Floating Menu Alpha Development Thread

unfortunately if that happens,it’s caused by a macOS bug where macOS „forgets“ about the already granted permissions. This usually happens if the tcc database has been corrupted. Sometimes macOS can repair that itself, sometimes not.

However I haven’t seen this in a long time, how often did this happen?

3 times this week.

This week I could imagine macOS also got confused by the huge number of updates if you are on the alpha channel. As the tcc.db must somehow store the code signature or something similar, maybe BTT constantly being overriden by some update caused this.
Maybe best to wait and see whether this resolves automatically.

Otherwise I can post instructions on how to repair the tcc.db, but it is a really complicated process.

Doesn't annoy me very much, if this continues I'll let you know !
Thanks!

After upgrading to BTT 4.145 (2359) - floating menu stop working. Even your example "ScriptExamples.bttpreset" looks like attached screenshot


What is strange, "NotchMenu.bttpreset" works without problem.

Strange... computer reboot was not helping with above problem. But few hours of sleep helped. And in the morning menu start to work without any additional steps...

Weird, it didn't render any backgrounds for you?
What machine are you running on? (could be related to graphics hardware)

MacBook Pro 16 inch with M2Max (maxed out configuration)

Other bug:
When menu has the following settings in "Position On Screen":
Specific Position On Screen
Position The Menu's: Center
At The: Focusad Screen's / Center

and menu is activated by Trackpad TipTap Left gesture

Then sometimes menu appears in upper right corner. The rest of uses it is properly shown in the center of the screen.

Did you see any specific scenario where this happens? (Can't reproduce so far)

The only I've noticed so far is when I'm trying to use gesture first time after not using it for few hours. Next uses works OK. I will try to look deeper about possibility to reproduce this bug.

I think I was able to reproduce & fix this in 4.147

Also item scripts for standard and webview items can now directly return new text or html and don't need to wrap it into JSON if they don't want to update any other property.

Problem updating BTT

Clicked the Check for Alpha Version.. Button

Showed me that there's a new update, Clicked install
BTT retarted without asking me to confirm the install or showing the download progress as usual.

And When I click the Check for Alpha Version.. Button again, It does nothing.

there was an issue in the previous build that mixed up the release notes display when checking for updates manually. Should be fixed for the next one.

You are now on the latest (4.149)

It works now,


Before, it was showing the download progress... Now it doesn't
Is it because I activated Auto updates for the Alpha channel?

I also think I'm in a BTT update loop

Been getting this same update, Install & Relaunch.
I click Ther check for Alpha updates button, I get nothing in the first few tires, then I get the same update version.

I don't get a message that that's the latest available version.

Problem goes back. It looks like BTT is switching to some kind of "debug" mode. Instead of full menu rendering it renders just menu items' names in the place of items.

Only problem, there is no debug mode :smiley:

Very weird, I haven't had similar reports yet. Maybe some edge case item that breaks the rendering of the whole menu? Do you have any scripts running?

This is why I wrote: some kind of "debug" mode - as it renders item names instead of items.
I have no scripts running and this behavior concern not only my menu, but the same is with your original "ScriptExamples.bttpreset" (I was showing screenshot before). But "NotchMenu.bttpreset" is at the same time properly rendered. Restarting BTT doesn't solve the problem. Upgrading to v. 4.150 (2364) too.

which exact macOS version are you currently running?
Would be great if you could go to the BTT configuration, Help -> export diagnostic debug info and send the result to me (andreas@folivora.ai)
