Subject: Does 2.1 fix the Engine Crashing and . . .

the last I heard development on this application had stopped and we were notified via a somewhat rude notice there wasn't enough cash coming in or something and those if us that bought were SOL.

The main problem is that the engine quits in the background and you have to restart the application to get it to work. So I have had to set it as a Startup Item and set it to hide, but it won't hide for some reason, so I just quit it and things work as long as the app has been started each time the machine is re/started.

It's an OK app, but needs work. FruitMenu now does what I got Keyboard Maestro for and it works all the time with no background component crashing.
