FRANSIK  Still works flawlessly to date (with Mac OS 10.4.7 PPC). Great open source app, whether you operate an own QTSS or want to export your play list in an elegant way. Cheers Trance Software!

FRANSIK  ...hello, check my comment right above yours.

As far as upgrading is concerned, I would not say if they would offer something special for existing (registered) users. But who knows, I guess it may worth asking politely...

Regards

PANKISEN  Well, not for me anyway. As far as I remember I payed for it and for certain got a license number by mail from Boinx Software. And, of course, I'm not very happy to pay a second time to say the least.

OLIVER BREIDENBACH  Mouseposé 1.x was free, but required a license key which was mailed to you at no cost.

US$9.95 is hardly a steep investment, about as much as 3 packs of cigarettes or a six pack...

PANKISEN  Well, all right then - my mistake. But why issue a license number for free software? All the same - I don't mind the price. It wont even buy a sixpack where I live. It's just that, due to the license number, i was to beleive I payed for it. But in the end, I think we both learned something from this.

Wired Client
Jul 11 2006
*****

FRANSIK  Great tool. And I do appreciate the French localisation much (English, French, German and Japanese are available). The only things I would miss here, a way to access to the server log from the client, as well as indexing/ restarting the Wired-Server (Administrator only, of course).

Anyway, this is definitively perfect for my purpose: exchange project-related files & messages with colleagues/ other freelancers overseas and while I am on the road (For example, you can hardly send a 150MB file per eMail that easily, and you do save time not having to explain anyone how to...)

Many thanks Zanka Software, again, keep up the good job :-)

Wired Server

*****

FRANSIK  Up and running in no time, secure thanks to strong encryption and free. And well, it has been localised too (English, French, German and Japanese), and provides a fairly nice user management! Simply awesome.

Of course, this is no VPN but as a Mac only software (for the client side at least) this is perfect for my purpose: exchange project-related files & messages with colleagues/ other freelancers overseas and while I am on the road (For example, you can hardly send a 150MB file per eMail that easily, and you do save time not having to explain anyone how too...).

Running beautifully on a 350Mhz G3 with 256MB RAM (Headless "Blue & White"; Mac OS 10.4.7)

Many thanks Zanka Software :-)

FRANSIK  Awesome, priceless, this piece of software simply rocks.

Heck among other more useful things, I can now even record TV using the DC30+ card (MJPEGA through an Alchemy TV PCI), while still working, a thing that would not even be possible using only a 466Mhz G4 (10.4.7)...

Thank you so much, and please, keep up the wonderful work.

FRANSIK  Smultron rocks, there is no doubt about that.

And yes, the newer icons, those introduced with v.2 are, well, ugly. Thanks Forrestwalker(!), and many many thanks to Mr. Borg (and to every single person working on the app, i.e. for localisation)

FRANSIK  Essential, works perfectly well, exactly as the previous version, but with a lovely addition, these new icons & the sound option (Growl support would be awesome too, whether as an add-on or as a replacement for those with quite little menu-bar space...) Running very happily on my 12" iBook G3 (10.4.7)

Deep Notes

****.

FRANSIK  ...basically, I could not agree more with previous poster Crucial.

As far as I am concerned, the issues I have:

- line breaks should be possible, right now longer lines are simply cut off

- text edit options are not those offered by other (Cocoa) programs, i.e. spelling or other text formatting options

While I am at it, these functions would greatly improve my use of the software too:

- print options for cards (Hipster PDA/ GTD like)

(- check boxes options)

- (French) localisation

Anyway, I use it daily (but print 6 on one is a waste of paper), and I am glad Mr Sagoo has made this app free (and Tofu as well).

Many thanks indeed, hopefully you soon have some time for us again.

FRANSIK  A must have.

If I had a wish open, I would join Fossman's request from March 6th 2005 concerning the 7-zip/ 7z format. Or at least RAR with password protection?

Many thanks to the dev.

Single of the Week Widget

*****

FRANSIK  Very, very cool, even more since I can select the store I want to (France), but as far as I could tell, the German IMTS offers the same feature too...

Size is 0k for me, but I would not mind it smaller though. But should there be a feature I would wish to have, than a cache or a way to set up the update intervals (i.e. once a week).

And instead of "Click image for", "Cliquer sur la pochette pour le" or "Cliquer pour le" would be wonderful.

Many thanks indeed.

FRANSIK  ...many, many thanks! Frankly, I am quite impressed by such a quick reaction.

It is a killer app, definitively, but I will keep using SafariBlock as well, since I do want to block some ads from sites I otherwise (need to) navigate to: Flash animations tend to push Safari to the top as far as processor activity is concerned - my perfect duo :-)

FRANSIK  Would be the killer app if it would disallow any flash-based pop-ups too ;-) so far, I have been using SafariBlock for that matter.

But this is just me, SafariPlus does work just as advertised, it is nice and unobtrusive, easy to use (First thought I would find it within Safari preferences...)

Thanks jrc Software!

XMenu
May 13 2006
*****

FRANSIK  For me as well, this bug described (from "Anonymous") on July 7th 2005 remains: the XMenu icon still appears in the extreme right corner, behind the spotlight icon(!) on start-up if the option "display on left from menu extras" is unset.

And I use custom icons, most of which are not displayed as such (Some are, other appear as generic).

Awesome program otherwise, perfect for OS 9 refugees or those willing to keep the dock as free as possible.

A nice tool I would not want to miss.

FRANSIK  Rocks. If perfection would not be so close, I would miss the ability to batch fill the PDF-Info fields (i.e. title, subject, author, keywords, creator) in a similar way iTunes proceeds for MP3 tags, and, eventually, the ability to downsize the PDF files...

iBackup
Feb 22 2006
*½...

FRANSIK  ...first time I seriously use the software ever, the very first one being a kind of test to see the GUI.

And I thought I should use it.

Actually I wanted to copy everything from one disk to another, something I had been doing with CCC until recently (Before Mac OS 10.4.4): while 0k for the less populated folders, iBackup becomes a real nightmare with some others.

For instance, 1821 items are within my music folder, and I had to check manually every single one I have there.

Then, well I have experienced numerous Apple Script errors, -2753 (Task not defined? French localisation is not 100% here), and even -1700 (Folder using Greek letters; no problem with Japanese characters though).

Anyway I managed through errors and glitches, and could complete the initial setup, normally a one time procedure if you do not change your folder structure.

At least I thought I would start my backup right after the lengthy settings, and sadly I had to see yet another failure notice after a few minutes, according to which the OS would have some components that had stopped responding(!), which is something iBackup 5.0.2 would have detected, and it would now quit...

The app itself was behind this notice, and the GUI was almost indistinctable, almost completely black.

Now this is a backup program, and I do not feel I can rely on it any time now.

LaCie's SilverKeeper (v. 1.1.4 by the way) can not save many profiles, but had my job done.
