ImageOptim

Programhappy reviewed on 07 Feb 2012

This is an absolutely flawless application. It does what it is designed to do better than any application on my computer (I have hundreds). PNG files from my Web site designer get reduced by up to 80% without any discernible loss in quality! ImageOptim is glorious in its simplicity and ease of use. It's drag-and-drop heaven!

Absolutely fantastic script! It enabled me to instantly create 706 folders from a list of 706 domain names that I provided. Now I have a unique backup folder for each one of my 706 domains. What a time-saver!

iText Express

Programhappy reviewed on 09 Oct 2011

Great text editor. HOWEVER, when I change the color of some text in a document, the document itself erroneously disappears! To make things worse, when I go to the "FILE --> OPEN RECENT" menu to re-open the file, the "Show Colors" popup (containing all of the little squares of different colors) still appears and will not go away. Other functions do not work properly at that point, either. I have contacted the developer and hope that this problem gets fixed.

1Password

Programhappy commented on 05 Aug 2011

I absolutely LOVE 1Password.

That said . . . .

What happened to the ability to have the 1Password icon in the system menu bar? Also, I no longer seem to to have the option to automatically populate the username when auto-saving logins. Please tell me that these things will be returning, as their absence has made 1Password basically useless to me.

ShowPass Safari Extension

Very simple, yet incredibly useful! Excellent work!

Why are you now included this separate .dmg with automatic A-Dock updates via the "MacUpdate Desktop" application?! I don't want or need this puzzle app installed every time I update A-Dock.

SafariTabConfig

Programhappy commented on 10 Jun 2010

Developer, I have a HUGE feature request that I think will be quite helpful to many users. There is (was) an add-on called "Twicetab" (see "Twicetab 1.3.1.1" here at macupdate), but it doesn't work on Safari 4 or 5. One of the optional features of TwiceTab that I desperately miss is the ability to make a URL (or domain name) in my clipboard open in a new tab. For instance, if I copy the text "http://www.google.com" or "google.com" and then double-click on an empty space in the Bookmarks Bar, it will open the Google home page in that new tab. However, if there is no URL or domain name at the top of my clipboard, the double-click action in the Bookmarks Bar will perform the user's default preference (home page, blank window, etc.) for a new tab. Please advise.

Awesome, but still does not work with finder windows.

Please add an "Email" column so that we may sort emails strictly by email address instead of "Sender."

Does anyone know the exact code to block ads in Gmail?

Unfortunately, 1.8 is crashing Safari:

Just emailed to you the crash report . . . .

MacUpdate Desktop

Programhappy had trouble on 22 Feb 2011

Version 5.0.7 has some bugs. Namely, I get the beachball of death during any update. Deleting the "macupdate" folder, as instructed by Macupdate Support, did not help.

Safari AdBlocker

Version 1.9.3 causes the text in the "View Source" window of Safari to be a bigger, hard-on-the-eyes font.

Does NOT work on 10.6.3! Please release an update.

TotalFinder

Crashes every time I use Time Machine to recover a file. Specifically, the finder window becomes one with the desktop background, and cannot be moved.

MacUpdate Desktop

Programhappy had trouble on 17 Mar 2010

Why are roughly half of my apps suddenly grayed-out, reading "No information available"? GraphicConverter has no information available? iChat? iTunes? Omniweb? I seriously doubt that.

I'd been using MacUpdate Desktop 5.0.4.for quite some time, with no problems.

Marine Aquarium

Programhappy had trouble on 26 Jan 2010

I paid a couple of months ago. After installing the recent security update from Apple, the screen saver no longer works. A black screen appears, with a message stating that "Marine Aquarium 3 does not work with this version of Mac OS X." I need a working version for the latest version of OS x 10.6.2!

Anybody else having a constant problem with the toolbar disappearing?

MacUpdate Desktop

Programhappy had trouble on 11 Nov 2009

I've noticed that when I "hide" MacUpdate Desktop or collapse it to the dock while it is performing an operation (checking for updates, installing, etc.), the operation freezes and I have to start the operation over.

Not OK. Fix it already, please. This is a paid program. It keeps turning itself off and displaying the "Could not start" nonsense.
