. Looks like someone else spotted this too :) Can we expect Dean to release an update?
