Hazel

Gcoghill reviewed on 01 Mar 2012

I've been participating in the 3.0 beta, so I have some experience with the new version. I was a long-time user of the app prior to 3.0 and this update brings much of the functionality that I was looking for in earlier versions along with lots of great new stuff.

The developer was very responsive to the feedback of us beta testers, so I feel the 3.0 release is a very solid release, worthy of both the upgrade for existing users as well as a full license for new users.

Any hangups I had with pre-3.0 versions are gone. This is still a bit of an advanced app for the novice Mac user, but with a little bit of time and trial and error, any Mac user could start using this even just for some of the basic functions. Once you get more advanced, Hazel will keep up with you.

Having "current time" criteria as well as the new nested rules is a huge improvement and will streamline your rule setups immensely. Rule creation, preview and testing is much improved in this release.

One of my top must-have Mac apps just got better. Can't recommend this highly enough for automating stuff on your Mac.

@Sigil - contact the developer, he'll be sure to get back to you. That said, the new version will continue to do what you need, but you may find yourself using more of Hazel's features as I feel the rules are a bit easier to construct now. And you can always just hold off on the upgrade until compatibility forces you :)

You could try his forums, it might already be there. Dev would be glad to answer I'd think.

PopSearch Safari Extension

Gcoghill reviewed on 14 Feb 2012

Great extension! Being able to Tab over to the search engine list dropdown menu is key, so one can search without taking their hands off the keyboard.

Great job, thanks for making this available!

LineIn

Gcoghill reviewed on 03 Oct 2011

Great little app used in conjunction with Soundflower to record Skype calls in GarageBand for podcasts.

MacTubes

Gcoghill reviewed on 22 Sep 2011

What an awesome app to watch YouTube videos in the background while working. And free? Good stuff.

Smart Scroll

Gcoghill commented on 21 Aug 2011

So is 3.9 reserved for Smart Scroll users on OS X 10.7?

[Version 3.9b3]

Herald

Gcoghill reviewed on 19 Jul 2011

Super handy to keep an eye on your email inbox for info junkies like myself. The Spam button itself is worth the install. I've gladly donated to the developer for this.

[Version 1.3.2]

Growl

Gcoghill reviewed on 19 Jul 2011

Love me some Growl. As an info junkie, you can't beat it. Highly configurable, and the companion apps for iPhone Howl and Prowl) for push notifications make it even better.

I'll gladly pony up for the 10.7 App Store release.

ClickToFlash

Gcoghill commented on 18 Jul 2011

I'd love to use this extension over the plugin, but the lack of a whitelist always sends me back to the plugin.

Ah so you need to install the ClickToPlugin extension as well?

Nevermind, I figured it out — the settings are in the Contextual menu. Thanks!

Excellent little utility for all you Twitter info junkies out there. Worth every penny.

Or put your display to sleep with the default system shortcut: Control-Shift-Eject.

Neither of which are mentioned in the software's description.

Fluid

Gcoghill had trouble on 21 Jun 2011

I have issues with the "open link in new window" command, just opens a new window in the background with the home page. Anyone else seeing this? I emailed the developer but got no reply to this issue.

Also, the contextual (right-click) menu seems to be missing some items such as "open image in new tab" etc. I feel like this version is a step down from the beta.

Changes Meter

Gcoghill had trouble on 05 May 2011

Is there a way to check pages that require a login?

TVShows.prefPane

Gcoghill had trouble on 28 Apr 2011

Anyone else seeing an issue where the downloaded torrent is named with the show name, not the actual file name and getting errors in Transmission when trying to add it?

Oddly it's working OK again. I sent off the reports as requested. Thanks!

Smart Scroll

Gcoghill had trouble on 23 Mar 2011

Does anyone else experience issues with Smart Scroll's Grab Scroll not working with either Echofon or Twitter for Mac?

It's very odd that the two apps that I have issues with are both Twitter clients. It's probably just a coincidence.

I see this issue in Reeder for Mac as well. I've been in contact with developer, who said he was going to look into the scrolling situation with these apps, but that was a month or so ago. Hoping to see this addressed soon, as I use both apps quite a bit.

The developer is working on fixing this issue currently. I just tested a beta version and it's working now. No idea when it will be released.

Apple FaceTime

Gcoghill had trouble on 20 Oct 2010

Adding favorites is buggy, seems to be related to phone numbers in 555.555.5555 format - results in just the number showing up, not the name.

Otherwise launches OK, haven't given it a test yet for actual chatting.

[Version 0.9]

DwellClick

Gcoghill had trouble on 16 Aug 2010

Interesting app, but the scrollbar click feature doesn't play well with a Wacom tablet. Couldn't "unclick".

Haven't played with it further since it rendered my Mac unusable until I was able to disable it.

Sounds great, glad you were able to figure it out. Will give it another go once the fix is in place.

I tried unplugging the tablet, but that didn't fix it for me so I wasn't sure what was wrong.

Thanks!

UploadMe

Gcoghill had trouble on 24 Feb 2010

Crashes when hitting upload. Hoping to have FTP upload so I can save to my own web server. Or Flickr.

Needs ability to paste a screenshot that one has saved to the Clipboard.

Text editor needs to allow the text to be edited and to be able to move it.

Looks like it could be a handy little app though.
