github rafaelSwi/MenuBarUSB v3.0

latest release: v3.1
13 days ago

New Features

  • It is possible to store connection logs for devices. The logs store which device it was, the action (connect or disconnect), and the exact time it happened.
  • It is now possible to Pin a device to display it at the top of the list (accessible from right-clicking a device).
  • A new settings tab has been created: Storage. It centralizes all options for resetting information, such as unpinning all devices.
  • It is now possible to increase the font size of the device names.

note: MenuBarUSB v3.0 was tested on two real machines running Sequoia and Tahoe, and a virtual machine running macOS Ventura. Everything worked perfectly.

About Logs

  • By default, logs are not saved.
  • A new screen has been created for monitoring the logs. If you want, you can open it in a separate window by right-clicking the button.
  • You can export a JSON (renamed devices will keep their renamed names).
  • You can save a maximum of 500 logs. When you reach that point, the oldest log is deleted to give room for a new one. Also there is no option to change this limit.
  • On the log monitoring screen, you can blacklist a device to hide it from the list, or paint (aka highlight) a specific log to make it easier to track (right-click for both actions).
  • The MacBook charger is also capable of generating logs.

Bug Fixes

  • Hiding secondary information also hides the battery percentage, if the option to display the MacBook charger is enabled.
  • If the option to hide secondary information is enabled and the option to display information when hovering the mouse over the compact list is enabled, the battery percentage is correctly displayed.

Others

  • Pinning a device automatically displays an icon next to its name. You can hide this icon if you want.
  • In the toolbar, the option to cycle screen width has been replaced with a toggle for increasing/decreasing the font size of the device names.
  • The options to check for updates, donate, and some other options in the settings have had their icons removed and now only display text.
  • Custom larger width sizes were slightly reduced.
  • Restart button shortcut has been removed (replaced by right-clicking the “Exit” button).
  • You can no longer delete all inheritances from the “create new inheritance” screen.
  • The indicator for renamed devices has been replaced from a filled circle to a small pencil.
  • Internally, the permission for user-selected files (USER_SELECTED_FILES) changed from read-only to read-write because of the JSON export feature.
