iClip
Jun 20 2008

ZOIDBERG  I've not heard back from them myself but, since upgrading to Leopard (I didn't upgrade until 10.5.1 FWIW) iClip has not launched once for me. Upon each attempt, I am given an error message that says:

An unexpected problem has occurred. iClip will now quit.

I've tried it again under 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 and still get the same error. I've spoken with other users of the program on a few Mac forums and they've had the same problem, and moved on to other software because the authors were unresponsive to requests (per my comment post, they haven't updated their website in over a year as far as I can see; even their blog is only a test entry from January 2007).

Marvelous software; I absolutely loved it under Tiger and very much miss it under Leopard.

iClip
Jun 20 2008

ZOIDBERG  Absolutely loved this program when I first got it -- made my workday all-around easier. Happily paid the shareware fee.

I'd give it five stars under Tiger and zero under Leopard. It just won't work under Leopard (currently running 10.5.3 as I write this).

What's worse, no updates to the program seem to be forthcoming (the last update was January 2007), and no updates of the company website since around that time. Even their blog is a single entry that just says "TEST" on January 2, 2007.

Oh, well. I'll keep looking for a replacement.

BOBZOZUS  I am troubled by your comments. I am sorry that you are having so much difficulty getting IClips to work under Leopard- and have not had success in getting Inventive Customer support to help you out. Unfortunately, I can not say too much concerning how IClips does or doesn't work in Leopard. However, I have had good success in contacting their customer support. I have had responsive communication with Mr. Mike Larry at email address: info2007@inventive.us. Perhaps if you tell him of your difficulties- and desire to have IClips work since it broke when you upgraded to Leopard- he can help facilitate support concerning your problem. Best of Luck- Bob

ZOIDBERG  Agreed; a drop-down menubar item would be preferred over a floating window (for me, at least; perhaps the option to do one or the other).

ZOIDBERG  FWIW, since upgrading to Leopard (and specifically 10.5.2, which is where I'm starting with Leopard), I've encountered several kernel panics when using Moneydance. Have sent them an email about it, but thought I'd mention it here.

Spotless

ZOIDBERG  The Private list, at least in my experience, often "forgets" what you tell it. I have several backup drives I attach to my machine; each time I attach them, Spotlight (which I love, not knocking Spotlight) would begin to index it, even though they are added to the Private list. After I started using Spotless, it hasn't happened again.

ZOIDBERG  FYI - Does not run under 10.4.6; you get a dialog when you try to launch.

(Can't wait for the revision; great program for basic maintenance!)

BILLY RAY VALENTINE  1.5.4 has been updated for Mac OS X 10.4.6 :) Very sorry for the delay.

ZOIDBERG  Was finally able to download and use -- absolutely brilliant. Sure, I could do most of this via command line or other such animal, but having it all in one place is terrific. I've only used it for a few days but it's a timesaver.

Here's hoping the download link stays live so more can try it out.

ZOIDBERG  Superb! Have been looking for a way to put the date in full view on my menubar, and this does the trick. I can even put the date in weird formats that I use for timesheets (like 2006.02.15 or 060215 for February 15, 2006). Excellent! If I had any suggestion at all, it'd be the ability to move it. I can't seem to use the "command" key move to reposition it, but I have that trouble with all non-Apple menubar applets (menulets?).

ZOIDBERG  Would love to get this, but every time I click on the link I get a 509 Bandwidth Exceeded warning. If you're the author, post your contact info so someone can drop you a line about hosting the file.

BILLY RAY VALENTINE  Seems lately that the bandwidth is running out much quicker.

It's not even half way through the month yet.

:(

Very sorry about that.

We'll be moving to paid hosting with the release of MainMenu (version 2).

Best,

Rakka

JOHANPAVEL  As the previous author noted, I too have been trying

for days to download this very cool app without

success. I have had no trouble with the previous two versions. When I upgraded to 10.4.5 and needed to

download MainMenu 1.5.3, alas the cupboard was bare. This is a great app and I won't mind paying for it

when it comes to that but v1.5.3 is not even accessible.

ZOIDBERG  Excellent little program. I have a few accounts that I check and wanted something transparent (as in how it works, not appearance) and elegant to distinguish what mailbox had what messages. This fits the bill quite perfectly. Great example of a "does what it does and does it great" app.
