CLAUCLAU  It's really rare i even bother to comment the useless add-ons that storms around itunes, which I end up to use just itunes.

But actually this can be a total replacement to the heavyweight itunes as well as for nonsense lastfm player. It has also a good potential to be a replacement for AOL radio and iLike player in the next stage.

Besides, lastfm has become payment subscription based, iLike player spaces out a lot more compared to lastfm.

Good work.

CLAUCLAU  Can you believe it, you've already finished C, think you can do Matlab?  
(Version 7.9)

CLAUCLAU  I actually Installed Click 2 Flash and Glims is ok.

Probably Click2Flash fixed permissions after installation.

Happy now.

Problem solved.  
(Version 1.0b21)

CLAUCLAU  I installed Macte toolbar, but I am kind of sure I removed everything,

as some user on macupdate reported that macte installer sneaks a little bit anywhere on the computer.

I also used the Glims unisntaller, I can't tell where the problem is although my humble long experience.  
(Version 1.0b21)

CLAUCLAU  Actually it did install, but Glims preference panel is not showing, and it like it doesn't run at all.  
(Version 1.0b21)

CLAUCLAU  I can't install it, Installer said installtion went ok, but physically there has be no installation.

What could it be?

Thanks.  
(Version 1.0b21)

CLAUCLAU  I could find this program on google only by typing "extract DVDsp" etc etc...

Googleing "import" xxx didn't work.

Pretty simple, pretty efficient, pretty fast.

BUT, at least on this version:

1) Once exported, subtitles don't show up on quicktime first time.

So I just import it on anoter program, type a mistak and undo in order to resave it. then the file gets read correctly by quicktime.

2) Exporting to .srt is great but subs go out of time altough. Maybe because 30fps 29.97, 25fps options are lacking ?

At least it's good that I extracted those subtitles. I will find a solution for the rest at the moment.

Keep up the good work !  
(Version 1.1)

CLAUCLAU  About itunes 9.0:

In addition on what's written below about the missing feature (64 bit, FLV, MKV, FLAC, and so get rid of of Quicktime forever etc) I must say that if every little detail added to itunes guys must be present ahead such a pompous show such as a keynote for it I guess we must wait for next 23 keynotes in order to meet customers or at least keep the pace with the technology like at least external Blu-Ray support or Video Transmission on a TV without adding one more box on top of the useless digital terrestrial receiver and a sinth/amplifier in our smaller and smaller flats. Also about integrating a true DJ console:

How about instead wasting time into redesign the skin?

Or adding a couple of visualizers?

Or making mini controller harder to switch than before, say by option-clicking on the green traffic light button?  
(Version 9.0)

CLAUCLAU  Yes, thanks for the reply, I did reset the Pram but probably, I should have repaired permissions before and after which is very unfriendly and geeky step for each update, as you know it takes a whole afternoon.

For those retards who downvoted me, I was talking about 10.5 compared to 10.3 not to 10.6.  
(Version 10.6)

CLAUCLAU  Considering I've been using os x since 10.1 puma, I still have to say 10.3 was the fastest.

Beside spotlight doesn't work at all and won't find any invisible files. just try your own.

Whoever used 10.3 search function (no, not sherlock), knows what I am talking about.

Preview and Quicklook don't work with all the files. Only with very few.

I can't skip back and forth on the video preview so I either have to use quicklook or open Quicktime which can be annoying when browsing many files. Looks a small thing, but it is actually a big deal at the end of the day. People who are familiar with some serious workflow know.

ANYWAY I just want you to know that I never had any permission problems or any other sort after an update, well this is the first:

Tested with 2 macbooks late 2008 13": USB ports have lower power and devices can't connect properly right after updating to 10.5.8, previously it was ok. As stuff was and still is always plugged in. Just try to connect a mouse or an hard drive and you'll see.

(Version 4.0.7)

CLAUCLAU  It's that easy... THANKS !  
(Version 1.0)

CLAUCLAU  Sure it's a handy application.

But I tend to point out what's missing mostly, maybe in order to give a possible good input.

So basically what this application does is to show is to scan the itunes library / Favourite artists and show the upcoming concerts. That would be 870 songs in the itunes Library at least. 1 song for each artist.

It could be smart enough eventually to reveal some cover bands playing (say for example Ella Fizgerald cover band), but it won't recommend any other band which would play the same style of that kind of music. On the other hand this iConcertCal would avoid sudden gigs that you wished you would have gone, but you couldn't plan for. Unlike LastFM gigometer, which even restricts the search by town.

Sure is that both of these applications avoid signing up to newsletters resulting in a huge amount of email notifications.  
(Version 2.4)

CLAUCLAU  On the internet it is erroneously reported that this is a product from Microsoft Research.

Well, as Lex Luthor says, it's "WROOOOOOOOONG !"  
(Version 2.5)

CLAUCLAU  "Thanks" to Macupdate going towards the worst of search methods, I had to reach this application again by typing ipodview and browsing to other software suggested...

I miss the 2005 version of this website. So much.

PS: I am a daily user of MU.  
(Version 1.1.10)

CLAUCLAU  I used r-name which still is useful for pre Leopard users: maybe this is the only downside of Name Mangler.

But R-name is disappeared.

I have a camera which everytime i swap SD card, it renames files from zero. And there is no option to avoid it.

