How? It has no front end or preference panel anywhere I can find.
And why would you create such a stupid situation?

Why the heck must we have have a help page opening up with each install? I've been using this for years, how inconvenient ... and there's been plenty of these installs lately.
I'd prefer not to keep iKey in the Applications folder ... and it certainly doesn't need an installer.
The "iKey Preferences" menu item from the iKey menu has never worked for me, how about having a look at that.
Now that you've changed your name and website perhaps you can address the above issues?

Come on guys (talking to the dev(s)), this release should not have seen the light of day.
The download links to a file called 'iKeybeta.zip' ???
It now uses an installer that puts the 'utility' in the 'Applications' folder.
It auto-opens a URL to an illegible google-docs manual.
At least one modal dialogue in the utility is in multiple languages.
Oh yeah, and the 'helpful' auto-update from the previous version fails on all three of my macs - thankfully.

This release gets a 4 star CF award. It would have got 5 but at least it didn't replace my previous working version of iKey, all I had to do was Trash the new version and restart the old.

My disparaging comment "It auto-opens a URL to an illegible google-docs manual" was undeserved - it was another @#$%^& font conflict on all my macs.
To the Devs; Please accept my apologies for this.

As of v2.4.3 I am once again reasonably content with the Utility - I give it 3.5 (positive) stars once again.

However, I am glad to report that the problem (two launches of the same application - and having to quit the launched application twice) has been solved by simply trashing the preferences of the previous version and rebuilding the settings of the new one. Since 1Key is extremely easy to set up and modify, this was not a big deal.
