Sothink SWF Decompiler
Aug 21 2008
****.

VERYVITO  SoThink SWFDecompiler stands head and shoulders above other SWF decompilers available on OS X -- providing great conversion for even the latest SWF files.

That said, the Mac version is fairly young (first released this summer), and feels much less solid than the app you may remember from your PC days. Some things just seem to take a lOOOooong time -- but then again, eventually, they DO work. The conversion engine is solid, but the interface itself feels like a ported program.

Regardless, it's a must-have when you need to see what's going on under the hood of a piece for which you no longer have source.

VERYVITO  While you may not notice it in day-to-day drag-and-drog file operations, there are several reasons a case-sensitive OS is preferable.

First, it allows more flexibility when naming files. This example is extreme, but an attorney might have two documents he wants to keep in an archive folder: MoleStationCase.doc (concerning Mole Station, MD) and MolestationCase.doc (concerning sexual misconduct). A glance could tell the names apart, but in a case-insensitive OS, they would overwrite one another.

Also, consider the developer's convention of uppercasing class names, such as Button.java, to differentiate them from instance-level directives found in button.java.

There are many reasons to choose case-sensitive file systems, and I think it's only for historical reasons that Apple even includes the non-sensitive option in OS X.

VERYVITO  Cheaper than free? That's hard to beat.

But true, CMD-OPT-H works just as well... as long as you delete all your desktop icons, hide your dock and spend a few minutes cropping your final screenshot. Enjoy that.

VirtualHostX

*****

VERYVITO  I've been using this for months now, and the addition of custom directives makes it even better than before. I'm pretty comfortable editing config files by hand, but this tool makes it even easier, and just about foolproof -- and anything that improves productivity as much as this is hard to beat for the price.

Just started testing the latest version, and I like the way the custom directives are implemented -- simply, and out of the way if you don't need them. My only suggestion would be for it to include any directives already in place on the virtual hosts before this update.

VERYVITO  Just what I needed. Works as advertised, and feels less clunky than Backdrop or other solutions I've tried.

TaskPaper

*****

VERYVITO  TaskPaper is the ToDo list I've been looking for: It actually replaces the pocket-sized notebook I've kept on my desk for years -- and is just as simple to use.

It doesn't do a whole lot (thankfully!), but what it does do, it does great.

VERYVITO  This is one of my favorite utilities, and this looks like a great update. If you use USB or Bluetooth audio output devices (in addition to the built-in audio), you'll wonder why this isn't part of OS X to begin with.

VERYVITO  Seems to work the way Leopard should have, that is. :)
