You said: "Well unless it works i dont see why i should give it anything but a 1." There's very good reason not to give it 1 star if it didn't work. Unless a large majority of other users are having the same experience, the problem lies with something you've done wrong, or something about your particular system. Since you haven't successfully used the software, it makes infinitely more sense to file a "Troubleshooting" comment than to rate it low. |

This just gets better and better. The 2.0.5 download link goes to Pangea's download page where another 2.0.5 download link takes one to the 2.0.4 download page on MacGameStore! Updater only updates 1.x versions to 2.0.4. Where the heck is 2.0.5? . |
|
Still no response from Pangea! |

I've always thought certain aspects of this application were pretty slipshod. When i attempted to create a custom icon for a disc by dragging or copying and pasting an image as it says, very few image formats were recognized, and PNG's with transparency (the most logical choice) lacked the transparency. The auto menu creation and templates aren't great either. You're allowed 3 lines of information but only the title is displayed. Plus, if the title is very long at all, it's truncated. It badly needs some sort of menu customization UI elements so you can get it looking right. The automatic chapter creation facility does a pretty terrible job too. |
|
Imagine that. They chose not to include a feature that would almost certainly get them into legal hot water! You should have checked the specs. Very few apps WILL copy encrypted discs. Fair use is dead. All hail the duarchic corpocracy of the RIAA and MPAA or off with your 'ead! |

I'm using spaces. Windows in all of them get crushed. There is a little gizmo called "SwitchRes" i used to use long ago, but i've got so many little things installed i haven't wanted to reinstall it. I stopped using it when many apps began doing something properly so windows didn't get smashed. |

Multiple emails to Pangeasoft going back to March 24th and NO RESPONSE. Apparently, while they've released this new version, they don't seem interested in supporting it! )8^H . |

I've never downloaded something from a site that i found would allow downloading multiple pieces simultaneously, or else something else on my system needs tweaking. I did need to resume a download on one occasion, but it seemed to be a function of how the server worked that it didn't allow it. I don't see a fast way to get things i want, *into* the queue. A lot of people really like these gadgets but i'm always wondering where they're downloading from that actually allows these functions to operate. My ADSL is suppposed to be 3027/640 but in practice i get about 500 kbits up, and 2.5 megabits down, btw. |
|
I've never really understood the download manager concept but thought it was time i see what the fuss is about. I essentially just want a way to quickly and simply add items from a site, queue 'em up and forget it. I don't quite understood the supposed speed advantage bit since nothing is going to retrieve data faster than my ADSL connection's maximum or pick through a website to locate what i need. If i choose "Add Files", i'm expected to have gotten all the URLs from someplace, to paste them into the dialog. Where files are so often served up by scripts and the like, i don't see how specifying login info and URLs is going to get the site to cough them all up. Rarely am i downloading where multiple pieces of a file can be obtained simultaneously, or downloads resumed. "Add Files From URL" doesn't fly either. It requires one URL to take it directly to the place to login, and to be able to get what i want as soon it's done so, without navigation, or else start hoovering up every link that fits the criteria. If i want to just pick and choose (or filter) items from a particular page, either i have to click links one by one, specify where i want each file saved, and then click again to select the browser window to do the next; Or set a relatively permanent pref and click each link to have all go to the same folder. No way to choose many links from one page all at once and send them off to one destination? Getting some images, for instance, it's faster to command-click each link so it shows in a new tab, then go dragging items to a folder and closing tabs. Takes less time than getting them into the Speed Download queue! -- I tried the "Download Them All" add-on for Firefox. At least i could just click and get a list of all links on the page, quickly filter them, click start and they're all off the same destination without any further interaction. Unfortunately, it had it's own set of snarls, but free and simpler than this, if uglier. Yes, i know this has fancy P2P and FTP support; which i have no use for. Maybe i just don't get it. . |

I couldn't get the contextual menu to send files to ABFRX so i checked here and found out there was a newer version. Installed it. No change. . |

