DP-G4-450GUY  Plenty of freeware out there that does this better.  
(Version 2.0.4)

DP-G4-450GUY  Mannfred, it's because as a Mac user, I expect the "Macintosh experience" - ease of use being part of it.

The app is very easy to use - no complaints there.

But a ReadMe with a list of the relavent URL's would be a great edition to have so I don't have to go hunt them down.

I'd even bundle the instruction-movie you made into the installer - the additional size is neglible and it is very helpful.  
(Version 2.0.4-283)

DP-G4-450GUY  Ignore the open-text comment - I see the right-side

panel stays open from the last session - so I have a

TOC readily available - happy with that.  
(Version 2.0.4-283)

DP-G4-450GUY  There's no "problem" with it -

the issue here is the Macintosh experience - what Mac users want to see from a developer and why we use the Macintosh - ease of use being one of the primary factors.

As I said, a small read-me txt would go miles in fixing the perception.

I'd actually recommend bundling the movie you made into the installer download, for that matter. It's very helpful. Adding to the download size is not an issue.

I find this latest release to be in good working order btw - good job.

Oh, since the app saves the right-side panel being 'open' from the last launch, I can just click on a chapter to open the text, so never mind my 2nd review comment on that - I'm happy with things as-is.

Just want you to tweak a couple things.  
(Version 2.0.4-283)

DP-G4-450GUY  Alright! This edition works in Snow Leopard 10.6.2.

Installer still needs work - a ReadMe txt file is needed badly.

After scouring the various web sites, I found the Movie instructions (which a ReadMe should state the URL for) and pulled down the latest zip's of the texts I wanted - I manually installed them - makes life easier but good work on the module-installer function.

One complaint - it's irksome that after selecting a text, I have to type a chapter to get it to open in the workspace - the start of the text should just appear - then if I want to skip ahead and so forth, I can type in what I want or choose it from the right-side panel. IMHO.

Looks like the application is on the right path. Needs better instructions in a ReadMe text instead of having to go to a wiki, a home page, et al - or at least the ReadMe should give the direct URL's to these pages.  
(Version 2.0.4-283)

DP-G4-450GUY  AGAIN, no read me file in the installer.

(Mannfred, even drag-n-drop installs are known as the installer, as far as the DMG is concerned - that's standard Mac lingo.)

It would take VERY little effort to write a small text file on how to intall the modules. Copy/paste the relavent parts of the web page or forums into a text file and bundle it.

I'm going to play with this latest update and hopefully it will work. I loved the old 'sword and really want this application up and going like the old days.

SL 10.6.2  
(Version 2.0.4-283)

DP-G4-450GUY  http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/

Install the LAME for Audion for Mac - issues solved without

all this stupid terminal hassle.  
(Version 3.98.2)

DP-G4-450GUY  STILL does not work!

I don't understand why the developer continues to issue

public updates for Snow Leopard that just do NOT work.

Sure, bugs are expected in alpha/beta/Release Candidates

but they should basically WORK.

For one thing, the installer come with no Read Me or anything,

just the application.

Secondly, the CrossWire page does not correspond with the

actual program - example, it calls for creating a "Sword" folder

under App Support - but the program creates a MacSword folder.

This is pure laziness not to get your FAQ/help/support pages

in line with the application.

Secondly, what is stated as far as modules are concerned under

preferences doesn't even exist in the application!

There is still no accurate, simple instructions for getting

the application pointed towards the modules or where to put

the modules.

Developer, spend some time getting your ducks in a row, PLEASE.

This used to be a wonderful application.

I'm getting very worried about its future.  
(Version 2.0rc4-246)

DP-G4-450GUY  PLEASE add an 'a' or 'b' to your rev numbers

for alpha and beta product - thanks.  
(Version 2.0.3)

DP-G4-450GUY  3.0.9 still has several crashing problems that first appeared with 3.x.

I wonder if the developers have more or less concentrated on 3.1.x to be the overall release to address these issues?

It's not a matter of corrupted prefs, etc., etc.

Brand new installs on fresh installations of OS X 10.5.6 are experiencing the same old problems. If you haven't seen these problems, very happy for you, but you obviously aren't using the browser on sites or in ways that exhibit the problems. A quick look-thru at Bugzilla for FF 3.0.x will show you the many remaining issues.

As such, I'd recommend EXTREME caution using 3.0.x as a work-tool until Mozilla gets these issues resolved. The security problems of 2.x prohibit using it further, so 3.x is our main target for now.

