SUPPORT : Super Get Info : Archived Release Notes : Super Get Info 1.2 Release Notes
This page documents all feature enhancements and bug fixes included in the Super Get Info 1.2 update.
Additions/Enhancements
Super Get Info now requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later (10.2.6 or later strongly recommended).
The "Comments" tab of the info window has been renamed to "Finder". In addition to being able to view and edit the Finder Comments for the current item, you can now also set its Finder label.
When running on Mac OS X 10.3 or later there is a checkbox in the Open dialog to control whether aliases are resolved when opening files.
The copy path to clipboard button is now a hybrid button. Clicking on the button copies the POSIX path to the clipboard (this was the previous behavior). Clicking and holding will drop down a menu which gives you the choice to copy the POSIX or HFS path to the clipboard.
There is a new command in the file menu - "Open by Catalog Info". You can open a file given its catalog info (vRefNum, dirID, name). If you omit the name, it will open the folder represented by vRefNum and dirID. This may be useful to developers debugging HFS code which traverses the file system.
There is a new command in the View menu - "Show Catalog Info." This opens up a drawer which displays a subset of the catalog info (which may be useful to developers debugging HFS code which traverses the filesystem).
There is a new preference for whether to allow multiple rows when arranging info windows. You may want to turn this on if your screen geometry is such that the new arranging algorithm will tile windows on the screen but only have enough room in each stack to "cascade" only one window. When using a single row there is always room to cascade windows.
When arranging windows on the screen, if we are arranging in multiple rows and there is only room in each stack to "cascade" a single window we don't always stack newly opened windows from the top left. This makes much less frequent the situation where when you open windows one at a time or in pairs that the end up stacked atop each other in the top left, completely obscuring the previously opened windows.
The factory defaults for Type and Creator Favorites now includes an entry for TextWrangler. This is only picked up for new preference files.
Fixes
SGI can change the permissions of files which have the uappnd flag set. If such a file is in the trash can, SGI can now do an Empty Trash.
Reworked the user and groups popups. Open Directory users/groups should now appear on the popup and be usable for setting ownership.
Open Hidden works on Mac OS X 10.3.
The type and creator fields no longer allow non-MacRoman input.
Fixed a bug where the version number for flat file CFM applications would sometimes be reported incorrectly.
Fixed a timing sensitive bug which could prevent Super Get Info Helper from being relaunched at application startup.
The command line tool now reports "no such file or directory" errors.
Corrected a bug in the Super Get Info Helper where the empty trash keystroke would fail with error -9875 if Super Get Info was already running.
Corrected a bug where if you closed the info window immediately (and quickly) after using the type and creator favorite popup the application would crash.
The type and creator favorite popup now draws disabled if the control is in fact disabled.
