As a longtime Dreambox 7000 user and a Mac user for a bout 3 years this is THE app for both. Really appreciate the work the author has put into this software. Works like a charm with my Dreambox 7000
A suggestion though. I would love to see an option to automatically load the Boquets, channels, etc. instead of having to click on "Get from box".
I've been a long time user of the website macupdate.com but only started playing around with MacUpdate Desktop 5.0.1 yesterday and I must say - Woot woot woot!
I really like the comfort of this app. I can update almost all my apps in one single place and even apps I have not used for quite some time are shown to me.
The neat thing I really like is that I mostly do not have to interact with the apps installing but I get a simple popup telling me that MacUpdate has done its work and the app has been updated.
Of course there is always room for improvement. Things I would really like to see in future releases.
1. Blend out apps I mark for not checking - I don't want to see them at all
2. Tell MacUpdate to ignore certain folders ( for example the Utilities Folder )
And I even if this goes against the nature of a program looking for updates. A simple click to uninstall with cleanup of the plist files would be the cherry on top of a double cookie mega vanilla flavored milkshake :-)
This is another of my "must-have-apps". I have been enjoying Skitch for quite some time now and I must say I have integrated it into many of my workflows because its simply, powerful and does what it says!
Love it and would not want to use a Mac without it.
WIth the different kinds of display modes for stacks, even list view, all you have to do is create a folder, put the aliases in there and drag that folder to the dock - done.
The only thing I wish that would be added: Batch Processing.
I would love to setup 10-15 jobs to convert MP3s to Audiobooks and have my iMac do all the work while I am sleeping instead of having to one after another after another after another...
I really like this app - BUT - I am not gonna use it anymore. I know its free but I want to have it work fast and easy.
I give it real ease of use, but if I have to click ( when its done deleting ) if I want to visit the authors website or do not want to visit it I am clicking more than need be and its annoying as he**
I am back to deleting via short cuts and then using another shortcut to empty the trash
First of all - let me thank you for this wonderful little time waster - its changed my way of using YouTube. Makes it alot easier to surf and watch videos for me!
I just did a testdrive with Tubular, which is a PAID app and I must say - Tooble beat's it in the aspect of speed ( which is critical for me ) by a mile!
The only addition I am wishing for now ( since I saw it in Tubular ) is the possibility to ad a video to my favorite list within YouTube from within Tooble.
I thought. Wow finally I get an updated version of "VisualHub", but hell now. The "converting" plain s*cks. Used a MOV File and wanted a MP4 - yeah I got an MP4, but out of 3:28 Minutes a 0:58 Minutes file was the result - WTF?!??
I then did the same conversion with VisualHub - smooth as silk.
Yeah its free - but if it doesn't work - why use it?!?
Does not work for me. Says I do not have a Version of the software that is able for updates. ( I got 12.1.3 ) - when I googled "office update 12.1.4 won't install" I got a few hits.
So this seems another problem with the update that happend a while back with another version.
I tried the solution if one removed a language pack from office ( which I did not do, I also have an original version, did not change paths, etc. ) - but I still have this problem
Just have to wait for the update to the update of the update...
Regarding the invalid API key thing:
flickr.com temporarily "pulled the plug" on my API key I'm using in flickery for communicating with flickr.com. Apparently, they weren't aware of how much traffic my app would cause them :)
They seem to have re-enabled it for now, but I can't say how long it will last.
I'm in talk with them and currently waiting for them to reply.
Please keep an eye on my blog (http://web.mac.com/oddysseey) for updates on this. Thanks.
Just tried this out and I am almost ready to purchase a license.
I configured my ports manually, because Papaya couldn't do it for me ( no biggie ). So I passed the server status test.
BUT for some reason it only takes my local IP adress, even if I set it to take my external IP adress. So I am unable to share to a chat friend of mine.
Is this a bug? Can I do something to fix it?
This seems like a REALLY REALLY superb quick share app ( and Apple is gonna hate you for making sharing iTunes music such an easy task hehe )
I am just trying out 4.0.1 and don't know if there is something wrong with my system or with DFX.
I changed the settings in the menu to:
( the labels might be different, since I am translating this on the fly from the german Text I see )
1. Black Toolbar Background
2. Visual Effects de-activated
BUT the settings don't stick ?!? So when I reboot the checkmark at Visual Effects deactivated has disappeared.
And even IF its set, I still get a fade in/fade out effect.
I am also unable to use the greysidebar - I can klick the radio button but it has no effect. I still get a complete black background and no grey sidebar anywhere to be seen.
What am I doing wrong ?!?

Now with 10.5.3 the UserAgent hangs AND the coreaudiod also shows up red in the activity monitor.
This is a great app I would buy - but with these two problems I am not willing to shell out any money.
