Coda

Star-Affinity commented on 24 May 2012

That's the kind of tab previews I'd like to have in Safari (and other browsers)! Preferably right or left of the window to not take too much vertical screen estate.

I know OmniWeb has this, but it's not being developed anymore. :(

Sorry for being a bit off-topic. :)

Oh, it seems OmniWeb is being developed somewhat (last update was in December) but I suspect it's not as up-to-date with WebKit as Safari and Chrome.(?)

Boom

Star-Affinity commented on 23 May 2012

Hehe, I thought this was the game BOOM: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/1731/boom

But the obvious difference is that this apps name isn't written in all caps…

Rename

Star-Affinity commented on 10 Feb 2012

Good software, but needs a new (better) icon.

I see version 1.6.0 has a new and better icon! :)

Bean

Star-Affinity commented on 02 Feb 2012

I think the tabs looks a bit ugly and ”misplaced” compared to the look of the rest of the app, but otherwise I like it!

Microsoft Office 2011

”This update fixes critical issues and also helps to improve security.
It includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code.”

Give me a break.
It's been the same description of ”what's new” in the updates in Microsoft Office on the Mac for years.

Can't be the same every time, can it?
Why not let us know what's new?

I found a more informative list of what's new:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2644347

Maybe someone at MacUpdate can add those details under ”what's new”?

Chromium

Star-Affinity commented on 06 Oct 2011

Not that it's a super big deal, since you can restore your session after a crash, but why does Chromium has to crash every time one click ”Install & Restart” to update it?

Transmit

Star-Affinity commented on 22 Jul 2011

The zoom button (+) behavior in Transmit 4 must have among the strangest behavior of any app.

It behaves like I think iTunes 10 did when it was released, jumping to the center of the screen when the zoom button is clicked. This was later adjusted by Apple, probably because enough people complained about it.

Doesn't make sense to me at all. Better just zoom the window to full screen I think.

Firefox

Star-Affinity commented on 21 May 2011

Nooooo!

This issue is still there in Firefox 5.0b2: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306585

It doesn't work to use the keyboard shortcut for ”Back” and ”Forward” if one use English as the language in Mac OS X, but have a non-English keyboard layout setup in System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources.

This is a deal-breaker from me and prevents me from switching to Firefox no matter how nice it is otherwise.

I meant to type ”This is a deal-breaker for me”, not ”from me”,

@Penguirl
You're welcome. I wonder if it will ever be fixed...

There is solution to this!

I downloaded the extension keyconfig: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=72994

Then using that I could set the menu item shortcuts I wanted, and now Firefox "listens".

Trine

Star-Affinity commented on 15 May 2011

Hmm... Fix for the new MacBook.

For a second I hoped for ”better game controller support” since the co-op is one of the things that makes the game great (tried it on Playstation 3 with two controllers.

Unfortunately it seems difficult to get USB controllers to work well, especially on the Mac.

If anyone knows of a way to get it work with (say a Logitech USB controller) I'd be happy to know how. :)

Darkest of Days

Star-Affinity commented on 07 May 2011

I haven't tried the game, but it got 4.5 out of 10 at Gamespot:

The Windows version that is, but I guess it's more or less the same game.

Bookends

Star-Affinity had trouble on 13 Sep 2008

Ehhh.... at least on my girlfriends MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.4 the screen freezes when pressing the + button to zoom the Bookends window to cover the entire screen. Only the arrow cursor can be moved around and force quite doesn't work. It seems a forced shut down is required. I could reproduce this two times.

So, an app can still drag down the entire system. Like back in the 90's! :)
But maybe this is a graphics driver issue? I hear something about a graphics core update coming in 10.5.5...

I of course meant "force quit" not "force quite".

Also to clarify; a forced shut down and restart of the comp was what I meant.

Star-Affinity replied on 14 Sep 2008

Safe mode to be able to zoom a window so it covers the screen? Sounds a bit fishy to me... :)

Well, I'll email you instead of communicating here.

Penguins Arena

Star-Affinity had trouble on 17 Sep 2007

Impressive. This game manages to *TOTALLY FREEZE* my MacBook Pro when loading the first level. Can't force quit with Cmd + option/alt + esc. Have to force shut down the computer by holding down the power button. Feels like I'm using a Commodore 64 or something... but hey! It's 2007 and I'm on Mac OS X!
It would be better if the games freezing power was used to re-freeze the melting arctics. :P

Google Desktop

Star-Affinity had trouble on 04 Apr 2007

The "GoogleDesktopDae" daemon every other five soconds eat about 30% to 50% processing power on the MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2, 3 Ghz with 2 GB RAM I have. Fans start to make noise.

Is it indexing perhaps?
Think I will remove it for now...

DivX Pro

Star-Affinity had trouble on 06 May 2006

For me the audio is laggy and doesn't play smoothly in QuickTime Player with this codec installed. Video is fine though.

Both audio and video is just fine in VLC. Why is this?
