Just horrible. Install this and it's like bringing hell into your precious Mac. Each and every program crash I had since installing this, has had something to do with this abomination for a driver. Steer clear. Try Steermouse. |

Although I might be mistaken of the intended concept behind Clockwork, I'm desperately looking for a function to make it work as an alarm clock as well... I can't for the life of me find a way to set an alarm at a specific time! Sure, I can calculate in my head, that, if time's 8.26 in the morning, when I'm about to set my recurring (once a day) Lunchtime alarm, I will have to set it to 03:34:00 in Clockwork's 'alarm' mode. I think the definition of 'alarm' in Clockwork is somewhat misleading, as it more resembles the functionality of a 'countdown' timer. An alarm, per se, (at least for me) is something you set, to go off at a specific time. On a final note, about the application itself. It looks georgeous and I really want to find some use for it. But again, I was hoping it could work as a tea time, lunchtime, bedtime, morning coffee, etc. alarmer, which is easy to set up and easy to change in terms of such a schedule. Another thing I'd wish for, is a way to set off AppleScripts or open files at the alarm time. |
|
I have the same problem as you did; simply doesn't work for me. Doesn't even open when I double click the program icon. And the manual is somewhat confusing to read. Do you happen to have any advice as to get it working? |
|
Is there any way to permanently dismiss that obtrusive Activity Monitor window at startup? |
|
The most elegant, feature-rich, robust journaling app I've ever come across. I found it to have the highest "feel-right-factor" to it, among the apps in the competition. MacJournal has an equal potential for corporate and private needs respectively, and I've put it to good use in both areas. I certainly use it almost every day! |
|
Yes it's really great. |
|
I have the same problem with GammaSlamma 1.2. My system setup is a Mac PPC dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, OS X 10.4.11. Opening GammaSlamma doesn't do anything. And it doesn't show up in the Open With...-list in the contextual menu. |

Ok, now this comment was posted as a reply to finkeltron's comment below. MacUpdates comment system needs an overhaul, as it's slightly buggy here and there. :) |
|
I would suggest the introducing of a small "vote for removal" button next to comments and reviews. There's a minimal drawback with that, sure, but it would put an end to reviews like this, which doesn't reflect anything about applications' qualities or lack thereof. 10 people voting for removal will bring it away, plain and simple. |
|
If MacUpdate provides a voting function during applications' beta stages, then of course the users should able to post their review scores, should they feel for it. Ratings during an app's beta stage, should reflect the reviewer's experience with that app, at that particular moment in time. If an app is good, it's good. I don't necessarily think it stinks just because it's in a beta stage. Mind you, some developers tend to keep their apps in beta stage for very long, sometimes even if it's to be considered final. If that's the scenario with an app that I like, then I usually won't hesitate from giving it the rating I think it deserves. |
|
Also check the free, QuickAccessCM, which does similar things. http://free.abracode.com/cmworkshop/quick_access.html |

2 major drawbacks: - Finder will stall and show the beach ball cursor for the time it takes to upload file(s) to the ftp server... This is the major flaw that makes it useless for me. - Interface is kind of non-intuitive and confusing. For instance, when entering ftp addresses, I think that the username/password and rest should have specific input fields for it, instead of having the program's website state half-way down the webpage, what format should be used to enter ftp bookmarks. |
|
Very humorous app, indeed. |
|
Been using it for some weeks and it works perfectly! |
|
Is the developer out of business? Their website seems to be gone. |
|
I disagree with you here, wolfeatsworld. There are situations where some developers have gone too far in their pricing plans, but in this case I see no reason for you're saying, at all. 30 bucks is fair and square for an app like this. And remember, a lot of their customers will probably intend to use it in order to make money on their screencasts. |
|
Edit to my last comment: It now works for me and it truly has the best drawing feeling of all apps I've tried so far. Definitely keeping my eyes open for this app! |
|