Very addicting little game. I've barely begun to explore all the variations and difficulty levels. Graphics look great. I agree the background music could use a little more variety but it's not too intrusive. Mostly i've not had stability problems, though once when i picked a particular resolution, the screen went black and didn't come back. I could hear sound but clicks and keys didn't have any effect. I had to restart the system. 3 things on my wish list: -- Option of keeping open a small display of health of multiple orcs in addition to being able to click for details. (or perhaps an option to display a little number or % of their heads) -- Ability to swing the view around as well as zooming in. (say option + mouse movement and scroll wheel perhaps?) -- Choice of starting with different amounts of gold (my apologies if this is in some variations i haven't tried yet) . |
|
BTW, i've never had the background helper use an even noticeable amount of CPU. And ControllerMate isn't just to give your mouse more functions. I've given my Cherry keyboard F13, F14, and F15 function keys, corrected the placement of alt/option & command/gui (i know, that's in prefs, also), caused the 'Num Lock' and 'Scroll Lock' LEDs to indicate things applicable to Mac, as well as restoring volume-up, volume-down, mute, and eject as Control+ numlock, keypad-/, keypad-*, and keypad--, respectively! Simulated Eject responds MUCH faster than the Eject key on my old crud-catching Apple keyboard did. I was even able to fix 2 problems i sometimes had when gaming with my Logitech MX620 mouse. Sometimes during heated play, when i would press the "Search" button (right next to the left mouse button), i'd accidentally press left-click also. With ControllerMate, i programmed the two to be incapable of operating simultaneously. Ditto for left scroll-wheel tilt and right-click. Easy to accidentally press the right mouse button when only intending to click left-tilt. Just programmed them not to function close together. What other universal gadget driver will allow you to create a keyboard shortcut such as {command(left)-command(right)-option-F}, simulate keystrokes that don't exist on your particular keyboard, enable/disable parts of itself depending on which controllers are present, and what software is running?! Amazing stuff can be done with this thingamajig! It's actually fun seeing what crazy things you can get it to do, and how it can make different devices interact. Well worth $15! |
|
Eh. So you can't set it up lickety-split like Steermouse or USB Overdrive. But this thing is SERIOUSLY cool, and EXTREMELY versatile! It just takes a little time to get into it's groove. Practically endless possibilities for making all kinds of gadgets do all kinds'a bizarre functions. Tech support has been A+, too! Here's a Dev that actually listens to what people say! I've only had it seriously choke once, whereat my system became completely oblivious to left (primary) mouse clicks. Had to restart the system and that would have had to be accomplished with the actual power button, had i not had my Wacom tablet to fall back on. . ('Playability?' Reviews as a game?) . |

Quirks list: * -- GOOD -- It's possible to set prefs to load ALL preset values for a new record, or JUST menu and slider values. -- BAD -- When setting an EXISTING imported record to conform to a Preset while prefs are set to load Preset values, the existing data is OVERRIDDEN! * Every time one brings up a Record window, it's in the same place, instead of where you had the last one. * Record windows must be explicitly closed with the widget or command-w, rather than just clicking 'save', even though the record window cannot be used to browse other records, so cases when it needs to remain open after saving aren't all that common. * Though creating a new database is much LESS likely than creating a new default Preset record, the easier keyboard shortcut (command-n) goes to the database, while the more difficult one (command-shift-n) is for the record. * Can't remap the keyboard shortcut for creating a new blank database or a new blank record using Apple Prefs because BOTH menu items are in submenus and have the name "Blank". * Import into a Menu field doesn't create the menu items (more of a wish) |

