Cookie

Jfm reviewed on 17 Mar 2012
I assumed that using MacScan from time to time would allow me to get rid from tracking cookies. But Cookie seems to find many more.

Moreover, it allows to delete cookies where Safari does not do it properly.

In addition, it is very easy to use and works very well. I have now been using Cookie for a few weeks: never any problem with that application.

And it has made Safari more responsive - no longer those frequent Safari freezes I used to experience. I had never thought that had something to do with cookies, still find hard to believe it - but I can only share my experience: from the day I installed Cookie, problems I used to experience daily have nearly completely disappeared.

Domainer
Jfm commented on 04 Oct 2011
I am rather pleased with the new version. There are several improvements, starting with the option not to have a dark background. What is missing, however, is the option to have larger fonts for the domain name list: this would be useful, since not everybody likes small fonts. Another thing that should be considered is adding the data for some ccTLDs that are missing (e.g. a number of European TLDs).

Not a major jump, but an improvement no doubt. Anyway, I have tested all apps for keeping a list of domains over the past few years, and this is definitely the most decent option for Mac users.

Thanks to the developer for the comment. Among TLDs I would like to see, I could mention for instance .CH, .FR - and possibly .LU. Outside of Europe, it would be useful to include the "pseudo-global" .CC and .WS. I am aware that it might not be possible to retrieve the data for all TLDs. However, Whois Analyzer Pro allows to get the data for most of the TLDs mentioned, thus it should not be technically impossible.

Congratulations again for your fine app!

Little Snitch
Jfm commented on 08 Aug 2011
Does the new release solve the problem of the kernel panic caused by Little Snitch when attempting to print from a browser? I had to uninstall Little Snitch a week ago due to that problem.

Keyword Manager
Jfm commented on 22 Jul 2011
It was an excellent tool. Unfortunately, the developers have decided to discontinue it, for understandable reasons. I quote:

"Some of you may remember that we posted a beta version of Keyword Manager 1.6 earlier this year, which was compatible with iPhoto 9.1.1. However, when version 9.1.2 was released, the beta version no longer functioned. This is because a number of the functions that Keyword Manager uses to do its work were removed from iPhoto in that update.

"Each version of iPhoto that is released requires us to rewrite the entire interface between Keyword Manager and iPhoto, due to the changes that Apple makes to the internal structure of the program. We'd like to stress that this is not unexpected nor in any way Apple's fault. It is just the nature of writing a plug-in for a program without a supported plug-in architecture.

"The economics of keeping Keyword Manager up to date has caught up with us and making the plug-in work reliably in the current version of iPhoto, and then the next one after that, would require a substantial investment in time and resources from our side, and even then it is not certain that we would get Keyword Manager working as well as we'd like."

Sorry to hear that - but thanks nevertheless to the developers for all the good work they did and the time they invested.

Elmedia Player
Jfm commented on 07 Apr 2011
I do not know if it does what it claims to do, but after my recent experience, I would strongly advise NOT to install this app!

I suddenly started to experience repeated cases of kernel panic: every 15 minutes! I lost much time attempting to solve the problem. Finally, thanks to Console reports on kernel panics, I realized it was the .kext file of Elmedia that was causing the problem. - To the app's credit, the uninstaller did remove all components.

Additional information: I am on a brand new MacPro (four months old), boosted with additional RAM, with a lot of empty space, and the kernel panics were taking place while I was only reading texts or using a browser, without a lot of open apps - so I wonder if the issue of CPU usage is really the problem...

Anyway, due to Elmedia Player, I lost several hours... definitely an application to be avoided!

Google Chrome
Jfm commented on 02 Apr 2010
I have switched to Chrome a few days ago, since it is so fast compared with Safari. Quite amazing.

One minus of Chrome is the lack of ability to open a PDF document within the browser window: this is something I do often with Safari, while with Chrome I need to download the document and open it with another app.

Beside that, I must admit that Chrome is a very good competitor to Safari - and does better when it comes to speed, something really crucial for surfing.

The download link does no longer seem to work - same on the developer's website itself...

PDFGarden
Jfm commented on 07 Jan 2010
According to MacUpdate, the price is $5. In the developer's website, it is mentioned as $19 - a slight discrepancy that ought to be fixed...

I have never used PDF Garden, but I have used its "ancestor", PDF Merge X, quite a few times, and still have it on my desktop.

I own PDFpenPro. I am wondering if I should buy PDF Garden too, or if PDFpenPro can anyway do everything Pdf Garden does?

Seatubes
Jfm commented on 27 Nov 2009
I have still version 1.2.5, I wanted to update to 1.2.6... but Seatubes is mentioned is "not currently available" on the websiute of the developer, and I find no place where the latest version can be downloaded. Too bad! I use Videobox most of the time, but the current version is not working, so I had hoped that Seatubes could be a good alternative (I had used it rarely in the past).

Jfm had trouble on 22 Aug 2007
Very good app indeed, it has helped me several times.

FYI: version 2.8.2 does not decompress correctly (neither the download through MacUpdate nor the update from the app itself. Probably some corrupted file. Maybe the developer could inform us on MacUpdate once this is fixed.

Thank you, I will try again later, after restarting my Mac. Since I had the same problem both through MacUpdate and inside the app, I had not expected the problem could be on my end - especially since the previous updates went flawlessly.

Apple Mac OS X
Jfm had trouble on 14 Mar 2007
On Power PC:

Some initial problems for opening Finder, solved after selecting once "Macintosh HD".

Other initial problems for opening existing Keynote projects (Keynote would refuse and quit). After repairing permissions a second time, however, problem solved.

Evertyhing seems fine otherwise.
