This just does not work for me. Mac OS X 10.5.2 on an Intel iMac. I load my mailboxes with messages, start this thing up (set to check server) click on update... nothing. I try off-and-on for 5 minutes, nothing. I start mail... loads all the messages that this app should have told me were there to be read. |
|
No. He is correct. Apple has changed how calendar events are stored - there is no longer a "corestorage.ics" file, but multiple files each representing a calendar event. They also moved the location of the calendar storage, further complicating the whole process. Too bad, I guess I could pay for GSync. |
|
Well, this one is more visually appealing than some of the others. |
|
Of course, and you realize I didn't mean "just me" I meant to users in general. And I was honestly interested in knowing if there were advantages because it is 100% possible that the implementation IS better than the backend used by Adium. I wanted to know if this was the case, and whether or not it triumphed over the mac-specific UI offered by Adium. |

Not to be a jerk, but what is the advantage of that to me (mac user)? Is file sharing better? Compatibility in general better? |
|
Oh wait! I misread! I will try moving it from system to user library. |
|
No, I started from a fresh OS X install. Checked that, it's the current APE only. Ah well. |
|
Sorry! Forgot to mention: iMac 2.4 core 2 duo, Mac OS X 10.5.2. |
|
Just a note, I will inform the developers as well, but I was overjoyed to see the haxies back and immediately installed the ones available (I have licenses for them all) and none of them worked for me, after logging out and logging back in. I did not restart my computer. Please let me know if they worked for you. (AE 2.5b1). |
|
I did. My message was just a "warning" to not upgrade until it is addressed. |
|
Same as previous poster. I am running 10.5.2. No go. I reverted to the previous beta version. It could be a bad build? When I reinstalled from an older version it required my password. This installer did not. |
|
Same here. I reverted to the last Beta version. |
|
That whole "indentation" claim used AGAINST Python really irks me. It is one of the best features of one of the most easy-to-learn languages available. I agree with your comments. |
|
For the moment, at least, it is not downloading for me. |
|
Yes, I know it says "pre-leopard" but people might miss that. And if you install over the version that comes w/Mac OS X 10.5 you could potentially hose something. |
|
Just an FYI... 10.5 comes with Ruby/ROR. |
|
My wife and I have been using GyazMail for years now. My wife has been using it consistently, I waffle back and forth between Mail and GyazMail. I thought with Leopard I would stick with the new and improved Mail.app, but ... it inexplicably loses message texts! Not often, but every once in a while I get new mail, click on it and the body of the message is missing. (Not because it is an image or group of images - seems random). Despite all the cool features Mail has now, I find my self once again using GyazMail because, as everyone else here has said, "it just works." |
|
Yes, that has become common knowledge. Does that warrant a single star? While the author was not forthcoming in reordering results (in SOME cases) the application itself is nicely done. You can comment on what he did all you want, but you should not rate the application based on anything but features, value, ease of use, etc. |
|
Good product, chock full of excellent features and generates very customizable and professional looking websites. My only complaint has been (and yes, I have sent mail to the developers) the performance as my photo albums, blog-like pages and other media-rich pages grow. In the past hangs and crashes have been an issue, but in recent versions they seem to be eliminated. This product really can get a website up literally overnight. Examples of a couple sites I have thrown together: http://homepage.mac.com/candiazoo/anthemzoo http://www.starlightcommunitytheater.org |
|
Lots of features, useful code completion. This is nice software... I am afraid to ask how much it will run us when it is complete? |
|
To followup on my own mention of the size of the application, 28 MB is taken up by the FMP runtime engine, the rest is taken up by the FMP framework. Not sure if there is any way to squeeze this or not. |
|
After a false start with a bad DMG, and then making a fool out of myself for not seeing the developer's email address at the bottom of his homepage, I got a good DMG to play with. It has everything I could want (regarding data/features), or would at least include myself in an application. As I had mentioned I had started writing an application for my wife using python, sqlite and tk. I would personally have mapped the data a little differently but the reporting makes up for how the data is organized. Two gripes: 1. It is a bit slow and 2. The executable/application file itself is gigantic (over 70 MB). I am guessing this is because the application includes the entire FileMaker database engine? Still, you got done what I've never completed. :) I'll run it by my wife and see if she is interested in using it. |
|
Thanks. I was at his site and didn't see that. DOH! |
|
I could not find an email address for the developer to let him/her know. |
|
Whoops! Downloaded Flick!.dmg, but OS X says "no mountable file system." |
|
