CALLE  If something can be done with Applescript, it can be done with Applescript. There´s no need to wrap every possible script into an app. You´ve cluttered Macupdate with eight (?) releases in a weekend - please learn something from the user reviews and put your energy on something useful.

Chopper
Dec 2 2007
*****

CALLE  A rather simple game but very, very well made. Gameplay and graphic has always been outstanding and Chopper was the only app I truly missed after switching to Intel.

In v1.1 though, graphics is almost too good and too detailed. I find it difficult to see enemies and civilians - actually the missions in where visibility is best are the night missions. Also, the four new levels does not really pop up among my favourite ones. I'd wish for a little differences in the design of the enemies - the more detailed they get, the more they look like clones of each other instead of individuals.

Still, Chopper is a fabulous game. If Chopper had been shareware before, I'd have paid already a long time ago.

GARY30  Every so often (not very often) you get a sitx file. Those can't be opened by The Unarchiver. That's the only reason I can imagine (of course, you could just reject the sitx file, but people who send you sitx files are so clueless that they won't know how to use another format).

REALbasic 2009
Sep 10 2007

CALLE  Mike, I couldn't agree more. I've been using RealBasic since the CrossBasic-time. Seems like we, sooner or later, will have to dig through all that code again, since one of the new features of 2007r4 is that 'REALbasic built applications now launch on Leopard'.. RealBasic is easy to learn, a bit tricky to use and for many reasons hard to get further and beyond.

Color Menu Extras
Aug 27 2007

CALLE  In one single word beautiful - living outside the US, my world is still very iPhoneless but nevertheless the colorization makes a happier menubar to look at - though I like the older airport and battery replacements better and therefore don't bother to download this update.

Dunno if it has changed in v1.1, but the earlier release contained english-only menu extras (the graphic files could of course still be installed into the existing packages, but I suggest it should be mentioned in the read me - sorry if it is already).

CALLE  ..and now, after a quick test, kudos to the dev! I've seriously missed this feature since AcidSearch stopped working with Safari 3ß. Now it's back in the address field instead of the search field, but I'll probably get used to it. And probably get used to the slicker integration into Safari. mu for macupdate, thanks a lot!

CALLE  Works as described, for free. Well done!

It's the only app I use in Rosetta though, an Intel-release would be appreciated. Also I can't get it to put the converted files in the designated folder - they appears in the origin folder no matter what I do, but it's not really a problem - and it would cut one step in the process if it would encode FLACs to MP3/MP4 instead of just AIFFs (I know, I'm more of a diskophile than a discophile).

I suppose SafariTabs does the job well in the meantime, though I don't like to have too many plugs installed and have instead put a never-used button right below to close button, to minimize the number of times that I accidently closes the window when all I wanted was to go back.

AppDelete
Oct 25 2006

CALLE  I've not yet downloaded this piece, but the initiative is good enough. This should have been made automatically from the very beginning of OSX, or implemented as a built-in tool afterwards, or at least be available for free. It should not require a master unix degree or a oddly marketed shareware tool updated far more often than one would ever need to trash an app. So, no matter if this does what it says or not, the courage to develop such a thing for free should be rewarded!

Two minor things. It keeps complaining that I've got an unfinished game, which I don't have. And second, it would be a little closer to perfection if one would (have the option to) get a better visual indication of what card that is drawn from the pile.

SORDDIN  Just out of interest what colour would you have picked for the month bar?

The month bar actually changes colour slowly as the year goes on, starting out as blue in January and ending up as red in December.

Well, I'm glad you like it, thanks for the feedback.

NanoCount
Mar 19 2006
****½

CALLE  Clean and simple. And free. I like.

A few suggestions though,

* It gives an (ugly) error if TextEdit is not open.

* Would be nice if NanoCount could give the number of words/chars (or both!) in it's icon in dock as well.

* Would also be nice if the progress bar could indicate how far one has gone past its maximum.

* Since I'm mostly interested in the number of chars and not the words, it would be a little more clean if Nano Count would remember my settings.

* After (accidently) trying to resize the settings dialog it minimizes to just show chars/words, without giving the option to get its full size again.

* Talking about resizing.. well.

* This may be beyond the simplicity of this app, but as I personally use to keep copies of paragraphs within the document while working on the text, I'd love to have Nano Count to just show the number of words/chars until a given delimiter (like three bullets, or whatever) - that would be the real length of my text not counting all working parts. Could be fairly simple to implement.

* The settings dialog could actually be made to appear even more smoothly..

This is an app I could have written myself. So far I haven't, and I though find it useful, so thanks to the author for putting it together.

CALLE  What is really so fantastic about GC? I've never got the hype.. sure it's fascinating that it is still updated for Classic, but that doesn't mean the interface should stay Classic in all versions. Using GC is actually rather non-intiutive, I'd say.

Good app, sure, but there is huge room for improvements.
