LOUNGE DELUXE  But WHY is it so good according to you?   
(Version 3.0.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Mighty has turned into Magic now!  
(Version 0.325)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I too find the $20 for this app too expensive, especially considering what simple task this app does. There are a number of similar apps out there that are either far less expensive or even free, but of course it's completely up to the dev what he wants to charge for his product. I think $5 would be reasonable, but YMMV.  
(Version 4.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I wonder what those 2009 aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard's special features might be compared to the 2008 model.  
(Version 2.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I agree, SteerMouse is a wonderful addition to (in my case) the Mighty Mouse, and above all customer support is excellent.

I'm convinced SteerMouse will be updated soon for the Magic Mouse (if necessary at all?). Now how sweet would it be if the dev is able to program new finger gestures replacing the side buttons and the button under the scroll wheel of the Mighty Mouse!  
(Version 4.0.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  After restarting Safari in 64-bit mode instead of 32-bit SC updates fine within Safari, so problem solved. Would be a good thing if the dev makes a note of this on his website and the info section on MU.   
(Version 1.3.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Version 1.2 (I send you an email about it on October 18), but it happened again when going from 1.3 to 1.3.1.  
(Version 1.3.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Again when updating from within Safari I get this error message: "Update Error! An error occurred while extracting the archive. Please try again later.".

I think SafariCookies is a terrific 'plugin' and I can't imagine my computer life without it, and I don't mind downloading the update and installing it manually, but what's the point of an integrated update function when it doesn't work? SC is freeware so I'm not blaming the dev in any way, I'm just expressing my wish for a fix of this error.  
(Version 1.3.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I'm just being curious here, but why would you want to reorganize the list of files before applying a rename command?

I fully agree with you, ABFR is a wonderful and very feature rich app and product support is excellent. For future releases I'd like to see more possibilities for editing tags of music files.  
(Version 8.36)

LOUNGE DELUXE  MU is not just about product reviews, it's also about product related discussions in general. The comment TESLANAUT made is in line with that.   
(Version 1.1.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  The upgrade price of $40 is quite steep for this new version 3. I'm running XP Home in a version 2 virtual machine but none of these new functions appeal to me, so I'll pass this upgrade.  
(Version 3.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I also got an error when updating from within Safari ("an error occurred when extracting the archive"). I send the dev an email about it with a screenshot of the error message, and hopefully he'll have the time to fix this issue. But at the moment it's simply not working.  
(Version 1.2.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I agree, goSecure is nice but very very basic and not quite feature rich. Some development over time would be nice, the last update was 16 months ago! I emailed a couple of feature suggestions to the developer but he didn't do anything with them.

I'm afraid this app had been abandoned by the dev.  
(Version 1.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  The website of the dev says that this version (1.2) was introduced on March 5, 2005. So you are right, there's something odd about this re-release.   
(Version 1.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Obviously Spotlight is not a core OS feature that is required in general because I had it already disabled in OS X 10.5 and it never resulted in an error or inability to perform a specific OS task. OS X allows you to disable it, and like I wrote before there is no need at all to use Spotlight because of the SSD with its blazing fast read capabilities and extremely low seek times (0.1ms versus at least 12ms for a regular hdd). EasyFind serves all my purposes.

My question was if Tags 2.0 would run without Spotlight or not.  
(Version 2.0b)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Steep upgrade price of $19.95. Pity, especially considering the fairly high full version purchase price for an app that just composes business cards. It is my guess that BeLight reckons potential buyers of BCC will be professionals with plenty of cash. Seems like I'll have to continue using version 4 (that pretty much serves my purpose).  
(Version 5.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I came across this Roxio support forums post where the changes of version 10.03 are described

http://forums.support.roxio.com/index.php?showtopic=57122  
(Version 10.0.3)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I have a SSD in my MacBook Pro and I have disabled Spotlight because the SSD is blazing fast at finding and accessing files, so there is no need for Spotlight and its indexing service. But I'm curious is Tags 2 will run on my system as it is supposed to, now that this new version sort of depends heavily on Spotlight?   
(Version 2.0b)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I don't understand a word of what you're saying.  
(Version 1.7)

