Is Chax available for Mac OS X 10.4?
Chax 1.5 is the most recent version that will run on Mac OS X 10.4. Chax is not available for Mac OS X 10.3.
The Chax installer says that it can not run on this system version!
Chax 2.0 and greater requires Mac OS X 10.5 to run. Please download Chax 1.5 if you are running Mac OS X 10.4.
The Chax installer says that I am part of the group wheel.
Chax and other InputManagers will not function on Mac OS X 10.5 if the user is part of the group wheel. You can remove yourself from this group by typing this command into the Terminal:
sudo dscl . delete /groups/wheel GroupMembership [your-short-user-name]You will have to restart your system after entering this command.
Does Chax 2 provide tabs for iChat 4?
iChat 4 now provides built-in tabs, available in the Messages section of iChat's preferences. There are currently no plans to reimplement the tabs previous available in Chax 1.5 in iChat 4.
Is it possible for Chax add additional support for other protocols such as Yahoo! or MSN?
Jabber transport may be used for text messaging if you are interested in using other protocols in iChat. A search on any search engine will provide more information on how to set up iChat with Jabber transport.
Are there plans to add Off-the-Record (OTR) messaging to Chax?
The possibility of adding OTR support to Chax is being evaluated, but there are currently no plans to implement OTR support. If you absolutely require OTR messaging, please consider using Adium. There is also an OTR AIM proxy that is available from the OTR developers.
iChat displays an error saying: The file "Activity.chaxActivity" could not be opened because it is not in the right format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in a different format than you expect.
To fix this error go to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Chax/, delete the file Activity.chaxActivity, and restart iChat.
