OSX 10.6.2 update broke the Mail plugin [SOLVED: Reinstall using 1.7.5]

[alexknight]

Looks like the latest OS update from Apple broke the Mail plug-in. When I launched Mail after the update it notified me that the Omni plug-in had been disabled.

Start the OF program and reinstall the Mail Clipping plug-in. It should work again.

I followed this advice which also worked for me:

The problem for me is that the short cut command + shift + C is now designated for "Show Fonts", since the 10.6.2 update. Any ideas on how to fix this? I am not having any such luck with the suggestions listed above. :(

I cannot get it to work I tried reinstalling it a ton of times and tried a bunch of stuff and still cannot get the mail clipping to work with 10.6.2....Are you sure there isn't disabling of this function on the 10.6.2? I have it running smoothley on the 10.6 on the other computer without any problems....? Any other suggestions?

What are you using as your clipping shortcut?

What are you using as your clipping shortcut?

The shortcut that I have been using is...command - shift - x
I have tried using a bunch of other ones but none work and also when I try and record the shortcut all it says is all apps must be restarted to use new shortcut which is true but the odd thing is it doesn't show the shortcut commands that I just typed in within the box

As a test, try cmd-shift-, which I know works with 10.6.2. If it doesn't work for you, then something must be wrong with your system; if it does work, maybe you just have a new conflict with your chosen shortcut, like an earlier poster in this thread.

I do not get this up running either. I tried to extend the IDs in Info.plist with some I found in already updated Mail bundles but it didn't work out. Mail.app identifies the bundle as incompatible and removes it.

If you reinstall the Clip-O-Tron from OmniFocus 1.7.5, it automatically updates it for the current version of Mail on your current operating system. (This wasn't true in releases earlier than 1.7.5.)

I just verified that uninstalling and reinstalling the Clip-O-Tron using OmniFocus 1.7.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 makes it compatible with Mail for me.

[Jochen Witte]

After re-installing the bundle, I am not any longer able to assign a clippings shortcut. It simply doesn't use it. If I try to use an existing shortcut, Omnifocus complains (which is correct).

As many posters are saying: It's just a matter of assigning a new keyboard that isn't used by Mail.app already. However, it seems that there are not many combinations available after the latest update.

For me the following combinations are working:
shift+cmd+o
fn+ctrl+alt+cmd+o
fn+ctrl+alt+cmd+x

The last two look a bit complex, but I like them: I just press all the buttons left of the spacebar and the letter [o] or [x].

EDIT:
Just started using my external keyboard and noticed the bottom two solutions are not very good, because the fn button is not in the left bottom corner. I suggest using ctrl+alt+cmd+o (or x if you prefer).

I still have the keyboard shortcut to the Quick Entry (F13), but the Clipping trick (F14) is lost and there's no way to make OF re-register that one. Tried multiple things (uninstall/install the Mail Clip-o-tron), checking shortcuts in Sys Prefs...

I've tried other keystroke combinations - to no avail.

EDIT: I'd suggest that everyone also does a restart after following the guidelines in the sticky. That solved my problems: a complete system restart.

All systems functioning properly now.
