STROB  VL is discontinued and it can not be purchased.  
(Version 2.0.2.255)

STROB  Desktops is a good virtual desktop program. The features it has works well. If it were not for Codetek's similar program this would be my top choice. But the program is missing two very important features: 1) to assign applications to a particular destop and most important to allow a program to appear on selected, multiple desktops. Codetek Virtualdesktops, therefore, is much more configurable. The only thing that this has over Codetek is the fancy desktop transitions, which I love.

You Control also needs polishing in one particular area. The pager is not at all polished. The desktop names in it look awful. The window pictures appear to be black and white and are difficult to distinguish from one another. This is important when you want to move a window from one desktop to another. Codetek does this slightly better but not perfect. It relies on displaying the applications icon on each window. I prefer this method, at least I can tell which program it is. Also Codetek lets you configure the pager multiple ways, not being locked to the menu bar, whereas You Control only allows a non-configurable vertical column. A long column makes dragging a window more work.

Rating: 3.5 stars  
(Version 1.3)

STROB  I used to like Azureus, but Vuze 4 is without doubt totally useless on my G5 10.4.11. It is totally unresponsive, in fact, I can't get it to do anything at all. What on Earth happened to such a promising app?  
(Version 4.0.0.2)

STROB  I should also add that one can use Fink instead of Macports to install the 11 (!) additional tools needed to compile aMule.  
(Version 2.2.2)

STROB  The instructions for installing this on a mac is not your simple configure, make, make install from source. It is much more complicated than that. The following have to be downloaded and installed separately before compiling aMule: Xcode, Macports, Crypto++, and wxMac. I doubt very many people would have ability or desire to attempt it. The site says the latest binary is 2.1.3. What is needed is a 2.2.2 binary.   
(Version 2.2.2)

STROB  Download uncompresses to 38 files with no instructions on how to install this thing. Any help from the developer please?  
(Version 2.2.2)

STROB  Well, about one week later I received a kernel panic and had to reboot. I then received a pop-up asking me to fix my security settings. All of a sudden Privoxy 3.0.10 is working. Not sure what happened to make the upgrade work. Is a reboot necessary?  
(Version 3.0.10)

STROB  I installed v3.0.10 onto OS X 10.4.11 with G5 using universal installer. But as with the initial upgrade to v3.0.8 this version prevents access to the internet. I am hoping that the developer fixes this as fast as he did the last time.  
(Version 3.0.10)

STROB  3.0b8 seem MUCH better that 7. No more problems with daemon. So far everything seems to work as it should.  
(Version 3.0b8)

STROB  Latest version has become almost useless to me. Logging takes 75-100% cpu and usually shows as not responding, slowing my Mac down to a crawl. CleanApp itself will sometimes not launch if the logging is running.

More things than ever are now showing up as related items which have nothing to do with the application being deleted.

This is disappointing. I notified the developer but this time my email has gone unanswered. Their support site forum said that they will fix the daemon but that was back on 7/12.  
(Version 3.0b7)

STROB  Sounds like a really tough decision for us Tiger guys. Let's see. We can stay with Tiger and find a any number of substitutes like Devonthink or Eaglefiler. Or we can pay Apple 100+ dollars to "upgrade" to Leopard and then buy Evernote. Then at the same time be forced to "upgrade" ($$$) many applications that we have already purchased that work fine under Tiger. Additionally we loose support for many fine applications under Classic.

Seems like a great deal...for Apple and developers.  
(Version 1.1.4)

STROB  I went through the whole laborious setup procedure to sync with iCal. Claims of setting this up in 10 minutes seem unbelievable. Give yourself at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then, after you have followed all the setup instructions to the letter, you will realize that GCALDaemon will only sync ONE of your calendars with iCal. No mention is made of this limitation is on the website and neither is an explanation how to setup of multiple calendars.   
(Version 1.0b14 )

STROB  Documentation states that it requires OS 10.5. Unbelievably inconsiderate!!! Filemaker (Apple) should make it backward compatible to at least Panther. Pass.  
(Version 1.0v2r1)

STROB  I don't yet know the value of this application. However, I do have a problem with it. In the short amount of time I have tried it, I have woken up a few times to find the screen plastered with "SMART Status Warning! The SMART status of your startup disk is Verified".

First off I use SMARTReporter to tell me if anything goes wrong with my startup disk so I don't need OmniGrowl telling me it is OK. Second, I don't need my screen half plastered with these notifications which need to be deleted one by one. Very annoying, developer. Can you fix?  
(Version 2.0.1)

STROB  AOL Radio 1.2b1 crashes within 5 seconds after choosing the connection speed launch on my G5.   
(Version 1.2b1)

STROB  I agree with the other posters here than 9.0.45 breaks things in Safari based browsers even after uninstalling the old and repairing permissions. I wound up coping the 9.0.20 plugin from my backup HD to my /Library/Internet Plugins folder. Everything is working again.  
(Version 9.0.45)

(Version 9.0.45)

STROB  Attractive, but certain apps have problems. Take Mail for example. The list of messages are black letters on a charcoal background which is hardly readable. Still all dark themes I have tried are quirky.  
(Version 1.0)

STROB  Got it. It does respond if I drop it onto AppDelete.app in the AppDelete folder when it is not open. It did not respond by dragging an app to the AppDelete window or onto the Dock icon.

I also noticed that AppDelete does not list the files to be deleted. How do I know what AppDelete is about to delete? I'd want to review the files so I know it wasn't deleting something it shouldn't.  
(Version 1.0.2)

STROB  Reggie, there are no further details reportable. Absolutely nothing happens when dragging any app to it. The only other observation I might add is that the bucket icon in the AppDelete window also contains a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside of equal size which does not appear in your screenshot. I am not sure if it should be there or if it relevant.  
(Version 1.0.2)

STROB  I installed AppDelete on a G5 but nothing happens when a app is dragged to the icon. Not sure why this is not working as others have reported.  
(Version 1.0.2)

STROB  Park is indeed slick, different and pleasant to view. However, the documentation is sparse. It seems that the user is supposed to use the buttons at the bottom of the form to edit easily. But I have not yet figured out how to use them. Pressing a snip while in the edit mode does not seem. to make any changes. I hope the developer would elaborate on its usage in the instructions.  
(Version 0.9)

STROB  The same problem here too on a G5.  
(Version 1.1)

STROB  You are not kidding! This thing installed several packages that required DeInstaller to be run about six times. Even then the directory structure was left in /opt which required command line removal.

In the end couldn't get this running; kept complaining about DNS host name on setup. No app is worth this trouble.  
(Version 3.1.1)

STROB  The right-click crashing appears to have been a problem/conflict with another CM plugin. After deleting that my right click is now working again.

I got back the use of my other modules.

after reinstalling, then uninstalling via the installer. Apparently deleting the .ape folder manually can lead to problems.

I have reinstalled iCeCoffee which appears to be functioning properly now.   
(Version 1.4.2)

STROB  Please use this with caution. I believe that it is responsible for removing my ability to right/control-click in most applications, which now crash instead. It also seems to have rendered all other APE modules ineffective.

Hopefully the developer can address this ASAP. (OS X 10.4.5)
