Unable to click in Open or Save or Save As window in certain apps

zqso opened this issue 5 years ago · 5 comments

Hi W0lfschild,
Thanks for this excellent bundle.

I find that when winBuddy is turned on, any part of Open or Save or Save As window is unclickable in certain apps.

I know that I can block the apps that is not compatible, but it seems to be too many apps have the same disturbing issue. That's why I seek help here.

If any additional info is needed please let me know.

Tested on:
MacOS 10.14.6
MacForge 0.12.2
winBuddy 0.3.1 and winBuddy 0.3.5

Results:
Unclickable:
Safari.app
Preview.app
Numbers.app
Pages.app
Keynote.app
Red Lines Tools.app
,etc.

Clickable:
Google Chrome.app
Keyboard Maestro.app
Notes.app
Scrivener.app
,etc.

Below is the screenshot:

Best,
ZQSO.

For your information, noShadows.bundle works perfect for the pop-up windows, except that there are no dropdown menus for to choose.

Nevertheless, it is a great bundle!!

Hope to see the newly updated bundle and I won't hesitate to pay for it.

Thanks!
Best,

Most likely you should just blacklist com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService

Even though all those apps are different they're most likely using the openAndSavePanelService.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know how this works, so I added every possible name in both App_Blacklist and CLS_Blacklist as shown in the screenshot.

I tried but got no luck. The issue is still there.

Im having exactly the same issue!

Now I switch to "noShadows" plugin, lack of some functionality though. Ive been cool with it.

Link attached:
w0lfschild/noShadows: 👻 MacForge plugin that removes shadows from windows on macOS - https://github.com/w0lfschild/noShadows

or you can find it inside the MacForge.

Edit: seems that another method out there:
Yabai, a window manager, kill the shadow in a hardcore way.
I tried and quit though.

Here's the repo:
koekeishiya/yabai: A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning - https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

Here's the documentation wiki.
