Menu Master
Sep 12 2009

WARD  I'll be updating to Snow Leopard next week, and I know I'll be leaving Menu Master behind.

Menu Master seems unique in its one-step technique for customizing menu shortcuts (for the applications where it works). OS X System Prefs Keyboard Shortcuts and QuicKeys 4 are possible alternatives, but both are quite tedious.

Has anyone found an effective replacement for Menu Master?

Menu Master
Sep 12 2009

EASER  To a limited ability, you can do some of this with System Preferences Keyboard settings, even on an application-by-application basis. But it depends. I've found that it will not always accept some of the keyboard commands I want to use. And it's a definite pain to have to type in the exact wording of the program's menu item. Any changes made, by the way, appear to take place in the program's plist file in the User's Library Preferences folder. That, at least, has been handy when I've had to wipe my drive clean and reinstall. I keep a backup of all those preferences files.

I tried the Keyboard Maestro record method, but it's too limited. For instance, I wanted to set up a command where a particular keystroke would let me move back and forth between tabs in Path Finder. (I wanted a different key command than what was already in PF.) But I found that what I recorded was not some kind of universal change. It worked only for switching back and forth between the two specific tabs I had originally recorded.

I've also seen people mention Spark, and I've tinkered with that, but I can't find a way to make changes for a single program. In that regard, I've already been using Butler for the same purpose. But those changes are system wide.

So, no, I wish I had something better. I've offered something of a bounty to anyone who can come up with an alternative windowshading program; you might check for that over here:

Maybe if we can find someone who's willing to take on the project under the terms I've proposed, we can get someone to do something like Menu Master as well.

Classic Menu
Sep 12 2009

WARD  It's been nearly two years since Classic Menu 2.8.1 was released, and the developer's site is silent about Snow Leopard. Are there any current Classic Menu users who've tried it on Snow Leopard?

JollysFastVNC
Sep 8 2009
*****

WARD  I used Chicken of the VNC for a long time ... until I started experiencing chronic dropped connections, sometimes after 5 minutes, usually after 15-20 minutes.

My search last December for an alternative led me to JollysFastVNC. What a dramatic improvement! I don't recall a single dropped connection since then.

The few times I've corresponded with Jolly (aka Patrick), he's very quick with a helpful response. For example, I just asked about Snow Leopard compatibility, and he responded with good news ("It is compatible.") before I had time to get a fresh cup of coffee.

iPaste

WARD  Based on my experience with IGG's iBiz, I expect iPaste will be excellent.

WARD  Just discovered this offer. It's too late to compare it to ChronoSync.

WARD  Thanks to Tabula Rasa for the link to Ethan's demo. I decided to buy about half-way thru the demo.
