DarkAdapted X | Feb 17 2008 |
BADGERB. This is a fantastic review and I use it daily because my cinema display is too bright at its lowest settings. I've got 3 wishes, though. Wish 1: "Total system integration", where the standard brightness sliders and keyshortcuts would allow me to seamlessly dim down from full power (monitor brightness at 100%, DarkAdapted off) down to - say - 0.05% (monitor brightness at minimum, DarkAdapted at 5%). Wish 2: some apps reset the gamma (like games playing at full-screen) and I would wish DA to prevent this. Wish 3: DarkAdapted contstantly takes away about 1% of my cpu without doing anything. I would love if it could go down to 0%.

Regarding #1, I have been trying for quite some time to control the backlight from within DarkAdapted, and have been unable to locate any system calls to do that. If anyone knows how, I'd like to know! :) Of course you can dim the *gamma* down to 0.00%, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you were asking. On #2, you can keep other programs from hijacking the gamma by setting DarkAdapted's preference to refresh the gamma setting every so often. This works for screen savers, too. About #3, DarkAdapted should remain at 0% CPU usage when it's in the background, and when it has not been set to periodically refresh the gamma values. If DarkAdapted is above 0% when in the background (and not refreshing the gamma), something unusual is going on. DarkAdapted isn't doing anything at idle time. | |

BADGERB. Just installed it for the first time, but crashes when opening chm-files here, too.

BADGERB. Crashes like crazy. I tried out version 16 17 and now 18, and they all crashed after only a few minutes of usage, in various moments. v18 just crashed on my a few minutes ago when I tried opening a disclosure triangle. For an application that should run hours if not days by itself in the background, this is simply a huge showstopper. I'm disappointed here.

BADGERB. Version 1.0.6 doesn't work anymore, since Pandora has changed the underlining player url. Hope a updated version is released soon.

SuperDuper! | May 1 2006 |
BADGERB. I used SuperDuper 2.1 once to backup/clone my harddisk to a diskimage on an external harddisk, but it will be the last time I tried. Backup took 3 hours that I couldn't use productive, and after I returned, it turned out that SuperDuper successfully performed its operation (as indicated in the log by the lines "Evaluated 457618 items occupying 66.29 GB (75089 directories, 377223 files, 5306 symlinks) | 05:08:11 PM | Info | Copied 532543 items totaling 65.88 GB (75065 directories, 377112 files, 80366 symlinks) | 05:08:11 PM | Info | Cloned 65.88 GB of data in 7496 seconds at an effective transfer rate of 9.00 MB/s" ), but then it encountered a minor error (it wasn't able to convert the resulting image to a read-only image), and so it subsequently deleted the whole backup. The log didn't even mention it, just this error apeared: "| 05:20:16 PM | Error | hdiutil: convert failed - Auf dem Gerät ist kein Platz verfügbar (no space left on device)" This is an outrage. A software that takes away so many hours should be programmed safe enough to not commit suicide and take its data with it. Furthermore, it looks like this app will need double the space on my already big main harddisc for the external backup harddisc (which is why the error was raised), and it needs this huge space just to perform one minor conversion at the end. I will move back to CCC now, which is awkward, but at least it fulfills its duty.

BOB_WEINER Have you contacted the developer? They are super responsive and are always ready to help.

MACGRUDER Um. This doesn't seem to be a SuperDuper issue. You were backing up to an image and that failed, plus the error of out-of-space. It's likely it's this which caused the problem, not SuperDuper. As for CCC. It's good, but it doesn't copy all the Meta-data.

SuperDuper! | Aug 7 2007 |
NICMART The problem with "no disk space" seems to be widespread, and often having nothing to do with the availability of space. It's hard to understand why SD would be written so that "no disk space" becomes an all-purpose explanation for failure, as it did when, during my copy of 54,000 files SD choked on 1 corrupted file. If there is a bad file, as the company suggested (probably correctly) to me, then why doesn't SD describe a problem with the file rather than offering a bogus explanation?

MACUPDATE ADMIN Been using SuperDuper for maybe a year or more with my PowerBook and MacBook Pro with external Firewire HDs. I've had no issues whatever, none.

Hey Folders! | Apr 25 2006 |
BADGERB. Doesn't colorizes custom folders (like the "music" folder with the note on it), aliases, documents or applications. Only colorizes "normal" folders. Would be great to have an app that colorizes everything.
