Apple like to keep things simple and only give you a "handful" of gestures to use with the Magic Trackpad. This app takes the lid off and gives you access to the Trackpad's full potential, with dozens of swipes and taps that can be assigned to different functions either globally or within specific apps. And since any gesture can be used to trigger a keypress, you can use this in combination with a macro app like Keyboard Maestro to do almost anything with your Trackpad.
CPU usage is light: usually 0.1%, occasionally rising to 0.8%. An amazing utility. I'd hate to be without it.
Had to delete it as the Sophos Intercheck process was regularly running at 100% CPU, slowing down my whole Mac. After deletion a startup freeze problem also went away.
Pity, as Sophos seemed quite good at purging malware attachments on emails.
Anyone thinking of buying this should be aware that post-1.0 updates will now only be available through the App Store - with no upgrade path for people who registered before the App Store release:
I've been using this for 5 years on various Macs and various mice. Updates have all been free and I don't recall having any problems with it. Works fine with Lion and it recognizes all the buttons and sliders on my current Logitech mouse. For me it's an essential Mac utility.
I give it 5 stars just for making ImageShack so easy. I also use it for drag-and-drop FTP uploads, clearing stuff off my desktop, and for holding all those little utilities that I need fast access to but don't want cluttering up the Dock.
I was a fan of SABnzbd+ (and still am) but NZBVortex has won me over. Lovely interface; very stable; quits and restarts nicely when I need to restart my Mac; has fewer unraring problems than SABnzbd; and the ability to search an nzb indexing site from within the app is very useful.
Some features I miss from SABnzdb+: the ability to search the download queue; the ability to see at a glance how old the "waiting" items are without clicking on each one individually; the ability to move an item instantly to the second position in the queue (so that I can prioritize it in a long queue without disturbing the current download); and the more advanced scheduling options in SABnzbd.
Some features I'd like: the ability to add personal notes to waiting items or to rename them; the ability to filter by "waiting for download"; and maybe some more options for the nzb search engine (e.g. categories).
None of these are deal-breakers, though. Congratulations to the developer for creating a really useful and well-designed app.
You're right - I completely missed that little search box in the filter bar. Thanks!
I realise there are several neat ways to prioritize the queue, but the one I was hoping to find is something like "Right Click -> Make this nzb the next one that downloads after the current one is finished". That's easy in SABnzbd, even if the nzb is at the end of a queue that's several hundred long.
I'll take a look at the issue tracker. Thanks again.
A fast and full-featured NZB-based Usenet client. It's a different concept from other Usenet apps (it works in the background and you configure it through a browser interface) but once you get the hang of it, it makes perfect sense.
Note to developer: Thanks for making the latest build 10.4 compatible. (I got a bit worried when I found that the previous release was 10.5 only).

Back to ClamXav, I guess...
