I mainly use apple remote when I watch a movie with VLC or when I give a presentation using OpenOffice.
Snow Leopard 10.6.1 launched itunes whenever I was using VLC, 10.6.2 OpenOffice just don't detect the remote anymore...
I was worry about security at beginning then I realized Candelair comes from the guys who make Remote Buddy so I decided to give it a try.
Candelair just worked flawlessly when I needed VLC or OpenOffice, the menu is simple but there is only one button I care about : Activate Leopard compatibility mode!