Such a bummer that Tooldial has been abandoned... I was looking for a neat way of using a dial menu along with the use of a Wacom Tablet and graphic programs... This seems to have been the very last sign of hope for that purpose. Appears it was a dead end. :( |
|
When I try to open Fluid v0.5 on my PPC G5 dual 2.5 ghz, 1.5 gb ram, running OS X 10.4.11, it doesn't open (nothing happens at all, when I double-click the icon in Finder). |
|
Wave Editor is the most powerful, impressing audio editor I have ever seen. It's my bread and butter of all things audio. I usually tend to write fairly long reviews, but in this case, I don't know where to begin. I'm just going to say, here's my 5 stars, and thanks to Wave Editor, I have found my way home. |
|
Very nice and elegant design! Easy to use and just great. One feature request, that I'm missing, though: - Organize recordings into separate tracks! Otherwise, it's a pretty solid app! |
|
Speaking of which. Out of curiosity, is it possible to have a glipse at the still unpublished design, Ozzpot? This whole thing is starting to gain some serious momentum here... can't wait for the funeral ceremony of the original icon! |
|
Still, again, after seeing Ozzpot's website, it's very hard to imagine his icon falling short in a comparison with the original icon design... d-: |
|
Would like to try this, but it unexpectedly crashes each and every time I try to start the application. I'm using Powermac G5 dual 2.5 Ghz / OS X 10.4.11 / 1.5 GB RAM / ATI Radeon 9800 Pro XT (256 MB) |
|
Out of curiosity, who is the icon designer that fulfilled the job? |
|
I love tangram games. Would you mind explaining if its tangram games, as such, that you consider being boring, or is it *this* implementation of the game (Septavo Tangram), that you find boring? And if it's the latter, please explain what you're missing. I'm not the developer of this app. I'm just, mind you, getting somewhat confused when I see ratings like this one, as it doesn't really target down, what the real issue with the game might be. Have a GREAT day, my friend, over and out. |
|
Mudflapper: But if you turn off the daemon, will it then effectively register all kinds of changes to the filesystem that an app makes, so that it can uninstall all those files? I thought that was the whole point of having a daemon. I may be wrong though. |
|
Yes, Check Off is a completely different app! @ elegraphy Before writing something like that, please consider the possibility that well deserved attention might be drawn away from the app, for no good reason. Should there be an app that is directly competing with the app in question, and you prefer that app for some reason, by all means, do share your point of view. |
|
Thanks for pointing it out. I thought it looked like some kind of whine bottle opener or something (still, not a whine opener at all) ... I think it's the very hard shadow under the actual brush "straws" that's been fooling me for all this long. Now I feel enlightened. Tip-Ex/liquid paper it is! And I can't do nothing but agree. This is one of those rare, "rich" conversations that really makes it worthwhile spending some time checking the "replies" section on MacUpdate comments. |
|
Version 2.0bx (I'm currently using 2.0b6) seems to work flawlessly! Not a single glitch or bug as far as I can see. I love the way it has evolved since version 1.x. One thing would be great to improve, though. I'd like to be able to drop applications onto the image well when adding a new app (disclaimer: I'm not sure if that's in the works). This is one of the few apps I gladly give 5 stars in all cathegories (save for when I'm receiving bribes). |
|
^ referring to A Better Finder Rename in my question there. |
|
This icon beats A Better Finder Rename's icon in terms of strangeness, by miles. However, in Praat's case, I can at least see what it represents, or so I thought... If anyone knows what the thing under the chrystal ball resembles, I'd be curious to know. |
|
Has that native Inkscape version arrived, or are there any news about its coming? |
|
Very inspiring application. And it's carried out in a nice and simple, minimalistic way. WriteRoom, to me, has a very geeky appeal. Feels like being on top of what you're doing, and it makes you realize how smart you really are. Something that's often times remained unthought of, is the user experience; do people actually get anything produced (in this case written) with the apps they're using? And if so, is that because they were never distracted by cluttery, feature-packed user interfaces? Sure there are other apps that might succeed in the same regard that WriteRoom does, but there is none that resembles the looks and strictly minimal concept of this fine application. Also, I'd like to regard WriteRoom as being a writer's 'tool', rather than a full-blown word processor. It is reachable from pretty much anywhere, and jumps in as a refreshing aid in times when you need that extra focus to concentrate. |
