Test of Yummy: three beginner's questions
« on: February 17, 2007, 06:14:53 AM »
Hi,
I'm just starting my 30-days test period and Yummy looks OK, but I already have 2 questions:
1) I don't see and HELP function. There is an "i" in the toolbar but it doesn't answer to any click. Is there any HELP and if yes, how can I invooke it?
2) When typing in my server information my German Yummy asked me if it shall use my "Schlüsselbund" = "bunch of keys"; I told it "yes" but I have no idea what that is. What is a "bunch of keys"?
3) Now I see a YUMMY Panel with a toolbar with a lot of icons but no text which tells me what to do. I don't care if software products are friendly to analphabetics and present everything in icons without words. But they should also think about people like me who can read. I look at the icons and have no idea what to do next. Where is any HELP (question 1) or user guide?

Hi,

1. Have you not noticed the 'Help' menu? In German this will be 'Hilfe'. From it you can select the Quick Start option which will display a document describing basic usage of Yummy FTP. The "I" in the toolbar is for getting Info about the item(s) you have selected in the listings - it doesn't respond because you haven't selected any items.
2. I think you are referring to the Keychain. This is a standard part of the Mac OS X operating system which allows you to store all your passwords securely in one place.
3. By default, all the toolbar icons do not have any text labels because the icons make their functions self-explanatory. However, you can see the explanatory text if you wish - control-click on the toolbar and select 'Icon & Text' (In German, 'Symbol & Text')

Maybe everything will be clear to you once you read the Quick Start. Unfortunately, it is in English, but it should still be useful.

Thanks,
Jason
