Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 16 Keywords: multifinder desk accessories I've been playing with multifinder for a few days now, and it's very nice. But the way it handles desk accessories is the pits. All desk accessories that look at keystroke events to alter what the underlying program actually gets are *BROKEN* under multifinder. This means that DAs such as SmartQuotes (which puts proper curly quotes into text--useful with Word) and MacLightning (real-time spell-checker) don't work any more. Apple, I know you hope DAs will go away given enough time, but this is the wrong way to do things. PLEASE give us back our desk accessories the way they used to be. Thank you for listening.
