About Me
I am a Free member
Gender: Male
Have been a software developer for about 30 years now. Mostly as freelancer. Usability and fail-safety are big concerns to me when I write programs.
Exciting things I've done in the past:
Author of F-Copy for the C-64.
Worked for Gepard Computer, a small company creating an early 68000 computer.
Created Templemon, a machine level debugger for Atari ST computers.
Developed an entire software development system based on a Modula-2 compiler for Atari ST.
Implemented the virtual machine for MagiCMac, which runs Atari ST software on Classic Mac OS.
Wrote and published the quite successful free-/shareware Joliet Volume Access.
My most recent apps (Find Any File, iBored) are found at http://apps.tempel.org
Also worked for Roxio and Elgato on Toast and EyeTV.

EXIF Viewer
Tempel reviewed on 26 Feb 2012
The problem is that I need to see ALL EXIF data from my DSLR, and this tool won't show everything. GraphicConverter's "exiftool" shows much more info, for instance. So, while's it a neat little app, it's not the right one for me, sadly.

SmartGit
Tempel reviewed on 01 Apr 2011
It has all the features one can want. It's not, like some other Git clients, a simple shell over a standard commandline interface, but adds its own smartness on top of it.
I also like the fact that I can configure viewer and comparison tools to be used for particular file types. E.g, for my REALbasic project, I can assign Arbed as the viewer, and for other text files I use BBEdit.
Just like with SmartSVN, it's always been 100% reliable and stable for me. And the developers are responsive and helpful, usually within the same day.
If I had to complain about something, it'd be the user interface sometimes not following proper Apple guidelines. Sometimes a modal window doesn't appear like one (it appears like a doc window), and similar little things. Nothing of a problem, just a sad little result of this app being in Java, and Apple's Java support lacking (i.e. shame on Apple, not on the SmartGit developers here!).
Certainly give this tool a good trial run. It works well, is well maintained, and you can't beat the free personal license.

Has settings for various PAL and NTSC modes.
Thanks a lot for making this available for free.

Find Any File
(note to MacUpdate staff: Do _not_ post this as a new version - betas are not meant for this!)
PTMac
• A window called "Panorama Editor" gets its title bar stuck under the menu bar. This makes it impossible to drag it anywhere else.
• Some scrollbar handles have the wrong size (i.e. always minimum size, not proportional to the amount the window shows), giving a wrong impression of the full size image behind the window.
* Scrolling using the mouse's scroll wheel does not work (e.g. in the Source Images view)
• When auto-finding control points, it creates some temp files in my original picture's folder. that's simply not the right way to do it (there are official OS-provided temp folders for this kind of business!) - what if that folder is write-protected?
• Several annoyances with the Control Points editor:
•• The list does not show a vertial scroll bar when it should.
•• When selecting one point in the list, the actual points in the two pics are not shown in the zoomed views, making it hard to verify the points. Plus, there seems to be no way to hide the colored markers, making it again hard to verify the points.
Functionally, I am sure that this app is doing a good job. But the UI is a pain in many aspects. I'll keep looking for an app with a better working UI.

WavePad
It appears not to follow the most simple Mac UI guidelines, such as:
- Cannot drop a audio file onto the app to open the file.
- Cannot create a selection by first positioning the cursor at one end, then using a Shift-Click to define the other end.
- Once a selection has been made, one cannot simply drag either border to extend the selection, despite the cursor shape suggestion such an action.
- Version information in the Finder's "Info" window is wrong - it doesn't list the actual version number. Makes it difficult for reporting problems, comparing app version, etc.
Dear programmer, please make an effort to follow common Mac guidelines better, and we may have a winner. ;)
Anyways, thanks for making it available for free.

Find Any File
I don't know what others do on their birthdays, but I added some features to Find Any File:
- can now also search non-HFS formatted disks, although not as fast (i.e. the speed is comparable to EasyFind)
- added checkboxes in Results window to filter bundle contents and invisible items.
Before I release this as v1.0, I'd like to have it tested by a few more people than just me.
Any volunteers? Contact me, e.g. via my website (see "More Information" on the previous page)

Find Any File
Fixing this will take a few days, I am afraid. So, if you are using a G4 or G5 Mac, you're good as long as you do only search by names.
Check back in a few days - by then I hope to have a fix for PPC as well.
