About Dwimmerlaik
I'm a crossover user from the Windoze world. I've been using and supporting PCs for over 20 years, but the new Intel Macs intrigued me to the point where I just had to buy one. I haven't regreted that decision at all and, in fact, it's the best one I've ever made. :)

DWIMMERLAIK  I'm having the same issues with 4.0b1. I reported them on the Glims website. Hopefully it won't be too painful a fix.

Smultron
Nov 27 2007

DWIMMERLAIK  Wonderful app. I discovered this one when I was looking for a good replacement when I converted from Windoze to Mac. :)

One suggestion...would it be possible to create/enable a setting to set Smultron as the default Text Editor? I like to keep things fairly simple and when I double-click on a *.txt document and it opens in the default Text Editor, it annoys me. Sure, I can right-click and tell it to open with Smultron, but if there was a system-wide default setting that could be configured, that would be ideal.

GMAPPER  Dwimmerlaik,

If I understand you correctly, you want to set Smultron to be the default app for .txt files. This is actually supported by the Mac OS, and can be done for any file type/application, similar to the file associations in Windows.

Just select a text file (any file with the .txt extension) in the Finder, go the "File" menu, and select "Get Info". In the Get Info window, you'll see a section called "Open with:" From that area, you can select the application that you want to be the default for this type (in this case "Smultron"). Click on the "Change All..." button, and you can make it the default application for all text files.

Hope that makes sense.

DWIMMERLAIK  I can't seem to get it working under Leopard either. I've tried both the PlugSuit and the SIMBL method and neither work.

Movie Collector
Jun 15 2007
****.

DWIMMERLAIK  Initially, I was quite pleased with the Movie Collector product. I happily input each of my DVDs, typing each of the barcodes in by hand. Shortly after acquiring the software, I saw the barcode scanner offered on the Collectorz.com website. Unfortunately, that has proven to be less than useful.

The scanner itself seems to function adequately; however, the interface to the Mac is inoperable. The troubleshooting pages on the website instruct users to install the drivers provided with the device, no drivers were included in the packaging. There is a helpful link provided to the drivers which I installed; however, the software continues to inform me that it cannot locate the scanner even after multiple reboots, reinstallations of the drivers, etc.

So, I'm forced to seriously downgrade the rating on the "Ease of Use" category given the troubles I've had trying to get the scanner, which was designed to work directly with the programs, to actually WORK with the programs.

DWIMMERLAIK  I agree that a feature to allow it to be hidden on the dock would be very nice. The dock gets cluttered enough as it is without background applications occupying a slot.

Other than that suggestion, it's a nice little program that does exactly as advertised.

CrashPlan
May 6 2007

DWIMMERLAIK  While the peer-to-peer backup functions and the online backup are both exciting features, Code 42 unfortunately left out the more often used backup strategy of external hard drives or network attached storage.

I do like the option of backing up my important files to another computer or to an online repository; however, I prefer the simplicity of being able to backup to an external USB or Firewire drive.

Based on reviews I've seen for CrashPlan, Code 42 is planning on adding in the functionality to backup to external drives, but if that's your only solution for the moment, I would suggest looking elsewhere until this feature is added.

Logitech Control Center

****.

DWIMMERLAIK  Unlike the previous version, this one actually worked completely with my current hardware. I use a MX 1000 Laser mouse when my laptop is "docked" and a V320 Cordless Notebook mouse when I'm out and about. Up until this release, my V320 wasn't even detected by the LCC. With this release, it's now being detected correctly and I'm able to configure all of the various options.

I can relate (somewhat) to the frustration expressed by other users and I do agree that Logitech has released some crappy versions in the past, but with this latest release (2.1.4) it's actually working as it should and I don't have any real complaints.

Any improvement to the type/number of options assignable to mouse buttons?

They were pretty lousy for the MX-Revolution (which i bought to replace a worn-out MX-1000) but it broke down and went back to the shop anyway.

I got another MX-1000 and i'm using it with USB-Overdrive because i didn't want to install this garbage again.

I've never seen what's assignable to what for the MX-1000.

Not sure it will matter, since this NEW MX-1000 has developed a button skip similar to my first, but after only 2 months instead of a year. Plus the battery life has gone from several days to about 12 hours.

DWIMMERLAIK  Program does exactly what it says it does. Great little app for clearing house before starting up a game like WoW or any of the other processor-intensive apps.

Definite Thumbs-up!
