  • hot corners -- e.g., [shift]-[right mouse button click] in the lower left corner of your screen to pop up a menu that lists all system preference panes

WHAT'S NEW
Version 4.1.8:
  • Fixed a Sparkle-related bug in Butler. We’ve worked around the issue for users of Butler 4.1.7, so you can update as usual. We have to get this fix out, though, to simplify future updates. Note that this update may sit on the "installing update" screen for 30 seconds or so. If this happens to you, just wait; Butler will relaunch on its own.
  • Made further changes to the code that locates the iTunes library. Some users experienced issues with the changes we made in 4.1.7; we’ve solved those problems in 4.1.8.
  • Fixed a bug introduced in 4.1.7 that prevented drag-and-drop operations with Butler’s pasteboard.
  • Available languages: English.
