DESCRIPTION
MaxMenus adds customizable menus to the corners of any display. The menus simplify the locating and launching of applications, documents, volumes, preferences, recent items, photos, music playlists and much, much more.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.5.1:
  • Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) compatibility:
    • fixed the ability to trigger a menu by clicking on the empty area of the menubar
    • fixed the ability to grab items from menus (press ⌘-G with the mouse held over a menu item)
    • fixed arrow key and page up/down navigation in menus
    • restored ability of menus on the bottom of the screen to cover the Dock
    • fixed a crash on launch affecting some users
  • Can now start multiple copies before preceding ones have finished. (To use MaxMenus to copy files, drag and drop something onto a screen corner and then select a folder from the menu popup.) Copies also now prefer Cocoatech's Path Finder, if running.
  • Compatibility with Donelleschi's Sticky Windows
  • Other minor fixes and performance improvements
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

DTRUETT1  As below, no Web site and seems to be vaporware. I use it so frequently, it's almost worth staying on 10.5. Doesn't hurt as much with $5/$10 shareware, but for $30 you think they'll hang around or sell to another developer.

DAVE H.  The Recent Applications item no longer works running under Snow Leopard.

Sadly, MaxMenus has become 50% less useful to me.

DAVE H.  I didn't say MaxMenus didn't work under SL, I said the Recent Applications item doesn't work. That menu is empty no matter what.

MR. LEO  MaxMenus is great. It is unmistakable true.

I've been using MaxMenus for years and it's superb in use in every way.

MaxMenus has much functions that are farther stronger and more abundant than FinderPop.

And, it is a very excellent tool far used easily.

A lot of friends of me and me strongly support keeping the version improvement of MaxMenus through all eternity.

JIMOHIO628  You can download a free copy of MaxMenus from: www.darwinports.com/download. The web site requires for you to download DarwinPorts, after providing your email address. After you supply this info, a download link for the free copy of MaxMenus appears, click on it, and enjoy the free software. You do not have to install the copy of DarwinPorts that you downloaded. Enjoy!

WILE E.  It would seem that the few folks at Proteron have disappeared. I had an issue from August 2007 that was never really addressed. Had two replies at the time promising I would hear from the main developer - never did.

Lately a new issue has cropped up and seems to be a bug with how Proteron utilizes the upper right corner. Repeated attempts to contact support have been left unanswered.

I have always loved this little program but it has become unusable for me and without any support backing it up any longer I am disappointed to have to let it go.

Even more disappointing is that is still listed as a MUPromo item which suggests they are still around somewhere where they can collect money even if they ignore support requests or deal with problems.

TOMRAKEWELL  Can anyone confirm that the spring loaded menu/folder corners work in Leopard? This does not work at all for me. I have repeatedly contacted Proteon about this but have not received any reply :-(

RHYWUN  Drop works, but it's not apparent until you click a menu and the item moves there. Drag with Command-G does not work as described in the documentation.

I just bought this thru the MU discount, but the product's web site has been down for several days now. Emails returned, too. Not sure what is going on.

TOPEAU  Wouldn't be without MaxMenus. When I use my wife's Mac that doesn't have it, I'm almost lost.
