I'm not touching this thing until they fix the EULA! Too bad it looks great :/

And how are you supposed to get any real work done in the cloud doing that?

Also, it's not just about personal info, it's about my intellectual property. What I create and store is mine and I get to choose how it's used, regardless of where it's stored.

This utility is redundant because *every* Mac user should have a copy of Diskwarrior which also does smart reporting.

When you get your first Mac, DiskWarrior should be your second acquisition. Been using Macs from the start and I believe that not having a copy of diskwarrior, ahead of time for when things will go wrong, is foolish.

Each to his own though, just trying to be helpful. One day you'll agree with me, ask your Mac guru friends, everyone comes around when a hdd won't mount and disk utility is worthless and TT makes it worse.

Bye.

Latest stable version is 11.2.202.233, not 11.2.202.228 which MU has linked above.

MU is still out of date. The developer's site link doesn't even work anymore. Current version is 3.0.1.

Apple OS X Mountain Lion
Mistere commented on 17 Feb 2012
Have user controls over versions and auto-save been implemented? This is why I can not upgrade to 10.7.

I want an off switch for versions / auto-save. It completely trashes my workflow and fills up my hard disk with backups of large media files that I never intended to save the changes that I made to them.

If I want an iPhone / iPad I'll go buy one, give me back control over my Mac!

Garmin BaseCamp
Mistere commented on 17 Feb 2012
The reasons given below, no need for repetition, are the main reason I have Parallels Desktop installed and a Boot Camp partition.

Garmin has shown an appalling lack of commitment to the Mac user community and, now that that user base is increasing exponentially they're trying to play catch-up but are not devoting enough resources to it.

Too little too late Garmin! I want feature parody with MapSource for Windows. Garmin has massive resources, there's no excuse for this or the mess that is their cartography product line.

Cookie

Mistere reviewed on 01 Feb 2012
I've tried every other cookie management program, browser plugin, etc... for Mac and *nothing* comes close to doing the job that Cookie does.

Plus, Sweet P has been a dedicated developer for mac for years and I trust them. Their after sales support is excellent, just look at how the developer replies to people in the comments here.

There is a learning curve at first or really it's just a setup curve unless you need educating on what cookies are and how they work. If you know about cookies already this program is very robust.

Please keep it lean and mean, I'm noticing some "feature creep" in the last couple releases that added features. I'd hate to see this get bloated as it has a pretty specific scope of what it does.

Hey MacUpdate, when are you going to stop featuring applications that can't even hold a 2 star rating?

Don't you care about what your user base thinks?

It's pretty clear that the vast majority of us hate this new version and no changes have been made to address the major gripes for several releases now. Most of us, myself included use the old 2.8.x version so how about giving featured app status to something more deserving instead?

Personally, I'd be featuring ClickToFlash instead.

HaH! And here I thought Skype was the lowest rated feature app on MU.

Hey MU mods / admin, if an app has under 3 stars it should lose it's featured status.

This steaming pile certainly doesn't deserve it.

Garmin BaseCamp
Mistere had trouble on 17 Jun 2010
This version upgrades MapManager to version 2.1.3.1beta. When you do a custom install it does show that it will be "upgrading" MapManager and MapInstall applications but it does not indicate to what version which would allow you to unselect those applications if you already have a newer version installed to prevent an unintended downgrade. This should not even be an issue though because the installer should be smart enough not to downgrade applications to older versions.

It's very confusing the way Garmin is packaging updates. MapManager and MapInstall updates were released quite recently and listed on MacUpdate as separate updates but in fact both listings point to the same download/file which installs both applications, again, without indicating what version is being installed.

Like I said in my previous comment for version 3.0.1, it is very poor practice to not identify in the installer description that it will be updating or downgrading applications other than BaseCamp. I'm happy that Garmin is supporting the Mac but it wouldn't take much more effort to be clear about what these packages contain and what is going to be updated. Also, if they're going to continue bundling multiple application updates into each release without indicating as much in the name or description then make the installers smart enough to recognize when you have a newer version and don't mess with it!

Finally, I don't see in the release notes that the problem with not displaying the latest BlueChart maps has been addressed in this update.

This version downgraded my Garmin MapInstall app from 2.1.6 to 2.1.5. Suggest doing a custom install and unticking MapInstall until we get an explanation from Garmin.

I wish it was clearly indicated that this package installs more than just the BaseCamp application.
