What's New
Version 1.6:
- Support injecting plugins into background process LSBackgroundOnly=1 and agent process LSUIElement=1, if plugin has explicitly targeting application bundle identifier (not *. e.g., com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService, com.apple.dock or com.apple.security.pboxd).
- Compatible with PowerBox com.apple.security.pboxd.
- On SIMBL Agent.app launching, the agent will not inject plugins targeting bundleIdentifier == "*" into apps which has LSUIElement=1 or LSBackgroundOnly=1 in Info.plist. This behavior has been changed from previous version of EasySIMBL.

I use Mavericks 10.9.2. It's a clean rebuild of my previous system.
Afloat is an important app on my machine and EasySIMBL successfully runs it on my machine again.
Thank You for that.
Unfortunately EasySIMBL prevents FilterForge from working.
I get this error message:
SendEventToEventTarget(event class '(kEventClassAppleEvent, kEventAppleEvent)'). failed with os status errAEPrivilegeError / telBadHandErr(-10004): / bad handle specified .
When I remove all the EasySIMBL files off the system, Filter Forge works again (but afloat doesn't).
Anybody know what is going on here and if it is fixable?
Thank you.

Looking at the Console logs, EasySIMBL takes preference over SIMBL, though to reduce requests I recommend uninstalling SIMBL using the uninstaller provided with SIMBL http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/18351/simbl

When using it with a user's home folder that is not located on the startup volume I get the message:
Cannot find executable for CFBundle 0x7f981187220 (not loaded)
For users that have their homefolder on the startup volume it works without problems.
Tried it also on 2 users with homefolders on external disk. Both get the same error message, only path to the home folder is different.

FYI: While mucking about with EasySIMBL I found that I had an old version of ColorfulSidebar in the root SIMBL/Plugins folder, which may have been conflicting with a newer version in my user SIMBL Plugins folder. So be careful you don't have other SIMBL plugins installed in both locations.

With another user you just have to start EasySIMBL one time to get it running.

Bottom line:The developer should Just fix it to handle both folders or clearly state in your description that it only supports the root SIMBL folder so that users might not be confused.

Many users do not want to upgrade to 10.7+ for software obsolescence reasons or hardware incompatibilities forced on them by Apple which requires them to buy a new machine. My upgrade to 10.8 cost me around $4000 because of this - new Mac Pro, plus additional compatible hardware and software, just to have the same capabilities as I did with 10.7.
+20
Any user that doesn't want to upgrade can continue with his present machine and OS version because nobody is oblige to upgrade. In this case, SIMBL works fine in 10.6 Snow Leopard, so you can keep using it. But when 10.7 came out, SIMBL stopped working and the original developer did not upgrade it anymore. Then EasySIMBL came to live to overcome that problem and adjust to the new developing guidelines imposed by Apple. Why don't you complain to Apple? or to the developer of the original SIMBL?
So, If you don't want to upgrade you can use SIMBL. If you run 10.7 or 10.8 you can use EasySIMBL... and everybody happy.
By the way, if you upgraded to 10.8 spending all that money is because you needed it for something else. If not so, you were the one that made the mistake, because I am sure that no Apple rep forced you to do so.
Come on guys, a developer spends his time, effort and knowledge to create a FREE app that works and you just complain about it when you should say thank you first and then suggest ideas or features to make it better.

You didn't have to upgrade if you had system 10.6 and a version of, say Photoshop, compatible with it. I still have machines running 10.5 with FreeHand 11 and they work fine and as useful as the they they were bought. But if I want to use CS6 of course I need to upgrade my system. This is just an example and no body forced me to upgrade. It was just me that wanted the new software so I had to follow the industry. But if all I want to do is keep working with a tool that is working fine, like FreeHand 11, nobody forces me to upgrade.
Buying a machine and software is an investment and one that looses value each and every day that passes. As a private user most of the time the investment is not worth because it will be obsolete before you can really get the return in value measured as fun and the things you will do with it. But as a private user you buy with your heart and desire, not with the head.
As a professional user or as an SMB, you buy with a budget and thinking that the investment has to make a return in a predefined period of time. If you the outcome is positive then it means that the investment was worth every penny because it made you work better and get more work done. But if the outcome is negative it means that you were wrong buying that machine and software in the first place, because you didn't really need it.
This world is complicated and imperfect. That is why is even more important that we all try to cooperate and get the best out of every situation.
I hope you get the best out of your $4000 system and that it lasts fast and powerful for many years.
Cheers from Spain
