Message-ID: <125@qucis.UUCP> Date: Thu, 14-Nov-85 20:59:52 EST Article-I.D.: qucis.125 Posted: Thu Nov 14 20:59:52 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 14-Nov-85 06:35:55 EST Reply-To: cordy@qucis.UUCP (Jim Cordy) Organization: Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario Lines: 23 Keywords: Switch, MacDraw, bug Summary: MacDraw doesn't seem to work with Switch Some weeks ago a nice desk accessory called 'Switch' that allows applications other than the finder to be invoked when leaving an application was posted to the net. Since I have a Davong hard disk, and Switcher 4.4 won't work with it, I was looking forward to at last being able to switch more efficiently using this desk accessory, and I was more than delighted when it worked fine with several different applications. I had every intention of continuing to use it ... until I discovered that for some reason it doesn't work with MacDraw (which I normally want to switch with MacWrite frequently). The symptom is that after the Switch desk accessory is invoked from inside MacDraw, all menu headers are blanked out except File and Edit. In particular, the Switch menu is not there. This means you can't get out of MacDraw without rebooting (assuming that you 'Switch'ed into it). It's not clear to me whether this is a problem with Switch or with MacDraw, or just my version of MacDraw (it's old I know). Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is ther something I can do about it?