LOUNGE DELUXE  LS already phones home when you enter your registration number, so I don't see how an update function would be contrary to the function of LS. I mean you'd still get warned by LS that it tries to contact its servers to check for an updated version. And I've never come across an app with an update function build in that didn't have the option to be switched on or off.  
(Version 2.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I made a sparseimage bundle with 256-bits AES encryption using Disk Utility, and keep text files of all my license info and other important stuff. It's for free and gives maximum security.   
(Version 1.2.3)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I reckon it's about time now to build some sort of automatic or manual update functionality within LS. C'mon Obdev, even all of the freeware apps I currently use are able to do this.   
(Version 2.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Something seems wrong with sparkle too. The latest version on your website is not version 1.02 as it says but actually 1.01. After installation, sparkle reports that there's an update to 1.02 available but when that installation is finished it's still version 1.01 and import favorites is still missing. I even removed all Safari Cookies files by hand (including to hidden files) logged out and and then performed a new installation but it simply won't work.  
(Version 1.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Same here, import/export functionality is removed with version 1.0 I reverted back to version 0.8 and continue to happily use that version.   
(Version 1.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  This app hasn't been updated for more than a year, so I reckon it's save to assume that development of Scribbles has been abandoned. The developer currently offers this app as part of a promo bundle (TheMacBundles) so who knows what his intentions are. I'm glad I only paid 10 bucks and not 20 for this dead end.  
(Version 1.2.3)

LOUNGE DELUXE  You must be the developer or otherwise involved with Lava Software. MacUpdate should remove your little comment (SPAM) for this.  
(Version 7.1.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  For real? Because on my Snow Leopard system SteerMouse won't jump half the time to the default button anymore. Quite frustrating because it would jump to the default button flawlessly on Leopard.  
(Version 3.9)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Nice, now there's no need to install the HP software from the CD provided with the printer, because these HP Printer Drivers 2.0 also contain the utility to adjust the printer settings (well at least this is the case for my color laserjet 3525dn). The install through the cd always took for ever and was huge in size.  
(Version 2.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  The SL version of Coolbook is not mentioned on the website of the developer. However you can find the download link in the CoolBook.dmg file. I don't know what TRONDAH means by "tested in 64-bit", but SL doesn't report the SL version of Coolbook as 64-bit.   
(Version 2.15)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Sure I like 1Password too, but it's not the next Messiah or anything. As with every app there's room for improvement or even repair, so please be realistic. I still encounter a lot of websites that 1Password can't handle, so it's by far perfect.   
(Version 2.9.29)

LOUNGE DELUXE  > I believed the hype and paid the money

And you couldn't use the full 30-day trial period first before shelling out your cash?  
(Version 5.1.5)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Almost three weeks later the price has doubled to $9.99. Wrong move imo for such a small yet great app, I was ready to buy but will pass.  
(Version 3.0.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I was able to install the .dmg too, but it only left a firmware update app in my Utilities folder. The app won't start and just says "no firmware update needed".

So I reckon if this update doesn't show up in Software Update, your system indeed doesn't need it.  
(Version 2.0.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  This is not an uncommon business model for software, Apple does the same and so does Microsoft. There is no other software that provides undervolting and throttling adjustments for Macs as far as I know, so shelling out 10 bucks for every new machine isn't all that bad considering the lack of competition.  
(Version 2.15)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Hmm, according to the ProtoMac support forum version 1.2 of NetMine was released on November 13, 2008 so I wonder why July 15, 2009 is mentioned on MU. That's nine months without any product update.  
(Version 1.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Why would the developer of TuneX rename his app to TuneBar when there's already an app called TunesBar with similar functionality?