I love you. I have been telling my wife I would write an application just like this for her for YEARS. I've started it on several occasions (mapping data and getting the basic database designed and object interface written) but always lost interest in it and never polished off the UI. I am going to download this immediately and give it a try... Her list of things she wanted were: - ability to enter shows and mark paintings current locations - sale prices with or w/o framing - contact and interest lists - media/topic/etc. This looks like it will do all that... |
|
No review... just commenting that I think it is great that people still port/support development environments like LISP (which in great part gave rise to the awesome languages such as ruby, io, python and others). Thank you! |
|
Leopard 10.5.1, Mail 3.0, latest Beta of Mail Tags. Doesn't seem to be working, no keyword searches (dynamic folders) work. Could be I missed that it was not working in the release notes. Uninstalling for now. |
|
Not sure? I have two external hard drives and it finds files on those? |
|
LOL |
|
Fun little application. Not sure if it corresponds 100% to a traditional board but I enjoyed trying it out. I asked "Who am I?" I got an answer that basically said I am trying to rediscover my intentions and about to embark on a journey. :) |
|
What a shame. I emailed the author a year ago asking if he would release sources, no response. This is a great application (well, for those who like this sort of design). Still works on 10.4.11, btw. I wonder if it will work on Leopard? Anyway, if anyone knows the developer, see if he is willing to release the sources into open source or something. |
|
Great idea! I like the simplicity of it. I think separating the UI options from the maintenance utilities was a great idea. |
|
Spoke with (well, via email) developer. The problem was a plugin called SIMBL which is used by A-Dock to make (for example) the email icon dynamic. |
|
Yeah... I am sending him the crash report. Probably due to something running on my Mac. |
|
Does not work on 10.4.10, intel mac mini. Won't start. |
|
Netscape basically IS firefox, with special addons. I like its look and feel, and played with it in BETA for awhile... not bad. Navigator is nice but its primary purpose is to integrate with the Netscape site, which it also does pretty well. I didn't want to post a review because while I like it, I am still an OmniWeb fan and also prefer Camino over Firefox and Netscape Navigator for its simplicity and Mac OS X integration. |
|
I've tried both LaunchBar and Quicksilver and like them, tho' I have not become accustomed to working by that method. I still tend to do things the "old fashioned way" by organizing my files in what I consider to be a logical layout and use spotlight to find text within my source code to pinpoint modules I need to work on from time to time. I find Spotlight to be sufficiently quick. While I can see why you mentioned the worth of LaunchBar and Quicksilver, they are far more feature inclusive applications than Google Desktop for Mac. |
|
I've tried several versions of this application. It seems to run alright, but I guess at this point I fail to see what advantages this holds over Spotlight. It does basically the same thing, takes up a good amount of disk space, and has been buggy (understandable at this point). With plugins, Spotlight can also search the web/google. Using mdimport you can assign new types of files that you want spotlight to scan, if it misses some that google desktop scans. So again, I am not sure what the point is. |
|
Same thing with me. Random crashes... usually a good way into the game too. :( |
|
It's nice but when I tested it out using Aphonopelma (just by itself, then with a species as well) not much shows up, when in fact these spiders are found throughout the South and West of the US and North of Mexico. Like everywhere, throughout the Sonoran Desert and beyond. I gave it a value of 2 simply because the only thing I am really interested in using it for doesn't work. |
|
Looks like a nice editor. There is now officially a plethora of programming editors available for the mac user. :) |
|
Path Finder rocks, what else can be said? I use it as a complete Finder replacement (move Path Finder.app to /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app after renaming Finder.app, of course, then change the PkgInfo from whatever it is to FNDRMACS). Uses more memory than Finder, but is quick, streamlined and has tons of extra features that make working on my mac from day to day a much better experience. The breadcrumbs alone make me very happy. :) --- I've been using Path Finder as a Finder replacement since 4.0. The earlier versions had a few issues that would cause Finder to start which that made it a little annoying, I haven't seen these issues since 4.5. |
|
I hate to sound like a broken record, but they STILL have not fixed basic functionality of a web browser, like bookmarking. I can't bookmark, I can't browse. It's useless, as pretty as it is, it is useless. FYI each time I try a new version, I remove all related files from application support and preferences. I don't understand what they are thinking here. They are going to discourage their user base. I am giving all very low ratings for this because they apparently don't care about functionality, but only about glitz. |
|
Let me rephrase... it doesn't "freeze my mac" but it does seem to block input and a slight race condition occurs. |
