Re: RE : Yet another (trivial) idea .. activate behaviour and hide menu ..

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
I completely agree with Chris.

"Hide menu" is, according to my experience, 99% 
useless. Would love to have an option in the prefs to 
hide it, or move it to the bottom (as Chris 
suggested).

I also would love to have an option to... how can I 
say... activate a behavior which automatically hides 
the RB menu. Like, for example, when I call up 
Dashboard... it's weird to have the widgets come right 
under the menu, and then I have to press "'Menu" on my 
Apple Remote to hide RB, and then "Menu" again to 
navigate to the Dashboard item to re-hide it.

I know, I shoul "Activate Exposé Behavior" and then 
have a button call up Dashboard, but my point is, I'd 
like to have the "automatically hide RB menu" option 
for certain items...

Like for Front Row, I don't like navigating to the 
Front Row item and then press Play, and then Play 
again to launch it.

Maybe I'm not totally used to RB after all ;-)

Thanks for "listening" :-)

Hi Felix, all,

Does "activate behaviour" as the first item of an 
inactive Behaviour make sense ? (that has just been 
selected from the list of Audio & Video - e.g. 
EyeTV)?

To my mind, if I select a Behaviour (Application) 
that is inactive then I want it activated.

Also, the short menu press shows/hides the RB menu 
very well - it seems unecessary to have "hide menu" 
as a menu item within each behaviour (perhaps at the 
bottom) .. top item is important real estate ..

Also, I like how "quit" doesn't move left 
afterwards in the current approach (as one might be 
planning on reactivating). "Activate" if kept could 
then be placed below "quit" and "hide menu" at the 
bottom. Alternatively why not have remote buddy 
activate a behaviuor (when inactive and it is 
selected), have quit perform the quit and then move 
left, and remove hide menu. Simple is beautiful.

I do really like the stickyness .. how RB remembers 
the location.

An idea .. make the order based on usage (and still 
sticky) ?? Not sure haven't had time to digest if 
this would be cool or annoying .. I guess this sort 
of learning/adapting to usage is pat of what made 
LaunchBar so innovative/great ..

cheers, 
chris
