I’ve fortunately used MoofMenu from Lobotomo Software program on a sequence of Macs since OSX supplanted OS9 — I preferred MoofMenu’s recursive listings once I first noticed them, they usually stay very helpful. Now I’m tech assist for my accomplice’s new Macs, and I’m challenged.
My accomplice’s first Mac was an iMac M1, now working macOS 15.6.1 and MoofMenu 1.9. On this machine, MoofMenu runs and behaves accurately, simply because it does on my present three Intel Macs (an iMac working Monterey and two MacBook Airs working Massive Sur), and did as properly on many different older Macs (now gone), going again to once I first got here throughout MoofMenu.
The problem is my accomplice’s different new Mac, an M4 MacBook Air 13″, additionally working macOS 15.6.1 and MoofMenu 1.9. On this machine, I can configure Moof Menu to carry and show the folders whose contents I want MoofMenu to checklist (that’s, I can drag folders from the Finder into the MoofMenu Configure display, and the newly-dragged folders will then seem within the Moof Menu checklist), however MoofMenu doesn’t thereafter show all of the contents of the newly-dragged folders. As a substitute, MoofMenu shows a shorter model of the dragged-folder’s contents. I believe I first noticed this truncated checklist once I put in MoofMenu of this MacBook Air, however I’m not certain. What I need, in fact, is for MoofMenu to show all of the contents of the folder which I simply dragged to the MoofMenu Configure display, in addition to the recursive particulars of no matter is inside that folder.
Restarting the MacBook Air has no impact on MoofMenu’s habits. Likewise, beginning the MacBook Air in Protected Mode additionally has no impact. Trashing MoofMenu, restarting, after which downloading a contemporary MoofMenu from Lobotomo’s web site once more yields the identical undesirable habits. Aside from this situation, the MacBook Air behaves precisely because it ought to.
I emailed Lobotomo to ask about this, and haven’t acquired a response.
May there be a cache someplace that incorporates this undesirable knowledge, and blocks or overwrites the stuff I need to see? Is there another manipulation I would carry out to rectify this?
Thanks for any assist or ideas you possibly can provide.