|
Jesse: WriteRoom is a geourgeous and cleaver app. Don't let it get to you. Some people are completely lacking in their social abilities, and yet, some people likes it when they can trash something down, often times because they are unable to construct anything of their own. Keep doing what you're great at (in this case, coding). Hog Bay Software has a very high credibility in my book, and myopics sending in disrespectful, shorthanded comments which are lacking any constructive intent whatsoever, is just something that happens to any developer, no matter how much effort they put into their craft; sadly so, it comes with the territory... :( WriteRoom for the win! |
|
I have no intentions of adding to any negativism in this comment section, but I think Pink Panther's statement has some substantial value to it, after all. (Albeit, perhaps a tad bit shorthanded in terms of arguments left for wider interpretation.) But, what if you created an application in the early 90s, called Flash FX, or something in the fashion thereabout. Would you keep that name today? Or would you modify the name to circumvent any or most of the misconceptional risks? For valid reasons, I would probably take into consideration, a slight modification of the name (just a smidge), in some way or another, rather than staying stubbornly loyal to its original state. Just in order to maintain its integrity, as to not have it confused with a more recent, largely more reknowned invention, seeing as my software didn't even do the same thing as its namesake counterpart did. I'm not saying this to be "anal" (as a previous speaker put it) about insignificant details, but the matter of the gist is that, the first I thought when seeing Tex-Edit Plus, *was*, in fact, that it would have something to do with said TeX, or LaTeX technology. It's probably less relevant whether this app is older than TeX or not, for the time being; unequivocally, a lot of potential customers will have their eyes tilted there, for a short glimpse of a second - something that a developer might or might not care about, depending on various parameters. If the desired result of keeping a title that is this similar to a larger, more withspoken product, does not equal to the effect that was originally aimed for in Tex-Edit Plus' case, perhaps spending a short moment for re-evaluation wouldn't be a bad choice? Just a humble reflection, as I think this fine looking app definitely deserve a shelf of its own! |

Welcome aboard, Mac friend! |

On a further note, I deleted the log and had a new one created for me. Now it's the correct year and date, but the month is 1 month ahead, eg. now showing 2007.09.09, whereas it's in fact 2007.08.09 (again, in YY.MM.DD format). As far as whether the updating of my IP goes, it might be working or might not, that is, my problem with visitors being unable to enter my server, could possibly be related to the web server I'm using (Abyss Web Server). But nevertheless, I think the wrong date in the MacNoIP_DUC.log is a bit weird. |
|
The scheduled updates doesn't work for me. When I view the update logfile, the dates are out of order, displaying such dates as 2007.25.25 (in YYYY.MM.DD format, that is). Hence, it never updates on regular basis and I'm currently having to manually update each day. Would be awesome if this could be addresses. As well as having the daemon update once after each computer restarts (that is, if it doesn't already do that). Otherwise, No-Ip is a winner! I love everything else about it. Thanks. Note: I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.10 on a dual G5 2.5 PPC with 1.5 GB RAM. |
|
Nice app. But it would be awesome if it could flip/rotate images too. Batch processing would be nice as well, but not paramount. Thanks! |
|
There's nothing like it. Astonishing piece of software. One of the few 5 star scores all-around I've ever given on MacUpdate. |
|
This, and PDFView (also free) are on par, and I tend to use them both. PDFView's advantage is that it's very fast and clutterfree, plus its unsurpassed abilities to show as much of the PDF contents as possible. Skim's advantage over any other reader I've tried, is its bookmarking features. Which one is the best? I haven't made up my mind, yet. But I had this one grief in PDFView, not being able to bookmark different parts in the document. |