Camino and SeaMonkey seem very stable at this time.  
(Version 3.0.9)

DP-G4-450GUY  Be vewy vewy quiet - I'm hunting wabbits!

ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!  
(Version 1.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  You pulled down the Intel version by mistake.

The PPC version runs just fine on PPC-based Macs.

You can run it on 10.5.6 - but 10.5.7 has various security updates and there have been other updates since then (from Apple) that you really should apply - Adobe is staying on the legally 'safe' side of the fence by stating they want YOU to be at the maximum security level before installing their product - protection from any liability - as every software developer will state in their system requirements. It's just using good common sense.  
(Version 9.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  "Fixed a moderately severe issue; details will be disclosed at a later date"

Excuse me ??

This is ridiculous.

What sort of guessing game are they trying to play here? How do I tell my bosses to 'hold on till a later date' on a moderately SEVERE issue, most probably relating to security?

This is very, very poor technical writing.  
(Version 9.64)

DP-G4-450GUY  Flac is not a standard that Apple supports - that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with iTunes.

The rest of your criticisms are purely subjectively cosmetic.  
(Version 8.0.2)

DP-G4-450GUY  What an idiotic article.

Hard to believe that tripe was published in what is purportedly a 'science' mag.  
(Version 2.0b1)

DP-G4-450GUY  HEY DEVELOPER - you need to gather whatever bug reports you are getting for a while and hang on to them and issue an update to cover them all instead of this update-de-jeur for OnyX 2.x.

It isn't very reassuring.  
(Version 2.0.2)

DP-G4-450GUY  I think you meant to say "Gecko" instead of "mozilla."

Currently Camino renders pages faster than Safari.

On many of the sites I visit, Safari seems to just "freeze" for a while, before eventually and more slowly opening the page.

And that ain't wishful thinking,

and I don't drink.

End of story.  
(Version 2.0.3)

DP-G4-450GUY  Version three dot seven dot sixteen dot six-two-one-oh?

Good app, and your naming schema is certainly your biznezz ... but ... holy hannah, batman!  
(Version 3.7.16.6210)

DP-G4-450GUY  Fortunately, under Leopard and the forthcoming Snow Leopard, the developer has no need whatsoever to release an "Intel version," as this program is so well-written it runs like lightning in 10.5+ 'Rosetta' environment - completely transparently.

Very useful and well-made software.  
(Version 3.0.3)

DP-G4-450GUY  Installed, seems to work fine.

So far no crashes or errors.

According to AOL this is designed by Mac users - hope so.  
(Version 1.4.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  iSquint

plus, it is free  
(Version 1.0d)

DP-G4-450GUY  3.0.4.0 starting to give "NoClassDevFound" errors.

The only changes that I can think of since it stopped working was the Quicktime 7.3.1 update.

Reinstalled the client several times, always the same failure.

Tomato works, however.  
(Version 3.0.4)

DP-G4-450GUY  BROKEN

Read the Flock info about crash-at-startup, deleted everything visible and invisible about Flock, reinstalled, still crashes at startup.

Went to fresh/clean 10.3.9 install volume, tried it there, 17 bounces in the dock, and crashed.

You have a serious, fatal bug with 1.0.

G4 dual-processor 450MHz PPC machine.

At this point, have to say thumbs-down.  
(Version 1.0)

DP-G4-450GUY  Not bad!

Good to see Netscape back in the Mac OS game again.

Sure, Camino/Firefox/SeaMonkey/Netscape all use the same engine, but the "variations on a theme" serve the users well.

For a beta-1, seems pretty stable / fast.  
(Version 9.0b1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Have NEVER had any problems whatsoever using an external DVD drive with Toast, Popcorn, or 2one!

Those sorts of problems are related to firmware updates needed, or a damaged OS X install.  
(Version 1.0.11.0330)

DP-G4-450GUY  I find every thing this product offers more or less easily accomplished with the freeware SnapNDrag. Unless one has lost the mobility of a finger, clicking is not an impediment to saving $20. Sorry.  
(Version 1.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  You have to be a REGISTERED paid owner of Toast to get the updates from Roxio - one must register / log-in to the Roxio Support site with proof-of-purchase.

There is no "direct download" of the software updaters.  
(Version 8.0.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  This is pretty nice, but, for now - for the MAC anyway - Azureus rules.

