iTweax
Aug 28 2009

ALGOS  I don't understand. I downloaded iTweax 2.0 yesterday from MU, and it seems to work fine on Leopard. Now the description says Leopard users have to use 1.2.8?

IVC DEVELOPER  To be more clear:

iTweaX 2.x is specially for OS X 10.6 or later and off-course Intel only

iTweaX 1.2.8 is for OS X 10.5.x and UB

BTW iTweaX 2.0 didn't test which OS you are running. This bug is fixed in 2.0.1

ALGOS  Wonderful, all these so-called reviews which end up in war between Safari and Firefox users... Why just not use what you like best and let the rest do that as well? What do you care what someone else uses?

Flip4Mac WMV Player
Jun 12 2009

ALGOS  I think he means it locks up. Does the same on my MacBook running 10.5.7. I have all sorts of trouble since updating. Safari hangs when I play movies, and iTunes hangs when I try to play something. When System Preferences, Safari or iTunes hangs I can't even force quit it and I have to hard reboot my machine. Machine was running perfectly until I updated Flip4Mac.

ALGOS  When launching it, it shows this:

"Thanks for helping us beta test Firefox 3.0.9. As a member of the Firefox 3 Beta Tester group, you get updates before they're released to the general public."

So this would be a 3.0.9 beta, and should probably not be posted on macupdate...

ALGOS  Well, Logic, Pro Tools & Ableton Live are not really dedicated audio editors, but you could do some stuff in there. If you only want to edit audiofiles they're expensive options though.

Still, you have a fair amount of options, including some which you mentioned, plus DSP Quattro (there should be a v3 in the making, version 2.5 works fine for me though) and even Audacity for some basic stuff.

ALGOS  If you want to change Safari 4 back to the old look, want to disable the topsites feature, restore the blue progress bar or more, check http://pastie.textmate.org/398861. You can change Safari 4 back to look exactly like 3.2.1. I expect these options to be in Tinkertool/Onyx/Secrets etcetera soon.

ALGOS  For people that don't like the installer, you can command-click (or right-click) on the installer file and choose 'Show Package Contents'. If you then browse to 'Contents/Resources/Payload/Stuffit' you will find the application, which you can then drag and drop to your location of choice.

fruux
Oct 7 2008

ALGOS  The people who develop Fruux don't mention anywhere this is an MobileMe alternative. So where did you get this info?

For me it has worked great, since I don't need the storage or an email address of MobileMe. If you need only the syncing of the things that Fruux does, it's absolutely awesome. It has worked fine for me and I am very happy with it.

Plus, it's developed totally free for us to use, so I find your rant here VERY rude. You should be thankful for free stuff, and if it doesn't fit your needs don't use it. If it doesn't work for you, that doesn't mean it won't work for others.

ALGOS  Very nice, the only thing I don't like about it is that it hijacks the Finder while active. This is especially annoying when you are creating very big dmg's, since you can't use the Finder while it is working...

****.

ALGOS  I love this little prefpane. Helps just a bit to keep your system somewhat more clean. As said before, it only sometimes misses out on the fact that it is a Sparkle update.

I also would like something like an exception list, so that you never see the warning for specific apps.