|
The latest update (1.1.1) adds a nice feature, the 'Do Include vs Exclude'. If I understand it correct, that option will simply switch the behavior from Excluding the apps you have in the list, into just Include those applications and let any other process be unaffected by Keyclick's sounds, right? My problem is that the "include-only" function doesn't seem to work. I can still hear sounds in all processes when I'm in "include-only" mode. Also, are the Mouse Button click sounds "global", eg. not possible to set on a per-application basis? I would very much like to be able to set up Keyclick to, say, only be activated in TextMate and similar apps. Otherwise, I think the app is getting better and better, good job! |
|
Or, you can try this: Switch Audio Converter http://www.nch.com.au/switch/ |
|
Feature requests: 1.) Having it remember repeat mode after quitting and reopening the application. 2.) Like others already mentioned, a visible playlist. Pros: Loops audio perfectly glitch-free! As opposed to eg. Quicktime, which repeats loops with a horrible glitch. Ultra quick opening time of the app! Cons: The icon for repeat mode is very hard to see. Could be made more clear. Keep it up, dear developer! This is looking very promising! |
|
Highly competent application. Beats any other quick resize/rotate, etc. image manipulator app that I've tried. It can even upload the images to a remote location!! And not even that; in addition to that, it can even automatically copy the link to the file on the remote server, in many different link formats... Things like that makes it apparent that XtraLean Software is a company who pay attention to nice little detals, that most of the competitor apps are missing out. I was also very impressed on the great support that I received from XtraLean Software. I sent a query and the day after I had an email in my inbox, with a very thorough rundown on the steps required to troubleshoot my problem. All the best and good luck, XtraLean Software! |
|
You are so right. I should have sent you a mail to the support address (which I will do) instead of posting about it in here. Time's late and I didn't pay too much attention to details. :) |
|
I'm unable to try this program, as I'm getting a dialog at startup, saying: "Error Parts of the BSD subsystem are missing. ImageWell can not launch. Please contact support@xtralean.com for more information." My setup is: Powermac dual G5 2.5 Ghz PPC, Mac OS X 10.4.9. It's beyond me whether I have managed to get rid of some of those BSD parts or not, but I'm wondering, is there anything I can do to get going with this (judging from the looks of it) awesome app? |
|
Highly frustrating installation process, ending up in a no-go anticlimax... I'm not a software developer... I do not have XCode development tools installed. Or, yes, I do, but XCode failed to build this thing. Why not provide a pre-built executable, together with the source code somewhere. Or at least some clear instructions as to how one is supposed to get this thing working... |
|
Feature-wise, seems to be THE best tagging solution there is! That is, the way it operates, with its splendid interface design and everything, it's just a killer app, for sure! On the other hand, in my testing, it seems that, for some reason there is a vastly increased delay, when opening my context-menu. I have no idea of other users' experience in this regard, but for me, this is a major downer. I may have to add, there's a chance this could be related to the fact that I have several other context-menu plugins installed as well; OnMyCommand, PathSnagger, Photo Tool CM, QuickImage, Finder Icon CM... but (!) my context-menu operated perfectly before and after having the TagBot plugin there, so either there's a "collision" going on between the plugs, or there's a "glitch" in the TagBot.plugin code. |
|
Thanks for your reply, lectrick, but the image became only a few Kb "big", which make it impossible to open in for instance Preview.app... It's just as if its resources went depleted somehow. I loved everything about Xee and would very much like to start using it again. But seeing that this strip of image resources occured one time too many now, when I rotate pictures in Xee, I'm afraid I don't dare risking to loose one more picture... I hope this is due to something else, but so far, my pictures have stopped disappearing when using other image viewers. (Again, I still regard Xee as being the sweetest of them all. It's a pity for me, this.) |
|
