SABnzbd Forums

In versions 0.4.x a 'Light bold' would start lighting under the SAB-icon when starting the program.
This feature works like this for all programs running under OSX 10.6.4.

What i noticed is that this feature disapeared in SABnzbd+ v0.5.x. Because of this it's not clear wether the program is active or not. When it's active, it's not possible stopping it using the right-click option on the icon or stopping it via the 'Force stop' OSX function.
It looks like the SABnzb+ program doesn't register itself in the correct way to the OSX-platform.
Can anybody accnowladge this behaviour?

Hopefully somebody knows how to fix this problem.

Best regards,
Michel.

Hi,

Since 0.5.x, SABnzbd on OSX don't have dock icon anymore.
You have an menu icon (an arrow) in the menu bar. You can quit SABnzbd from this icon and many functions are available.
If you want to 'Force stop' (I don't see why ?), you can still use Activty Monitor and kill the SABnzbd process.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

The ' Force stop' example was merely to show that OSX doesn't 'see' the SABnzb program as being active.
If you use icons in the OSX-dock, all of them pop-up when started and have a lightbold when being active. The SABnzb (v0.4.x) icon followed this behaviour. The SABnzb (v0.5.x) doesn't follow this behaviour anymore.
The point that i'm trying to make is that when i restart my Mac and download some NZB's, i leave and when i return it turns out i needed to press the SABnzb button when leaving. This is costing preasious time wich shouldn't be nessesairy. Since SABnzb (v0.5.x) it's not clear anymore for me as OSX-user if the SABnzb program is active or not. This is the case with all other icons, as it was with the SABnzb (0.4.x). Maybe it's possible to re-impement this feature in SABnzb (v0.5.x). (Please?)
I'm greatfull for being able to make use of this tool and want to help to make it better. I'm also a donator of sabnzbd.org so i hope my donatons help to make life even better then it already is!
