STEVEN JAY COHEN  The AdSubtract filters are being ported to GlimmerBlocker. See the GlimmerBlocker Custom Filter page for more details.  
(Version Automatic)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  From the developer's site: "I choose to pay US$_____ to download this software."

You didn't buy anything. That was a donation. There is no Lite version. The full Ardour is a GPL product.  
(Version 2.8.2)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Well written, responsive developer, does the job.

Yes, update to 1.0.2. The change was because some people found that 1.0.1 only launched some of the time on a restart.

Until Apple addresses the problem, this is the most elegant solution.  
(Version 1.0.2)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  An option to Exclude Apple Provided Packages (or mark them with a *) would be great. That way, I can go through all the 3rd party software installed without accidentally looking at OS stuff.  
(Version 0.1r33)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I just add my comment to the task title.  
(Version 1.2.5)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I have a free app from Ben Shanfelder that looks the same and does the same thing.

Is this a coincidence?

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17392  
(Version 1.9)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Interesting, but I am put off by the 50mb limit. I am a voice actor and often move around files larger than that.

I wanted to tell this to the developer but could find no contact link on either localhostr's page or the home page of the developer. That made me even less likely to use this widget.

I think the widget is beautiful and this is a great use of the dashboard, but without a valid/simple method of contacting the developer, I can't put something this important to my home business in the hands of this product.  
(Version 1.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Let's stay away from the uninformative whining of the recent posts. here's some real data for you if you are considering updating:

Version 10: works with widgets that play realaudio streams even if you switch back out of Dashboard

Version 11: stops realaudio streams when you switch back to the desktop

Even if it is not officially labeled a beta, version 11 is still not feature complete until this is fixed.

Hopefully, readers will find this a useful comment, since it actually talks about the software instead of whining or simply being a "me too".  
(Version 11.0 build 884)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Wonderful work! Simple to configure, hotkey to temporarily disable, dimming desktop mode... all very nice!

I've just disabled Spaces and decided to use HideItControl in Single Application Mode instead. Great work!  
(Version 1.25)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I've been installing, playing with, and waiting on VirtualBox for a while. With version 1.6, it's come of age!

Absolutely gorgeous! Bravo!  
(Version 1.6)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  We don't need to update anymore. The code automatically updates (if you are using the most recent version that we host on Google Code).  
(Version 11-2007)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Is it possible to use SoundFlower instead of Jack?  
(Version 2.3.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Gorgeous work! I wish there were some way the code that we developed for AdSubtract could help you out. I am really impressed with your work and would love to combine forces.  
(Version 0.2)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Wonderfully done! Works great in 10.5.1 (the client software for no-ip.com doesn't).  
(Version 2.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Make sure you put SafariBlock into /Library/InputManagers and not /Users/YOURNAME/Library/InputManagers first before doing either of the steps above.

And then, restart your mac. If that still didn't work for you, I would try repairing permissions and then restarting.  
(Version 1.3)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Install it into /Library/Input Managers/

Then issue the following from Terminal:

sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/InputManagers

sudo chmod -R go-w /Library/InputManagers

After that, it works perfectly!  
(Version 1.3)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I don't know these other people are complaining about. This v0.1 release is incredibly impressive.

I, for one, am more than willing to help develop this simple solution. Currently, I work on AdSubtract. One of the other devs there pointed this out. I tried it and am incredibly impressed with what I see.  
(Version 0.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Still does not see Mac Applications as files.

I cannot use this on the Mac platform until it sees .app folders as files.  
(Version 3.0.2)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I'm happy that you appreciate the irony :)  
(Version 10-2007)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I use it all the time in Windows, but I can't use it on OSX until it recognizes Mac Applications as executables and not folders.  
(Version 3.0.2rc1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Floppymoose was one of the original sources. So, I know that GoodVibrations is standing on the shoulders of giants :)  
(Version 9-2007)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I forgot to rate it :)

Aside from Ease of Use (which I gave a 3), the rest of Privoxy is definitely a 5. Heck, if it were possible, the other entries should all be 6!

Privoxy developers seem to be of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it school."

It works GREAT in 10.4.10 on my Intel iMac, they don't NEED a newer version. If a new version is needed in 10.5.x, I trust that a newer one will be available.

Great product!  
(Version 3.0.6)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I agree, this is getting a bit harsh. Here is my feedback. Fusion says that it handles multiple cores, so I am going to assume that's true, but the Windows applications that I tend to need aren't heavy enough to show the difference. After all, I run the Mac version of apps like Photoshop.

What made me choose to go with Parallels over this very solid piece of software from VMWare, was how the Finder and Explorer integrate with Parallels. If you look at the Fusion screenshot, you will see the menu used for launching applications. That is totally functional (and probably a lot safer) than allowing Explorer.exe to run, but Parallels answer is just more aesthetically pleasing.

It was easy to test both since they can import eachothers virtual disks, I was able to use the same windows install for both products.