It is faster and is free - so - ....  
(Version 1.0b3v33)

DP-G4-450GUY  As a follow-up check, I re-installed 0.44x and it ran fine - so, either we've got an Intel-only build tagged as universal, or the system requirements are wrong, or 0.45-1 as posted has a bug (at least for Panther.)  
(Version 0.45-1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Same thing here - X11 launches, Inkscape 0.45-1 launches, thinks about it a bit, then Inkscape closes.

Are we 100% positive this version is compatible with 10.3.9?

I hope so and hope this may just a build-problem.

Me like Inkscape. Waaaaaaaaaah!  
(Version 0.45-1)

DP-G4-450GUY  OOOrg 2.1 IS PANTHER COMPATIBLE!

"Mac OS X Version: Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) [Change Mac OS X Version]

OpenOffice.org 2.1 will be the last version of OpenOffice.org to be supported for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).

for more information please read the log of the Mac Port meeting on the 10th November 2006 and a blog entry on the issue."

You must be having some sort of wrong-port issue going on - keep watching to make sure you are downloading from the correct link.

NOW - HAVING SAID THAT - the OOOrg community says the new Aqua version coming out requires 10.4.

That sux.

They also seem to think Panther is not widely used anymore - BIG MISTAKE.

Recent polls show some 70% of Mac users on Panther - not that many upgraded to Tiger - not enough incentive to.

But, since they seem to be using something intrinsic to the Finder in Tiger, looks like this is it. Very sad and not well-thought-thru.

Oh, well.  
(Version 2.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Nice, but, does the developer realize this also runs fine in Panther 10.3.9?

Running it right now.  
(Version 1.3.6)

DP-G4-450GUY  On Panther 10.3.9 with all updates including SU 2006-007, crashes upon launch. Sending a bug report to the developer. Maybe the universal binary compiled wrong?

Ratings based on older version for features but others on this latest.  
(Version 2.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Me too, Joe!

How's Ben? :)

One thing, tho' - Roxio MUST address the Music-DVD erratic track-order playback issue. This bug has been around far too long to be ignored.  
(Version 7.1.2)

DP-G4-450GUY  If Java 1.5 is a requirement, then the System Requirement is Tiger 10.4.x ...

The LimeWire page states that the official release is still 4.12.x ...

is 4.13 a beta?  
(Version 4.13)

DP-G4-450GUY  MU ADMIN - this may or may not turn out to be the 2.0 final release in its guts - but this is definitely release candidate 3 for version 2.0, NOT 2.0.

IMHO this should be removed at this time - and wait for Mozilla to change their Firefox product page to refer to 2.0 being officially released, where the "about Firefox" application pull-down screen will state it to be so.  
(Version 2.0)

DP-G4-450GUY  I think you need to get your head out of very negative thoughts.  
(Version 8.0b1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Nope, never had any font corruptions with Office.

Either you've got a bad application install, a damaged OS X install, or your updater itself is somehow corrupted.

Hey, it's magnetic media - these things happen from time to time. Ever imperfect.

That's why it's important to keep a good, solid, known-good backup on another drive.  
(Version 11.2.6)

DP-G4-450GUY  Nice "school project" but there is absolutely NO guarantee of security with this - which makes it very dangerous to use except for simply reading pages - and even then it could be broadcasting information you don't want sent.

This would probably push all of Securnia's buttons at once.  
(Version 1.1.4a)

DP-G4-450GUY  Buy what, it's free. ??  
(Version 2.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  So what, exactly, is the nature of your comment? To identify a specific problem to the developers and the users? You didn't do that.  
(Version 1.5.0.48)

DP-G4-450GUY  Admin - this release requires Tiger - 10.4. It won't launch under Panther.

The beta is inside the 10.4 folder on OmniWeb's FTP site - someone's made a goof in the release notes.  
(Version 5.5 beta 1)

DP-G4-450GUY  What are you talking about?

Eudora's had html support for years.  
(Version 6.2.4 b4)

DP-G4-450GUY  Left off - LiquidCD is Tiger-only.

Toast 7 allows the vast majority of Mac users who are still at Panther to use it.

Roxio is a major company, and their support will be vastly superior to what the LiquidCD developer can supply.  
(Version 7.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Update does what it says. Update ran flawlessly. Thanks, Roxio.  
(Version 7.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Laughable.

The "bloat" you state about Toast is due to the MANY MORE FEATURES available.

