INFORMATIX  download link broken.  
(Version 1.2)

INFORMATIX  Added info to my last post: The cause of the problem was an imcompatibility with another SIMBL plug-in, SafariTabs. Figured that out just before writing to the developer.

Now ForgetMeNot works.

Translation of "unclose" is a little awkward in German. But then, so is probably "unclose" in English.

ForgetMeNot can reload tabs that were open when Safari was last closed. Unfortunately that does not work for a crash. Or so I think after testing with a "force quit":

I opened two tabs. Quit Safari. Restarted Safari. Two tabs were open. I opened a third tab. Force-quit Safari. Restarted Safari. Again, only two tabs were opened.  
(Version 4.0)

INFORMATIX  Very promising functionality: We all know the pain that this little plug-in is supposed to fix.

However ...

- the current version 4 requires Safari 3, which at this point is still beta.

- Version 3 for Safari 2 is not available on the developers website.

- I finally found version 3 for Safari 2 over at VersionTracker.

- Installer failed: "no software to install". I extracted the software from the bundle manually.

- Safari opened and quit immediately.

Too bad. I would have loved to use this software. I will try to contact the author.  
(Version 4.0)

INFORMATIX  Well done. I trust that putting such good software under GPL will encourage more developers to join in and help with the effort.

Nice interface. Fills much of the feature gap that TextEdit leaves open even for a light-weight word processor.

I noticed that text is not rendered as good as in TextEdit and Safari: Spacing is often uneven. I hope that developers read these comments and will look into this.  
(Version 0.9.4a)

INFORMATIX  Not just disable Java but also JavaScript!

With both methods a site is able to read the ip-address of the client receiving the page.

Of course, even with both enabled, I believe you still enjoy a fair deal of anonymity, since it must be the site owner who tries to search you out, not a 3rd party such as your local government etc.  
(Version 0.1.1.19rc)

INFORMATIX  Excellent, marvelous.

Takes a little time to sort out the interface. But that is not to say that the interface needs to be improved. It's only the mass of available features that overwhelms at first.

Usually I stay away from "swiss-army-knife" software that tries to do everything rather than just one thing. But Butler does a lot of things and does them all right. Despite the many features Butler is not bloated.

Thanks, Peter Maurer.

One issue: Files with umlauts are not recognized properly. So typing "Hägar" will give me only "www.hägar.com", not the various files with "Hägar" in their name.  
(Version 4.1.1)

INFORMATIX  To the developer: Please sort this under "demo", not "free".

Nobody minds if you charge for your work, but please be straight about it right on the cover page, i. e. the MacUpdate home page, not just in the info text.

INFORMATIX  "expert reviewers" (as ANAME called them) in this case from German c't magazin have done test-deinstallations with Yank and found that they were often not 100% complete

- due to permission problems,

- sometimes yank did not record all changes on your disk during the installation,

- and because of how it works yank cannot record changes that occur after installation, e. g. at first run, or installs background processes at a later time (which applies to Desinstaller, too).

- sadly yank seemingly does not consider /Library/Receipts for further information (like Desinstaller does).  
(Version 1.2)

INFORMATIX  I was looking for an easy to use recording app to work with my iMic. I had a few basic requirements:

- Support of full 24-bit resolution (This helps to reduce quality losses during the edit/effect processing and before normalizing and reducing to 16-bit CD quality. Unfortunately apps that use the old Sound Manager API in OS X only work up to 16-bit at recording.)

- Automatic time out. (So you can start stereo and leave after setting the recording to stop after x minutes.)

- Direct to disk. (Griffin's Final Vinyl annoys by taking forever to draw curves and writing to disk after the recording is already done.)

Audio In meets these criteria, and you can't beat the price. Thanks to the developer.

Nevertheless I hope he still reads this although Audio In seems like it has not seen an update in several years.

Some suggestions for UI improvement: I would like to see and control all basic features from the main window. That doesn't mean "window clutter", because Audio In focuses on doing just one thing, and do that right.

- One button to set the time-out for the recording. I find it helpful if this time-out value is displayed at all times in the main window together with standard controls as used in the date/time pref pane. (The menu command is not as easily available. Plus it annoys by immediately starting the recording after setting a value. But is has the benefit of a keyboard shortcut which could be kept and would then select the value ready for editing.)

- One button to set the output file. Again, I wish this information would also always be displayed at all times in the main window. (Here, too, the recording currently starts right after setting the output file unless you put the name in the preferences.)

- Replacing the turn knobs with sliders. The first are good in real live. But with the mouse sliders are better. (Oscilloscope setting and playthrough volume.)

- Add the option of displaying a level meter with peak hold rather than an oscilloscope.

- Display output file type and quality as well as input quality in the main window. (Amadeus does that and it's a nice help to make sure you get the quality you desire, not more nor less. Amadeus, e. g. can only record from the iMic at 16 bit and informs the user about that.)

Now that was lengthy. But again: Thanks to the developer for creating Audio In and thank you for making it free.

INFORMATIX  Does Shiira share bookmarks with Safari so users can easily switch between the two browsers?
