Alarm Clock

Dualie reviewed on 28 Dec 2011

I've been using this for years. You can't get much better than this for donation-ware. It's better than basic, and very convenient. It also hasn't been updated in a very long time, probably because it works just fine even in Lion. It simply does everything I need simply.

Doesn't support Firefox 8 and above.

SlingPlayer Plugin

Dualie reviewed on 27 Nov 2011

The newest version is 3.3.9.205. You might have to delete the old plugin, located in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, before installing this new version as the installer doesn't appear to correctly overwrite the old one.

There doesn't appear to any improvement whatsoever over the previous version. The plug-in still doesn't work properly with a second display; it will only go full screen on the main monitor (the one with the menu bar), and even if you switch to the menu bar to the second display (using a utility such as SwitchRes) it still won't be centered properly in full screen.
There is also a problem with the aspect ratio. You can't re-size the view without distorting the image instead of simply clipping it as would happen in the old Slinbox client.
The is overall a poor effort, with little attention given to functional detail.
I'm actually lowering my rating as there appears to have been to effort to correct glaring issues.
Stick with the old application, even though the image quality will suffer a little.

I have no trouble running it in 64bit mode, but I DO have issues with full screen mode, which apparently only works on main screen, and won't scale properly in the browser window so it's off center. It also doesn't allow for very low quality connections, such as I like to use when I'm using my 3G card on my MBP. It does appear to provide a slightly improved picture over the application, but the desktop app allows for more customization of the stream.
Overall, I find this provides only moderate benefit over the old application, and only if you have a very fast connection.

Suitcase Fusion 3

Dualie reviewed on 14 Sep 2011

I am happy (ecstatic actually) that version 14.1.0 (218) finally adds the ability to hide the infernal Font Preview pane, AND there is no longer a preference pane. The core can be restarted from preferences within the app. These improvements restore Suitcase to full, reliable, fast, functionality. There are other updates/changes as well.

Yay!

A whole 30 days backward licensing. How very generous of you.
I wasn't happy with the cost of the last expensive upgrade, but I held out as long as browser security and OS upgrades would allow. Finally, having little choice I bit the bullet and upgraded — barely two months ago.
Now I have to fork over another $20 for an upgrade that only runs in Lion (a $30 OS), only through the Mickey Mouse MAS, and still no compatibility with FF6 (in Snow Leopard).
How long did it take you to make these decisions? Not long I bet.
It really is time to shop for another solution. Agile seems not to care about customer loyalty. One half star for "Value" considering the high cost of continual upgrades, the MAS limitation, and lack of support for FF6+.

Citrix Receiver

Dualie reviewed on 02 Sep 2011

This is the replacement for the old Citrix Client, but in many ways it's far worse. For example, it doesn't work with dual monitors unless the left monitor is the main monitor. Is that some kind of programming joke?

Horrid software. Ugly interface. Poorly implemented.

Snagit

This has nothing whatsoever to do with my old donation-ware app SnagWindow.

It's too expensive.

The App Store is firewall blocked here at the office, so I guess I won't be trying this out.

Cyberduck

Dualie had trouble on 31 Aug 2011

Version 4.1.2 is hanging after downloading, necessitating a force quit.

Version 4.1 is available here:

Cyberduck

Dualie had trouble on 03 May 2011

Running Cyberduck 4.0.2 in OS X 10.6.7. Cyberduck won't launch. It bounces once in the dock and then nothing. I have tried disabling all adds-on, running in a clean user account, trashing preferences and bookmarks, but nothing works. It runs fine on another Mac with same versions.

Turned out to be a Java version issue.