Data Guardian has vast advantages over the awkward, "Steel" which i used for the last couple years. The flexibility of DG databases and it's vastly superior UI are a big relief. However, having had to import my exported Steel database from a simple tab delimited text file, i was made acutely aware of some less-than stellar import performance. Some tweaking of the text file before hand was necessary before DG would import it without garbling it due to some text fields having 'CR' line endings within them, which DG failed to ignore though it was supposed to be looking for 'LF's as endings. Still more work was required after importing the text file because while fields can be specified to fill with the data, DG doesn't assign a specific category template. Using "Bulk Edit" to assign them had a few glitches also. Also, i wish "Bulk Edit" had more editing criteria, in general. I found it a bit annoying that DG required the use of the "Quick Browser" window rather than just allowing browsing with an open record window. I kept looking for "Next/Previous Record" buttons. While i find this to be a far more satisfactory application than several others i've tried, DG is NOT without it's rough edges and a few odd behaviors. . |

When my net connection failed, I noticed Enigmo 1.3.2 and 2.0 both insist on calling home to 1 of 3 web sites or the app auto-quits. Also, 2.0 always pops up an annoying nag screen that says "Enigmo 2" is available. . |
|
Hurray! Nice to have a UB version! Boooo! It was made in a big hurry and has bugs and oddities 1.3.2 didn't have. 1 - Sometimes the bouncy faces of the purple drum render perpendicular to the rest of the drum when you hold the "shift" key for aiming. 2 - The Lava is a lighter GREEN than the oil instead of red 3 - It won't load old saved game files, though the dialog box misstates the problem as "This saved game file is not compatible with this OLDER version of the game." 4 - A time or two the Open/Save dialog came up without "Default Folder". Haven't figured out why. (Mac Pro - 7300 GT - OS 10.5.2) . |
|
A very cool program, but i don't have enough use for it to buy. 8^( Can't say much about the user interface, myself since i haven't used it to the extent that problems leap out. |
|
Cool! Bloody. Very steep learning curve. |
|
The registration may be fixed for Leopard, but other items need some adjustment. If you pick full screen, it reduces the resolution to a very small size, so when you quit, every other window you had open has been crunched down to 640x480! I keep Mail, Photoshop, and a Browser open most of the time and at specific window sizes and layouts. Don't much appreciate them being smashed. |
|
It sounds like that "human element" you're referring to is the quality of making mistakes in not always going with the statistically most advantageous move. The setup doesn't allow for anything else. |
|
Nothing in version 1.2.2 has changed my mind. . |
|
Since it's switch from a "Mac" app to a windoze-first/Mac-second app for version 6, Word has been the one of most horrid pieces of software ever devised! Whether i prefer Mellel or Nissus, is undecided. |
|
Pulled this out after a long time away. Still one of the all-time greats! Seems to run fine on my Mac Pro 2.66 GHz under Leopard 10.5.2! Looks great on my 24" monitor at 1900 x 1200, too. . |
|
Created and/or fixed up in Photoshop and then scaled and dropped into IconComposer. |
|
Makes no sense to me either. But i created an icon based on the Tiger-style front-on blue folder PNG that was lurking in the CoreTypesBundle in Leopard. I don't know what else there was to it. When i copied it to a folder, the icon wasn't clickable. I looked around for as much info on Leopard icons as i could find but didn't find a reason. Deleting the custom icon fixed the problem. Some folder icons i'm using now, which have a greater degree of transparency, but were created without using IconDroplet, (img2icons i think) work fine. I have had IconDroplet icons work fine. Other times, not. |

This altered install location SNAFU is enough to really CHEESE A PERSON OFF, but that's just the beginning! I ran the installer feeling that it's use was a bad sign to begin with, carefully pored over the readme (remembering what a pain in the nether regions this thing was back in the day), and couldn't find anything about where to find anything. After the install and a lengthy fruitless look in all the logical installation locations, i did a spotlight search and it too came up empty. Ran the installer AGAIN just so i could look over the readme AGAIN to find out where to locate the stupid thing. No help. Opened up Terminal to have a look in more obscure locations. Still couldn't find a bloody Privoxy folder. Tried the 'man' page. Worked, but no help as far as finding the rest. Went to the online manual and read where it said to look. NOT THERE! Cranked up Pathfinder and did a search. By then Time Machine had done a backup so i got a lengthy list of files and locations. What?! It's scattered all over in a bunch of directories not normally visible! Finally i went to the tracker and found the "Why the changed install location?" entry and read through a bunch of discussion which gave some reason to hope. Decided to check here for a new version or just express what a non-Mac-like disaster this thing is! What DO the developers have against simplicity?! . |