Oh my goshness. I adore this PDF reader. The bookmarking/annotation system is the best I've seen in any reader. This definitely replaces Preview.app, and I hate to say it, but it even replaces good ole trustworthy PDFView as my primary reader. |
|
Dear FSB Software, As of being uninformed. Yes, that's exactly what I am. Hence, I thought I'd send you a message, hoping you'd be kind enough to spread some light on the wonderings I had. If you don't like the idea of replying back with a quick response to questions like mine, I'd be somehow confused why you choose to register your products with a service like MacUpdate. Mind you, this is a place for questions like those I had, and still have. It's a place for information about new and updated software. I have a lot to thank kind people like you, who dedicate their free (even not free) time to create free software like yours. That's worth a lot of kudos and respect! If my questions were rude or annoyingly uninformed in any way, please accept my apologies for that. But wouldn't it kind of shorten a discussion like this, if we worked together; you being the creator of fine software, and us users trying to stay as informed as we can, whereas, if any, concerns are being allowed to be asked in a politely manner? To me, that looks like an ideal situation. Have a great summer! |
|
This is the best screen ruler I've ever seen. Just like its product name, Rulers is free of any uncertainties as for what it can do, or can not do. No unnecessary bloat here. Compared to similar tools that I've tried, I find that Rulers is the only app worthy of being called a real pixel scalpel. Can't say for how long I've been waiting for exactly this app, but it's been long enough to say: Finally, you did it! On a side note. I have one humble request for a freature, that I'd like to see: - Undo functionality. As in, if you move a ruler and you moved it wrong, hitting Command-Z would make it even easier to set it back to where it was before. This is easily worth 5 stars from me. |
|
I can't seem to be able to open the .dmg. It says something like "unrecognized format" (freely translated from Swedish to English). |
|
I'm starting to have high beliefs in this app! It just managed to become my prime audio player for quick previews! Although it works great already, I have some comments about things that I'd like to see improved: (1) Scroll-wheel support for fast forward/rewind! (2) Option to always have Loop mode on between program launches. (3) The song rating mechanism could be a little smoother. (4) When a sound file repeats, there is a short 'flashing' in the file's information, which (?) seems to cause a short, microscopic glitch in the playback when it repeats. This is mostly noticeable when looping small soundfiles, say, for example a 1.5 second white noise loop. (I'm a sound designer, that's why I'm picky about this. But QuickTime and iTunes both have even worse glitches when looping and repeating sounds, so Play is already ahead in this regard, but couldn't hurt trying to reach total glitch-free looping anyways.) |
|
The + and - keys are unavailable for my keyboard. I'm using a Swedish keyboard layout, which doesn't have these keys mapped to the same keys as US keyboard layout. May I propose enabling the + and - keys on the numerical keyboard? |
|
Intuitive and easy to use. Does what it says and it's amazing how many obsolete and duplicate bookmarks I just got rid of! |
|
$20 for this, when EasyFind does it for free is ridiculous. Just my modest opinion. |
|
Nice widget and all, but I second previous speaker's suggestion about changing the name of this widget. I believe about 98% of all Mac users who are working with audio on the Mac, will think that this is a tool for converting between AU, VST, RTAS, MAS, etc. formats (or something like that). I.e. it's confusing. But thanks otherwise! Nice and useable widget. |
|
I like this a lot. Makes a better alternative to just pressing Ctrl-Alt-Command-8. |
|
Crashes upon launch. Unable to evaluate. (Mac OS X 10.4.9, Powermac PPC dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, repaired permissions, etc.) |
|
I've had some bad experience with Xee lately, rendering images corrupted/non-readable by any program. For instance, I opened up some pictures that I had taken with my Pentax Optio WP "cheapo" digital camera, and I performed a 90 degrees clockwise rotation on a picture and then hit Command-S to save. When I reopened the same picture in Xee, Preview and all kinds of other programs, I get error messages saying something about the picture having wrong header info, or missing such. Is this just me, or? Glad to see some resolvement to this issue, as I think Xee is a wonderful application otherwise. |
