Because MU may not always be linking to the very latest version of this app, check here before you download

Wow, Misha, I've never noticed that 'Add/Update' link before! I'll certainly start using it from now on if the need arises. Thanks for the info. :)

Adobe Creative Suite

Yes, a post about the pricing. I can find no prices on the Australian Adobe website with the exception of the monthly membership price which is some AUS$13 higher than the price listed on the US site, depsite the AUS$ being valued higher than the US$ at the moment.

I wonder what little extras we'll get for the extra dollars here in the land of OZ? I bet the full product pricing will be exorbitantly higher as well as per usual. I can only scratch my head in amazement at Adobe's continuing price gauging pricing policy.

Speed Download

Kobalt reviewed on 24 Jan 2012

Happy to report that despite the 'Requirements' above mentioning OSX 10.6.8 as a minimum, this version still works perfectly fine under OSX 10.6.5.

I've been using this great soft for heaven knows how many years now (perhaps even since the demise of Monica) and haven't had a problem with it once. Not sure what the frequent updates are all about, but they don't seem to make any diff to how it behaves on my system. Good work, guys!

If only the dev had a way for me to buy a license without having to use the MAS - to which I do not have access. :-(

MPlayerX

Nice to see that mplayer.org now gives everyone a MAS-free download option for the very latest release. Good soft and now a good download, too.

Bugger! Minimum requirement is 10.6.6. :(

MacScan

This soft finds the odd tracking cookie, but doesn't always tell me where it's from. However, that would indicate that it does in fact do something useful.

The biggest gripe I have with it is that it doesn't generate a log, so there is no way to keep a track of what's been done, short of the clumsy work around suggested below of printing the results of the scan to PDF which is a poor substitute for what ought to be included as a standard function.

Make it log and have those logs save automatically and you'll get an additional 2 stars from me.

At the time of writing, v1.0.10 can be downloaded **MAS-free** from http://mplayerx.org/downloads/MPlayerX.zip

TotalFinder

Kobalt had trouble on 27 Sep 2010

v1.0 doesn't seem to play nice with Finderpop anymore. I get windows opening on their own and without tabs when I select a sub folder from the sidebar via Finderpop.

Never had a problem with the pre-v1.0 versions.

You may wonder why I post this here. I simply refuse to jump through Twitter/Facebook/etc hoops to get a 'bug' report to the dev, but that's how the dev's set up the reporting system. Here's hoping my msg will be read anyway.

Oh, excuse me, Dr Win. I thought that perhaps the 'Support' menu item at your website would be the one to click to report a possible bug.

It takes me to http://support.binaryage.com/ and when I complete a report and follow *all* the prompts and answer all the questions, I end up with this

And the very same happens when I try your suggested 'getsatisfaction.com/binaryage' link.

At the time of writing, the download link address is incorrect - there's a dot missing.

This is the right address

ADMIN, please remove this msg when the link's been fixed.

Okay, problem solved. A restart did the trick. Well, I should have tried that to begin with ... duh!

After installing 'trash' I had no option but to either accept or reject 'immediate deletion'. I have deleted 'trash' again, but I still get this insistent choice when I hit cmd+del. How do I get back to the situation prior to installing 'trash' when I could just move files to the trash folder with that key combo for later 'real' deletion?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I seem to not have made myself quite clear. I turned off the annoying warning you're referring to the very moment I installed OSX.
Prior to installing and using 'trash' I could move files to the trash and they'd just sit there until I chose to empty the trash. Now whenever I want to move something to the trash, I am advised that it will be deleted immediately, ie I cannot just have it sit there anymore until I am ready to empty the trash. Clearly this means that if I accidentally move anything to the trash now, I have no way of pulling it out anymore.
I want to go back to the status I had prior to installing/using 'trash'. How do I go about doing that?
