FinderPop	Mar 10 2008	KENPRESLEY Thanks, Turly. Version 2.1.2 is definitely more stable. I still noticed a sidebar related Finder crash (opening Favorires from the sidebar), but it is not very reproducible. It seems to happen only the first(?) time I access something in the sidebar. Anyway, looks very good now! (Version 2.1.2)		+1

FinderPop	Feb 29 2008	KENPRESLEY Great utility, I used it a lot under Tiger. However, it is still a quite a bit unstable under 10.5.2. I have a vanilla Intel mac-mini and I noticed various sidebar-related Finder crashes and a Netscape Navigator (9.0.0.6) crash with FinderPop 2.1. I do plan on using this utility again when it stabilizes! (Version 2.1)		0

ShoveBox	Dec 6 2007	KENPRESLEY Sure thing! And I believe you are right, I was only testing the saving and viewing of PDF files. You are welcome and thanks for the rapid response! (Version 1.0.3)		0

ShoveBox	Dec 6 2007	KENPRESLEY This is a nice app but I just noticed a nasty glitch in 1.0.3 on an Intel Mac Mini under 10.5. Resizing any document display window results in strange freeze/crash 100% of the time. (Version 1.0.3)		0

NUTTDAN It looks like the problem is limited to PDF windows. I will have a fix out shortly.

In the future, emailing support at wonderwarp.com is a much faster way for me to find out about any problems. But thanks for the feedback!

ScreenRecycler	Jul 20 2007	KENPRESLEY Can ScreenRecycler be used to add a THIRD screen to your Mac if the Mac already has two monitors? Thanks! (Version 1.0.2B1050)		0

MLB Schedule	May 16 2007	KENPRESLEY BTW, folks, the actual author (Logan Rockmore) also responded and thanked us for the work-around info. Also, I just received a courteous reply from Mesa Dynamics support and they thanked us also and said they should be easily able to release an update to Amnesty Singles to permanently address this issue. Many thanks to all who were so courteous with their support. Now, off to bed!! (Version 1.3)		0

MLB Schedule	May 16 2007	KENPRESLEY Hi Logan. Glad we could help! Sorry about my "developer confusion". Great baseball widgets. BTW, I have reported this and am having a discussion with Amnesty Singles support. (Version 1.3)		0

MLB Schedule	May 16 2007	KENPRESLEY To the author: Sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman! Your terminal command line magic did indeed work (on both MLB Schedule and MLB Standings). For interested others note that I did have to slightly modify the command line to include quote characters around the widgets name (i.e. "MLB Schedule") for the command to work. (I am probably using a different shell or something from the author). After your terminal AppleClasses embedding magic I just built it again with Amnesty Singles and all is great. Baseball fans rejoice! (See the author's replies to my original questions). Thank you so much for your courteous and quick support information!! (Version 1.3)		0

MLB Schedule	May 16 2007	KENPRESLEY Nice widgets. But does anyone (developer?) know why they don't work with Amnesty Singles as standalone apps. (The info button is invisible so there is no way to change the team selection, etc.). Thanks in advance. Ken P. (Version 1.3)		0

ANDREAS AMANN This is a problem with Amnesty Singles - none of the widgets that are deployed with a requirement of 10.4.3 or higher and use the AppleClasses work with Amnesty Singles (as they don't resolve the path to the system includes properly - one of them being the infobutton script).

I told them about that a while ago but they don't seem to be inclined to fix it (they just put 10.4.3+ widgets they know about on the list of "known problems") - I suggest that more people let them know about the problem (which will get worse once DashCode is officially released) and ask them to fix it.

ANDREAS AMANN Here is how you can make it work with Amnesty Singles (assuming that you are actually running 10.4.3 or higher):

* download a fresh copy of the widget to your Desktop - you should now have "MLB Schedule" on your Desktop with a generic widget icon

* open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)

* type

ln -s /System/Library/WidgetResources/AppleClasses ~/Desktop/MLB Schedule.wdgt/AppleClasses

(all in one line)

* the widget should now work with Amnesty Singles (it did for me in a quick test)

ANDREAS AMANN Yes - my bad about the missing quotes... Alternatively you could precede all spaces by a "\" character (I created the link from the widget's directory itself so I didn't actually have to add the path to it when I tested).

Oh, and I am not actually the author of the MLB widgets - it just happens that my widget suffers from the same problem when used with Amnesty singles.

BURGUNDYLOGAN Hey guys. I just wanted to chime in and say that I was glad that you found a solution to getting the widgets to work with Amnesty. If anyone asks me about this, I'm now armed with the knowledge to fix it. Thanks!