|
Georgeous! Tack så mycket, Jonas! |
|
This is brilliant. It bridges a gap between the Address Book and Mail. And it does it without any problems or hickups. Thanks! |
|
Works great and all, but I'm using small icon size in my Finder windows, and the Refresh Finder icon doesn't resize properly at that setting. Just a small cosmetic issue, not a big problem though. Tack ska du ha, Söderhavet! |
|
Useful indeed. |
|
Worked perfectly. Maybe an option to have it not include contacts for which you haven't got any email address would be nice. Thanks! |
|
Is there any chance of extending it, so you can check multiple email addresses in one instance of the widget? That would be the only quibble I have with this, otherwise, superb widget. |
|
Wow! Works great, simple to use and makes a perfect replacement for the outdated Dockless application, which performed the same task, albeit in a more iffy fashion (in my experience with it, at least.) |
|
I concur with previous speaker. Although I'd like to thank the developer for a fine product! |
|
I previously used TabStop, which does the same, but TabStop didn't offer what SafariTabs does, namely the option to choose a custom webpage to open, when you make a new tab. |
|
Also check out SafariTabs. Does the same, but offers the option to choose a custom webpage to open, when you make a new tab. |
|
I have a request for iGTD: - An option to not show iGTD in the Dock and Application Switcher. In my opinion, there is no reason to show it there, since it already (and quite conveniently) resides in the status menu bar. Having it in the Dock/App Switcher makes is somewhat redundant and "in the way", so to speak. I know there is a tool called Dockless, which can do what I want, but I really prefer not to use that program, since it's buggy and appears to be abandoned as a program. |
|
Major advantage: Mail.app doesn't need to be open in order to check unread mail. Major disadvantage: You can't check more than one email account in the same instance of the widget. You have to use multiple instances, for checking more than one email. |
|
I love it! Main functionality is already there. There might be a few things that need some touch up. For example, I'd like not having to confirm my login & password when opening Picasa. but all in all, this is a great application! |
|
Hi, Pedro. I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention in the MacUpdate troubleshooting post, that I was able to use the program after dismissing that error dialog. And it seems it didn't show up after that. Anyway. I downloaded your silent update, UNO 1.5(241), and it seems to work just perfect now. No error screens or anything, so let's close this bug ticket and have a beer instead! Thanks. |
|
I got the following message while trying to run this version of UNO, v1.5. (I previously used v1.3.2 and replaced that version with this new one.) I have Powermac dual 2.5 Ghz (PPC), 1.5 GB RAM, running Mac OS X 10.4.9. --- AppleScript Error 2007-03-24 20:20:55.814 defaults[2814] The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication, AppleAquaColorVariant) does not exist (!) --- |
|
I like it a lot! Only downside as it stand *right now*, is that its memory footprint is slightly higher than MenuCalendarClock, which I was using before. I get around 0.5% of CPU useage in my terminal 'top'. MenuCalendarClock was at 0%. While 0.5% isn't that much; having lots of small programs with this memory useage, can easily ramp up the mem loads. Nevertheless, I like this and will keep it in the menubar. I'm using Powermac dual 2.5Ghz (PPC), OS X 10.4.9 and 1.5 GB RAM. |
|
I highly wish I could use 7, 8, 9 and 4, 5, 6 on the numerical keyboard, to place the current piece in one of the Upper Left, Upper, Upper Right and Lower Left, Lower and Lower Right slots, respectively. Or even better, being able to assign my own keys to place the current piece. |
|
Here's a wicked (?) thought: How about Jon and Bartlomiej (Actiontastic / iGTD developers respectively) teamed up? Instead of working on two different (and free) apps, intended for the same purpose. I'm certainly not a GTD boffin, but to me, the concept and layout of Actiontastic and iGTD do not look too divergent. Still, of course, I somehow realize why there would be an understandable reason not to consolidate these projects, judging from the developers' standpoints. I'm not sure how easy it would be to just let go of (or reform beyond recognition) something that one spent countless sleepless hours to come up with... Just a thought (or wish, I should say). I find the idea especially intriguing, since it would be great to see something truly potential, yet free/donationware, hold its ground against the forthcoming GTD app (habanero) cooking at OmniGroup's. |

