BBEdit

Fabro reviewed on 20 Jul 2011
I'm really disappointed by this new version.
I am a long time user of BBedit (since the OS9 age), I still think it's the best text editor for Mac and I've been anxiously waiting for version 10 hoping it would bring us some new and useful features along with a redesigned and modernized interface, but I see that there are no notable changes and that some of the new "100+ new features" made BBEdit 10 worse than 9.6 under some aspects.
Just two examples:
It would be great if BBEdit could highlight which tag or parenthesis/brace I am opening or closing when I place the cursor near them: Coda and TextMate do it from a long time but BBEdit 10 still insists with the "no fuss - all manual" philosophy.
On the other end, I find that the new project/file view is not good at all when compared to the BBEdit 9 project view with its open documents drawer.
After all BBEdit 10 is not worth its 40$ upgrade fee, so I will stay with the good "old" 9.6.3.

NTFS-3G
Fabro commented on 29 Dec 2010
Don't know why, but the download link points just to the source files (which I failed to compile on my iMac running 10.6.5 because configure complains that "pkg-config wasn't found").
A link to the dmg file containing the installer would be much more useful, here it is for the actual version:

Would be useful, but it has big problems with recursive copies and deletes so I can't use it to copy some stuff from my iPhone to my iPad.

Postbox

Fabro reviewed on 11 Dec 2010
I was using Thunderbird 3.1 but this looks like a valid alternative and worth its money, despite having the same base/DNA Postbox has many improvements over Thunderbird.
I have it in trial mode for a few weeks to better test its ease of use and features and also to check how stable it is, then I will eventually purchase a license.

I already had the Compact Header and also the QuickText extensions on my Thunderbird 3.1 setup, but I see that Postbox does much than that, in particular the excellent "Summarize" function and the ability to group all messages of a thread even when they span multiple folders.
Today I also gave a quick look at Thunderbird 3.3a2 but I actually see no relevant change when compared to 3.1.

File Buddy

Fabro reviewed on 27 Sep 2009
This app used to be very useful, a rela timesaver up to Mac OS X 10.4 but with Leopard the first problems appeared and with Snow Leopard I find it almost unusable for what I do (dragging files/folders from the Finder to the File Buddy icon).
I'm posting my problems here because I wrote to the develeopers two weeks ago but I got no answer:

I have to report several issues I am experiencing with File Buddy, most of them regarding Snow Leopard (I actually have Mac OS X 10.6.1) and some even Leopard. I have a MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz with 4 Gb RAM.

- Under Snow Leopard, dragging one or more file/folder to the File Buddy icon has no effect. My default option is to open the dropped items in a new list window, and I also have the drop keys set so that Cmd-dragging a file/folder I should get the File Buddy Info window. Nothing happens either when I drop or Cmd-drop a Finder item in File Buddy icon, I have to manually open a new List window in File Buddy and drop the files/folders there.
- Droplets no longer work, this happened with Leopard and of course they neither work with Snow Leopard.
- File Buddy preferences are no longer saved: for example, if i change the default drop action from "View in list" to "Get Info" when I launch again FileBuddy I still have the old option set.
- The File Buddy contextual menu is gone under Snow Leopard. Under Leopard I still had it in a "Other" submenu of the Finder contextual menu.

Moreover, I have a very annoying problem with my serial number: one year ago I changed my PowerBook G4 for a MacBook Pro, and now every 1-2 weeks File buddy complains that it is in demo mode and I have to enter my serial number again. The first time I also had to put the date of my MacBook Pro back to a few days after the purchase of my license and reboot to enter my legally owned serial because File Buddy told me it had expired ... yet more annoying!

MobileSyncBrowser

Fabro reviewed on 22 Nov 2008
I am a registered user but the last 3 updates of this app keep crashing when I launch it.
The last one continues to crash even if I delete the file "MobileSyncBroswer Data" from my Documents folder and also all the app's preferences.
Moving it to the trash.

Fabro commented on 07 Jun 2008
Useful utility if you own an iPhone and want to have on your Mac a log onf your calls and SMS, but I can't understand why separate app bundles for PowerPC and Intel, even the app's name changes with the architecture.
Such a small app shouldn't have cpu-specific instructions, so why the developer doesn't build it as an universal binary app?

Can you please fix this?

CHM Viewer

Why the app is no longer available for download, neither from the developer's web site?
I needed it for a reinstall of my Mac (I paid for it) but I can't find it.
