Mac Forum / General / General / October 2008Contextual menu has "More" instead of just having things listed
I think I knew how to fix this once upon a time. I'd rather have everything in the "More" submenu be in the first level. http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/6471/cmscreenshotjh2.jpg  SignatureTim lance_1012@hotmail.com > I think I knew how to fix this once upon a time.

To the best of my knowledge there is no way to eliminate the extra level. On a quick search, it appears no participant at MacOSXHints has found a solution. Signature"Harry?"

What I think I remember was similar behavior caused by some extra/haxie I was using and was definitely on a pre-Leopard setup. That's not the case now as even on a SafeBoot/root startup it was present. SignatureTim lance_1012@hotmail.com > >> I think I knew how to fix this once upon a time.

As a developer of context menu plugins, I can't express to you how much joy I got last October to suddenly receive a bunch of messages telling me that my software didn't work under Leopard because the menu items had "disappeared."

If I think about it from *Apple's* perspective, however, I can certainly see why they might want to separate third party menu commands from the standard set of Apple commands.

Sure, but I would like the option. So it goes. SignatureTim lance_1012@hotmail.com > > > >> I think I knew how to fix this once upon a time.

And it even makes a bit of sense from the user perspective once they user gets educated. Seems to me, though, that Apple did a weaker-than-usual job of communicating changes up-front with Leopard. The first wave of upgraders got more surprises - I mean deliberate changes, not bugs - than I'd like to see as someone who gets turned to for support. Signature"Harry?"

But being a lazy SOB having to drag down then zig-zag (oh, those were the days) is such a significantly greater PITA than merely dragging down. At least I know I dont have to waste frustration until some makes a modifying utility or Apple gives us an option. Thanks for the info and insights, y'all.
