Breakaway

Aljuk commented on 13 Jan 2010

This app used to be able to force open itunes, a great feature. For some reason it doesn't do it anymore, but luckily I've found a previous version which does, so I'm going back to that one, and dumping this.

[Version 1.75b]

Sequel Pro

aljuk reviewed on 24 Jan 2009

Awesome, I'm loving it. Built in query tester / command line interface too. Really good.

No 10.4? That sucks.

Syrinx

No 10.4 support?

[Version 1.3]

Twitterrific

aljuk commented on 17 Dec 2008

I think I'll stick with version 2.1 - it works really well and it's free. Sounds like the more recent version has taken a wrong turn. Hourly adverts? Jeez, what's that all about...

[Version 3.1]

Zip Mac Files for PC

aljuk commented on 14 Dec 2008

I've never heard of DS files presenting a problem to windows users or had any issues with any files I've zipped for people who use windows. But I guess if those invisible files did create an issue for anyone I'd just delete any that were likely to get zipped before I did the zip. There are plenty of tools available for deleting those files, and plenty of different ways of viewing and accessing invisible files on the mac. i appreciate this s/w might be useful for someone, but personally I can't justify paying for something I can do in a couple of seconds with standard system tools.

Pity it doesn't work in 10.4

Perfect, and brilliant!

Thankyou.

MP3 Trimmer

aljuk commented on 12 Nov 2008

I must apologise for the inaccuracy in my review (see below). MP3 Trimmer DOES have switchable fade algorithms (I didn't realise the icons are switches).

Awesome. I've been editing out the dialogue and announcements from the music podcasts I subscribe to and the app is perfect. Great drag n drop too...

[Version 2.8.56]

MP3 Trimmer

aljuk reviewed on 08 Nov 2008

This is a very efficient app for top and tailing mp3s and adding auto-fades. It's entirely intuitive, quick in operation and a great solution. Highly recommended.

As a feature request I'd like to see some switchable auto-fade algorithms. The algorithm in use is a bit linear, and not very natural (ie. the tail is too long) at short settings. That addition would make this app perfect.

Extremely poorly designed auto update.
It tells me I'm due an update.
What it doesn't tell me is that the update is not compatible with my Mac, and that the new version won't work.
So, now, rather than a new and improved app, I have a broken waste of space on my hard drive.

Useless.

[Version 1.4.5]

Transmission

Aljuk had trouble on 08 Feb 2010

This is a great torrent client. However, its ability to display the status of peers / seeds (whether "interested", "choked" etc) is flakey. It occsionally works on hovering over an IP in the peer list, but 95% of the time it doesn't. Personally I use Peer Guardian to individually block IPs who don't seed, so from my perspective this is an important feature.

[Version 1.83]

LucisArt

this appears to be dead and the installer is non-functional. anyone know where I can get a copy?

[Version 2.1]

1Password

aljuk had trouble on 16 Apr 2009

Latest update has severe issues. App crashes everytime I try to open the "Unassigned" folder, forgets which website it's trying to log into etc. Constant crashes and freezes. I've been using this app since the beginning, and am currently feeling very disappointed in it. If I was a new customer, with the problems it seems to be having right now, I certainly wouldn't buy it.

VLC Media Player

can hardly play any .flv files that it used to play fine

VLC Media Player

aljuk had trouble on 15 Jan 2009

1. Picture buffering issues - black screen at start of movie, then picture appears with severe artefacts for a few seconds before settling down.

2. Picture freezes for a few seconds when movie is put to a different location (this has always been seamless previously).

3. Overlay of file name at start of movie file for several seconds (no real purpose and looks terrible).

Going back to a previous version.

Yeah I agree, stop and start works, but it never used to be necessary and is a total pain, especially if you want to rewind a bit and go over a particular line of dialogue a few times, in which event it's unuseable!

The disk image is corrupt.

Chmod Calculator

Every link to this on the web is dead.

Does anyone have a copy they could mail me? Please?

I could trade it for something or whatever.

I could email it or ftp it to you.
What address?

DomainTracker

It's no more. The domain is parked.

AllBookmarks

aljuk had trouble on 27 Aug 2008

Ok, silly me! I was deluded (and now it seems like I'm having a conversation with myself on here lol...) - this does NOT work for me with FF3! New Firefox bookmarks are NOT appearing in AllBookmarks. Unfortunately this makes this otherwise excellent app useless for me.

If the developer is reading this, I'd love to know if you'll be updating the app soon to make it compatible with FF3?
