FinderWindow

****.

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  Excellent little utility, automates tedious actions and provides workarounds to some annoyances in the Finder.

Thanks to the developer for making this free.

My only compliant is the rather overbearing icon included for the Finder's toolbar.

MISHA  The requirement is for the Snow Leopard version. We'll adjust this, though.

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  The website now confirms EasySpeak does indeed require Leopard, hopefully a MacUpdate admin will change the sys requirements to reflect this.

NeoOffice

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  I know about the email tracking feature, I was asking MacUpdate to track when the NeoOffice team released incremental patches instead of just major releases, which they now do, after I requested it.

LightMe
May 30 2007

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  Works on my 12" PowerBook running 10.4.9.

However I can't seem to make LightMe install at login.

I have to manually launch LightMe and click Activate Monitor Shortcuts every time I login, even after repeatedly clicking the Install At Login button.

I tried tossing the pref file and reinstalling the preference pane to no avail.

I would love to have this app work, any advice would be much appreciated.

NeoOffice
May 26 2007

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  To MacUpdate:

Would it be possible for you to report when the NeoOffice team releases patches, instead of just major releases?

NeoOffice 2.1 is already on Patch 5, and features many fixes/improvements since the initial 2.1 release. However currently I have to manually check the NeoOffice website to be notified of incremental updates.

I am considering becoming a paying member of MacUpdate, and detailed software tracking is very helpful in my occupation.

Mac OS X Daylight Saving Time Software Fix
Mar 7 2007

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  As this patch is needed only for Mac OS X 10.0-10.2.8, I would seriously suggest anyone still using these OS releases to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.3.9.

Yes there are machines that shouldn't or can't run Tiger, but any machine running 10.0-10.2.8 will run better and more securely with 10.3.9.

Plus, if you look around on Google for a few minutes you can find copies of Panther for as little as $29.

Mac OS X Daylight Saving Time Software Fix
Mar 8 2007

CULTURE OF ONE  Good idea, but sadly, not all of us can afford to upgrade. It's not as much the cost of the OS upgrade for me as the cost of upgrading all of my professional apps to work properly in 10.3.x or 10.4.x. Tiger and Panther aren't perfectly backward-compatible, and I can't afford to take a chance with the software I need for my business, nor can I justify the $1000s it would cost to upgrade all of my apps to the latest version. Maybe someday...

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  Unfortunately without multiprocessor support this application is useless as a benchmark tool when used on modern Macs.

*****

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  I am absolutely blown away. Best BitTorrent client for Mac OS X, hands down.

The 3D Swarm and Pieces views are impressive;

Gives you all the information you could ever need at your finger tips,

Great performance, very stable, dosen't crash or seem to have memory leak issues, like some other clients.

Now we just need a Universal version for our MacTel brethren.

iStat Pro
Feb 21 2006

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  Best widget of its type I've seen, just two feature requests for iStat pro that are present in iStat nano.

First have the ability to display processor activity separately, rather then averaging the stats/graph together in multiprocessor systems.

Secondly have the option to display the temperature settings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Thanks for the Widget guys, keep up the great work!
