JMTSKILLS Definitely agreed. Just installed 10.6 and it doesn't like nearly as nice as it used to... except the new expose is definitely pretty sweet! Any ETA on the update?

ForeverSave Lite | Nov 1 2008 |
CHRISTEFANO I was prepared to lambast this program for a few reasons but it's actually really fantastic! The description says it's "clever" and that it works by "changing the frontmost application," but both statements are more confusing than they are helpful. Just install it (yes, there's an installer...) and set it up to work with your programs.

ForeverSave Lite | Nov 1 2008 |
TOOL FORCE SOFTWARE Hello CHRISTEFANO, thanks for your review. There are currently two new features / fixes on my to-do list of EverSave: - Backup: EverSave automatically creates backups of your documents so it doesn't overwrite text - Timer fix: EverSave does not interrupt the screen saver when using the timer. Thanks to everybody for giving EverSave a try! Tobias Jordan.

ForeverSave Lite | Jun 15 2009 |
RUBAIYAT Thank you very much Tobias for filling in this gaping hole in OSX and many of Apple's Cocoa apps. :) One comment I got from another user I recommended this to is that it saves on the time interval whether anything has changed or not. Any chance of letting it skip the save instead? | |

AstrologX | Dec 3 2007 |
CHRISTEFANO It seems that charts can't be saved, but I noticed that they can be printed to a PDF. Don't bother printing to paper, though, unless you have a lot of ink to spare. Not bad for for a 1.0 release, but it does need work to keep me as a user. I'm left with the impression that the developer knows this. For instance, Astrolog refers to itself as a "Baby Astrolog" that hasn't grown up yet.

Sharpshooter | Aug 1 2007 |
CHRISTEFANO It's not too often that I replace my own code with another program (I was previously using a Folder Action to rename new screenshots), but Sharpshooter's preview window is just too much fun. 5/5 for everything but features, which I give a 3/5. I could really use format converting options and a Save To button for keeping the Desktop clean.

BatteryViewer | Jun 13 2007 |
CHRISTEFANO This is great. Not many utilities use the corner spaces of the menu bar (to the left of the Apple menu and right of Spotlight) and I like how BatteryViewer does it. There are a lot of configurable features not currently mentioned in the summary so I'll include theme here: BatteryViewer is a fun Preference Pane and background application pair which displays the level of your computer's battery. Generally, it does this by displaying a bar graph (there are other ways that you will discover). The size and location of the graph can be selected. The colour (and transparency) of both when the battery is empty and when it is full can be specified. Battery levels between empty and full will blend the two colours and their transparencies. There is also an option for showing the percentage full as well as the time remaining (until empty or completed charging).

Michael | Jun 13 2007 |
CHRISTEFANO This is an adorable application launcher. It has a slick interface and the items in the launcher are configurable. The application is currently a hefty 9MB and I'm not sure I like the donationware notices, but it's definitely a good thing to see new Mac applications. I've used most of the application launchers out there (and switched back to OS X in part because I missed Quicksilver) and try out new launchers when I see them. Even if a launcher doesn't impress me enough to use it, it still might be just what a friend or client of mine needs. I don't know why some comments raise the question that it might be a virus or trojan, so hopefully my comment will help bury them.

StuffIt Expander 2010 | Jan 11 2007 |

While waiting for the email (which still hasn't arrived), I found that you can download it directly from: ftp://ftp.allume.com/pub/pub/mac/StuffIt/ The current release can be downloaded at: ftp://ftp.allume.com/pub/pub/mac/StuffIt/For_MacOS_10.4.x/StuffItExpander11.0.2E.dmg

StuffIt Expander 2010 | Mar 16 2007 |
I assume they want to spam you with product offers, so I used a disposable dodgeit.com email address for a client of mine. The link led to the same place… asking me for my email address. Maybe they have a blacklist for such disposable email websites, but I wish they would say that because I was confused why I kept having to enter my email address. Have other people had similar experiences?

Path Finder | Dec 5 2006 |
CHRISTEFANO migueld, I hadn't even noticed Path Finder's lack of the Finder-like features you mentioned in your post (I always use column view), but I'm not sure what you mean about the sidebar hiding parent folders. In case you haven't seen this already, you can right-click or control-click on the sidebar item to see its path. Just select the parent folder to open it.

Path Finder | Dec 6 2006 |
MIGUEL Sure, I could always command-click on the titlebar to see the parent folders, the point was that the current implementation does the same mistake as the Finder and that previous versions of PathFinder had it right. The parent folders can be hidden through scrollbars, no need to kill them.

Subliminal Message Pro | Nov 15 2006 |
CHRISTEFANO Messages don't appear when the application is hidden. The only way to "hide" Subliminal Message is by minimizing the main window to the dock. On a different note, Subliminal Message works just fine with VirtueDesktop's workspaces. Thank you for this fantastic program. I'll report if I notice any effects over the next few weeks. http://parahuman.org/journal/

CHRISTEFANO Where is the command history saved to? With Terminal, it's saved in ~/.bash_history, but for the life of me I can't find where CocoaTechTerminal (and iTerm and Path Finder) saves its history. Other than this, it's a fine widget for quick command line tasks.

IPPEI UKAI I think when you 'exit' or close the bash session, the history is updated. I thought the behaviour is same on Terminal.app too.

Shortcuts | May 4 2006 |
ABRACODE I contacted the developer of PathFinder a couple of months ago about making Shortcuts compatible with it (because I knew there will be requests for this). I did not receive any answer so I assume he is not interested. Anyway, the only thing you need to do is to add a context providing script, something like: tell app "PathFinder" to get current selection as alias (I do not use PathFinder so the above script is not the actual working script but illustrates the idea). | |
Mac Light | May 3 2006 |
CHRISTEFANO Mac Light is written in AppleScript and the source is viewable by opening it in Script Editor. What it seems to try to do is move the Spotlight system files to a different location (and thereby disabling Spotlight). For what it's worth, it didn't work for me.
