Schmierzettel
Feb 22 2009

RUBAIYAT  Schmier means to smear and zettel is just a piece of (worthless) paper. Schmier also has a secondary meaning of to grease so becomes like bribe. The combination may have some colloquial meaning which escapes me. Sounds very Yiddish to me.

It seems to be like Fresszettel a southern German expression for a scrap of notepaper.

As a tradename I think it leaves a lot to be desired in both English and German.

Schmierzettel
Feb 23 2009

PANTHERA  I found this... it seems to mean time consumed by evaluating or considering items that weren't initially considered, but wound up having to (or something like that). Perhaps someone from Germany can weigh in.

"The biggest challenge was definitely the validation unit, as there appeared so many (special) cases I did not think of in the first place, but which had to be considered. This parttook most of the time of my project and consumed a considerable amount of what in German is called a Schmierzettel.

Feb 23 2009

$IR M.  "scrap of paper for jotting notes".

With Gruber's thoughts on "frictionless" interfaces (http://daringfireball.net/2009/02/untitled_document_syndrome) still fresh in mind, I could easily appreciate the appeal of a simplified outliner (especially if lightweight, responsive and standards-compliant).

But I second a previous poster: there's too much disconnect between the app's apparent slickness vs. its name's perceived clunkiness (at least, in English). Maybe unused synonyms for "outline" (i.e. précis, gist, or synopsis) could be explored -- "Synopsis 1.0" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

$IR M.  It's not about dissing other languages! I'm glad this comment arrived now, as just the other day I happened to be reviewing "lightweight to-do list" software and recently remembered seeing an app that could've worked for that ... except its oddly unmemorable name made it impossible to search for. (Ah yes: "Schmierzettel"! Too late now...)

Don't change the name for ideology -- consider changing it for practicality. I could've written this in German, Spanish, or even (for practice) the Russian I'm currently studying, but chose English in order to get my message across, since both the MacUpdate boards, and the software itself, are mainly in this language.

Maybe if there's enough demand, MU could add a localizing feature to their comments section!

Worth a try if the email is really not working.

CA  When I wrote "the interface needs to be 'polished'", I meant I found the white folders not very nice and not very Mac-y. They're blue now. That was just my 2 cents.

Opera
Jun 28 2006
****½

CA  Mixed feelings…

Much better than Opera 8.x. But does a browser really need a mail feature when we have Mail.app, which is excellent? The BitTorrent support is a weird idea. (I haven't tested this feature.) But it's very stable.

That said, I now use it as my second browser when Safari is unstable. Which happens very often :P

Ugly tool bar though.

Go to: http://www.dark-phantasy.com/skin/Entr'Acte.zip and install the Entr'Acte skin. You want a Mac look in Opera, you'll get it with this skin.

Timeline 3D
Jun 28 2006
****.

CA  Good but not great…

Stable, nice and Mac-y interface but too limited. No parallel timelines, no hyperlinks inside the timeline. And I couldn't find a way to apply a font to a specific entry. Am I missing something? I guess I'll have to wait until this piece of software is updated.

Timeline 3D

ADAM BEHRINGER  Thanks for the comment CA. We are planning parallel timelines and event links for the next major release due soon after Leopard ships.

Changing colors and date formats will be allowed on a per event basis, but font face and font size will continue to be a chart level setting.

For the latest on "T2" please check out my blog (www.beedocuments.com/blog)

Really this is a brilliant idea, I'll keep an eye on it (= put it into my Watch List).

It could be useful not only for students/teachers but also for textcasting or for a Mac user group.

And the Services-menu works. Mark something in the text field and choose "Google Search" or "Spotlight" from the Search-Menu and it works.

ROGER04  I've been following this app and had mixed results until now with .9601 My recommendations are very interesting - some new stuff and artists I had forgotten about. You can uncheck tracks in your library which should change your results. There's also a way to adjust the results with an adventure setting.(I haven't tried that lately but it's a cool idea). I've had fun browsing the collections of matching users - there's one guy I found who has 142 artists in common with me and I've liked lots of his other music. There's also free downloads that are new to this version, I think. The free music seems pretty eclectic with some recognized artists. I downloaded a few to iTunes - they go to a separate playlist which is cool.

Tinderbox

CA  Perplexed...

I gave Tinderbox a try but the learning curve is way too steep. The interface is the worst I've ever seen (I'm sold to Cocoa and this Carbon ugliness, oh please!) and the "help" is a joke. Tinderbox was always between me and my ideas. I spent my time wondering "how could I do this?" That said I have nothing against it, it _is_ very powerful.

I'm extremely picky about the title tracks in my playlists and like to add info about the CDs so iTunify is very useful to me. I recommend it.

MACMAGNA  Bonjour,

Si vous avez un problème avec FileFinder il vaut mieux s'adresser directement à moi plutôt que de poster une revue douteuse sur MacUpdate. Si votre disque fait de drôles de bruits quand une application tente de lire à partir de celui-ci il est fort probable qu'il ai un problème et risque de vous lâcher sous peu. Pour votre gouverne sachez que FileFinder n'utilise rien que des fonctions standards pour effectuer son travail et ne peut en aucun cas endommager un disque dur dans la mesure où il ne fait, par ailleurs, que lire le contenu du catalogue de celui-ci pendant une analyse. De là à proposer de mettre le programme à la poubelle, je trouve que vous y allez un peu fort.

MacMagna, concepteur de FileFinder.