|
The game itself is fun, but it has the ability to freeze my entire mac, forcing me to reboot. This is reproducible on my computer by simply failing a level and having the "Try again" screen pop up. At this point if I am in full screen mode I am SOL. If I am playing in window mode, I can use the keyboard to switch to Finder, start Process Monitor and kill it. |
|
I can't provide a thorough review, but I will say this, the indexing is happening much more quickly than previous versions. They also fixed my install issues. So far, so good. I haven't seen any mdimport crashes. It is indexing between 70 and 100 files per second on my mac mini. |
|
This product has been in my applications folder since the day I discovered it. Excellent maintenance utility that does way more than just maintenance tasks. It is stable and has never caused me any problems. And... it's free! |
|
Been using Onyx forever. Never had a problem with it, ever. I had saying this, because I think it is obnoxious, but RTFM. It's not right that you should rate it so low just because you misunderstood the functionality. |
|
Actually I do that to stub ideas from time to time. Save a couple of blank files with different names to remind me of the classes I want to create. |
|
It is a great product and I used it often until I bought BBEdit. It does almost anything, or at least has the potential to do almost anything you can do with BBEdit. Does anyone have CVS scripts? I have tried and tried to get CVS working (updates, checkins, etc.) from the menu as a script but I just can't get it working. Anyway, good product, great price! |
|
Has anyone noticed that with the released version sometimes different functions step on one another? This did not happen in the last beta version I ran. In this version when it is checking mail for my various mailboxes, and filtering and I try to do something (like read a message) it starts popping up message boxes saying it is busy doing something else!! I also have SpamSieve running with it as well. Am I crazy? Alone? |
|
*should* should be *shows* |
|
Using WebKit it is pleasingly quick and renders nicely. The application itself is (IMO of course) well laid out, and being an omniweb user I like the thumbail tabs. But my joy ends there as many of the preferences do not work and I cannot manage my bookmarks. There are also visual glitches that occur in the bookmarks shelf window. Really, if I could just manage my bookmarks I'd be willing to try using it more often. It should promise, but I don't know why this would even be considered anything other than late alpha, early beta quality. |
|
Looks pretty much like FileRun has vanished into thin air. All the FileRun sites are empty. |
|
Here is the error: Not Found The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it. Please inform the site administrator of the referring page. |
|
Doesn't work. The application does, but when I create an account on labs.zap2it.com, the account creation in general succeeds, but when it tries to redirect to the setup page it fails. I cannot go back and log in either (same thing happens, login seems to work but tries to redirect to a configuration page and fails.) |
|
Works as advertised and my mail runs faster and smoother. Not only that, since I ran this I no longer suffer from the "can't connect to server" problem with mail!!! I don't know if it is coincidence or something else, but I don't care. I am so happy I don't have to go offline/online all the time now. |
|
It appears that if your list of files is larger than the window, if you move your mouse above (or below) the window it acts as tho' you are hovering over your files (as if they were not scrolled out of the active port). |
|
Love this app, use it with Finder to bring back some of the things I missed with BeOS. Works well, easy to use/configure. Wishlist: I now use PathFinder exclusively and, obviously, OMC doesn't work with Path Finder (I don't even know if PF has hooks it could use). So, now if I use Finder menu items to use OMC, Finder is started. Otherwise, fantastic little tool! |
|
I used to use OS X Notes, then sidenote; I prefer edgies. It is chock full of options, yet presented in a very simple and easy-to-use manner. I really did not mind paying the small shareware fee for this application. Well worth it. |
|
Ummmmm... ratings should probably be based on the functionality of the widget and personal religious views not really be a part of it. If you had perhaps said something like "This widget does nothing more than list summaries of blog entries that bring you to a website when clicked," I could see a reason for a low rating, since there are hundreds of widgets like that, created from examples provided by Apple. |
|
Hmmm, I should note that I did not review the scripting aspect of Mailsmith, mostly because it is of no use to me at the moment, but I wanted to mention it because it does skew my review, not including features that many people appreciate. Sorry. |
|
