DYMO Labelwriter

*****

F451  No issues for me. Just thankful that I can use this great label maker and have been using one since they appeared in the PC market. My current model is a Labelmaker Duo. Yes, the DYMO software is not Apple GUI level, but it's pretty good and is has all the features I need. Plus, they keep refining it so I'm happy.

No crashes; no issues; no lockups; DYMO customer service is excellent.

Conjure
Sep 18 2009
*****

F451  I purchased a license when it was still version 3, and even the developer admitted it was not where it was intended to be, but I knew it had great promise. Version 4, and the advent of Snow Leopard has allowed Conjure to catapult its development and I could not be more pleased.

It is easy to see even Apple adopting what Conjure is now doing as the desktop (yes, I know Conjure is not the desktop, but emulates it) has never demonstrated as much potential as it does with Conjure. Please keep up the good work!I

Microsoft Office 2008
Jul 21 2009

F451  This service pack does exhibit a marked improvement, but it comes late in the game (as always with Microsoft in it regard to Mac).

I harbor no ill will toward Microsoft as Apple did have the upper hand in the eighties, but sat on its duff while Microsoft moved ahead. (Anyone here ever use MacWrite?) I am forced to use Office, but the compatibility of documents to and fro between the Mac to the PC platforms inevitably shifts something about to the point where proofing the documents wastes a substantial amount of time, but is necessary when others are demanding precision for legal or presentation purposes.

In a way I pity Microsoft, as I now do Hewlett-Packard, as these once great companies are a shell of what they used to be; both juggernauts are not doing well presently (although they would like you to believe differently) and have a questionable future.

TOXICTHREE  I agree.... I have a valid copy of the Office suite, but lost the discs and documentation when I had to move suddenly a year ago. I load this update and it suddenly says I have an invalid key!! Got no help (no surprise) from MS and none of the fixes I have read about worked.

I now have a 800MB piece of crap on my machine and no way to rejuvenate it. I'm keeping it in case I can find a fix in the future, but I'm more than just disenchanted at this point.

Microsoft Office 2008
Jul 24 2009

BACKPACKER  The Office removal instructions didn't work for me, either, nor did the Remove Office uninstaller in the folder 'Additional Tools'.

So it was the usually trusty CleanApp I turned to; it took many attempts, dragging various Office apps onto CleanApp, to trash about 1.5GB of Office stuff.

A lot of it was hidden in /private/var/folders/2N and /Library/Automater. Also many files ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx

Finally the Microsoft folders in /Library/Application Support and ~/Library/Application Support and ~/Library/Preferences nad to be trashed, and whatever was left in /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008

If nothing else, this showed that CleanApp needs improvement before it can digest Office in one chomp.

F451  Mailplane is for those who want a dedicated app that concentrates solely on Gmail. For example, my wife works on a Windows laptop that is carefully monitored and secured due the sensitivity of the data. She enjoys using Mailplane on my Mac when she wishes to check her Gmail account. Mailplane accommodates this very well without her having to open Safari, et al.

Better still is MailplaneÕs constant development addressing the needs of its users as the developer further delves into GmailÕs ever changing features. No regrets on purchasing a license for this outstanding app as it has easily become the headquarters for my many Gmail accounts.

PlugSuit
Jul 30 2008
*****

F451  This plugin is both misunderstood and maligned mostly by those who have not read the statement on Infinite Labs website that clearly states you must either run SIMBL of PlugSuit, but NOT bothÑyou must choose which one to use and delete the other. Another issue is that plug-ins that run on SIMBL typically reloads SIMBL so you have to be cognizant of this occurring and check to determine whether SIMBL has been reinstalled as this will lead to problems. I use File Buddy to check whether SIMBL has been reinstalled.

BTW, 1Password ceased using SIMBL eons ago so if you are running a newer version of 1Password there is no need for SIMBL as Agile Web Solutions decided to be independent of SIMBL.

Used correctly PlugSuit is very informative, and works very well with more control over the plug-ins that PlugSuit can monitor.

PlugSuit was there during the Leopard transition when SIMBL was not...sadly many are not thankful of this fact and have quickly forgotten the Leopard transition history. For my purposes PlugSuit is vastly better than SIMBL, although I have deep appreciation for both SIMBL and PlugSuit.

They believe that every developer misleads them into purchasing a license at a discounted rate then actually asking for an upgrade fee when they release new applications. I am just thankful the Mac world is seeing more applications to choose from.

I purchased a license when this app first came out I never even realized that there was mention of free upgrades that everyone seems to be complaining about as I am more interested in what an app has to offer, and that is the area I am willing to pay for regarding any software application; MailSteward has never let me down when comes to what it renders.