How is C4M not free? . |

I'll be very interested as soon as it's in English! |

I rarely have had either Firefox or Safari crash. All have their points. Some things i like about Safari but generally it gets on my nerves quickly. Having plugins for Firefox is nice, but so many break every time there's an update. The UI is so un-Mac-like and kinda clunky. Skins to even make it look halfway decent that are OS X compatible are scarce. All is okay most of the time, though, because i stick to Camino. 8^) |
|
I really like this little gizmo, but YEOW, that's way outa the gizmo price range! . |
|
With a name like "Kitty Spangles" i thought it was going to be nauseatingly cute. It's not. This is one of the most clean, simple, polished UI's i've seen. A couple of cartoon characters on the face cards are of no consequence. I like the lack of so-called "vegas scoring". Needs a few minor tweaks to winning and scoring info, but NOT to the appearance or function. . |
|
Come on... "Doll Like"? It's got one of the best thought out, most polished interfaces anywhere. With a name like Kitty Spangles i thought it was going to be terminally cute, but with this level of excellence, a coupla cartoon characters doesn't matter much. What's this "gender neutral" nonsense anyway? |

I think people are expecting a software review, not your life philosophy. |

I don't see anything here or on the web site saying what changes have been made since 6.8. :o\ . |

I would have given Pangea Arcade a straight 5 stars were it not for a few needed tweaks, and the fact that not all 3 games are created equal. All the eye (and ear) candy, including the game choice/option screen is exceptional, especially now that the flicker has been eliminated. Until it was corrected, i didn't know that it wasn't intentional, but i've noted the graphics now appear significantly more crisp. Great soundtrack! Makes me feel like i'm in a Star Wars movie. I still think the anaglyph display mode would be much more useable with some color calibration tools, and some changes to the rendering so there's less of a pink hue. (check out NASA Mars anaglyphs) More important is the lack of capability to custom map keys and mouse functions. My arrow keys are taking a beating. ---- I'm completely addicted to Nucleus. Sound, graphics, and playability are all excellent, even if i am having a devil of a time getting past Neon! Amazing playability considering the graphic density. ---- Warheads is almost as good. Having the 4 zones gives a good mix of play and the graphics are interesting. However, the speed at which difficulty increases keeps me from playing it extensively. I miss having some way to restore structures. Could use a bit of something to give it more variety. ---- Firefall is easily the weakest entry. Ambrosia's Apeiron was such an excellent Centipede-alike, Firefall falls very short. Play is only so-so. Dying is too easy while control is difficult. Both keyboard and mouse produce imprecise accelerating movement. Firefall feels clunky, as if given less attention and refinement than the others games. Graphics are comparatively uninteresting. If i were rating it alone, i'd give playability a 2 for awkward control, and a 3 for the less interesting appearance. . |
|
Once an .icns file has been processed with IconDroplet, it's possible to copy the icon to a folder via the Get Info However, once the icon has been copied to a folder, that folder then cannot be clicked! It can be selected by clicking the name, but NOT the icon. |
|
Yay! I was hoping for a Leopard version! |

