Startupizer

F451 reviewed on 05 May 2012

Startupizer 2 is out. For me, this app does a better job at login items than Apple's. Add the benefit of sets to activate and it becomes even better!

[Version 1.2.3]

GIFBrewery

F451 commented on 28 Feb 2012

Unfortunately, no trial, but there is a video that the Developer has made demonstrating its features: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1ihSt9Wklk

[Version 1.4]

Apple OS X Mountain Lion

F451 commented on 16 Feb 2012

It would have been nice to simply leave the cat world at Lion and start a new naming system or simplify the designation at just Apple OS 10.8.

Also, looks like Apple has taken on Growl (deja vu of Konfabulator/Dashboard).

[Version 10.8]

WriteRoom

F451 commented on 14 Feb 2012

Another heads-up for downloading and installing version 3.1. (I love WriteRoom so not an issue for me on the $5.) You will receive the following window message:

Upgrade to WriteRoom 3

The WriteRoom 3 upgrade is free if you ordered WriteRoom 2 after October 2010. If you have an older license, the upgrade is $5. Thanks for your support.

[Version 3.1]

Punakea

F451 commented on 11 Feb 2012

When you go to update Punakea, the updater simply gives you this sole option:

VERSION 1.2.1 (BUILD 1786) - FEB 10, 2012

Punakea is now exclusively available on the Mac App Store.
Follow this link to proceed to the App Store. The update mechanism you are currently using is no longer supported.

Future Punakea versions are now MAS only, including v1.2.1.

[Version 1.2.1]

Logitech Control Center

F451 commented on 02 Feb 2012

Under Lion OS 10.7.3 the ability to set specific application settings no longer works and "global" settings is the only configurable option.

[Version 3.5.1]

xGestures

F451 commented on 01 Feb 2012

Man, I miss xGestures. Surely trust the developer will update a version for Lion OS. It was great when it first arrived on the Mac scene and great up until Lion where is it hit a snag (called Lion).

[Version 1.75]

Comic Life

F451 commented on 31 Jan 2012

Improvements in 2.1.1 (v21672):
Various bug fixes for issues encountered with the 2.1 update. That update incorporated a number of under the hood changes made in order to prepare for comic sharing with the iPad edition. Unfortunately it caused some issues which are addressed in this update.
The bug fixes are:

Trouble/crash opening some 1.X comics
PDF output orientation locked to portrait
PNG files losing transparency on export
Image in panel moving when resizing the panel
DigitalStrip limited to italics
Lint McCree font line height differences between regular/italic/bold
Slight misalignment of images in panels causing gaps
Images missing from comics created from user templates
Flickering editing area when working with vector images

[Version 2.1.1]

Google Maps Plugin

F451 reviewed on 30 Jan 2012

This is one of three excellent Apple Address Book plugins that I use. The other two (one also by this developer) are:

Post Check by Brian Toth
Address Book Dates by Josef W. Wankerl

All three make for a better Address Book Experience. Google Maps Plugin quickly adds pertinent information to your Google Maps search.

[Version 2.8]

LifeShaker

F451 commented on 30 Jan 2012

From the developer's website:

LifeShaker for Mac OS X is no longer on sale.
We are currently developing an iOS version of LifeShaker.

[Version 1.2.4]

TabExpose

F451 had trouble on 13 Aug 2009

TabExpose Version 2.0 does not work with Safari Version 4.0.3 (5531.9). It will alter Safari's toolbar and you will have to hunt down TabExpose in your system's Input Manager folder and delete the TabExpose bundle to restore Safari.

[Version 2.0]

Speed Download

F451 had trouble on 30 Jun 2009

Unfortunately this version, for me, has been a complete disasterÑa first in my usage of Speed Download. Freezes my system, and no matter what I try to do to rectify the situation it still freezes. It struggles with my keychain, although there is nothing wrong with my keychain. Even removing all Speed Download components, and starting fresh still leads to the same outcome. I had to revert version 5.1.4.

[Version 5.2]

Found the problem to be two (2) Speed Download keychain files that I deleted and started anew. All is well, and many thanks to the developer for a great little app that I have now used for years!

WeatherDock

F451 had trouble on 07 May 2008

Mine went crazy too, but the developer is aware of the issue:

Important notice!

Dear WeatherDock users, it has come to my attention that the format of the feeds delivered by weather.com and used by WeatherDock have been changed, causing some undesired behaviour in the WeatherDock application.

I will investigate this issue and try to find a solution.

If this issue can be resolved then I will be posting a new version a soon as possible. Please check back later, or use the 'Check for updates' item in the WeatherDock menu.

Regards,
Alwin Troost

[Version 2.4.7]

OmniGrowl

F451 had trouble on 05 Nov 2007

2.1 is giving the following AppleScript Error:

The variable theaddies is not defined. (-2753)

I'm using Leopard.

[Version 2.1]

GardenSketch

F451 had trouble on 24 Feb 2007

For some reason I cannot get it to launch on my G5 PPC. Love to try it though.

[Version 1.0b5]

Web Snapper

F451 had trouble on 03 Feb 2007

Once installed you are unable to select Customize Toolbar in Safari. Tried to contact developer, and website give no means of doing so. There is no uninstall feature so I hunted down the pieces to remove them and return Safari back to normal.