Important notice!

Dear WeatherDock users, it has come to my attention that the format of the feeds delivered by weather.com and used by WeatherDock have been changed, causing some undesired behaviour in the WeatherDock application.

I will investigate this issue and try to find a solution.

If this issue can be resolved then I will be posting a new version a soon as possible. Please check back later, or use the 'Check for updates' item in the WeatherDock menu.

They bundle their software together and the uninitiated lambast them without any historical knowledge of Panic. Even to the point where they suggest freebies that essentially ripped-off the initial version of CandyBar. Don't that beat all. The Mac community is changing rapidly, and I don't like what I see in the way of freeloaders.

WARCHILD13  I'm sorry you feel the need to support what to me is tantamount to theft. Your logic is absurd and this overtly emotional "not liking where the Mac Community is heading" is immature. You codify that with your inane name calling.

Freeloaders who pay for a package and then are offered no sensible or remotely fair path to upgrading are not freeloaders, they are victims.

I paid for a few other Panic programs and plan to find suitable replacements for them.

Combining twp programs and stripping features from both of them to effect the merger is not an upgrade in my mind.

Disabling the old paid for Candybar so that it is totally worthless is evil and undoes all the good will Panic had engendered in me in one fell swoop.

CABEL  Hi "Warchild13",

Thanks for your comments.

A couple questions. First, what features did we strip out of Pixadex and CandyBar 3? As best we can tell CB3 offers significantly more features than both programs had separately before, including complete 512x512 icon support, Quick Look, Icon Look, a whole new integrated interface, and much more. The only known removal I'm aware of is the "App Extras' section of CB2, which was cut due to incompatibility concerns with Leopard. Please let me know if there's something we're missing?

Furthermore, we did not disable CandyBar 2 — many people are still downloading/purchasing it today and using it under Mac OS X 10.4, and that's fine with us! Significant changes and new features in Leopard caused us to make CandyBar 3 Leopard-only, but CandyBar 2 continues to work fine under 10.4.

I'm truly sorry you don't think our upgrade path is sensible -- despite only being $13, we did provide nearly three years of free CandyBar 2 updates including, lest you forget, a totally free update to support Mac OS X 10.4.

We think you'll get well more than your money's worth out of CandyBar 3, but I totally understand if you disagree.

Thanks again for your feedback!

WARCHILD13  Look F dude. Grow up or at least try and learn to be an adult. Your childish suppositions and vague accusations are tedious, boring and plain old stupid.

As to CandyBar it is disabled in Leopard with no fix other than a 25 buck upgrade. This was clearly a greed or at least profit driven tactic with no concerns for the users who supported your product. It is a disgrace and would not be tolerated in any but the software field.

The stripped feature was the only one I used and that was to replace icons within apps. I do it by hand now, CandyBar was worth it to me only for the convenience.

Pixadex still works.

The only Panic app I still use is Unison, which I did pay for. I expect you'll kludge that soon enough. It has been unreliable in the past. The serial number protection being incredibly harsh - its the only app that still flashes purchase in the menu bar while it waits to load up.

There are good Mac software developers out there who don't abandon their customer base with every OS upgrade. I support them and will continue to do so.

CABEL  Warchild13,

I think you might have overlooked a couple of things I mentioned.

You say: "[Other companies] don't abandon their customer base with every OS upgrade." Good news! We don't either.

As I said, we released a major upgrade to CandyBar 2 to support Mac OS X 10.4 -- and it was TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE for all users, during the nearly three years that we released free updates. Similarly, Transmit, Unison, Coda, etc., all were updated to support Leopard, completely free of charge. And some of the changes weren't minor! CandyBar was our only, notable exception, due to the huge scope of changes we made.

As for changing your application icons by hand, you are more than welcome to do so! As a warning: if Apple enables the built-in code signing in a future Mac OS X minor update, your applications will simply no longer launch. This is what we're trying to safely avoid by disabling that feature until we get a sense from Apple of their plans.

(As for Unison showing the Purchase menu very briefly while it loads -- I suspect this simply a bug, and I'm surprised to hear that it's considered harsh or gets in your way. We'll look into it!)

Thanks again for your comments and feedback!

Information can be amassed, organized, deleted, movedÑvirtually anything regarding organization is doable in Leap. Add to this how responsive and open-minded the developers are and you have a winning combination. If you are fence sitting on acquiring a license I would think twice as Leap will be going up in price when it is out of beta. Currently, it is a rare Mac bargain.

Try it, submit your suggestions to the developers, and enjoy a great piece of software!