Where has the originality gone these days?  
(Version 3.6)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Made a donation some 18 months ago but never received the nag-free app (and I'm not the only one). I send numerous emails but the dev never responded. I send him an email again 10 days ago using a different email address, but still no response. I have reported the developer to PayPal for fraud and I asked for a refund.

BE ADVISED: DO NOT MAKE A DONATION TO THIS DEVELOPER.   
(Version 2.6)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Apart from the fact that it's ridiculous this app is still only PPC 3.5 years after the release of the first Intel based Mac, will we have to pay for this Intel version once it's released or will it be a free update/upgrade to existing users?  
(Version 5.1.8)

LOUNGE DELUXE  This little free gem shows several iTunes fields like artist and title of the current song playing (and those of the next song in line) in the menu bar. There's lots of options to set like font, color, scroll or static, scroll speed, width of statusbar etc. and they all speak for itself. It would be great if in a future version we will be able to choose from every field that iTunes offers (like track time, genre etc.) but that's just a request, as the current options are great as they are.

CPU usage is around 4,8 (scroll feature on) or 3,3 (scroll feature off) on my MBP 2,93Ghz, and it would be nice if the developer will be able to lower these numbers on further development of BravoTunes. I can't really say much about stability other then that during the short period that I've used BravoTunes so far it has proven stable.

Very nice app and highly recommended!   
(Version 1.1.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Judging from your comment I'd say you never even used ABFR once, otherwise you would have known that ABFR is an extremely feature rich app that does so much more than a simple file rename. Good luck creating Automator Workflows of all ABFR features, mate.  
(Version 8.24)

LOUNGE DELUXE  This looks like a very useful app, but unfortunately for me Spotlight is required. I'm using a SSD and have Spotlight disabled, so I can't use HoudahSpot. I'm currently using EasyFind but I'd prefer HoudahSpot for the looks and powerful features of it.  
(Version 2.5.6)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I bought Tinkertools System 1.0 more then 4 years ago, so it's not like we have to upgrade every year. In the mean time the developer kept updating this app over and over again and even made it Leopard compatible, all done without an additional license fee. Technical support is truly excellent, on more than one occasion I bugged him with (not always very clever) questions and every time he responded to them within a few hours (even during the weekend).

I therefor have no trouble at all to pay the full price again, after all the developer has to make a living just as the rest of us and I consider the price fair.   
(Version 2.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I bought these Toolbar Extras almost 2 years ago for $5. Now they're charging 4 times as much for the very same Toolbar Extras! That seems like an odd price strategy to me, particularly in these times of economical recession, but then what do I know. Luckily for me the 'old' Toolbar extras still seem to work fine.  
(Version 4.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Or you can create a sparse bundle disk image with either 128 or 256-bits encryption on your USB drive using Disk Utility, for free!   
(Version 1.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  The price is actually $199.00, not $149.00!  
(Version 1.9.6.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Thanks a lot for this excellent suggestion!  
(Version 1.10)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Very useful, and very anticipated by me after the development of Cocoa Cookies seems to be abandoned. I'm using Safari 3 with nightly webkit builds and Safari Cookies is totally stable so far. It adds a new tab in the preference window from where you can configure Safari cookies. All in all a highly recommended app!

BTW I would really appreciate an option to accept or deny a cookie when it's being send to Safari (much like IExplorer offers).   
(Version 0.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I emailed the developer because I had an small issue with iTunesFS, and even though I am the only one experiencing this issue the developer send me an updated version that totally addressed this issue. How about that for support on a free app!