What the hell are you talking about? A "proving scheme"? Nothing more is needed. If all rolls are randomized before the game begins, stored to a file which can be examined, the player can choose either of the prerolled sets, and the predetermined rolls can be matched while playing to make sure they're the ones the game actually uses, what method can you propose which would still allow the computer to have an advantage based on rolls? Even if rolls were precalculated instead of randomized, the player can switch sets and the rolls cannot possibly favor both players unless they differ significantly in the way they play. The only other possibility would be that the pseudo-random number generator isn't truly random because it's incorrectly written. That would give one player or the other an advantage in some games, but a disadvantage in others. I've played many games and kept track of the numbers of all possible rolls that came up, and statistically they neither favor either player, nor are skewed in any particular way! End of story. Any particular anecdote about the computer making some unbelievable come-back or whatever can only be due to it's making the statistically most advantageous moves with each roll in a particular circumstance where the random numbers happen to come together in a way that allows that anecdotal tale to take place. |
|
I know exactly what i'm talking about. I took notes while i played many games. Doubles and all other rolls evened out for the players. Please explain how the computer player can get rolls to counter yours when all are prerolled before the game begins, and you can not only look at the list, but trade positions with the computer. |
|
Tried it with my Saitek P2900 Wireless and it was pretty much a disaster. . |
|
Badly needs an update to 'y'. Or hopefully to version 1.0.0? Nothing for a long time. 8'o( . |
|
I don't understand *what* you are talking about. |

ericbob said: -------------- I have Apple's pathetic "dock" thing "hidden" by way of anchoring it to "top," which actually means the 1 pixel space just below the menu bar. -------------- How did you do that?! That's exactly what i need; to keep the dock hidden without having it shut down, which causes other problems. (Using Leopard 10.5.1) |

"So far" didn't last long. Stick with Tiger. Leopard is a dog in cat's clothing! |

I can't believe this broke parts of Adobe Creative Suite 3! Media applications are Apple's specialty. Even more incredible is Adobe saying the fix will come from Apple! The only consolation is, i didn't buy Vista! X^D |

I'm glad my original post was a "Comment" and not a rated review. It was horribly wrong. Of all the upgrades since OS version 6.x when i started my Mac use with an SE, i WOULD choose this as the one to jump on board with before it's release! This has been THE most BUGGY, problematic upgrade of a Mac OS i've ever been through! (10.5.1 did NOTHING to help) I haven't had a chance to try Time Machine yet, but on the whole, this upgrade seems more cosmetic as far as user experience than any prior OS X upgrade. Speed of application launch and other finder functions is improved. Lots of small behaviors i haven't liked have gone away. Some of the visuals are better, some are worse, like these boring folders. Spaces is very handy. Quick-look and the new icon previews are useful. On the minus side, i've had more Apple applications and OS bits crash than ever before. Finder is more touchy than my worst times under Tiger and Panther. The DOCK crashed a few times; something i've NEVER seen before. Mail goes down if i breath wrong, and is riddled with bugs when it's up. Even after completely setting it up from scratch and importing my mail, it's a mess. I can't even begin to go into the details of the more than 35 significant bugs, wrong behaviors, and annoying problems i'm still struggling with more than a month after installation, and that's not including broken 3rd party apps. I will say that "Stacks" as such a highly touted feature, are a bad joke. Pretty much useless and without any controls to revert to tiger behavior or turn the ugly things off. I haven't even seriously gotten into the various iApps yet because i'm spending all my non-work time fighting this monstrosity's problems and reading the discussion forums, as Apple has little to say. I'm certainly not going to install iLlife 08 for fear it would throw an additional bevy ofbugs into the mix. Apple is supposed to make things that "just work". A few more updates and MAYBE this OS will. Right now it's more of a "dog that won't hunt" than a Leopard. |
|
"So far" didn't last long. Disappointing. |
|
I'm another of those folks who used this heavily way back. I registered version 2, upgraded to 4, and then 5 but haven't used since a couple OS's ago. I've used various launchers, finder substitutes, hot-key gizmos, and the like. I'm a digital pack-rat and organizational disaster area. Apple's new Leopard features like their pathetic "stacks" weren't going to do much for me. With 21.13 GB and 36,469 items just in my desktop folder, i decided it was time to give Dragthing another try in order to bring some order to the chaos. When i opened it up, Dragthing looked very familiar, yet so much more capable even than before. I'm very happy to find out my old registrations still function! As people have said in much earlier reviews, though it takes some significant time and effort to set it up when first run, the capabilities and variety of ways it can be used and configured to suit any particular user are flat out STAGGERING! If you can't make it suit you as an organizer/launcher, you looked examined it closely enough. The only reasons i can't say it's solved my problem is the magnitude of the problem. It really is the Rolls Royce of organizational tools. |
|
Ooh. That's SO witty. Dock and Dragthing are about as similar as a limousine with every conceivable option, and a matchbox car. Under very precise circumstances, they may look somewhat alike, but that's about it. |

