Finderpop menu bar popup doesn't show files in right order
Hi,

I find that my FinderPop menu popup doesn't necessarily show the items in the right order. I've shortened the folder in case that was the problem, but it still doesn't order them correctly. See:

Am I doing this right? What might be the problem?

I run FinderPop 2.3.0 on my 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 gigs memory with latest MacOSX Snow Leopard 10.6.7.

I look forward to your response.

Hey Cris,

Please use FinderPop 2.3.2 beta, there've been many bugs fixed since 2.3.0.

I'm not at my Mac right now, but in the FinderPop 'Appearance' pane there is a popup which tells FinderPop to use a specific sort order when displaying its menus. Make sure it's set to Alphabetic, and not any of the other options.

Was the BDI Alias disk image mounted at any point? It might be that FP thinks it's a disk and so puts it first (assuming you had the sort order set to something other than Alphabetic.)

You can probably get rid of the word 'alias' which suffixes all your aliases, too :-)
If you want to know that something is an alias, 2.3.2 has an "Italicise Aliases" checkbox...

Let me know if these suggestions don't fix matters. I may be delayed in responding because I'll be in Chicago for work this week (7000 km from my Mac!)