iTunes FS mounts your iTunes library and any attached iPod as a volume in Finder, and that's all there is to say because it works flawlessly. Don't expect a fancy GUI, because you simply don't need it! This app is a computer lifesaver to me, and I would suggest to the developer to make iTunesFS donation-ware and implement this the same friendly way as Carbon Copy Cloner does for instance. iTunesFS is the choice over a lot of commercial apps for backing up iPod and iTunes content. Recommended!  
(Version 1.1.10)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I actually hadn't seen that note because I arrived at Macupdate through a button on agilewebsolutions.com (the dev of 1Password) and I went straight to entering a comment and didn't bother reading the description of this app. But I should have though, as my concern could've been taken away after reading the first sentence of that desription! I'll buy now, thanks.  
(Version 2.9.13)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I tried the trial version and this app indeed works as smooth as all but a few reviewers have stated. The only thing that keeps me from purchasing it is the fact that the current build is very close to the release of a version 3 (or so it seems), and I would not like to pay an upgrade fee so soon after my purchase.  
(Version 2.9.13)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I find the UI very intuitive, and I've never needed the manual at all. If you have trouble apprehending all possibilities of ABFR then I suggest you simply drag a file to the left column and start to play around with the different menus and fields. The right column will show the change to the file immediately, so it should become clear what all the menus and fields can do for you and your files.  
(Version 8.1.4)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I think he means LCC (Leopard Cache Cleaner).  
(Version 4.3.3)

LOUNGE DELUXE  What does your suggestion have to do with TimeCache?

Spare us your spam, mate.  
(Version 8.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Your info is a little outdated as the price of a license for On The Job is $ 39.95, so that's double the price of Chronograph!   
(Version 1.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I've been using BookDog for a few years now, and It proved helpful from day one. The developer provides for regular updates and he's very responsive when it comes to email support. Recommended!

But I'd appreciate an GUI upgrade though, it looks horrible to me.  
(Version 5.1.44)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Industry-leading sounds ridiculous indeed. Amd MacHider is not mentioned on the website of this developer at all, only in the website's store. Odd.  
(Version 1.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I emailed the developer and asked if he could make this script also work for Webkit. Within 2 hours I received a new script that did just that! How 'bout a responsive developer!

For all of you wondering what the point of this script is, stop wondering. This is a script that can make your computer life a little easier, period. I often forgot to turn private browsing on, now it's done automatically for me. That makes enough sense to me. If not for you, then move on and forget about it.

You can download Webkit PB and a lot of other useful free scripts at the website of the developer: http://tomx.890m.com/  
(Version 1.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Works flawlessly for me. I asked several developers of pref settings utilities to add a similar function to their app, but all refused. Thanks a lot for this script!

Would it also be possible to publish one for WebKit instead of Safari?  
(Version 1.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  This update actually installed about 1GB of drivers and stuff, although I only have a HP 3390. It didn't show up in Software Update. After installing this update my printer cannot be configured through the web interface anymore, as it gives an error message every time. Well it serves me right for 'updating' something that operated just fine and therefor didn't need any update. Be warned however to backup your system drive before applying this update, so you can always revert back.  
(Version 1.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Are all these pinball games you mention, compatible to OS X 10.5? The LittleWing website does not mention this at all unfortunately.  
(Version 1.1.7)

LOUNGE DELUXE  What I like so much about BetterZip, at least compared to its competitors, is the fact that BetterZip allows for its users to create .rar archives. True, you'll need a separate license from Rarlabs to create .rar archives, but once you've got this license you can do it all from within BetterZip, including useful options like split archives etc.

And BetterZip has always worked flawlessly for me, even with archives that were password protected. I only would like the GUI to be pimped up a little so it would integrate better with the rest of the GUI of Leopard.  
(Version 1.7)

LOUNGE DELUXE  An app that saves playlists was exactly what I was looking for, and indeed iTunes Song List does save playlists and you can even choose from several file formats.

But after a playlist has been saved, iTunes Song List makes iTunes quit and that is very annoying. I'm using the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2).   
(Version 1.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I bought NetBarrier X5 through MU Promo, but the registration key I received seems to be for a different version (the format is different from the format version 5 accepts).

I emailed Intego about this but after receiving a response that made no sense at all (and it took them days to do so), they simply don't answer any other emails I send them. And emails to support at MU Promo don't get delivered for some odd reason, this department is totally unreachable.

