I’ve fortunately used MoofMenu from Lobotomo Software program on a sequence of Macs since OSX supplanted OS9 — I preferred MoofMenu’s recursive listings after I first noticed them, they usually stay very helpful. Now I’m tech help for my companion’s new Macs, and I’m challenged.
My companion’s first Mac was an iMac M1, now operating 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 operating Monterey and two MacBook Airs operating Massive Sur), and did as effectively on many different older Macs (now gone), going again to after I first got here throughout MoofMenu.
The problem is my companion’s different new Mac, an M4 MacBook Air 13″, additionally operating 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 screen, 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 an alternative, MoofMenu shows a shorter model of the dragged-folder’s contents. I believe I first noticed this truncated checklist after I put in MoofMenu of this MacBook Air, however I’m not positive. What I would like, in fact, is for MoofMenu to show all of the contents of the folder which I simply dragged to the MoofMenu Configure display screen, 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 recent MoofMenu from Lobotomo’s web site once more yields the identical undesirable habits. Apart from this concern, the MacBook Air behaves precisely because it ought to.
I emailed Lobotomo to ask about this, and haven’t obtained a response.
Would possibly there be a cache someplace that incorporates this undesirable information, and blocks or overwrites the stuff I wish to see? Is there another manipulation I’d carry out to rectify this?
Thanks for any assist or options you may provide.
