Hear
Ffass commented on 09 Aug 2010
Just installed so I don't want to rate just yet. But it's working good for me, except for saving my own presets (doesn't work for me). I'm OK with some of the existing presets, so it'll work for me. $50 price is steep but I used the competitive upgrade (had a SRS iWow registration #) so it only cost me $20. Audio is vastly improved...so rich and full now!! Better than that iWow plugin I was using. Now I can have richer audio when using MOG (via FireFox).

1.5.8 CRASHES ON START UP

Well, this s*cks. I paid for the upgrade from 1.0 to 1.5, installed everything as indicated, and now it crashes on start up. I'm using a 2006 Mac Pro running 10.6.2. I've tried all the crash-prevention suggestions (such as deleting the preference file, etc.) in the MacSpeech Forums but nothing works. You're welcome to risk an upgrade yourself but you may want to wait 'til I hear back from MacSpeech tech support (I email my crash reports to them). I'll post any feedback they send me here.

Blackout

Ffass reviewed on 19 Feb 2010
Update to my previous review:
there's an option to set a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the brightness without quitting Blackout, so that's good. Pretty much addresses my issues in another way, so I'll this 4 stars.

Hey MacUpdate: allow reviewers to revise their posted reviews!

Blackout

Ffass reviewed on 19 Feb 2010
Works fine but minimum/maximum brightness settings need obvious changes:

1) MINIMUM BRIGHTNESS SETTING. Nothing worse than accidently sliding a brightness setting to the mininim setting (which is 100% black) and then releasing the slider. Do that and your only option may be to invoke "Force Quit" and then blindly quit your running apps one-by-one 'til Blackout is quit. The minimum brightness setting should be selectable in the preferences settings.

2) MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS SETTING. Currently the maximum brightness setting is something like 85% or so. This means that you have to quit Blackout if you momentarily need to have full screen brightness. The maximum brightness setting should be "OFF", or full brightness.

Also, though not essential it would be nice to have user-defined keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease brightness.

Firefox
ffass commented on 27 Mar 2009
Previous post had complaints about missing features in Firefox. Must be a newby. The basics: Firefox uses extensions to fill in feature gaps. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Add-ons". Here's what you need:

1) To save full webpages download the extension called "Scrapbook" - it's similar to IE's Scrapbook feature in that it'll save the pages in a list within Firefox. Has ability to save full web pages internally in Folders, while keeping all the links in your saved pages clickable. Be sure to save your Scrapbook to a folder outside of your Firefox Profile folder in case you ever need to delete your profile folder to start fresh with Firefox. I saved my Scrapbook in a folder I named "Firefox Scrapbook" inside of my Documents folder. Note: you'll need to check "Enable Multi-scrapbook" in Scrapbook's options menu to be able to save your Scrapbook to another location. This is a fantastic extension that always works flawlessly for me.

2) To resize the text size, get extension "Zoom Toolbar" - this actually zooms the whole webpage larger, but I actually prefer that to just enlarging the text.

Smart Scroll
ffass commented on 24 Nov 2008
Grab Scroll does not work with Firefox 3.0.4. I have this setting: checked "Grab Scroll with:" and have selected "Keyboard + Primary Button" and Shift / tap Option selected. Any key combination option does not work. I did a fresh install of Firefox and it still doesn't work.

ImageWell

ffass reviewed on 10 Nov 2008
ImageWell works great for my needs. It's a WYSIWYG resizer, so you can see your image resize as you drag a slider. I've used many of it's features: adding borders & text to images, grouping multiple jpegs together to make a single jpeg, and even adding cartoon speech balloons. It can also save your PDF and PSD docs as jpeg, tiff, or png files. There's a bit of a learning curve to use all of it's features so maybe there's a way the developer can simplify the controls or make the controls more obvious (maybe use an inspector palette so the controls are always visible somewhere). Well worth the $20 since I use it quite often.

Edgies
ffass commented on 24 Jun 2008
I have one problem with this app: new Edgies notes are created when I click at the screen edge. Setting the preferences to disable this feature does not stop the action. I deleted the preferences file but the problem persists. I have a dual monitor set-up on a MacPro, with all the latest Apple updates. This one problem makes this app unusable for me.

WindowShade X
ffass commented on 26 Feb 2008
Stable and no weirdness using this beta version on my Mac Pro (OS 10.5.2). I also have FruitMenu, Silk, and FontCard installed...so far nothing to report except possibly a bit longer start up time for apps in general, but I think that's to be expected.
