That's where the general contextual menu items are. I didn't realise that you get different menu items depending on what's selected at the time (I guess that's what makes them 'contextual'). Anyhow, if I select some text in a word processor or some such, the contextual menus are quite different, and *those* are the ones I'm trying to track down and delete. Any thoughts? MST

Similarly, is there a way to find where contextual menus get their items from? I use SoHo Notes, which suits me pretty well, but it adds three irritating extra items to *all* contextual menus, and I'd love to get rid of them. MST

Those are per-app, and come from the application executable or the resources. Since SoHo Notes modifies every context menu, then it must be hooking the system call somehow. Does the installer leave a log to say what it did? Mind you, a cursory google shows that almost everyone hates SoHo Notes, with good reasons. Looks like they do more than hooking into the right-click... http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28977&page=3 Cheers - Jaimie -- "Power corrupts, but we need the electricity."

Possibly, but it's a long time since I installed it. (Recent upgrades offer features I actively don't want, and are expensive.) Where should I look? > Mind you, a cursory google shows that almost everyone hates SoHo > Notes, with good reasons. Looks like they do more than hooking into > the right-click... They do hate it, don't they? A pity, as I do like the Quick Note feature (a hot key lets me add a note from anywhere, at any time, even if the app isn't running) and the search menu in the menu bar. Does any other software offer this? MST |