Developer thought my review wasn't useful, heaven forbid, and since i could use some of this functionality, i thought i'd give 3D Maker another shot. Horrid UI was pretty vague. It's a bit minimalist on info, and the operations sometimes have to be conducted in the right order to work. Not always intuitive. > Your comments about the stereograms > made little sense and your comments > about the 3D glasses are mostly wrong. I was clear enough about the stereograms. What i said was true. Truly random patterns, especially at highresolution are TOO random, such that when viewed properly, it's possible to see the image as intended, or often as somewhat garbled. Only big blocky elements are identifiable, and an evenly distributed black/white gradient in the source didn't yield an evenly receding stereogram image. Even when using a fractal, elements had to be big and blocky to make out. Strange lines appear where breaks are made to alter depth, making them more confusing to the eye. Images were more successful using asymetric sample tiles. > 3D glasses come in many combinations > of Red and either blue/green/cyan. > And yes, blue and yellow/amber glasses > also exist. I didn't say blue/yellow glasses didn't exist, i merely said i hadn't encountered them. That's why i didn't comment on that type of image. My complaint regarding red/green glasses was not only because i hadn't heard of them, it was because where documentation referred to Red/Green, it was referring to what came out as Red/Cyan, the most common type. >As for the Convert button being disabled, > it would have been enabled if you > would have made a selection. The big > Select All button makes this very easy. I'm not stupid. I saw and tried the various ways of making selections, and for whatever reason, after using the software for a while, trying different things, making a selection would no longer make "Convert" available. Also, the "Multi Static" dialog box forgets the previously set # of colors. Zoom has it's own problems. When on, i loaded another image. When i turned zoom, off, the zoomed out image was the prior one. Conversion won't operate on a zoomed image. I like the animated 3D flag, but more choices as to it's appearance and output mode is needed. It animates quickly, but when captured, flows much more slowly. The "6 Sided 3D Cube" operates in a non-intuitive way; i.e. having to load the first picture and convert, before being able to load any others. And nothing in the UI indicates which of the 6 images will appear where. I also find it a bit odd that you are allowed to load an image for each face, but since there's no option to save animated rotation, only 3 of those sides will be visible. Also, while playing with various capabilities, i get the occasional pop-up of a blank window and a dialog with an error message, after which the app shuts down. All that said, this program has an interesting, if eclectic feature set and could be quite interesting if it they functioned in more intuitive ways and with more stability. (Mac Pro • 3 GB • OS 10.5.1) . |

