Type: CommentsDate: 30 Jan 2007 14:40It's possible the menu item is just disappearing due to lack of screen space in Firefox.
Butler seems to support Firefox 1.5, haven't tested 2 yet.

Nothing to suggest, just wanted to let you know it isn't an Intel-specific thing.

Type: CommentsDate: 6 Jun 2006 14:30Just so people aren't fooled by this being listed under Freeware. It's not free to use the Shrook.com syncing feature, which costs a monthly subscription fee.
Still doesn't read an OPML file with group folders properly, and the dev hasn't responded to an email from three weeks ago.
I wouldn't bother with it since the only feature that set it apart (able to sync feeds with shrook server) now costs a subscription fee.
Back to Vienna for me.

Type: CommentsDate: 19 Mar 2006 22:14In case anyone else has the same problem, remove 'InterView.component' from your Library->QuickTime folder. This may fix the issue.

Thanks for nothing!

Type: ReviewDate: 19 Mar 2006 22:10Borked my QuickTime install. Every time I start up iChat, Yahoo Messenger, or anything else (iMovie) that uses a video source, there is a popup complaining that the 'Interview software was not installed correctly'
Switched to a different user, same problem.
Try to uninstall, but there's no uninstall option.
Means a reinstall of my system is in order.
Thanks a lot, EchoFX.
Again, THIS SOFTWARE WILL BREAK YOUR QUICKTIME CAPTURE AND THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY TO REMOVE IT.
Not only that, but you need a serial number to run this program, which you can get from their web site. Pure crap.
No support help on their site either, just an email address.

Type: CommentsDate: 22 Feb 2006 08:52If you set the finder option to 'show invisible and system files', work with some files, then turn it off again, it seems to make whole folders full of files disappear.
3 folders, each with between 8-30 jpg files in them. They all showed up as folders with 'No Items' in the Finder with hidden files turned off, but when I re-enabled hidden files with TinkerTool, they showed the files I knew were there.
These files were not modified in any way, other than being moved between partitions.
This has me very worried now, as I have to leave hidden files enabled or else possibly trash files that I didn't know were there.
How would they get the 'hidden' property on their own?
The filenames didn't have a dot in front or anything, and I have not run setfile on any of them.
Help!

Type: ReviewDate: 20 Feb 2006 05:04Forget about FileMatic, it costs money.
The point of this is to be free.
Hopefully the author releases the source soon. It's been 3 years since he said, "Soon.."

Type: CommentsDate: 5 Feb 2006 03:06Was fun for a while, but requires too much team organization to get anywhere. You can't advance by yourself. As well, too little development goes on to warrant the monthly fee.
Thank God for Animal Crossing.

Type: CommentsDate: 23 Jan 2006 22:18Combined with way over-the-top memory and CPU usage, frequent crashes and the inability to completely replace the Finder in some application's usage renders it useless for me.
The fact that it installs another product (one that modifies every Cocoa app I run on my system via an InputManager hack) is just rude. It doesn't matter what the payload is, it's the action behind it.
Not to mention the CPU/memory bloat

Read the linked article if you don't know about it. You might learn something.
Don't let companies install software without you agreeing to it!

The beta, available at the developer's forums, supports webcam.

Type: CommentsDate: 22 Jan 2006 19:45The best MSN program for the Mac is "aMSN". look for it on this site.
The beta, available at the developer's forums, supports webcam, works with my IceCam fine, and supports a lot more of the features that we would see if MS actually decided to make a decent Mac MSN client.
They don't, so aMSN it is.

Type: CommentsDate: 22 Jan 2006 19:34Too bad it installs software without letting you know.
See here for details:

A real shame, I was hoping they would kick iBlog and iWeb's butts, since iBlog sucks so much and iWeb doesn't do all it claims without a .mac account.

Type: CommentsDate: 21 Jan 2006 22:17I see they never updated the Jaguar version, effectively screwing anyone that bought and paid for this app and stayed with Jaguar.
Too many problems with files the Finder just accepts (pdfs mainly) and crashes a lot.
Looking very forward to FileRun. Found their site from TUAW:

Type: ReviewDate: 17 Jan 2006 22:42Using this to convert text files for reading on my first Palm, a Z22.
Works beautifully, I usually leave it open in the background with an alias in DragThing and FinderPop for quick conversions. My machine's a dual 450 G4 running 10.4.4.
I've converted RTFs and text files with no issues, haven't had a need to try HTML as of yet.
Would like it to convert PDFs and recover and convert the text from Safari .webarchive files.
Freeware rocks. Thanks for sharing.

Type: ReviewDate: 11 Dec 2005 08:09works great on a Dual 450 G4 w/2GB RAM, though a bit chunky. Tons of potential.
I really need a romeo plugin for this app.

Type: CommentsDate: 10 Dec 2005 19:18if you need help with Wordpress, go to wordpress.org and search.
if you want a desktop app you can blog with, use ecto. It's a ton better than iBlog and will let you blog to almost any blog service out there.
Good luck converting your posts, though. iBlog makes a mess of things.

Type: CommentsDate: 10 Dec 2005 19:17Stupidly, I paid for this app about a year ago, found that it doesn't handle most of the things that Wordpress (free web-based alternative) does (built-in RSS, Atom, podcasting feeds, feeds for separate topics, ability to post to blog from the web or an application, etc.)
Now I go to the site and find this:
"All 1.x updates are free to registered users and users of the dot mac version of iBlog."
So I assume this means that version 2 will cost current users to upgrade. What a joke. This guy had such a big chance from Apple, getting distributed on iDisk and publicity on .mac, but he never took advantage of it, instead choosing to let the program rot while other free alternatives pass it by.
What a load of crap, there's no way I'll be paying for another version of this dog of a program. Version 2 should be a free upgrade, just to somewhat make up for all the crap that iBlog users have had to deal with up till now.
As far as managing a blog, it fails miserably, with cryptic titles/file names for everything, making it impossible to take care of unless you do everything through the app's interface. Limited customizability, no built-in comments, I could go on, but I'd rather point you to wordpress.org or b2evolution.net and hope that other power users become aware of just how limited this app really is.