Therefore once I download files in one folder, OS X creates a file-001 and files-001 2 in order to avoid asking that a file with that name (from the previous SD card) already exist.

OS X understands it that is probably not the same video and therefore silently makes this trick.

Now problem is, that when renaming files chronologically I have to list files by date of creation, as in other view mode, they're sorted alphabetically. When I then drag the files to any software like Automator or others to rename them, these files get messed up, therefore renaming task useless.

Name Mangler smartly override this problem, and lets you sort the files in any order you want. This app is not a simple stuff:

This app made my day.

PS I know i wrote like somebody who got paid, but no, i am a simple user.  
(Version 2.0)

CLAUCLAU  It would have been easier and quicker for Yahoo to co operate with Apple way before than Google, as Yahoo has valuable designers and services are intuitive and unified all over what they acquire.

But when it comes to Mac, here comes the problems:

-slow application,

-Cpu hungry

-when disconnected/connected HUD appears all the time,

-no file transfer on msn users,

-nor avatars,

-sometimes I write to yahoo users and they also don't get the messages as well.

-Big MSN incompatibility warning shows up ahead every time message session begins.

-No Multilanguage support: I even proposed to translate it, can't care less. World is flat and starts from NYC and ends to LA as usual.

-No video Multi chat support like iChat.

-no screensharing

-no avatar drag and drop (must go to preferences)

-no multi avatar window pops up

That's all for now folks.  
(Version 3.0b4.156957)

CLAUCLAU  I agree, great stuff, handy. Welcome back developer.  
(Version 2.0)

CLAUCLAU  lol, where is the logjam sound ?  
(Version 1.1)

CLAUCLAU  Any chance to see Adobe Flash Player to manage ICC profiles, I find it an essential requirement, especially pictures slideshow services like Flickr.  
(Version 10.0.12.10)

CLAUCLAU  That's great, thanks, I've been waiting for this utility to come. I hope its development will have long life so later we can see support also for hotmail and yahoo messenger, as well as having the chance to use more of your fantastic softwares.

PS: I know it sounds like , but I am not affiliated to the developer.  
(Version 1.0)

CLAUCLAU  AAC.. yay!  
(Version 1.5)

CLAUCLAU  Hi,

Congratulations for this.

This would work only from G4 with 500 mhz, not G3, right?

I believe also it could work on any G4 below 500 but running 10.5 would be considerably slow.  
(Version 0.9)

CLAUCLAU  Why apple is so retarded about not having these cool features.

My computer starts getting old, I can't use it. It's already bearing what it shouldn't support.  
(Version 2.1.1)

CLAUCLAU  It unexpectly quits on 10.4.11 always after a couple of hours. but it might be my system.  
(Version 0.93)

CLAUCLAU  Nice application,

I wish it could remember the provider settings by default when I recall the widget back from its "dormient" dashboard dock without re selecting all the time.

The developer is very careful to details and make this widget as compat as possible, if we see the many features it includes (proxy, language choice, colours and modules update), really clever.

It gets truly frustrating on Alice on alice account:

no service wrong key code when it's not,

sometime i have to retype the password in the account to make it work again, but by looking at the many updates the developer released, tracking up the constant changes of the main providers, i assume it's Alice itself causing this annoyance giving a hard time to the developer.  
(Version 2.7)

CLAUCLAU  It is slow,

it can't manage more than one website,

it doesn't export more than one website,

Quicktime's poster doesn't work,

it supports google Adsense and nothing else?

it doesn't publish on FTP,

it doesn't support flash movies drag and drop,

it could have blog integration with facebook but it does not.

its concept looks the same of Pages, which I don't like.  
(Version 2.0.2)

CLAUCLAU  Advertisement banner are not suitable for all audiences in this however free and useful software.

I never received 2 replies involving foreign language support (which was useful for the development of this program).

Beside the very nice icon, Pando's interface and features seem at the same early stage of podmailer development, and get worse on Windows:

meanwhile podmailer preserves the same interface on both Win and Mac (with a simple interface which is well balanced with its simple features)

Pando for windows fills the screen with questions and warnings and gets into everything,

(if you want to). More popups and so on.

Wish this helps to developers.  
(Version 1.8.0.2)

CLAUCLAU  I noticed my finder was at 45% cpu hog,

5% after I set the finder to default and re enabled the graphic effects which I disabled using onyx.

.... What did i do wrong?  
(Version 1.8.2)

CLAUCLAU  Great job, I wish it could have a more itunes 7 interface, or if it could be integrated in itunes as plugin. Pop up plugin at least.

Application update is a widget which checks my apps folder and see what's updated and what's need to be updated.

It's been 4 versions of XNJB that Application Update reports it version as version 1.4.4.  
(Version 1.4.8)

CLAUCLAU  I believe it's syncnow itself, type syncnow in the search bar this program comes up.  
(Version 0.1b)

CLAUCLAU  Last 2 versions make all the other programs unusuable, at least on a mac with 640mb of ram:

Neverending rotating beachballs.

It could be due to the many documents I have put on queue wehether if some of em are paused or in connection process.

I limitated the connection range however.

Seems to have a better behaviour this way.

I sent a localization to the developer twice,

I wonder if he got it.

Good software, the best probably.
