If you had an Intel Mac and Darwine, you could run some Windows applications under OS X, without running a licensed (or pirated) copy of Windows. This app just isn't for you. |
|
Updated Perian from 1.0 to 1.1 Updated QuickTime from 7.4 to 7.4.1 Now, every app that tries to use QuickTime to load an FLV or DivX/xvid AVI crashes. (Those are the only two formats that used Perian that I've tried so far.) |
|
The keyboard controls are bizarre and counterintuitive. Once you figure them out, you'll find the app doesn't actually work. Perhaps it did once, but not anymore. OS X 10.4.10 |
|
Besides being funny, I recognize the icon just fine. Topping Azerus, with a BSD daemon. Sort of obvious really. Yours looks like a Terminal.app aid. At a stretch, maybe an icon for Macports or fink. Or a script for wget or curl. |
|
report it to the developers, I'm sure they'll be interested |
|
It's just embedded WebKit, like any number of Mac apps that use it... |
|
In the meantime, some scripts that have been tested to work in Creammonkey are here: http://userscripts.org/tag/creammonkey |
|
My problem has apparently since been fixed in new versions. |
|
"As advertised"? Ohhhh that's not fair. He's clear about some stuff not working due to Safari's javascript implementation. But Safari is improving, and so is Creammonkey. Check that the author of a script advertises Creammonkey compatibility, e.g. Greased Lightbox. |
|
Incidentally, if it's any help to anyone: I "replaced" Web Developer Extension with shareware apps like CSSEdit, replaced FireGPG with the existing OS X Services of Gpg Tools combined with ICeCoffEE, which gets me to GPG commands in the Services menu with a right-click, and (partially) replaced the SU toolbar with some bookmarklets I put together at su.is.dreaming.org |
|
I'm a long time user of Stumbleupon, too. As much I like it and the Web Developer Extension, FireGPG, and others. I've had to switch to Safari and Camino, and find other solutions. I have a slower Macs, and these XUL browsers (Firefox, SeaMonkey, Flock, etc) are intolerably clunky on them once they accumulate a few bookmarks and extensions. It's not just the slowness, the several seconds it takes to open new windows, or the sometimes-they-work-sometimes-they-don't key commands, it's the poor matching to the Mac UI. The little things. You're editing a URL in the location bar, and the up-arrow does not go to the beginning of the field, nor does the down-arrow go to the end of the field, as it would in a real Mac application. Of course, extension developers have less respect (and awareness) of the Mac UI, leading to all sorts of bizarre behavior, from sheets and dialogs with no visible means of dismissal, to key command conflicts with OS X. |
|
Accumulated bookmarks, history, and extensions bog down all of these browsers. In Firefox, create a new profile by launching Firefox with the Profile Manager before doing a comparison. |
|
I find it unstable and kind of sketchy. Ha ha. But really, in this range, it looks like Lineform > Intaglio. It depends on what you want to do, and what formats you want to output to. For the best SVG compatibility, it's still all about Inkscape, even though it's an X11 app. |
|
You may also want to check out the AmunRaa Recording Studios' ShapeShifter themes, versions 1.1 and 1.2. |
|
If you're on a CRT, possibly. On an LCD or flat screen, it depends on the particular technology...it can actually consume more energy. |
|
The Orphan Preferences feature is ridiculous. I have 1476 such "orphaned" preferences on my system, and any cursory glance of them shows many preferences that are definitely not orphaned. Even the first screenful of them reveals Mac OS X's own .GlobalPreferences as "orphaned" and invites you to delete it. CleanApp is better than other apps in this category, but even with that one, it's best if you know what you're doing. |
|
With which CPU and graphics cards do the timing selections test as accurate for pictures? Every setting seems the same--actually the shorter settings seems longer, though this may be because of my expectation that they be less noticeable. I find every image readily recognizable and quite superliminal. Images are even more intrusive by the white background that is flashed around them to fill the entire screen. Oddly, pictures must be kept in a fixed subfolder of ~/Documents instead of a selectable folder or even a subfolder in... ~/Pictures. To make your images available to the program, you can make an alias to your folder of images, move it under ~/Documents, and rename it to "SMPictures". |
|
Thanks for replying: I'm using the updated version happily. As for the locale problem, it was caused by losing the path setup with a recent fink update. |
|
Hi, I've installed btpd versions many times in the past -- I do a full install each time with OS X installer since internal updating mechanism failed for me when I tried it. In the last two or three builds, the lower buttons in the GUI sidebar for starting/stopping the daemon are gone. Yesterday, I installed 160, and since then I've been getting perl locale errors in bash... ?? |
|
Yep, that's what I use. For a while I didn't know it was SafariStand that provided the ⌘-clicking ability, and I figured it was an undocumented feature of Safari. Perian is great, too. A lot of people were waiting for Apple to do what that provides. |
|
A reminder: Older versions of iTunes will likely fail to authorize any iTunes Store protected items... |
|
Wow, really? I recommend SuperCal. For me the real legibility problem isn't the dark motif at all, but his choice of Courier and a very wide fixed column of text. Then there's the weak English. You'd think someone --and particularly now, a company-- making a translation product would want to nail that. |
|
Firefox is getting slower and slower due to accumulated bookmarks and add-ons. Start a fresh profile in Firefox and you'll see what I mean. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Mac_OS_X |
|
More like the litter box. |
|
Same thing happens with me every time. v1.5 test 2 and test 3, too. The menu item appears, it drops a single menu, but nothing on it works at all, including Quit. Launch Activity Manager, select iScrobbler and quit it there. Use Spotlight to trash iScrobbler and its support files. |
|
But what would that have to do with mp3 info? |
|
I only have about 70 or 80 friends. I can still get a sense of how painfully slow and demanding this app would be if I had a lot. |
|
The name of "AddressBook Exporter" (v1.0) is very easy to confuse with "Address Book Exporter" (v2.1.2) |
|
87MB for scripts? Wow! "NOTE: OS X must be set to "English" language & formats to "U.S." or else scripts won't work." Oh. Is AppleScript necessarily like that? |
|
Ah yes, a little program called Keychain Access seems to do something similar :) Sometimes Keychain Access loses everything on a keychain though when it becomes corrupt, as my login keychain did recently. There's a bunch of free and shareware general purpose notebook which feature strong encryption that will do, besides Yohimbo. Journler could do it, and it's free. A more flexible option, and if your records aren't stored in one-big-database, should be safer to use. I personally find apps which feature encryption as well as misspellings or typos in the GUI elements to be too dodgy to use. Sorry, iSafe. |
|
You're better off with Xiph and Perian for QT, and VLC. |
|
I wish I knew why this isn't working for me. 10.4.8, Safari 2.0.4, G3. The GUI works, I have the :) menu and see the scripts checked, but none of the scripts I've loaded are actually affecting pages. JS is on, of course. Tried moving my other InputManagers out of the way and re-logging in. I've only loaded scripts that supposedly work in Creammmonkey (Greased Lightbox, and others tagged "creammonkey" at userscripts.org). |
|
Has Omicron also "taken" X? |
|
Say what? |
|
Heh. The way people are writing in this thread, someone reading might think the only things that played back standard MPEG-4 audio were iTunes Store licensed gear :p |
|
Privoxy users: toggle Privoxy off to download btpd-front from here. |
|
Seriously. For playback in QuickTime, consider Perian; outside QuickTime, VLC. For DivX-compatible encoding in QuickTime, consider 3ivx and MPEG Streamclip; outside QuickTime, ffmpegX, VisualHub, or other mencoder/ffmpeg tools. |

