Text Tools

Dorkypants commented on 23 Apr 2012

Possibly it's just coincidental, but several days after I installed Text Tools 1.1 I got 2 copies of every icon on the right-hand side of my menubar. Not sure what triggered it, but I'd shutdown and restarted many times since installing Text Tools. Perhaps it was some accidental keystroke-combo or modified mouse-click.

Logging out and back in didn't fix it. Rebooting didn't fix it. I hadn't installed anything else, so I uninstalled Text Tools, rebooted, and all was back to normal.

Oh yeah, I also noticed the flood of messages about MTL trying to inject itself into all sorts of processes in the console log, whether it seemed sensible or not.

Yes, where the "menubar app" icons are including Spotlight, Bluetooth, Airport, etc. (not the per-application menus, which go on the left side of the menubar).

The console message overload was version 1.1 of Text Tools. I haven't yet tried 1.2.1

Templates for Numbers

It's not free, it's $9.99 at the App Store.

iGoogle Maps

Dorkypants commented on 16 Mar 2012

What's the advantage over eMaps, which is less than 1 MB, vs. iGoogleMaps at 11 MB(!)?

MacFusion

Macupdate admins, MacFusion 2.0.4 was released 12/3/10. Please update this page.

IMKQIM

Dorkypants reviewed on 07 Feb 2012

This isn't free, it's trialware. It's free to download but the notes in the installer say that after 30 days you have to register.

Chocolat

This is not freeware, it's alpha software which is going to cost $34 when it's released.

Correction, the pre-release price is $34 at 30% off, which means the eventual price is about $49.

cmdQuit

Doesn't cmd+option+Q close all windows when quitting in Lion?

MightyMonitor

Dorkypants reviewed on 02 Oct 2011

Handy, but the accuracy of the readout doesn't inspire confidence. Yesterday the display had dropped to 24% charge for the keyboard, and was indicated in yellow. Today, the keyboard's charge remaining has jumped up to 27% and is green. Huh?

Garmin BaseCamp

Dorkypants reviewed on 12 Aug 2011

Garmin, why do you let me choose "Bicycling" as my "Activity" when you won't route me onto bike paths clearly displayed and marked as such in the City Navigator North America NT map!?!

And how come when I asked Basecamp to check for updates today, the update check *FAILED*, yet a few hours later I see a new version posted on macupdate.com?

TiVoTool

The link to vserver results in a 404 page not found at http://code.google.com/p/tivotooldown/down.html

Screenshot Plus Widget

Dorkypants had trouble on 06 Feb 2012

Macupdate admins, please update this page to reflect that version 3.4 is available; also, the link to the developer's site is apparently wrong, it should be http://www.tarcolesfilmarts.com/software/. The developer's site says 3.4 works on Tiger and later. I can verify that it works on Snow Leopard.

[Version 3.3]

TCPBlock

Dorkypants had trouble on 26 Sep 2011

2 problems:

1) Whitelist sometimes doesn't stick: i.e., items I add to the Application List disappear from the list after a reboot. This has happened for Unix daemon programs rather than GUI apps.

2) On wake, I've gotten a Growl notification that a daemon has been blocked, but when I open the prefpane, it's not on the list of Connecting Apps so that it can be added to the whitelist.

[Version 2.9]

2) Yes, I figured out the prefpane needs to be open and set up my login to do so.

1) Hasn't happened again. If it does, I will send details.

MailTabs for Mail

Dorkypants had trouble on 17 Jul 2011

Great plugin, but...

I'm using Mail.app 4.5 on Snow Leopard with the classic 3-pane interface: folders on the left, headers on top-right, message body in bottom-right. With MailTabs installed, the header pane's height keeps creeping up as tabs get created and closed.

Scalare

Any update for Twitter requiring 3rd parties to use OAuth?

ASP

Dorkypants had trouble on 21 Mar 2011

Was using 0.9.8b6 successfully with Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (I think I may have added a PluginCompatibilityUUID string for it). Just upgraded to 10.6.7 via Software Update, it installs Mail.app 4.5, which disables ASPBundle, even after I copy the new PluginCompatibilityUUID from Mail.app to ASPBundle's SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs.

OK, apparently 2 ID strings need to be added:

Thanks to Greg Welch, developer of MailFollowUp plugin.

X Lossless Decoder

Dorkypants had trouble on 11 Feb 2011

The download link still downloads the 20101212 version. In addition, the developer's site says the latest version is 20101212. What makes MacUpdate think there's a 20110212 version available?

[Version 20110212]

Safari Cookies

Dorkypants had trouble on 07 Sep 2010

This is strange. I never installed 1.5.1, yet when I installed 1.5.2, the "remove non-favorite cookies" checkbox disappeared. I uninstalled 1.5.2 and reinstalled 1.5, and the checkbox was still missing, so I uninstalled 1.5 and reinstalled 1.4.4 and the checkbox remains missing.
