Camouflage

le-macinfo reviewed on 21 Feb 2011

Great little helper to hide icons on a cluttered desktop. A feature that set's it apart similar tools is a shortcut (mouse click on the desktop) to show your desktop content inside a new Finder window.

To round it off I would suggest the following additions:

- make the menu bar item optional (the show/hide state info appears not that important to me, altough some might be other opinion)

- make a "alt-click" on the desktop hiding the frontmost app's windows like in normal finder operation

BTW: DesktopSweeper (APE module) has those 2 features, but doesn't work in Snow Leopard anymore.

[Version 1.25]

Delivery Status

I did prefer the former simpler graphics of the dashboard widget, is there a way go get back to these more minimalistic looking plates?

[Version 5.0.2]

WebArchive Extractor

le-macinfo reviewed on 12 Nov 2008

Great little application! It perfectly expanded some intricate eBay-webarchive files, which WebArchive Folderizer (1.2.5) didn't.

[Version 0.6]

Overlay

Seems to be a interesting tool. Shame, that nobody else thought about how useful something like this could be, before. So, kudos to the developer!

[Version 1.0.30]

DownloadComment

le-macinfo commented on 21 Feb 2008

DownloadComment is great because it also puts the download path in the file comment if you drag&drop some file (e.g. an image) into your finder windows or to the desktop!

Therefore: Great little helper!

[Version 1.2.1]

DesktopSweeper

le-macinfo commented on 16 Jan 2008

I hope we will see a new version of APE working on Leopard soon, so we can get DesktopSweeper running there too!

I think, still no other "hide-icons-on-desktop" comes close to it, neither in simplicity nor in speed.

[Version 1.3]

3ivx MPEG-4

le-macinfo reviewed on 23 Aug 2007

I advise anyone to be cautious with this codec, although this codec has a long development cycle and some good features, I think it makes more problems than it solves.

Let's take for example this QuickTime encoded MPEG-4 video:

http://de.m-audio.com/images/global/videos/88sxMG.mov

if I have 3ivx installed on my MDD Dual G4 it crashes the host application (QuickTime Player, Safari, etc.) when opening the movie! When I remove the 3ivx codec, it plays nicely.

[Version 5.0.1]

WakeTime

Download Link not valid right now?!

[Version 1.0.2]

gDisk

le-macinfo commented on 28 Aug 2006

Most recent version doesn't work for me. Although it does upload files to the GMail account, I can't see or access them from within gDisk. If I check my account via the web frontend all uploaded files are there.

[Version 0.5]

Laughing Man

le-macinfo reviewed on 28 Jan 2006

This app show some promise. But it fails on web pages with dynamic banner ads, etc. (rotating banner ads fool the app into thinking of a web site change, even though you put on "ignore images", because the underlying ad-rotation-code also makes little changes to the incoming html code!)

[Version 1.0]

Transmission

le-macinfo had trouble on 18 Feb 2009

I don't know why, but in almost every other release of Transmission, the "magnifying glass" button doesn't work (it normally should bring up the finder and open the window where the downloaded file is located).

And v1.50 again is a "other" release. ;-(

Sorry, I really like Transmission for it's sleekness, but this one drives me crazy.

Running v1.50 on OS X 10.4.11 (Intel).

[Version 1.50]
