Platypus	Sep 26 2009	CARBONIDE Version 4.2 doesn't set the arguments to dropped files correctly. My scripts that worked perfectly well under version 4 now only get the path to the application in $1, but $2 is always empty. (Version 4.2)		0

OSXplanet	Dec 26 2008	CARBONIDE Just found out that OSXplanet gobbled up about 6 GB of my hard disk space by archiving every generated screen in it's support folder (although I had this option turned off in the settings and also tried to limit it to 1 item). I now simply made that folder read-only in the hope that that will cure the symptom. (Version 2.0b02 Universal)		0

RCKTMAN77 Carbonide,

I looked at what effect setting the permissions of the parent folder where all the .png images are stored had on the application. You should have noticed that your desktop no longer updated with a refreshed image as the application can no longer write the new image to that directory and subsequently refresh the image displayed on the desktop with the new one.

To the developer, the way in which this should be implemented is that older images are not stored separately, but either overwritten with the new image, or prior images be erased. When you're on a 2560 x 1600 display and refreshing every 30 min, it takes only a short period of time before this directory becomes a depository for a large amount of wasted hard disk space.

CoreDuoTemp	May 17 2006	CARBONIDE It connects to the author's server to check if there's a new version available. You can turn that behaviour off in the preferences. It asks for your password because it has to install a kernel extension to query the processors internal thermal sensors. That's all. I concur that the dialog box could be more explicit stating why it needs the password. (Version 0.51)		0

xBack	Mar 17 2006	CARBONIDE Quits with an "Could Not Install Web Store ( Error : -2003 )" error! This app wants to install something behind the back of the user. I despise software that does so! (Version 3.5.4)		0