Seems to have some snags under Leopard 10.5.1 I know some other taggers making use of MusicBrainz are appearing, but i liked this one. Universal Leopard compatible build anyone? . |
|
I might get this if 3 things changed: 1. It actually did something correctly once. 2. There wasn't a mysterious undocumented update every 5 minutes. 3. If it used a real version number instead of dates that keeps changing format. . |
|
At 20% off, $30 is too much for a tagger. But i'll now give it a test. Perhaps it's worth it. |
|
Excellent point. Highly unusual for a large developer to reply, let alone go into any detail. I haven't had issues with Fontlab Studio on my Mac Pro, but i haven't had a chance to use it since upgrading to Leopard. With the huge number of bugs in Leopard, i wouldn't be surprised if Fontlab Studio is goobered up. |
|
Too bad it's not an actual color picker, and updated for Leopard. |
|
I could go for this functionality in an actual color picker. |
|
A function i find myself needing that i was unable to find as a widget. All sorts of apps and functions in them go RGB or whatever TO hexadecimal, but few go the other way. But $10 JUST to convert colors?! I don't think so. . |
|
Perhaps this analysis feature could help this sorry chess player. |
|
I haven't much cared for synchronization apps i've tried in the past. Perhaps this will be the magic one i can deal with. |
|
I can't comment on Kiosk mode because i haven't tried it and don't have need for it. Having shortcuts and ad blocking on Safari is great. Other features aren't bad either. Simple interface, too. . |
|
Looks like this might have some advantages over even DropDMG which i use a lot. |
|
IconBuilder is very versatile and powerful, but as ever when i've tried it in the past, i find it's methodology of getting the job done overly complex, what with having to use grid files, and get them synchronized with settings in the filter window, and the rest. The ability to create custom grid files and work on toolbar sets *could* be handy for somebody. Perhaps for a pro requiring the cross-platform support it would be worth it to have all the flexibility of going back and forth between various formats and to pay $80, but i could come up with a dozen ways to make a simpler UI that didn't require all these grid files to get proper alignment. It would make more sense to have something similar to the simplicity of Apple's IconComposer, that would include dropping variants and output to formats other than .icns files, and have it integrated with Photoshop (or not). This to too much money for a bizarre UI. . |
|
I have CS3 in a folder within the Applications folder and IconBuilder works just fine. I don't know about folders farther afield. |
|
Too many reasons to really list here. This thing's great. |
|
Folder Glance sometimes fails to move items. The most recent incident was from my desktop to a folder within my documents folder via an alias. It worked when i made the move directly to the destination folder. (Leopard) . |
|
Nice game. Nice price. |
|
Seem to work fine as stated but it's an awfully round-about way to get a custom icon onto a folder to have to process the .icns file with this, then use 'Get Info', copy the icon from there, use 'Get info' on the destination and paste it back in.
Something like a contextual menu item to copy an .icns file and paste it directly to a destination app, file, or folder would make a lot more sense. . |
|
Yeah! Been waiting for a Leopard version. |
|
Needs a Leopard update. Can't deal with Leopard icons or permissions. |
|
Looks like a very unique concept. |
|
I don't want to get out of my depth here, but as far as i know, the main new restrictions on InputManagers are: 1- They *must* be in /Library/InputManagers 2- The owner and group must be root and admin, respectively 3- The group must not have write permission You might use 'Get Info' on SafariBlock and make sure everything's in order. Or Terminal. My permissions look like this: drwxr-xr-x@ 11 root admin ... SafariBlock Everything inside SafariBlock should also have have no write permissions for group or other. 'sudo chmod -R go-w /Library/InputManagers/SafariBlock' |
|
No luck with Plugsuit. . |
|
Did the trick here. Thanks. (Mac Pro) |
|
If you're interested and you haven't already, you might read the post by jlukas, which tells how you can use SIMBL and avoid the "launcher" with the current version. |
|
Well, since Leopard's "Stacks" are a bust, being essentially a poorly designed, quirky, step backward in Dock folder functionality with almost no user controls, Overflow is still THE app for this sort of thing. Stacks _should_ have been this good. . |