While I was at it, I tried out CrossOver. And, it's wonderful if your software can run under win2000 or earlier. If that's true for you, you should check it out.

And, finally, I also tried VirtualBox.org. It opensource freeware and damned solid! It's also worth checking out. It doesn't do the integration though, so it feels a lot like running VPC7 or earlier, with full screen or window-in-window.

I hope soneone finds those comments helpful.  
(Version 1.1.57919)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  The fix for the problem with Mail.app can be found here:

http://www.davidroessli.com/logs/2007/01/getting_growlmail_to_work/  
(Version 1.1.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Wow! I am amazed how much this has improved!

I have been writing GoodVibrations (the CSS adblock file) and I decided to try out safariblock tonight.

Fantastic work!  
(Version 1.3)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Works well! Nicely done!

Simple and clear direction in the READ ME.  
(Version 1.2.2)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Yes, your icon can be considered funny. After about 5 minutes, it's shortcoming start to show itself.

1. You have no Azureus code in your application.

2. Being named BTPD Front, with the DAEMON abbreviated, the meaning of the daemon in the icon is lost.

I made a quick icon out of some OSS images that I hope you will take the time to consider:

http://sagefire.org/files/btpd-front-icons.zip

You will see that there is a CLI interface with something in FRONT of it. And, the thing in front of it is a downloading widget. Granted, it isn't perfect, but it actually describes your application better than b***-f***ing someone else's icon.   
(Version 0.13b0185)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Awwwwww! Thank you!  
(Version 9-2007)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Either leave a comment on a post in the Good Vibrations category or use the contact form here:

http://sagefire.org/contact/  
(Version 9-2007)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Hey everyone. Good Vibrations is a community effort. So, please report missed ads and accidentally blocked content at Good Vibrations' webpage:

http://sagefire.org/category/software/good-vibrations-css/

Remember, until we fix a bug you report, revealing blocked content is as easy as turning off Good Vibes in your preferences.  
(Version 9-2007)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  It blocks Image and Flash Ads (using size and source data). This differs from SafariBlock and PithHelmet because this is NOT a plugin. It is just a stylesheet. So, it will NEVER be incompatible with an update.  
(Version 8-2007)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  For the first time EVER, an update from Apple broke something on my machine. After Updating to iTunes 7.2 (via software update), I cannot start iTunes (nor can I easily force quit the 1/2 started application).

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.  
(Version 7.2)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Thank you!

I depend on this app so often! A must have!  
(Version 3.4)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Oh, since this is such a simple application, I thought I shoud give you all the source code:

#!/bin/sh

open /System/Library/Components/KeyboardViewer.component/Contents/SharedSupport/KeyboardViewerServer.app  
(Version 1.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  And some people think that using menubar space on something like this is wasteful. I have a 12" powerbook. I find it useful. I thought others might find it useful, so I posted it.  
(Version 1.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  It took me abou 5 minutes to make the same widget WITHOUT the ads. You cn download my ad-free alternative here:

http://sagefire.org/2007/05/03/gtalk-dashboard-widget/  
(Version 1.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  As an application, I don't see how this is any simpler than the pull-down menu Airfoil provides.

But, rebuild this as a widget, and you will have provided a feature that Airfoil has actually said in their forums that they will NEVER provide.  
(Version 1.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I put the following command:

/usr/local/bin/btcli stat -in

into Shell Watcher. A great little widget and it now gives me my btpd status on the dashboard!

http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/shellwatcher.html  
(Version 0.12b0116)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Wow! This just keeps getting better and better!

(And, thank you for implementing my suggestion.)

Here are two more for you to consider:

1) The only missing feature that I see is the ability to pick individual files inside a torrent to download. Once you have done that, you can do everything that I can ever imagine needing.

2) Have you considered sending that streaming status output to a widget? I put "btcli stat -in -w 5" into WidgetTerm ( http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18859 ) and find that "cleaner" than starting a new Terminal session like you are doing right now.  
(Version 0.12b0116)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Instead of a menubar item, you should consider a Preference Pane. After all, most people who prefer to work this way will leave it running all the time.

I use LiteSwitch for this feature alone. Single Application Mode just makes my life easier.

Seriously though, consider a PrefPane. In the end, it makes the most sense for this sort of application.  
(Version 1.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  The developer of btpd-front may want to look into Sparkle: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20366.

With the speed of revisions and bugfixes, adding auto-update functionality looks like a good idea to me.  
(Version 0.12b0114)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Iridium v2.0 will be released as part of an opensource theme-ing project.

Iridium 1.9F still works fine on 10.4.8, so no further updates are needed. If you want to learn more about what I am doing, head on over to my site (www.sagefire.org) and see.  
(Version 1.9.F)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Great idea and very simple.

Can you add auto-refresh to the window? It took me a few minutes to realize that things were downloading since there was no update without me clicking.  
(Version 0.12b096)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I love this program!

