Hello

Thank you for that review. I like your idea and if it`s possible to determine from a Dashboard-Widget whether the Mac just woke from sleep I`ll implement that - or find a way around it. =)

The "animation"-Bug prevents the widget from displaying "checking..." and other information while it does check. This is due to optimizations in the WebKit and I`m optimistic that this bug will soon be ironed out.

The feature "update after sleep" is definitively coming in the next release. Thank you for the idea.

That's great news! I have been wondering how progress has been, so it's great to hear back that it will be included.

As for the idea, you're very welcome! Having the idea was the easy part :-) but you are doing the difficult part of implementing it, for which we should all be grateful!

Once again, thanks very much for working on the feature and also, for taking the time to report information back to this review thread.

Hi there. Just downloaded 1.5 and am pleased to see that the update from sleep function seems to work just fine!. Thank you. If you don't mind me saying so, I would have preferred the option to enable (for my portables) or disable (for my desktops) this feature, such as a checkbox called 'refresh on wake from sleep' near to 'refresh on activation'. It's a small point, and in any case, perhaps you thought it was such a good idea that everyone should have it. :-)

I don't miss the IPv6 or broadcast information, but I do miss the DNS data. Was this removal intentional or an accident? In some locations/configurations, my DNS data is sourced from the gateway but in others, it is configured explicitly. Therefore, I do miss that information very much :-(

I really like the option to show all interfaces, including those that are inactive. However, in expanded view, there is now a lot of information listed vertically, and it drops off the screen!

Therefore, may I make one more suggestion/request, please?! That is, the option to show all the information in a nominally horizontal window? Each interface (or section of data) would be displayed left to right, in it's own 'column', with it's IPv4 and 'Other' information vertically, in the rows just below it. Therefore, Config, Name, Type, would all be on the same row for each interface and would make it much much easier to read, or scan quickly, especially when lots of information is displayed at one time. Of course, most screens are also wider than they are tall, so I think might work well.

Hope you don't mind me making the suggestion. What do you think about it?

Regards, John

Hello John.

Of course I don't mind your suggestions, I love to get feedback. ;)

I would like to discuss this via email, if that's okay for you. Drop me one at pascal@widgetschmie.de, so I can reply you. =)

Hmmm, I don`t know where you got that URI from, but it gets your IP actually from "http://www.whatismyip.org". =)

Thanks for the props.

Actually "www.am3.am.net" **is** "www.whatismyip.org". They resolve to the same IP address.

"am3.am.net" is the address that Little Snitch reports when Network Stat makes an outgoing connection to update the widget information.

By the way, I really like this widget, it has a great selction of useful information centrally located at a button press. Sincere thanks for making it available.
I have one feature request, but I will put that forward as a seoarate post.
