Can't agree with previous comment: it's using 20MB RAM on my computer, and it runs since 24h.

Tipp for other users: it seems the replacement/completion happens faster if you deactivate the sound. At least there is a difference for me.

Some problems for me:
- not fast enough with dead keys: I replace straight apostrophe with typewriter apostrophe, using the “US International PC” keyboard layout. I type “straight apostrophe” then space, and quite often, the typewriter apostrophe is added after the next letter. Example: I get Im' instead of I'm.
- autocorrect sometimes adds a space before the word being corrected, thus ending with two spaces before the word.

Otherwise, very good product for the price.

PS: I use the “US International PC” keyboard layout because I type in three different languages, two of them using a lot of accents.

The good:
- configurable hotkey
- good dictionaries

The bad:

- impossible to get the translation of a link. It will have the same effect as clicking the link. Apple's dictionary can select the word without clicking the link. But maybe this is a private API from Apple.

- Expensive updates in my opinion, considering that the dictionaries aren't changing very much (even if Ultralingua people do say the contrary)


The ugly:

- no cross-dictionary translation: if I hover my mouse over a french word, I'd expect for ultralingua to display all possibilities, in all dictionaries I have, instead of displaying "no match in the english dictionary" and me having to manually choose the french dictionary.
Example: translating "comment" should give me the english and the french meaning (which is totally different) at a glance, without me having to choose the correct dictionary manually. Generally speaking, it should display all translations in the same window. And the user should be able to decide in which order the matches are displayed (first matches in english dictionary, second in english-french dictionary, and so on...). Just like Apple's dictionary does....

- no way to resize this small translation window (the one appearing when pressing the hotkey).

Nice benchmarks:

Using a 721MB directory full of text files:

7za (7za a -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on) took 11 minutes to produce an 8.3MB archive

BetterZip took 10 minutes to produce a 7.2MB archive (highest compression ratio, no mac-specific files)

I wouldn't recommend the zip highest compression though: 26 minutes to have a 47MB zip archive while the osx utility took one minute to produce a 53MB archive. (Disclaimer: this may be totally different for normal zip compression!)

But since I bought this for removing mac invisible files and p7zip compression, I'm totally satisfied =)

Still some problems here on 10.4.11 and a G4. On some sites safari starts to eat 100% of the cpu. When I disable SafariBlock everything become normal again.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find out which website which caused this.

I think this app is a great idea though, and I really hope it will work flaslessly in a near future.

As a feature request, I would love to have the possibility of having many subscribtions. Subscribtions for very specific needs, or more localized subscriptions have a nice supplement to the easylist+easyelement subscribtion...

The idea is great, but I'll have to wait a bit (it's still in beta, after all), because batch processing doesn't work for me... too bad.

Something which would be amazing, would be the "applescriptability" of lensfix, in order to make it possible to write an apple script and batch process pictures from inside iPhoto!! Just a thought...

Doesn't work for me. Download the updater (AdbeRdrUpd933_all_i386.dmg), open it, it asks me to “choose the copy of AdobeReader to update” but, after navigating to it, I can't select my Adobe Reader, it's dimmed.

safaristand 4.0L168 seems not to work with google gears... I can't load gmail anymore if gears and safaristand are installed. I I deinstall gears or disable safaristand, it's working again.

Has anybody the same problem? Is there a getsatisfaction- or forum-like place to discuss this, as macupdate is not the best place for getting support on a software... ?

Whenever an URL has a high ascii character in it (like "é"), the icon for the website is replaced with a default icon, and pressing enter while this URL is selected has no effect.

I get "There was an error while evaluating JavaScript for the package." when I try to open the package...

SIMBL 0.8.2 is installed, safari 3.0.4, Tiger 10.4.11 and a PowerBook G4

Workaround for the incompatibility with Firefox 2:
- double-click the word (it gets highlighted).
- Press the accio shortcut. (highlight disapears)
- Double-click again the word.
- Press command-C.

The accio window should appear. It works for me at least...
