Marcelo Campiglia's reply to "Can't Connect to Vimeo" was just promoted to the most useful! Douglas Neiner and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

I have send a tweet to Ego and they tweeted me back with the solution. "You enter your username, which is your Shortcut URL (vimeo.com/HERE) or user ID value. If you haven't yet, set your Shortcut URL" It works great, problem solved. I hope this help you guys. Thanks ;)

Can't Connect to Vimeo

I am unable to get anything to show up for my Vimeo account. All I get is "Error". It asks for "username" but when I log into Vimeo's site, it asks for my email. I have tried entering all different combinations, and can't get it to work.

As a developer, I understand your decision... as a Mac user, however, seamless integration with the system is important. The more Mac-like applications are, the more likely I am to continue to use them.

I just installed Timepost, and I have the same problem. I can barely read the time on the menu bar. Glad to know this is a problem and not how it was designed!

Thats kinda funny... it actually works how I think Apple Mail and iTunes *SHOULD* work. I mean, when I cmd+tab to an application, obviously I want its main window open again. When I close down other apps and the SSB is suddenly active again... not so much. :(

I am so happy the new feature works with Expose now... no more funny invisible boxes! :)

Thanks Todd!

Both CMD+W and clicking the red X have the same effect on my machine. If only I could figure out what gets triggered when the dock icon is clicked while the app is still active, but the window is "closed/hidden." Another good thing about this method is the application remains in the same tab order as before the red x was clicked or CMD+W was used.

Hope this helps. I copied the AppController.h and .m files up to pastie so you could see.

Yes!!! I just got it working! I must have typed something wrong because when I copied the applicationShouldHandleReopen from the NSApplication header file, it all started working. I implemented this in an AppController class that I set as the File's Owner delegate and the Window's delegate.

You can see my code here: http://pastie.caboo.se/209030

The total solution I found by scouring some message boards and a "For Dummies" site that had an article on hiding windows, then piecing it all together. Let us know how you make out!

Todd,

I am not a Cocoa programmer (yet) but I put together a test app and used a delegate method windowShouldClose to send [mainWindow orderOut:window] and return NO to the delegate method.

This hid the window when the close button was clicked, and I used applicationDidBecomeActive notification to send [mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil]

What I couldn't get to work is if I "closed" the window then before deactivating the app clicked on its dock icon, I couldn't find out what event was being triggered so I could make that KeyAndOrder call again.

Anyway, could you not test in your documentwindow windowShouldClose method if it is the last window, and if it is return NO and instead used the orderOut method?

Just curious... seemed to work really well.

Please Don't remove this feature!!! It has immediately given greater use to your product and I love it! Pretty please... leave it as an option! It already saves so much time as this is the way 90% of Mac apps work (of course they really hide themselves).

A bouncing notification icon

I keep my dock on auto hide, and it would be great to have the option to have the app icon bounce once or twice when the Dock Badge label is updated. Sometimes my sound is off (for Campfire), and a single or double bounce would be an awesome way to get my attention when the status has changed. Obviously many people might find this annoying, so the user should be able to turn it on or off.

Absolutely love the product. Keep up the good work!
