Bug Fixes

Added back option to use Bartender Bar

In macOS Sonoma getting images of menu bar items that are offscreen causes the purple "Bartender is Capturing your screen" menu bar item to show, as such this happens when the Bartender Bar shows your menu bar items. So until I could come up with a solution I had disabled the Bartender Bar. But it seems many of you REALLY like the Bartender Bar so I have re-enabled the option to use it, but it is turned off by default.

Bartender always hiding items before showing others on screens with notch

There was an issue with the logic for deciding if Bartender needs to hide currently shown items before showing others to create enough room for them, the bug was only screens with a notch, that caused Bartender to always think it needed to create more room, this has been fixed.

Menu bar item group editing

Items added to a menu bar item group when first created would not be saved, this has been fixed.

Typos in UI

Thanks for all the feedback, I am working hard to fix all the small issues.

Fix for Trigger script conditions not running

Trigger script conditions would not run if the "Run script every" time had not been adjusted from its default value, this has been fixed

Crashes

Fixed 2 possible crashes.

Items stop showing/hiding

Fixed a bug were bartender would stall, stop controlling items.

Wrong script showing when editing multiple triggers

The previous triggers script would show when editing another script. This has been fixed.

Trigger activated indicator not updating

This has been fixed.

Menu Bar styling drawing badly

After a mac sleeping or screens changing some user shave seen the styling could draw incorrectly, this should be fixed.

Trigger script saving issues

Newly created script would not save for some users first time, this has been fixed.