This package (GnuPG) is the main program, and--strictly speaking--all you need to use GnuPG encryption. However, unless you work entirely in the command-line environment or are very fond of copy-and-paste, you'll like some additional software that will plug GnuPG into your GUI apps. (PGP would release all this sort of stuff themselves as an integrated package, whereas with GnuPG you pick and choose the pieces you need.) You'll likely want the GUI apps that the MacGPG project supplies. Then you'll likely want a plug-in for your mail application: e.g. If you use Mail.app, you'll also want GPGMail. If you use Thunderbird or SeaMonkey, you'll want Enigmail. There's likely a plug-in for your app. More info: http://fiatlux.zeitform.info/en/instructions/pgp_macosx.html [The software that is only of concern to developers is GPGME.] |

Nah. It just leaves nagging parts behind. As for the app when it's installed, my review in June on another site was as follows: -- I tried it. The key-combo selection wasn't a problem, it's customizable and it seems to make a reasonable choice to begin with, depending on whether you're on 10.3 or 10.4, etc. While the app is attractive and stylish in the Cocoa fashion, and smartly introduced as a preference pane, I found it to be almost hilariously intrusive. Really, you have to try it, it's much worse than you would imagine by reading the description. You know how you'd be typing along and you make a typo and you FEEL it before you even see it, and you automatically backup a space and correct it? You can't do that anymore. Even if the error happens at the beginning of a word, even if you decided to use a different word. The grey pop-up appears, it's insisting, and it's modal. You must deal with it and its interface NOW, but it doesn't know what you want, and won't get out of your way. I uninstalled it in record time. -- Or so I thought, lol. |
|
I uninstalled this most ridiculous concept in software minutes after installing, months ago. I don't even want to review this thing now, the only way I can understand it is if it were a joke. Now, several weeks (months?) after the fact, a dialog began popping up with every new app I launch... It had left behind an input manager...go to /Library/InputManagers/ and remove the Amendment folder there. If anyone knows of other droppings it leaves, please add. |
|
Apparently the dev hasn't tried using Create on an iBook's display. |

You're too late. The current logo was the winner of an open contest last year with many entries. http://dev.seamonkey.at/ Perhaps you would have preferred the original icon? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v12/rollercoasting/icons/seamonkeyicon.png |

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060620 Firefox/1.5.0.4 Flock/0.7.1 Flock is a Firefox variant. Flock's page rendering is identical to Firefox. I'm not going to call the original poster a liar or a troll... though I suggest we don't waste much time wondering why anyone would claim to have used every development version of an app they have no use for... |
|
If after you install, you're wondering where it installed the DivX Browser Plug-In—check the Trash. Really :) |
|
I don't know if they're self-editorializing or what, but nowadays they're installing the plugin in the Trash. (DivX 6.5 installer) |
|
No longer seems to work. Only loads the GMail login page, even if you're already logged in... Google has since released Gmail Notifier, however, which can be chosen as a mailto: app, and seems to work fine for one account. |
