Skype
Oct 16 2009
*....

ALAN  I'm not updating my Skype to 2.8 until they fix the following bug:

During the audio/video call, if for some reason it gets disconnected, the call window does not go away, thus preventing the party on the other end from being able to call me back.

I've contacted Skype via so many sources but never seem to get a response from them. So frustrating that I'm about to give up on ever trying to contact big companies again. They never listen!

ROBOTANK  That's right. The current stable branch is 3.0.x. Firefox 3.5 was originally going to be numbered 3.1, but due to the degree of changes from 3.0, they decided to bump the version number to 3.5, starting with beta 4, so it will better reflect the scope of the changes between the two versions.

G7  You have to select "File" (not "FTP") above the buttons and click "Share". Then you need to specify the folder for shared files, where Jing saves the captured movies from now on. As the movies are saved in SWF format, you will propably want to download Flash Player Projector to open them. Just google for "Flash Player Standalone".

Saft
Oct 30 2007

WRELEVEN  Nope, $6.00 upgrade to the new version unless you've recently purchased Saft Tiger. The new leopard version works, but it's of a strange way to launch Safari to say the least.

I kinda wonder why something like Inquisitor works fine with the updated permissions fix but Saft now needs a loader to launch Safari each session.

Weather Underground Widget
Jul 31 2007

ALAN  superb weather widget but the following:

i've got 2 of them open on my dashboard, and the glitch is in the simultaneous updating whenever launching dashboard, i.e., i have to launch it 4 times for the weather widgets to be properly updated: the first launch updates the temperature on the first widget, the second launch updates the temperature on the second widget, the third launch updates the image of the sun/moon on the first widget, and, finally, the fourth launch updates the image on the second one.

i hope the explanation was clear enough.

Suggestion: can the next release feature something like 'separators' within folders? It's useful for us who hold loads and loads of files and would like to separate them into different categories (besides name-size-date view).

Nevertheless, Transmit is the best.