$40!? Either there's a lot of functionality i'm not seeing, or that's a horrendous price for a minor utility! |
|
A thousand pardons! It's NOT dead in Leopard. • Put SafariBlock in /Library/InputManagers/ • In the Terminal, type 'sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/InputManagers' • Supply an admin password • Start up Safari Yay. |
|
Well, excuse me all to bits! Decided to give it one more try, and PRESTO. It works. Unfortunately, i can't get any other input managers to work. |
|
I had done the "chown" bit and a lot of other things before i posted. Never got a single Input Manager to function. 8^( |
|
Dead in Leopard (Safari 3.0.4 5523.10) |
|
I can't get SAFT or any other input managers to work under either 'Plugsuit' or the latest SIMBL. |
|
Nothing working here under Leopard. I don't see anything getting moved anywhere, either. . |
|
So far, so great. In addition to the new goodies, as has sometimes been the case with past version upgrades, i notice many things are faster. Photoshop opens amazingly quick, for instance. The usual minor teething problems because of some things not yet being compatible. Hmm. I take it that last non-sentence didn't meet with the grammar checker's approval. Nice to know it's on the job. Though sometimes a wee bit slow, the document previews on icons improves visual identification muchly. Also, some small annoyances caused by certain behaviors which have dogged the finder since Jaguar have disappeared. Likely still lots to discover lurking in the bits. Haven't been able to experiment with Time Machine yet because i haven't purchased a suitable drive. |
|
I think these are more interesting than bejewelled. On those i reached a plateau where it wasn't interesting enough to put in the work to get farther. |
|
I, too recall reading something about input managers not being supported. There must be *some* way of extending Safari. I'm not using it without an ad blocker! |
|
$17 seems a little high, but as far as use, i've been using Folder Icon X every few days for years. At the rate i collect stuff and folders multiply, i need visuals to help distinguish them. |
|
I've used this a lot in recent year. I hope there will be a universal binary Leopard upgrade! |
|
LEOPARD DAY! Does this work with the version of Safari in Leopard? |
|
I have 1 pair of high quality anaglyph glasses, as well as two types of cheap cardboard ones. Whichever i use, the game elements show significant red ghosting. This thing badly needs a calibration screen of some kind. |
|
Was looking for something like this a while back. Can't remember what for, unfortunately. |
|
Very nice little set of games. |
|
Choosing files to be renamed with the contextual menu works only once. If ABFR is running, the contextual menu will bring it to the front but the files don't appear. |
|
This is currently my favorite editor by a pretty large margin. I used to use BBEdit but it just doesn't have the clean interface this does, and it has a lot of arcane features i don't need. Coda has what i need so far, and includes some very nice touches. |
|
Seems like one of the nicer site creators. Good for use with .Mac. |
|
Since new Macs are Intel, Fontlab is already available for windoze, and Apple's development tools are quite versatile, i would have thought creating another Intel version, albeit for a different platform, wouldn't be such a huge task. And with all Macs now having been Intel-based for a year, it seems the time for which a PPC only version will be acceptable is rapidly waning |
|
UB forthcoming? |
|
One must still concede that at this late date, converting to UB is way overdue! |
|
Has disagreements with FontExplorerX. Though LinoType FontExplorer X finds various PostScript fonts to have missing outline files for some styles, FontDoctorX gives them a "PASS" on all tests. Since FontExplorerX can determine that the styles *should* exist, i assume there's data about them in the suitcase. Therefore it seems to be FontDoctorX which is mistakenly giving them a PASS on the "Missing PostScript Fonts" test and making no repairs. |
|
I too have a display that rotates, but in addition to that, games choose to use stretched aspect ratio, and you can't get to the menu bar. |
|
This could be very useful. |

_ I've had this sitting around on my drive for some time and finally got around to checking it out. Brilliant! Extremely original. Zuma has SUPERIOR game play. No nasty surprises or quick plateaus. It's got a beeeautiful learning curve and some hidden subtleties. I've considered Pop-Cap to be above average at this sort of colorful, graphical, musical, stuff, but this is a cut above, even for them. Music and sound effects are exceptional. Very enjoyable. Extremely addictive! Cons? None, really. It _could_ use a UB update, though i've not noticed a single blip running it on my ICBM. I'd like to see a more level designs, although since i've not made it past Stage 6, perhaps there's something waiting for me still. |