LiquidCD is a simple burner - which is fine - but it has less than 25% of Toast's features.  
(Version 7.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Fifty dollars for THIS??

Please.

Mellel or even Tex-Edit would be a much better (and far cheaper) choice.

Ragtime has many more features and a better pricing.  
(Version 3.7.2)

DP-G4-450GUY  No, they're "confused" because the GNU license seems to be violated by this app.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing this withdrawn ASAP after a couple legal notices are delivered.  
(Version 2006.3)

DP-G4-450GUY  ADMIN - this appears to also be a security fix release! (7.0.8) No info on what Securnia notice ID this addresses, however.

Per Adobe's Tech Knowledge doc:

Bug number Description

1289558 Forms: Opening and closing certain

forms can lead to a memory leak

various Fixes to address various Reader

crashes.

various Security: several security bug fixes

have been made, including one

considered critical. For more

(Version 7.0.8)

DP-G4-450GUY  There's nothing "wrong" with an http download, but, despite the claims of resumable http's being stable, the fact is that ftp still is much more solid and fast.

So, when available, alot of us prefer ftp.  
(Version 7.0.8)

DP-G4-450GUY  It's updating Apple's custom-vended "superdrive," mfg'd by Pioneer, but with Apple's firmware.

That's why an off-the-shelf Pioneer needs to have Patchburn or something similar run so that your Mac sees it as an Apple-vended drive.

If you have a Pioneer 109, 110, et al, you should just watch for when Pioneer issues firmware updates - this updater applies only to Macs that came with SuperDrives.  
(Version 2.0)

DP-G4-450GUY  Uh, yeah, that's what I said he needed to do originally.

I forgot DW hasn't been updated for Intel machines - my bad.

Anyway, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this update. THE TARGET MUST BE IN SOLID ORDER before applying it, but that's true of any software installation.  
(Version 2006-003)

DP-G4-450GUY  Um......

#1 - Critical data should ALWAYS be backed up on a regular basis. Additionally, this should be burned to disc from time to time.

#2 - One should ALWAYS have a safety-clone of their install stashed away.

Did you repair permissions prior to running the updates?

Did you boot from another bootable source - the Install Disc 1 or your clone and run a drive repair via Disc Utility?

Or better yet, a good 3rd party tool like TTP4 or DW3?

Magnetic media is a tricky thing. There's nothing wrong with Apple's updaters - you played on the knife-edge, and you got that one-in-100,000 cut.  
(Version 2006-003)

DP-G4-450GUY  They should put a "b" in their product version to make it obvious this is a beta program.

I'll pass for now.  
(Version 9.0.0.297)

DP-G4-450GUY  But that will be a decision made by APPLE, not the developer.

iChat's basic protocol is not under the developer of Chax's control .... currently it is set up only for AOL's servers and .mac acct's.  
(Version 1.4.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  This amazes me. Why would anyone pay good money for something that is so easy to accomplish using a small touch of effort?

Uninstall an app? Drag the app icon to the trash. Empty trash.

Associated files? Do a Find - on both visible and invisible items - on the applications name. The results will provide you with all the associated prefs, app support files, library files, etc. Select, and move to trash. Empty trash.

This might be useful for your grandparents, but .....

By the way, I'd be extremely careful using this since the method of testing it and number of testers is not documented well enough to get a safe feeling.  
(Version 1.3.3)

DP-G4-450GUY  Very stable, fast install / upgrade - thanks Aaron!  
(Version 2.2.11)

DP-G4-450GUY  You must also realize that X11 is a part of OS X - "universal" has to do with being both PPC and Intel hardware-based Macintoshes, not excluding X11.

X11 brings a whole range of 'nix based software to the Mac and should be embraced warmly.

NO ONE ..... is going to re-write GIMP as a Cocoa application. GIMP is open-sourced and HUGE. It would be a massive endeavor to re-write it from the ground up. And I would estimate that without funding . . .   
(Version 2.2.11)

DP-G4-450GUY  Why wait for koffice when NeoOffice and OpenOfficeOrg are already here for Mac OS X, and free?  
(Version 3.1.0691)

DP-G4-450GUY  Zip file appears to be corrupted - won't unzip.  
(Version 3.0)

DP-G4-450GUY  The logo as-is ROCKS!

I hope they keep it.  
(Version 1.0.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Actually, no, they couldn't. You can't boot up two OS's at the same time - Apple could, however, come up with their own EMULATION software, similar to SoftWindows, Virtual PC, etc. - which allows one to launch WIN and drag/drop between OS environments ....  
(Version 1.0b1)

DP-G4-450GUY  It would be nice to have some notes about what this update entails.

