10.5: Revert Help Viewer to 10.4-like behavior
Cool. Though it's a bummer that hacking the binary is required. Luckily the "isVisible" string is exactly the same length as "setLevel:". I tried figuring this out as soon as Leopard came out, but only got as far as the window settings in Interface Builder. One correction/addition: it's a universal binary, so there are two occurrences of setLevel to replace, one for each architecture. I think the first one is Intel, so if you're on a PPC Mac you need to at least replace the second one, if not both. Some other things I noticed:

Update: Help Viewer WILL quit when closing the help window ONLY if it is the original help window and no other help windows were opened (like when the Dock icon is clicked).

Yes, there are two setLevel: calls in the binary, however editing the second one causes errors and an application crash! The universal binary doesn't duplicate itself entirely for each architecture, just parts.
Yes it is lucky that isVisible is the same length, and does not cause a crash when called - no results need to be returned from the call phew :P I also have a utility I wrote to let the Help Viewer show itself when called from the help menu - yet I am not sure how to get Command-Q working again.

I edited both copies of setlevel and don't get crashes or errors. I'm on an Intel Mac, no PPC Mac with Leopard to test on. |
