What is Click, there it is!?

What does "Click, there it is!" do?

Click, there is is! enhances an intuitive feature of the Mac, e.g. point-and-click within Open/Save dialog boxes.

Click, there it is! is something Apple should have done in the Open/Save dialog boxes since the invention of "multitasking."  Have you ever wanted to Open/Save a document into a place where the Finder already has a window opened for it?  If you see the window in the Finder you can instantly make that your current folder for opening or saving simply by clicking on it.  If the Open/Save dialog should happen to obscure the Finder window you are looking for, then simply drag it out of the way by dragging it from any point along the frame!

Power User Tip

Click, there it is! is enhanced by WindowShade. WindowShade lets you open many Finder windows and shrink them down to their title bars for easy clicking.  WindowShade is now a visible part of the MacOS 8 windowing system (Collapse Box).

System Requirements

From Mac OS 7.0 up to Mac OS 8.1





Compatibility notes

New...

MacOS 8.1 support

Click, there it is! 1.0.9 is compatible with MacOS 8.1b3 and newer.

KanjiTalk fix

The re-entrancy problem which caused Click, there it is! not to work with KanjiTalk is now fixed.  The fix may extend to other language kits with alternative keyboard input mechanisms.

Older...

MacOS 8 support

MacSki, Sun Java JDK applet viewer

Inside Mac is a little unclear about the behavior of the file filter with respect to folder filtering. I now perform folder filtering in StandardGetFile() instead of calling a supplied filter. I may revisit this issue and limit it further in a future version.

Redraw Problems when dragging Open/Save

Some applications can't handle updates when dragging the Open/Save dialog - this can cause redrawing problems until the Open/Save dialog is dismissed. Contact the developer and mention that they need to handle update events during Open/Save time per Apple's "Update Perils" Tech Note.

ZipIt, BBEdit, MacPerl, MacWeb to name a few...

Click, there it is! mangled some Open/Save calls with custom filters prior to version 1.0.4. This was the most serious bug so far.  Basically I mangled the stack with wrong number of arguments and I was also passing -1 in the form of 0xFF.. with one less F than expected.

OpenWide

To this date I have no problems testing Click, there it is! with all 3.5.x versions, including version 3.5.9.

Custom Third Party Open/Save WDEFs

Dragging the Open/Save dialogs requires WDEFs to implement modal windows like Apple, i.e. a small gap between the "inContent" region and the size of the "portRect".

Norton Directory Assistance (Norton 2.x)

Click, there it is! must load after Norton's Directory Assistance II


Emulating this? It could probably run under: Basilisk II
