No Extract button available #221

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put audio CD into internal drive (stock Mac Pro Superdrive) -OR- locate a 
folder full of AIFF (or whatever files)
2. Use File | Open Audio CD -OR- use File | Open Folder as Disc
3. Pre-gap detection completes, and XLD window appears, with track data
4. All functionality is present including metadata editing, EXCEPT the Extract 
button. I cannot actually rip the disc or convert the folder.

How about the reproducibility (always, sometimes, rarely, ...)?
Always, since this problem appeared a few months ago.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the main window WITH an "Extact" button to the left of "Get 
Metadata".  What I get is this window without that button. Everything else 
seems normal.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XLD 20131102 (145.0)
OS X 10.9 (also happened under at least late subversions of 10.8)

Please provide any additional information below.
It didn't used to be missing, several months ago.  I have not been able to 
convert anything except by selecting individual tracks (singly or in multiples) 
in the Open dialog for some time.  The only XLD plugin I have installed is 
XLDLogChecker.bundle ver. 20121222.

I guess you've edited the toolbar. Right click a toolbar and choose "Customize 
Toolbar...", then restore the default set.

Yep, that fixed it.  Why is removing basic tools an option here?  It never 
would have even occurred to me that an app like this would have an editable 
toolbar.

Huh? All applications with editable toolbar have the option. See Finder, Mail, 
Preview, etc. Ask Apple for reason.

That was rather tautological; of course apps with an editable toolbar have an 
editable toolbar.  I repeat (in hopefully clearer language) that there is no 
reason to think that a simple program like this that only performs a handful of 
functions would have or need an editable toolbar, since no one ever needs to 
remove one of its basic, core functions, and there are no optional onea to add 
via editing the toolbar.  Giving XLD an editable toolbar is effectively dead 
code and definitely a useless "feature".  Since it's fairly easy to 
accidentally delete one of the basic features from the toolbar without 
noticing, as happened to me, it's actually a *misfeature*, like building a 
button onto your car dashboard that can make one of the wheels fly off for no 
reason while you're driving.

People may want to customize a toolbar; e.g. move the extract button to the 
left-most position. There is no way to disable only deleting feature. It is a 
limitation of Apple's framework.

Hmm. So an editable toolbar is mandatory on applications now?  I wonder if 
there's a way to have XLD detect that one of its features is missing from the 
toolbar and pop up an alert about it (one with a "don't show this again" 
checkbox so it doesn't come back unless you change something else about the 
toolbar).  Seriously, I have been using Macs since before OS X existed, and it 
never would have occurred to me that a one-trick pony app like this would have 
an editable toolbar from which the most important button had been accidentally 
removed.  I was about ready to uninstall XLD and use something else.