Downloaded and am using for trial period. I am on an Intel mac, so it runs in emulation mode. Even so, it is reasonably quick. It has some excellent filtration capabilities, but Apple mail and Gyazmail are catching up there. Also, with MailTags (I know, it is an add-on) you can really add some searchability to Apple mail. The other two products also interface with SpamSieve. Sorry that this has become more of a comparison than a review of Mailsmith for it's own value, but the problem is that the developers have left it sit unchanged for 2 years now. And for $99 it is not worth it. - No IMAP - Filtering not too far ahead of Apple Mail - SpamSieve supports Apple Mail Another review questioned the lack of html viewing, I actually like that and consider it a feature. Just hit the WEB button and you can see the HTML message in your browser. My overall rating is 3, because it is a stagnant product that is losing ground fast. Features, 3... lacking IMAP, Non-universal, and should propably be updated to make use of more recent improvements in the operating system. Ease of use, 4... it is easy to use, what can I say. Value, 2... when you an do 90% of what Mailsmith can do with Apple Mail, why pay $99? With the addition of something like MailTags, you are still spending less but gaining some capabilities. And soon Leopard will be released and Mail will have even more advanced features. Stability, 5... no problems running the application and in daily use... even tho' it is a PPC app on an intel computer. |
|
Can't argue there. :) |
|
It does what it says, displays the processes. You can sort them in 3 different ways, and switch between user and all processes. What is missing, however, is dynamicism. The process display is static (in menubar), a snapshot at the time you click on it. Aside: I've been longing for the equivalent of the "ProcessController" written for the BeOS. That was one of the simplest, cleanest most useful process tools ever written. Menumeters is useful, but not as elegant. Someday! |
|
I would guess because the short name for the application is "xP" which sounds like MS Windows XP... hence the icon that looks like the Windows XP icon. |
|
Sounds like a useful app. Can you record triggers and such - or is that what the comments are for? |
|
Like FRACTACULAR I purchased GyazMail a few years back when Mail.app was about as reliable as cheap memory. He nailed it when he mentioned 6 stars for stability. Wish list / question: Does GyazMail have a plugin interface? Something that could be used to, for example, create an add-on like MailTags for it? |
|
Gross! :) Well I downloaded it and tried in free mode. The flyswatter would be welcomed. It's not for me, but it is grossly "cute." One thing that "bugged" me was the sound loop. Should probably be mixed up a little with other sounds and a less conspicuous loop. A cool feature to add would be to have the screen be more like a camera lens and allow the flys to land on it (bottoms of flies facing you on the screen, and larger as if they are closer). |
|
Ah! Well that is much different. For $30 I might just give it a shot then. |
|
Oh, forgot to say, it looks like a nice application with good features and good visual feedback as to what it is doing. |
|
This would be of more value if it could defrag the system disk without having to boot from another volume. It would be an instant purchase for me, but otherwise... I run websites on my mac and don't want to have to shutdown and boot off a CD or some other disk to defrag. It would be easier just to perform an image backup and run off that. Maybe it cannot be done with HFS+, I don't know... I know it can be done with NTFS and RMS but perhaps that's because of how the file system flags read operations or something... |
|
The GUI tool works very nicely and it reminds me of VAX BASIC from the good old days. However... The first universal release command line tool worked fine for me, but the subsequent releases complain that: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib Referenced from: /usr/bin/basic Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap Indicating that maybe my X11 is out of synch or the developer's machine is different. |
|
Do you have the universal version? Should we e-mail the developer directly? |
|
I have not tried it yet, but it is a good idea. I have been meaning to write exactly the same program for several years now... I'd even gotten a partial gui written (in Python/wxWidgets) but I keep losing interest in the project. Good for you for writing it! My wife is an artist, I'll have to download it for her. |
|
This is nice, I like it. Is there any way to control the time between switching views? Or is there a way to slow it down in "Fly by" mode? |
|
This reminds me (at least in appearance) of the ProcessController application on BeOS. Does it run in the menubar, out of the way until you need it? |
|
I believe Enlightenment also has that feature? I could be wrong. It would be interesting. |
|
Don't know about Rosetta... but APE/Xounds crashed and would not start again. 10.4.7 here as well on a Mactel. Too bad. I won't try using it again until Unsanity actually works out all the problems with the Universal binary. |
|
Thanks for the link. I think performance issues are iffy. This comparison did not include the beta version of FF2. Also, most people go in immediately and tweak the http network settings in the Firefox config to speed things up A LOT. I am guessing the reviewer did not do that? I don't know. But again, thanks for the link. |
|
Somebody is a BeOS fan. These are the same contextual menu features available with the BeOS, which I had actually been hoping OS X (and GNOME for that matter) would incorporate! $15... a bit pricy, on the other hand why not try and make a buck if you can. |