I love this app! But I have an issue to report. I use a keyboard layout that is not US standard (Swedish layout). And therefore I can't use the Forward/Backward commands in the Go menu, without having to edit the .Nib file for each update of PHP Function Index, and change it to something like Command-Left arrow/Command-Right arrow from the current Command-[ and Command-]. Is it considerable that the shortcuts change into Command-Arrow keys instead? I think this is what, for instance, Safari uses, if I'm not mistaken. In anyway, thanks for a great app! |
|
The Activation Key doesn't bring up the calculator. I've set it to many different variations, but it simply doesn't invoke Calq... (I'm using: Powermac G5 dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro XT (256 MB), OS X 10.4.9.) |
|
. To the developer: This is not highly important, but the application icon appears to be a little jagged around the edges. On your website, there's a .png version of the icon, that is a lot smoother. You can easily convert .png's to .icns icons with for instance, Iconverter (available on MacUpdate). Thanks! |
|
I think the knobs looks a bit odd. And a short letter or description should be included under the knobs, for easy hints on what they do. |
|
The price is obviously targeted towards corporate people. Mere mortals will have to look elsewhere... |
|
How does this compare to Luca: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21422 ? |
|
This is just my opinion, and others might think the opposite. But I found the interface to be a little obtrusive. I certainly don't want this tool to pop up on any and every single applicable file that I'm hovering the mouse over. I might very likely be missing something crucial here, but after my quick evaluation, I decided to pass this one, since I couldn't find any Preferences in order to set it up, so that it pops up less often (and only when I want it to). In such a case, where there IS a Preferences window somewhere in MacGizmo, please forgive me for missing it, but nevertheless, in that case I would suggest that the developer make it more clear how reach it. Lots of people evaluate (software) products in a matter of seconds. And if you don't feel right at home from the start, you simply toss it away. So there's probably some room for improvements there. I also found the window's graphic style a bit unconventional (which doesn't necessarily have to be all that wrong). Adding an option to set it to normal Finder style ui graphics would be great. Even adding a second, more clean and elegant graphic style would be prefereable. Something like the smallish windows in Aperture, where the windows are all different gradations of black (with transparency in them). This is meant as constructive criticism, as I'd love to see MacGizmo become a great app, since the main idea and concept are all great. And because of my very quick/limited/intolerant test evaluation, I'm not rating this down, as I might have missed some major qualities in that short time. Good luck with further improvement! |

Works perfectly on my PPC, Mac OS X 10.4.9. I wish that I could also convert images (.Png's, etc.) into Mac's icon format, --> .Icns. <--. Thanks for a great program! |

Quicksilver plugin?! Now, that is the right kind of thinking. Go, go, go, Bartlomiej Bargiel! Things are really starting to flower, in this app. |

Feature request: Sorting feeds in folders, for easy cathegorizing. Also, maybe some kind of system menu bar access? |

I wish for 2 major things: 1.) It would be great if it remembered the game state, if you quit the app and then open it again. 2.) Simple network play (at least in a LAN). Otherwise, looking real good! Thanks! |

Java "powered"... |

Operation is a bit flaky. Pressing the designated keyboard shortcut doesn't bring up the exposé feature right away, and in most cases not at all (although it does work *sometimes*, about 1/10 of the times I press it). I wasn't allowed to evaluate this for more than a mere 2 minute, since I ended up in a situation where I seemed to have 'used up' a certain number of times that I'm allowed to invoke TabExposé in evaluation mode. Frankly, I don't see what huge advantage TabExposé would bring to the table, over the normal Exposé. For a v1.0 release, at least it should be working flawlessly. For me, it didn't. Although, I'm not sure if that's having anything to do with the fact that I have three other plugins installed for my Safari; SafariPlus, PithHelmet and TabStop. |
