Description
On Mac OS X 10.6.4 the menu entry for Preferences is disabled, effectly preventing any customization of the application.
Since it wasn't requested I forgot to mention the release I use. It's 0.9.6.1.
That's a very weird bug. I can't reproduce.
Which version of MuseScore are you using? What sort of Mac?
On Mac, the preferences menu is in MuseScore->Preferences and the shortcut is
⌘ + ,I just saw preferences are accessible via Edit Menu, though there is a disabled entry in the Musescore menu (which would normally respond to ⌘ + ,). Version is as stated above.
Reset priority to normal since there is a workaround.
By accident I found this is probably a localisation issue. I had a german UI active and switched now to english. After that the Preferences entry in the Edit menu disappeared and MuseScore -> Preferences was enabled. On a side note: switching from german to english did not switch the Palette (it is still in german) even after i restarted the application.
Could be linked to this detail in Qt doc
And maybe this Qt bug : http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4463
Might be, hard to say just from quick inspection. Doesn't apply to the unswitched Palette localization.
The palette behavior is a feature actually. You create a custom palette somehow and the result is store in a file with german strings. Remove
~/Library/Application Support/MusE/MuseScore/mscore-palette.xmlto have a clean palette at next startup.fixed in r3909 and r3910
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
