Path Finder
Clakes commented on 30 Dec 2011
NYE approaching, and feeling like commenting on the software which made my 2011: PATH FINDER is the big one.

I mostly feel with El-Duderino's complaints, but I also must say that PF is a a must-have on the Mac. Tiger thru Lion, I can't live with it, despite everything. Bug me with it.
As much as I can't live without Forklift for drople(f)ts and stuff...

And this is both congratulations and a keep-working-on-bugs NYE to devs. =))*

KeyCue
Clakes commented on 30 Jun 2011
I've got KeyCue along with a killer MacUpdate Bundle 2 years ago, thinking "hey, nice bonus!"

Well, today I've tried to upgrade to 5.3 for the changelog had some interesting points, just to find out that free upgrades last exactly... 2 years!

Now, pretend you forget about the bundle super-discount I've got for a few seconds: the price is steep enough for such a - yet useful and nicely designed - utility.

Still, I find unreasonable to pay 9.99$ for updating a (lovely) utility I've honestly and barely used 2 times in 2 years.
Oh... And I _am_ a keyboard shortcut freak, believe me. Sorry.

Keep up the great job, Ergonis, but please accept my suggestion to revise your purchase/upgrade policy.

SimpleToDo
Clakes commented on 09 Jun 2011
You'd think my comment comes "late", and for a reason.

Still, I'd like to point out my reasons for commenting such a useful minimalistic application now.

I love SimpleToDo interface.
I still use it (10.6.7) and I intend to keep using it.

Sadly enough, it appears like we're witnessing the death of simple to do's.
This is really sad.

Both SimpleToDo and Anxiety (two little free gems) aren't actively developed anymore.
Both because (it's just my guess) maybe free coding isn't worth the hassle (devs should tell in the end, and again, it's just my guess) and because commercial apps to the likes of OmniFocus (which I do use to manage wider projects) are swallowing the whole market
.
Now, what with a nice simple free (or cheap) list-app? Am I really bound to... er... TextEdit?

Sad. And worrying in a way, I might add...

QuickPick
Clakes commented on 12 Jan 2011
it does look like an interesting and fresh idea of a launcher application.

how about making a free demo available demo though?! =
come on guys, this stands for more or less 99% of current software policy!

Vox

Clakes reviewed on 07 Jan 2011
Excellent app, for an excellent price!
Definitely "the" player for my frequent "just open it" needs, and the "play all tunes in the folder" is a great added value.

Lacks of keyboard shortcuts I'd say and yes, oh please, window position remembering...!
Other than this, it's just perfect to me.

Indeed it doesn't load the pref pane.
Quite disappointing... =(

Name Mangler

Clakes reviewed on 02 Jun 2010
Droplets, Get Finder and _Path Finder_ selection, Advanced Tagging... Wow.

As someone noticed in competitor's board, it's a one trick pony.
True.
But in this case (and in most of the software I love) being a one-trick pony means "does that thing I want it to do / does it the best and most flexible way / does it in style".

Look no further.

MacPilot
Clakes commented on 24 Apr 2010
Well...
Paid upgrades are a pain to me these times, but hey...
7€ something for bridging to version 4 can be afforded.

MacPilot is still the best, most comprehensive tweaking tool for the Mac.
Unrivaled, unparalleled.

Shelling the amount while almost smiling. =)
Thank you for the lovely software, Koingo!

LiteSwitch X

YES!!

I love LiteSwitch. It's a conditio sine qua non on my Macs.

MiniMail
Clakes commented on 28 Aug 2009
Haven't had serious issues with MiniMail so far, apart from an occasional with the full pop-up window suddendly shrinking to a hardly-enlargeable microwindow.

All in all, it's hot software, and I deeply love it.

Snow Leopard support is in progress according to the forums: c'mon guys!

Dock Gone
Clakes had trouble on 06 Apr 2010
I truly love Dock Gone.
It really keeps me from swearing at times when I'm nervously tweaking fullscreen applications on stage such as Ableton Live and Modul8. Those are the times when you really don't want the Dock to pop-up, believe me!

I'm experiencing a weird issue though.
The background process (DockGoneBG) only appears to start as soon as I enter Dock Gone's Preference Pane, but fails to automatically start at login.
Can't say whether this appeared in the last Mac OS X update, but I think I had the same problem with 10.6.2...

MBP5,2 running Mac OS X.6.3... and... Quite a lot of login items? (this shouldn't be a cause for DG not to launch tough).

Bonjour Mounter
Clakes had trouble on 02 Aug 2009
Hm.. It doesn't seem to work with Gizzie, my 3.0 jailbroken iPhone 3GS sporting Netatalk.
Pretty weird since all other file browsers show the volume just fine.

Here's the console output:

2009-08-02 11:20:15.923 Bonjour Mounter[350:2f03] Wait Over for for :Host:Gizzie Mount:/
2009-08-02 11:20:15.932 Bonjour Mounter[350:2f03] mount failed for server afp://Gizzie:548//, error == -36
2009-08-02 11:20:29.980 Bonjour Mounter[350:2f03] mount failed for server afp://10.0.1.3:548//, error == -43
2009-08-02 11:20:29.981 Bonjour Mounter[350:2f03] Mount Operation Finished for :Host:Gizzie Mount:/

Any help appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the reminder Sandro!
My stupid bad mistake. "root" was quite obviosly the mount point: the 99% work on a Mac made me think it was "/". =/

As a side note: I'm using Bonjour Mounter for wirelessly syncing documents to my iPhone for road use with iStorage. ChronoSync's scheduler handles the job of automatically starting the sync-up as soon as my jailbroken iPhone mounts as a Bonjour network drive via Netatalk.

From this point of view, an option to "Mount All at Startup" (a delay would be necessary I guess) would be the most welcome added feature/option in BM's preferences, so that the phone sync-up would start as soon as I log in or start my Mac up without even a mouse-click! =)
You'd be my hero then, and would donate with the utmost pleasure (although, well, guess I will soon anyways if I keep on with this use of mine).

Love,
Francesco

Hoping for a asap.