Who's to blame? No more MU Promo deals for me, that's for sure, and no more Intego software either.  
(Version 10.5.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  After this update when opening any of the Office 2008 applications, the Leopard firewall keeps on asking if I want to accept incoming connections or not. Regardless of my answer, the settings are not remembered by the firewall. Pretty annoying.  
(Version 12.0.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Wonderful software that worked and still works flawlessly. I use it a lot for .flac conversion, and whilst converting it provides an informative status window. It operates very fast (C2D Mini), uses minimal resources and its output has always been accepted by iTunes. And on top of that its freeware!

Thanks a lot developer(s).  
(Version 20080305)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I noticed it too, but after installation Buddi did show up in Activity monitor as "Intel".  
(Version 3.0.0.7)

LOUNGE DELUXE  If I would imagine a light version of Photoshop, as you requested, I would have to come up with Photoshop elements!  
(Version 1.1.3)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I tried it on a .pdf I made through printing a simple Word 2004 doc as .pdf. I used the contextual menu option to let DeskUNPDF open it in MS Word, but DeskUNPDF said it wasn't a valid .pdf format (?).

Told DeskUNPDF to open it in DeskUNPDF itself and the infamous beachball showed up and only a hard reset could liberate my system from DeskUNPDF.

I'd stay away from this software.  
(Version 2.0)

LOUNGE DELUXE  On the TechSono website it is nowhere mentioned that superNZB has to be purchased, let alone its price. I'll stick to the freeware and amazing SABnzbdplus.  
(Version 3.2.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I made a donation to the author but he never did send me a nag-free version of Cue-Splitter (as promised when you press the donate button), nor did he answer any email I send him.

So if you're after the nag-free version you'd better think twice.  
(Version 2.6)

LOUNGE DELUXE  The price seems to have been raised quite steep. iArchiver has lost its greatest appeal therefor.  
(Version 1.2.4)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Sure, and who needs Ms Word when we have TextEditor, right? Come on, dude.   
(Version 4.0.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Why call Intego greedy bastards? If you don't like the idea of a subscription service then don't use Net Barrier.

I myself keep on using the free Apple firewall.   
(Version 10.4.4)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Very nice app indeed. Its interface to me is much nicer than BetterZip, but I will keep on using BetterZip because of its ability to create rar archives (though you need to purchase a separate license to rar). If the developer could implement this feature then at least I would abandon BetterZip in favor of iArchiver. And the price of iArchiver is simply right!  
(Version 1.1.4)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I send an email to the address that was mentioned on the paypal receipt on November 22, 2007 at 1.33 pm (your name at yahoo.com).

I'm not sure if I expained it well. I have only one account on my Mac, so I'm always admin. I always install apps for every user, if asked for by an installer. When I tried to trash something through your toolbar extras (an Apple lossless music file), the app stated that I did not have enough rights and that I needed to be an admin. I selected the space where I can type a password and hit enter key, but that didn't do the trick. All apps besides Toolbar Extras that require me to enter my admin password accept the fact that I do not use a password, and hitting the enter key is in those cases enough.  
(Version 2.0.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  This app is very well thought through. Just drag a folder to its main window and adjust the preferred settings for viewing and printing the contents of the specific folder (Including any subfolders). You can choose from several types of output, i.e. Ms Word, .pdf, .txt etc.

Highly recommended!  
(Version 4.0.2)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Great tools, and I decided to buy them them right away. However some tools like trash require you to have admin rights in order to execute them. I only have one account on my Mac, an admin account but I use it without a password. These tools that require admin rights don't work as I have no password to fill in.

I send the developer an email about this but unfortunately never received an answer.  
(Version 2.0.1)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Works fine with Leopard when loaded with PlugSuit. Thanks developer!  
(Version 3.0L149)

LOUNGE DELUXE  Excellent little app, very useful. The author has made the latest version suitable for OS X 10.4 (and hopefully it will keep on working with 10.5) and as a result thereof this app is now donationware. Recommended!  
(Version 2.6)
