AppDelete
Soundman commented on 10 Feb 2012
Could, should, would. AppDelete is not meant to be the definitive uninstaller, as Uninstaller.app is.
That said, it is a great convenience and for Apple guideline apps that don't have hidden files in low level folders, and generally leave traces, like turds, all over the OS, it saves lots of time. If you really know how to set it up, it just does it's job. Yeah, always room for improvement, but unless a developer leaves an updated and frank blog, you don't know jack about the circumstances surrounding an app's development cycle.

p.s. some apps have to install files and packages (plugins, frameworks, input this and startup that, kexts, and blah, blah. This makes certain apps what they are, and we love them, despite the fact that apple does not support em.

Bean

Soundman reviewed on 07 Nov 2011
Please tell me that the new icon is a coffee bean and not a generic bean - cause beans make me fart and that was my 1st gut reaction when I 1st saw the icon. Definitely am into the old one.
That said, my real problem with the new beta is that it no longer opens html files! Whats with that? Please tell me it is a glitch and not done with malice. You see, its a breeze to open an html in Bean and then from the apple menubar use TextSoap to extract the text....all in Bean.
But now....the only solace I have is another cup of Java....er..java.

Adobe Flash Player
Soundman commented on 04 Oct 2011
Yeah, the flash pref pane changes my settings on it everytime I close Firefox. Next time I open the browser, the flash settings are reset to default. That is because I have an add-on that deletes all the damn supercookies. They need to have a pref pane that doesn't rely on supercookies.
The war for privacy never lets up.

I use Perfect Privacy to delete supercookies automatically. You set it up to delete ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support

Another good option is the standalone app, NetShred X.
Remember, if you set it up to delete the crap, you need to reset the Flash prefpane as a preliminary to opening Firefox each time.
It's awkward, but works.

1Password
Soundman commented on 18 Aug 2011
Using 10.6.8 with FireFox 6. This latest update changes the 1password menubar tool. The GUI is ok but I liked the old one better.
But the thing is I can't get it to save new logins. It's got a funny preferences window that opens and I specified to save logins but, I don't know, it doesn't. Fix? Aaarrggh!

Adobe Flash Player

Soundman reviewed on 29 Jun 2011
Hey guys, has anyone noticed that the current version (and at least the previous version) of Flash resets its preferance pane settings. I'm not sure if it resets when you close the browser or when the computer enters sleep mode (probably the former).
So what I'm doing is, at the start of every browser session I reset the prefs my way. Otherwise Flash automatically compromises computer security, which is a no-no.

SonicMood

Soundman reviewed on 06 May 2011
Just want to comment on how much I enjoy using SonicMood. Have had it for several years and consistantly enjoy hearing its soft, peaceful sounds while working on this project or the other. This latest update is mind boggling and one can see that with the developer, it is a labor of love. Less noise pollution - more sonic refreshment!

Just wanted to write that after many years of trying many unarchiving apps,shareware and free, I made keka my default app, I guess around a year ago.....I just like it....unlike some other apps, it doesn't hassle me.
Thanks developer!

Rohos Logon Key
soundman commented on 29 Nov 2008
IMHO, this app. is unusable in it's current state. I bought a license but after finding out that the app. leaves sensitive info (usb key id #) in log files and also some worrisome info in the system log ( something to do with Rohos and the net, though the devs. swear that Rohos sends nothing over the web, they don't explain further and, well ,check out the bloody sys log when the app. is open.Uninstalled app. manually, their uninstall app. crashed upon opening, everything and I mean everything to do with app. Now, when I reboot with comman-option-eject, I get a blank screen with the Rohos icon and a password entry slot. I have no boot options. I can only get back into originating volume. Also single user mode doesn't work.

Had high hopes for the app. but these guys need to put more work into it.

This is for the previous version but devs. don't mention any fixes the my problems in 1.4.2

iTubeX
soundman commented on 24 Jun 2008
Yes, this morning, the only thing Safari will download is a file named, 27604.html, which is a redirect back to the iTubex page on MacUpdate.

I've seen this behavior on a number of app. pages in the past. What I normally do is go to developer's website and download from there. But your website has a redirect back to MacUpdate....Catch 3.7!

Great app. - previous version seemed a little buggy, so I was looking forward to this release. I will definitely purchase at some point.

P.S. I have a pretty normal setup with Safari. Have downloaded hundreds of apps. from MacUpdate in the past.
Best, M
