I know that InputManagers are "now officially unsupported." And also that

But while it is still possible I would like to continue using them.

So I copied my thing into the /Library/InputManagers folder.
Then did
sudo chown -R  root:admin /Library/InputManagers
and
sudo chown -R go-w  /Library/InputManagers
and started some non-64 Bit programm, expecting to see the NSLog() call made
in the +load method.

But, alas, I did see nothing.

This used to work on ppc-Tiger - but no more on intel-Leopard.

Anything else I should check?

You need the correct permissions as well, not just the correct owner.
Does "chown -R go-w" even work?

Why should it not? Anyway, it seems to work ok - no group nor other has any write permissions.


Anyway, download a known working input manager such as SIMBL, and
compare the permissions with yours until you find the discrepancy.

It turned out not to be a permissions-problem at all.

If I have:
        /Library/InputManagers/MyFancyInputManager (owned by root etc.)
and also (with the same name)
        ~/Library/InputManagers/MyFancyInputManager
then things get very confusing, inconsistent and in most cases just do not work.

But when I rename one of these to:
        ~/Library/InputManagers/AnInputManagerNotToBeLookedAt
then everything starts working just fine.


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
