I plan to use Input Managers hack to add functionality to
closed-source software. I know that these hacks are not a good
programming technics, but there is no other way except using it. I
have only one question: will Input Managers be available in Mac OS X
10.6? Because I don't want if my hack stop working in new version of
Mac OS X. Are there any other methods to inject own code in other
software, which will work both on 10.5 and 10.6? I really hope to get
an answer from Mac OS X developers, who can assure me that they stay
Input Managers in OS or remove it.
1. I don't have Snow Leopard, so I can't answer your question.
2. Anyone who *does* have Snow Leopard is under NDA and thus *still*
can't answer your question.
3. Since there's already an "Input Methods" folder in Leopard that
replaces the (supported) functionality of input managers and which
developers are encouraged to use instead of input managers, since
Apple clearly disapproves of this sort of hack, and since input
managers don't work with 64-bit apps, it shouldn't be a surprise to
anyone if they disappear in some future OS X version. Even in the best
case, your hack will stop working as apps begin migrating to 64-bit.
Personally, I wouldn't waste my time.
