BUBBAMAC  Networking issue was a little snitch issue.

Aero issue is due to OS X drivers limitations 3D acceleration support is limited on Tiger with any graphics card and for Intel graphics on all systems. This makes official Aero support impossible.

You may try some hack though. It is possible to force Aero compatibility at the cost of possible 3D problems. In virtual machine properties select Hardware tab and Boot Order. Type in "video.dx_profile=6

The above hack worked on my Late 2006 macbook.

BUBBAMAC  V5 runs fine for me and appears to run faster than V4 and the new Fusion.

The only issue I have is on Win7 (which was running fine on V4), the network icon says that the network is disconnected (it is not) and Aero is not working. The wizard to fix Aero said that Desktop Window Manager wasn't running which is why Aero wasn't working; and the wizard supposedly fixed the issue, but it did not. Wizard says the same thing every time I run it. And Desktop Window Manager service is running and nothing in the Eventlog relating to Aero, Themes, etc.

Speedwise, however, I'm very happy. This is using V5 to boot Win7 off of my Bootcamp partition.

BUBBAMAC  Worked fantastic in Leopard, but having issues in Snow Leopard. Intent is to backup every morning at 3am, but it seems as if every time I connect my machine to the charger, TimeMachine tries to backup. I feel sure this will be corrected soon (I've tried disabling the 'backup when disks connected' and toggling both on/off the 'backup while on battery power' options). Not sure what I'd so without this software since TimeMachine causes my CPU/Memory/Fan to spike everytime it kicks in.

BUBBAMAC  What a great application! I didn't want to move away from RSS Menu, but wanted feed integration with my iPhone, so this application provides just that.

The only thing that might be handy is an option to tier the different feeds into sub-contextual menus (like RSS Menu - sorry, it's just a feature I love) that break out the different feeds.

Other than that, a superb piece of software!

I'm sticking with iTerm. Thanks for continuing development on this great app.

BUBBAMAC  FYI, version 2.4 does not detect the VX Revolution on a Mac Pro (running Leopard). The same mouse works fine on my Macbook running Leopard. The mouse seems to work but cannot be configured via LCC.

Other things are detected and work on LCC 2.4 on Mac Pro (Cordless Comfort Duo keyboard). Yes, I've tried re-installing, rebooted, etc. I've also tried to get the VX Revolution to be detected while the Logitech keyboard is not connected, and that doesn't seem to work either.

Any ideas?

BUBBAMAC  Trying up update my copy of Ubuntu Gusty (7.10) today which hasn't been turned on in a month, and midway through the updates, the VM completely hangs (On Mac Pro dual 2.66. VM configured with 1 processor, 512MB RAM). Fusion is completely dead and requires reboot (force quit doesn't work). After this, I tried re-installing from CD and upon trying to update the default 7.10 installation, the same thing happened. I have found nothing in the Ubuntu forums or on Vmware's forums regarding any issues. Any ideas?

BUBBAMAC  One of my favorite programs!

Only issue in Leopard (isn't an OMC issue, but a Leopard issue), is the stupid nested contextual menus.

Anyone have a workaround for moving everything to the main menu so we don't have to go to "More ->" and wait for the rest of the menu to load?

ABRACODE  The "More" submenu in Finder is very annoying and I don't know of any workaround for that. Apple did

not provide any preference settings to return to previous behavior. Apple will

listen only if many users complain, so I strongly advise you to go to Mac OS

X feedback page:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/

and tell them what you think about it.

BUBBAMAC  Any ideas on why it takes a 200-300 MB WMV file like a minute to load in Quicktime. This is on a c2d Macbook w/ 2GB RAM running Leopard. Took just as long in Tiger. And yes, I have the "open local files immediately" option checked in the preferences and the files are local. I tried using VLC but it didn't do a very good job decoding the files. Any ideas?

BUBBAMAC  Does not respond to support requests. I submitted a bug a year ago regarding the droplet's not obeying passwordless rsa key authentication via sftp. The favorite themselves work fine with passwordless sftp but when saving a favorite to a droplet it doesn't work.

Try it yourself and see:

Create a favorite with sftp as the protocol and do not set the password (you must configure ssh keys without passwords so that you can ssh to the client without passwords). Don't check prompt for password. Connect and verify that you can get in without a password, if not, you should follow these directions:

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152

Then try again.

Now, after it works without a password, create a droplet from this favorite. Tell it to not prompt for password. When you drag something on the droplet, the username isn't populate and the transfer

fails. Even if you tell it to prompt for password (and you leave this blank), it fails. The only way around it is to configure the favorite with a saved password, and save the password in the droplet.

Everytime they release an update, I try the software again, but until this issue gets addressed, I will not buy it.

BUBBAMAC  FYI, this version does not work well with Logitech Control Center 2.2.2. When running the two together, opening Fusion and moving the mouse into the Fusion window causes the on screen display for LCC to come up showing the cap-lock going on and off. Pretty annoying and I feel sure someone at VMware must be using the Logitech crap; if not, time to test it.

PEDRO FARDILHA  Hello.

If your problem is with Logitech mac driver i highly recommend uninstalling it, since it's really bad.

After buying a new Logitech mouse and installing it I had nothing but problems related with their control center.

That included several kernel panics!!!

I decided to try third parties utilities and right now I'm using SteerMouse ( http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19058/steermouse ) without a single problem for more than 10 days.

If it keeps this way I'll buy this great generic driver.

So I'm no so sure if the blame is on the Fusion's side or Logitech one.

BUBBAMAC  This version is much better. Still, if I have Growl setup to make feed updates sticky if idle and leave the computer for 6 hrs or so, if a feed has been updated multiple times (say Slashdot, it was updated every 30 minutes and has a new article, then updated again 30 minutes later with 2 new articles), for each feed update I have multiple sticky windows for each feed when I come back.

Thanks to the author for all the bug fixes in this version!

BUBBAMAC  Hasn't been right for me since 1.8.3, but even then, it wasn't perfect.

Everytime it restarts it thinks all items are new, when in reality, they are not.

I leave the Growl notifications to not be sticky, but go sticky when idle for 30 secs. I come back and my screen is full of notifications; not one for each feed updated, but if feeds were updated multiple times, then I may have several notifications.

Combining this with autosubmit (on sites that support it - this is nice that this is configurable on a per-site basis). Otherwise, this product looks great. I only wish it was available for Windows too!

I guess what I was trying to say was that it would be nice to use the same password database cross-platform and a way to securely sync your data between multiple instances. I know about Roboform but I'm not buying software to do this for my work computer. I guess the keychain integration sort of blows a Windows port of the water.

And yes, Windows does Blow :)

BUBBAMAC  When I moved to the Mac from Linux, the program I missed most was 'qiv'. This thing was SO fast at viewing images, it blew all the other apps away. I have never found a good replacement for qiv on the Mac until NOW. This app rocks. The only addition would be to allow the customization of hotkeys. Other than that, no issues at alL!