Any chance of adding a search box or custom buttons to the top of the window?  
(Version 1.4)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  It's already done. You are looking for:

http://www.nvu.com

It's a Cross Platform, opensource, free, stand-alone version of Netscape Composer.

(Oh, and it has documentation too.)  
(Version 1.0.6)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Do NOT install this on iTunes 7.  
(Version 1.3.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I guess this developer does not read MacUpdate! Anyone looking at this feedback would have done something about it by now.

Please repost a link to the v1.x installer. It will go a long way toward fixing your reputation around here.  
(Version 2.0.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I keep reverting to the old v1 SysStat. I leave processes and network visible. v3 is now almost ready to replace v1 for me. Network mode needs to list EXTERNAL IP. It doesn't you know, not even in advanced mode.  
(Version 3.0b1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Still waiting guys!

I have an email where you PROMISED a bug fix to the free version.

Where's the link?  
(Version 2.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  So, when are you going to release the FREE v1.2.2 that you promised in the email where I reported the RealPlayer problem?

I have no problem if you make v2 shareware. But I do have a problem if you decide to end v1 without fixing that bug.

Hoping to see v1.2.2 posted this week...  
(Version 2.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I just converted to Journler from MacJournal (very simple actually, just export your macjournal entries to RTF documents and then import to Journler).

This app does everything I need. The developer is incredibly responsive (added my request [Full Screen mode] to the current beta).

I enjoy it so much that I download the beta's from Phil's site and submit feedback to the forums there.

Support good developers/software like this! Use it, submit feedback, tell your friends about it. All in all, a wonderful product!  
(Version 2.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Minimize to Menu is an interesting idea but Airfoil is the kind of app that cries out for a dashboard widget. Please consider making a widget. Us people with 12" and 13" screens get crowded menu bars :)  
(Version 2.0.3)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  WebTV stations stopped working after upgrading RealPlayer to the current version. Downgrading to v10.0 brought back functionality.

Hopefully, 1.2.2 will address this.

Aside from that, incredible app!  
(Version 1.2.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I was also coding one of these, but I had started with the ShiiraMini code because I was trying to get it to be a dashboard widget. I love what you have done. Any chance of getting it as a widget? Also, instead of using that BeOS icon, how about a non-descript box, slightly open, with musical notes coming out of it. After all, the service is Pandora, it should have a box in the icon :)  
(Version 1.0.5)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Personally, I like this app a lot more than Path Finder. Thank you so much for making it!  
(Version 1.1.3)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I just checked if it does edit Extras2.rsrc.

The answer is NO.

So, since the themes I build do not rely on ShapeShifter (they are stand alone themes with their own installers), v3 of ThemePark is useless to me.  
(Version 3.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Yes, but will it edit Extras2.rsrc?!?!

Without that, you cannot build themes for the Intel macs.  
(Version 3.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I love the program!

I use it to redirect BBC audio streams.

The only way to make it better would be if I could control it from a widget instead of having the app open.

Airfoil seems like it would be a natural addition to the dashboard.  
(Version 2.0.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Markus has done a wonderful job improving RadioTuner. It is now the only radio widget that I have installed. If a stream is available for both iTunes and Real, I now choose Real so the player can be confined to my dashboard. RadioTuner works wonderfully with Airfoil and my Airport Express, allowing me to listen to music anywhere in my home.

I like the v1.0 skin better than the older one, though it looks a bit pixelated on my screen.

All in all, a great widget!  
(Version 1.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Well done!

But, it has a huge memory leak. It is showing processor usage of 59% to 64%. Let me know when this is fixed because I like it much more than Apple's default accuweather widget.  
(Version 1.0.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I must be asleep at the wheel!

Processes!! Processes!! Processes!!

Yippee! Thank you!  
(Version 1.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I agree. It is beautifully done. But, I can't upgrade from the old one unless it is going to list top processes again.

I can't tell you how many times I used that feature to diagnose memory leaks in applications.

So, I'm stuck on the old version of this widget until that feature shows up in the new one :(  
(Version 1.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  NO!!! Not an update!

I tried to delete this from the site and the system updated it!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

(Unless you are looking for the UNINSTALLER)  
(Version 1.1)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Please redownload IridiumTunes. It seems that because of a problem on my server, you may have gotten the last beta and not IridiumTunes v1.3.

So sorry for any problems, but there is a simple fix.  
(Version 1.7)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I've tried before and I run up against Carbon apps that balk at the darker color theme. This is where ShapeShifter shines over stand-alone themes.

With ShapeShifter, its easy to mask things that I can't with my theme-ing method.

Hope that helps,

Steven  
(Version 1.7)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Could you contact me via my website? I'd love to know more about the System hang. I invoked Disk Utility from the command line in the installer, so I know I didn't do anything too tricky.

But, if I could get more details from you about this, I know I could improve the install process.  
(Version 1.7)
