NORIKER  Thanks RICHARDBRONOSKY, I never knew that. I must have played nearly a hundred DVDs and never had that problem. But you can always set it back if you want to, so that shouldn't be a problem.

NORIKER  Very pratical as it does two things: 1. It gives you the option to open a window with sorted applications and documents right under your cursor, giving you a similar direct approach as Quicksilver's constellation menus. And 2. It allows you to open an pulldown from the menu bar with the same sorting. You basically don't need the Dock anymore.

Problems: Not enough customizability and very buggy behaviour when you change the color and the space between the items. Graphics and text will be partially hidden. The developer doesn't seem to care, and doesn't reply. Far below what I'm used from other Mac developers. Could be a great application if they changed their attitude and listened to the customers.

NORIKER  Have you searched for a region free code for your existing dvd players? Often you just have to enter a sort of cheat and you can set your region to 0 and play anything.

NORIKER  I don't understand what this application does. As far as I understood, it can't even do OCR, so it doesn't actually offer a digital form of your receipts, just stores jpgs. Why not just scan your jpgs and put them in a folder?

NORIKER  Not a review: I found this app at MacZot today in a bundle 40% off and checked here to see what people reported. There seem to be a bunch of fake reviews on the bundle plus on another software review of one of the bundle apps it was said that they hide their identity and can't be contacted. Has anyone tried to get support from them? They also seem to spam MU with tiny updates just to be on top.

MPEG2 Works 4 Advanced
May 29 2009

NORIKER  I'm having huge problems getting this app to do anything but hang up. Can you tell me what you changed about your QT setup? I can view MPEG2 videos without any problem. No matter if I want to export from MPEG1 or MPEG2 to QT or from anything to MPEG2 it always crashes. My computer is fast enough.

NORIKER  Regarding my recent review, the developer has announced that both said problems (searching in German and searching for plural) will be fixed.

Jisho

****.

NORIKER  Jisho comes in very handy if you're a user of Quicksilver because it adds a Services entry, that you can call from QS (Period; enter Search Term, Tab, Jisho).

I also find it interesting that it (theoretically) understands various languages. Unfortunately it doesn't actually work unless you use the "broad" or "extra broad" settings, and everytime you close the app, it forgets the settings. But for English it's ok.

What I don't like at all, is that it doesn't allow searching for any plural forms, only for singular, as there is no plural form in Japanese (which doesn't mean you can't just translate it to the singular). This again makes it impossible to quickly search with Jisho if you select a plural in Text Edit or Safari and want to use Serives or Quicksilver to find the Japanese translation. I already mailed the creator about it but he doesn't want to change it.

Dock Gone
May 10 2009

NORIKER  No you're not crazy but you probably won't need this app. Whenever you get close to the bottom of the screen (or wherever you have placed your Dock) it will pop back up. This can become extemely annoying when drawing or when using auto scrolling in an application. Worst case would be a slow computer that is stopped processing by the Dock because it suddenly has to reveal it and blend in the name of the app that is below the cursor.

It might also pop up when you open a drop down window, such as your list of bookmaks in a browser, as soon as you get close enough to the edge. In this case it will pop up BEHIND the window, completely useless. And who needs the Dock to show up below the cursor while drawing a selection in Photoshop? Most people never use their entire screen and leave some space for the Dock. Given how huge the standard Leopard Dock is, that's a lot of space. This tool allows you to use the entire screen and hardly ever use the Dock. I use Quicksilver to launch apps, so I don't have much need for it.

Dock Gone
May 6 2009
*****

NORIKER  This is exactly what I always needed (and as Apple should have built the Dock). This comes in very handy when drawing or using the entire screen in graphic design applications, where you don't want panels to be trapped behind the Dock. No more sizing the Dock down. No more Pull Down Menus behind the Dock. No more "I hope I don't get too close to the edge of the screen". Here's why it's great:

1. I can still call/hide the Dock just as used to, nothing new to learn. Only this time it stays away, as it should.

2. I can replace the standard shortcut or add an additional one, so the old mode (auto activating Dock) is still available at the same time.

3. Some older applications (DockBlock etc.) were built for Tiger and don't work anymore. This works under Leopard.

4. Other methods of getting rid of the Dock also kill functions like the Application Switcher. No such problems with Dock Gone.

5. By triple clicking the item in the menu bar, the Dock shows/hides. By single clicking the item, you get a menu.

CROUPIER49  Maybe I'm crazy, but how is this any different than simply typing Command + Option +D? Whenever I type this, the dock completely disappears and doesn't return until I type the command again.