The Release Notes (linked above) have not been updated since 0.43 was issued - and there have been three (incremental) updates to 0.43 since that time.

Developer(s) please address.  
(Version 0.43.4)

DP-G4-450GUY  Ok, NetBarrier X3 worked FLAWLESSLY on Panther ..... if you, as an individual, were having problems, you had some sort of corruption on your machine. Kernel panics are usually the #1 clue to this effect - NOT "bad RAM" that gets quoted so often by the shoot-from-the-hipsters.

We've run NetB on a 500 seat, no issues whatsoever.

The price tag value is totally subjective - on a LAN or a particular individual's setup, it can be worth every penny.  
(Version 10.4.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  GIMP and Seashore are two different-goal applications.

GIMP is like Photoshop.

Seashore is a drawing app like Illustrator (very, very lite.)

GIMP has so many features crammed into it that it naturally has a much larger file-size.  
(Version 0.1.8RC4)

DP-G4-450GUY  What’s New

MouseWorks version 2.5 adds support for Kensington Bluetooth devices, adds support for additional European devices, adds a menu bar status item for displaying the Horizontal Scrolling state, fixes issues with systems using a UFS formatted boot drive, fixes issues with low battery detecton on some wireless devices, and makes other changes to enhance stability.

MouseWorks version 2.5.1 contains a minor change to fix an issue where some users were not having their Kensington ADB pointing devices detected.

MouseWorks version 2.6 added support for new Kensington wireless desktop solutions.

MouseWorks 2.7 added support for new Kensington pointing devices, fixed an ADB pointing device problem, and removed incorrect Low Battery reports for Bluetooth devices.

MouseWorks 2.8 added support for new Kensington pointing devices and wireless desktop solutions, and fixed a Low Battery reporting error.

MouseWorks 2.9 added support for new Kensington pointing devices and wireless desktop solutions. It also fixes problems with Bluetooth support under Mac OS X 10.4.3 and later.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.3 Fast User Switching, you must use MouseWorks 2.4 or later, since earlier versions will get very confused.  
(Version 2.9)

DP-G4-450GUY  Per Kensington:

Kensington MouseWorks® for Mac OS X Version 2.9

Requirements:

Mac OS X (10.1.5 and later) including OS 10.3 (Panther) and OS 10.4 (Tiger)

MouseWorks 2.8 supports Kensington BlueTooth mice and trackballs. BlueTooth support requires a BlueTooth enabled computer running OS 10.2.8 or higher.

Description:

A disk image archive of the full version of Kensington MouseWorks™ software (version 2.8) for Mac OS X (including Panther and Tiger).

Notes:

This version supports all Kensington USB and ADB mice and trackballs except:

• One-button mice

• Turbo Mouse 1.0-4.0 (the older, 2-button models)

• Orbit 3D and Orbit Elite

• ValuMouse products

Please see the read me file included in this installation for important information regarding this release.  
(Version 2.9)

DP-G4-450GUY  Ha ha ha!

Great reply!

But to get to the answer the original poster was asking for - MS bought Connectix years ago - that's why VPC now has "made in Richmond" on the box.  
(Version 2.0.1)

DP-G4-450GUY  Obviously the poster has never used/installed the full version of Panic's Transmit.

CyberDuck is fine, but, as the old adage goes "you get what you pay for."  
(Version 2.5.4)

DP-G4-450GUY  Meant to say MacIntel ONLY build ...  
(Version 2.0)

DP-G4-450GUY  The filename seems to indicate this is for the "Mac-Intels" - so I killed the download.

The official OOOrg site doesn't list this by this filename ... they have the official OS X release as under a

"... PPC" moniker.

If a MacIntel build it should be clarified in the description - thanks.  
(Version 2.0)

DP-G4-450GUY  FIRST - Aaron THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating a backwards-compatible dmg for Panther - I was afraid we'd been left high and dry for future GIMPage. You really came thru, bud!

That said, GIMP-app 2.2.10 runs great - installed with absolutely no problems on 10.3.9 up-to-date with all of Apple's latest updates.  
(Version 2.2.10)

DP-G4-450GUY  Licking your childhood emotional wounds in public over a saltwater crustacean is probably not appropriate on a software review site.  
(Version 1.0b)
