MagicPrefs
Pachec commented on 05 Feb 2011
Warning: There is an undocumented but known bug in the latest stable release (1.9.3), in which MagicPrefs interferes with the trackpad of recent MacBooks in some circumstances. See, e.g.,
http://getsatisfaction.com/magicprefs/topics/macbook_trackpad_and_magicprefs
or
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2650304
for more information. If your trackpad acts strangely, try to disable MagicPrefs (and blame the developer for not warning you).

Adobe Reader

If you want to save a form filled with Adobe Reader (not just print it, as Adobe want force you to do), use CUPS-PDF [url]http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20219[/url]
[Version 8.0]

Dockless

pachec reviewed on 13 Jan 2006
Excellent small utility. It let you remove easily the dock icon of applications which should never have had an icon in the Dock (HardwareGrowler [in Growl:Extras], LaunchBar, ...) But it is easy to misuse it if you are careless:

WARNING 1. Dockless not only removes the dock icon, but also the menu bar. (Do read the ReadMe file!) Moreover, in some cases (when you log out...), the system could let a dockless (and menuless) application quit without warning you. Therefore, do not use Dockless with any app!

WARNING 2. Hiding dock icon and menu of an application does not affect you only, but every user (you cannot hide dock & menu for one user only).

WARNING 3. Dockless seems to not work properly with some apps (e.g., Preview.app, as noted in a previous review).
[Version 1.3.3]

LaunchBar

You can remove LaunchBar icon from the dock with Dockless:

BUT, BEFORE DOING THAT, read carefully the "Important Note" in the LauchBar Help, section "Tips & Tricks".

AlphaX

pachec reviewed on 09 Jan 2006
AlphaX is an excellent, highly customizable editor, especially for programming. But real customization is hard if you haven't good programming skill.

However, a very important lacking feature is encoding support: presently, only macRoman is supported; therefore AlphaX is hardly usable for files using other encodings.

Latest versions of AlphaX for Panther and Jaguar can be found at:

Cyberduck

pachec reviewed on 17 Dec 2005
Excellent (S)FTP client. A interesting feature "forgotten" in the previous reviews is its Growl support.
[Version 2.5.2]