It's a great app--I find it indispensable and it still runs under Leopard--but I find it very irritating that in the menu bar it still says "Not registered" beside the app's icon. Plus, whenever I need to close the app I get a nagging prompt that I haven't paid--which is not true.

Some folks have suggested the developer, Alexandre Carlhian, may have died. If that's the case--and I'd never suggest this otherwise--perhaps someone could post a serial number for the app (or send one directly to me).

F451  Archaic licensing policy is the reason I will not be upgrading to the latest version. Goodbye SRS iWOW. Cool app, but insipid licensing. Hey, it's only a $20 app, why the hoop-jumping limited activations with no deactivation, and reactivation? Just plain stupid.

TapDex
Sep 22 2007

F451  I believe that you are misunderstanding the registration of TapDex. You can use it for free, but if you want what Yellow Mug is calling Pro features (the use of Vonage, and removal of Yellow Mug's small text line of their own product advertising) then you can buy a Pro license. You have to install TapDex to see what I am trying to explain. If you are not using Apple's Address Book, then TapDex is of no use to you.

Here is the description directly from Yellow Mug's website:

"TapDex is Free

We're making TapDex available for free as a way of giving back to the Mac community and getting our name out at the same time."

If you install it you will see what I mean about the Vonage its preferences. It only installs two files:

1) TapDexPane.prefPane

2) com.yellowmug.TapDex.plist

You can very quickly see what it has to offer, and delete it just as fast if you like.

Where it works exceedingly well, for me, is when my wife uses my Mac (as she uses PC for work on her laptop, but is under strict confidentially agreements, so her PC has no personal data on it, and cannot be used for personal use). She constantly asks me for telephone numbers and addresses, and this is the simplest means of her accessing the data.

Everything else you wrote I too share the same opinions. Apple has something brewing with Safari 3, and the iPhone, and it appears that they are trying to have syncing abilities (they we could only dream of in the past) come to fruition, but only through Apple related software. I do not necessarily agree with what Apple appears to be doing.

F451  First, I am not the developer.

Second, I have what you have, Jon's Phone Tool, and it sits around idling with allocated memory.

Third, I dumped Entourage ages ago.

Fourth, this developer does not force anyone to buy this app to use it, unless you want to use Vonage and stop his banners (banners that are not even an issue, more like a line that randomly mentions his other apps).

Fifth, why did you even bother to comment about it if you were simply going to demean it for the sake of argument?

Sixth, Spotlight is a dog. Use LaunchBar if you want to achieve better results or FIle Buddy if you want to go to the nth degree of locating files.

GreaseKit

*****

F451  First, I am thankful for this developer making this app. Second, the name is a misnomer as Grease Monkey has an entirely different meaning than this app's name, but no matter as the CreamMonkey does work. You must find and test those scripts of interest that may or may not work in Safari. Do not simply look for those tagged as Safari as there are only handful so tagged. The reality is that many more will workÑsome to varying degrees.

It is a small, but significant start as some of the Grease Monkey scripts are excellent.

WorkStrip

F451  As a huge fan of Workstrip I am sorry to see that it has disappeared. I see no substantiation about the circumstance of how SoftChaos disappeared, just hearsay.

There is no "time bomb" as version 3.2.3 was made for Intel and version 3.2.2 made PPC. So it you moved to the Intel version that is where the issue occurs if you are running a PPC.

Since Leopard has what I am looking for in the way of Workstrip's replacement I am simply waiting out Leopard's release as my version of Workstrip works with no problem.

Doc. have you tried removing SIMBL from your system and running this version on Safari 3.x? It works for me. If you have licensed Red Snapper, and FLVR, simply reload them afterwards.

It's a start, and the developer is clear about it shortcomings at this point, but there is nothing like PithHelmet, nothing. Mac users' are moving on from Safari 2.x. I'm using 3.x beta, and not returning to 2.x.

So for those who continually lambast this app for whatever reason, maybe they should consider situations where this might actually be very advantageous? The developer is very helpful too.

DOLPHINBOY2U  I love the potential of this plugin, but I had my Customize Address Bar menu item disable, as well. I emailed the developer today (2/14/2007), and received this reply from him within a few hours (which has resolved the problem for me):

=======

Do you perchance have SafariStand installed on you machine? We've discovered recently that there's an incompatibility between SafariStand and Red Snapper on some user's machines. We're working with the developer of SafariStand to come up with a fix for this problem. For now, temporarily disabling one or the other will fix the problem, and allow you to modify the toolbar.

Red Snapper can be uninstalled by removing "Red Snapper.bundle" from the "/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins" folder, emptying the trash, and restarting Safari.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.
