LIKOS  For some reason this was the easiest 3D package for me to learn and be productive in. It is spline based modeling. The hierarchical object setup came very natural to me.

I'd have to say the biggest negative to this software is the general lack of information on it.

There are a few resources though.

3D World mag issue 123 has Version 8.5 Pro free.

(Version 9.2)

LIKOS  Has anyone gotten this to work in 10.6?  
(Version 2.6)

LIKOS  That's because your computer is possessed.   
(Version 1.8)

LIKOS  Why this over iChat? (I'm being serious.)  
(Version 2.1.243)

LIKOS  This app looks great. I love the archive individually option!

Please add the option to set preferences for Disk Image Archive option. (Compression type, etc.)  
(Version 2.4a4)

LIKOS  I second this comment:

"It would be nice to be able to just strip out the PPC code in the latest version until more third-party software has been updated to work in 64-bit."

LIKOS  Hi.

I like Barebone's apps. Text Wrangler is awesome as is BBEDIT for serious work. I would like to comment to Barebones about releasing a previous paid for app as free.

It is a nice gesture that the app is now free. email is something that for most of us here is indispensable. To offer up this previous paid app for free is nice but allot of us would like to know what the future is for the app. Are you planning to make a paid version? Are you planning to keep the free version? Are you going to open source the code?

Basically even a free mail client requires a commitment to maintain before most of us will be willing to switch. Because lets face it at some point we are going to have huge archives and if there is no support for issues the whole thing will be useless.

I don't want to rain on your parade. Quite the opposite actually. This happens to be what I first thought of when I saw this here. Wow that's great but what happens in 6 months if I do switch to Mailsmith? Mail.app will still be supported, even if there are glaring bugs. Will Mailsmith?

email apps are different from most anything else. BBedit is a great tool but if tomorrow it stopped getting support (God forbid) all the work will be readable in something else. Unlike mail clients where its more difficult to move your archives over should it stop getting support.

LIKOS  Links are dead.  
(Version 2.1.2)

LIKOS  This project has been open sourced.

LIKOS  I'm running leopard server on a 2x1 Ghz G4 (Quicksilver)  
(Version 1.4)

LIKOS  This would be pretty awesome as a service and if it had the ability to accept user created custom folders & labels.   
(Version 4.0)

LIKOS  Hi,

Any chance of getting the FSmod team ( http://www.fsmod.com/ ) to give you the unpacked files for the upcoming 1.2?

For the last version I used Parallels and pointed the exe installer to the hidden directory. A less than elegant solution. Also you have to have a Win license to do this so it alienates allot of potential mod users.

Thanks for making a GUI.

  
(Version 0.3)

LIKOS  Will this work with a bootcamp partition?

(I know a bootcamp partition can be converted to work but I wan't to keep the bootcamp partition and sometimes use it without rebooting.)

If it parallels can use a bootcamp partition what are your experiences using this method?  
(Version 3.0.5582)

LIKOS  Well in my attempt to find a link proving my point I disproved much of it. It turns out blue/green is best for preserving night vision. (like the light used in night vision goggles.) Also what you intend to do at night will dictate the color you want. (I guess this is where user defined presets come in :)

(Version 1.2b1)

LIKOS  yes any light can be seen at night.

I'm sorry if my previous post led someone to believe that. As a matter of fact soldiers on special opps missions cover anything reflective and do not wear (or cover) watches that have illuminated dials. Any light at close distances can reveal your location.

That said red light travels the shortest distance. So if a device is set to maximum dim, red, and only on for a short time it MINIMIZES the risk of exposure. It does NOT eliminate the risk. On a battlefield it would still be a huge risk.

Also red light does not affect night vision so you will be able to see normally without the need to readjust to darkness. Pilots in WWII wore red goggles at night if they were up and about in order to preserve their night vision. If they were called in to defend the airstrip or into a sortie they were able to hop into a cockpit and fly out.

In my case it will prevent me from stubbing my toe on the bedpost. Not quite so glamorous but at least I don't wake the wife or kids to cursing:)

I hope that sorts its out. I don't want a soldier cranking up a laptop and thinking no one can see him because its set to red.   
(Version 1.2b1)

LIKOS  Thanks for a useful tool. If time permits can you please consider adding port knocking to the list of features?  
(Version 1.8)

LIKOS  This is awesome! I changed the white color to red, to preserve night vision while surfing. i also decreased the brightness (got 30 min more runtime from the battery!)

i have been wanting something like this for some time. i'm glad i took the time to search last night.

thanks for a great app! (btw disabling shadows does not seem to work. but everything else worked great.)  
(Version 1.0.4)

LIKOS  funny, how about a BSOD for our recent windows converts!  
(Version 1.0)

LIKOS  I've been using this since the first beta. Great Application. Not only that but you have continued development.

Thank you.  
(Version 2.0a7)

LIKOS  That is awesome. I am usually hesitant in making requests from freeware writers. I don't feel I have a right to ask for upgrades. (unless the developer specifically asks for ideas.)

I appreciate the work. I was about to start messing around with color profiles to see if I could get an acceptable red picture that way. Even if I did get a picture I like that way its a bit of a chore to switch back and forth.

Thanks.  
(Version 1.1.5r1)

LIKOS  I really would like an application that would change everything onscreen to a shade of red. That way I could use my laptop at night without compromising my night vision. Soldiers might also like a blue option since blue light doesn't travel as far at night.  
(Version 1.1.5r1)

LIKOS  Well I don't have a Mac Book yet but this software makes the purchase all the more tempting. Hey if I drop it can you sense the sudden intense shock and have it make the sound of the Death Star exploding? (You think they would get mad if I tested this out at the Apple store? After all I think it deserves a proper review.)  
(Version 1.0b)

LIKOS  This would be great if:

1. the save command would append the date and time to the filename or a sequence number. (filename20060219 2:05.jpg)And only work if there have been changes made to the file. (Command-s only saves if there have been changes by default but I don't know if this will be the default if the filename is appended)

2. It was configurable as a pref pane.
