Cocoalicious
Oct 25 2009

ENCRO  If crashing:

Quit Cocoalicious

Delete the following files:

/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/com.scifihifi.Cocoalicious.plist

/Users/your_username/Library/Application\ Support/Cocoalicious.app

Open Keychain.app and delete the 'api.del.icio.us' internet password item.

Re-open Cocoalicious

Re-enter your Delicious UN & PW.

It's working completely fine for me on OS X 10.6.1 since doing the above.

ENCRO  Please see my extensive comments on http://www.macupdate.com/trimmit as these dangers apply equally as well to Xslimmer.

Use an application such as http://www.macupdate.com/codesign-checker to test if the application is signed before making changes.

These apps can cause major problems for code signed applications that access the keychain and it is in your best interest to avoid using them to modify code signed binaries.

Unsigned binaries are fine to experiment with for size reduction etc.

ENCRO  To test an application signature (Mail.app in this context):

codesign -vv /Applications/Mail.app

If it's good you should get the following:

/Applications/Mail.app: valid on disk

/Applications/Mail.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement

If it is broken you will get the following:

/Applications/Mail.app: code or signature modified

Applications with a broken signature will be denied from reading from the keychain.

ENCRO  Echoing E_Commerce's words and further:

-The syncing is very intermittent.

-The back button behaviour is often random and detached from the view.

-The UI is slow and laggy especially in the webkit views.

-The target area for the disclosure triangles on the left is too large.

-Needs 'Mark as Unread' to allow you you to come back to an important synced article on the desktop (Add it to the paid version as an incentive to upgrade).

-The favourite button gives no feedback and you question whether the article was even added.

-Options: Disable landscape rotation.

-Options: Better Sorting Options

ENCRO  You should make this the actual version and provide the Felt Version as an option. After playing with WillowPE it looks pretty cool and can do quite a bit. I can see you are trying to make it fun and it shines through with the playful language all over the website but I feel people would take it more seriously if this were the actual version in the spotlight.

What would be really awesome is the addition of a step sequence that allowed keyboard control and inline sending of variables, the pasteboard and macros similar to how AutoIT works on the PC which I use heavily in a business environment (It can do much more than this but there is still no Mac version or equivalent yet).

eg: A webform sequence

Send("{"!TAB"}") ;Send Command Tab to switch back to browser from willow.

Send("{$EMAIL}") ;Paste the current $email variable.

Send("{TAB 2}") ;Send Tab Sequence Twice.

Send("{@HOUR}")

Send("{DOWN 3}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("a random string of words")

Send("{TAB}")

or even:

Send($name & "{SPACE}" & $department & "{SPACE}" & "|" & "{SPACE}" & @Mon & "-" & @MDay & "{SPACE}" & "|" & "{SPACE}" & @Hour & ":" & @Min & "{SPACE}" & "|" & "{SPACE}")

ANONYMOUS  Hey thanks for you comment.

About the felt interface being the option, you're completely correct and I'm redoing the website and documentation from 10th of May to show exactly that. Haven't decided yet how the best way to re-badge them though. As an aside any serial purchased for either works on the other. So if you've purchased the felt version then feel free to use PE instead.

Thanks for the link to AutoIt, I will definitely check it out. We have another little tool called MadRuby that allows you to create macros like how you describe. I understand you have found something to fit your needs but if you're interested you can check it out and let me know where you think it needs improvement, there'd be a free license in it for you. The MacUpdate URL for it is:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30856

Thanks again,

Joe

ENCRO  Is it really that hard?

Looking at the screenshot, you can see a list of the host files of which only 1 can be active on the system (selected by using the tick button). By default there will usually only be a single default hosts file in /etc (called hosts). To add a new configuration click the plus button, to remove it click the remove button. The save button obviously saves changes to the hosts config. So basically the app allows you to rapidly swap between configurations on the fly.

If you don't know what a hosts file is try searching in your favourite search engine for 'unix hosts file'. It's pretty much a file that tells your computer which IP address is associated with what URL. You can use it to re-direct addresses and block advertisements at the system level. If you are interested in that then search for 'ad blocking hosts file' instead :)

The developer nor I should not have to hold your hand and spoon feed you information. If you want to learn, you can (and will).

ENCRO  The description of what this iRemove Applescript does is totally inaccurate.

.DS_Store files are created by the Finder and store custom attributes of a folder such as the position and size of the window and icons and also the choice of a background image. They also contain Spotlight Comments and other metadata.

Where the problem lies with .DS_Store files is that they are only used by the Finder, pollute folders and network shares with potential security risks. The Finder will create a .DS_Store file in every folder that you visit even if you haven't made custom changes.

To disable .DS_Store File Creation on Network Shares use the following command in Terminal.app:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

Trimmit!
Feb 10 2008

ENCRO  Be aware that apps like Trimmit can break code signed applications such as Mail.app on 10.5 if the strip debug symbols option is enabled. This is why it is a good thing to have the backup option enabled.

I can manage to consistently break Mail.app and cause it to popup the password window. It will then never remember the password, attempt to store or attempt to retrieve it from the keychain *if the Application code signature is invalid*.

In testing I've tried removing many things from Mail.app such as language files, compressing images, removing redundant unnecessary files and stripping the redundant PowerPC binary and various other things from the bundle. None of this seems to damage Mail.app's code signature.

How do you break Mail.app you ask?

By stripping the debug symbols from Mail.app using one of many app trimming applications such as Trimmit. Since Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard introduced Code Signing and Apple Mail is code signed my guess is that because the bundle is changed and the code signature is then broken and invalid Apple Mail is then treated as an untrusted application and is refused access to the keychain by SecurityServer.

According to

http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Security/RN-CodeSigning/index.html

applications should trigger a popup confirmation to allow the Application to update the keychain but it appears that Mail.app does not do this and SecurityServer suppresses the dialog as the code signature is invalid.

Filed as Apple Bug ID #5734181

Opening Console.app and checking secure.log shows many entries from SecurityServer to advise:

Feb 10 23:04:02 macbookpro com.apple.SecurityServer[20]: suppressing keychain prompt for invalidly signed client /Applications/Mail.app(7514)

Feb 10 23:04:32: --- last message repeated 16 times ---

If you are getting these messages, this wll mean you may need to restore from a backup version of Mail.app from storage, time machine or another computer. If you re-install the app from the original 10.5 Installer CD you may also need to run the 10.5.1 installer and Security Update to ensure that Mail.app is up to date.

ENCRO  Monolingual 1.3.8 will break Mail.app on Leopard and possibly other code signed applications.

ENCRO  I love this drum app, its quick to get a useable beat and very flexible.

iDrum is now at Version 1.5 and is now under the izotope banner:

http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/idrum/

No Release notes seem to be listed so I assume its mainly a rebranding only. I hope izotope fix the unreferenced sample bug after saving and reloading the kit soon that is still in this version. There also really needs to be a way of quickly selecting random drums for the kit also.

Previous Release History:

Changes in 1.1.1:

Fixed #398 Endianness bug in Copy Protection library manifests itself on Intel-based macs.

Changes in 1.1:

Universal Binary support.

Fixed #190 Missing localization resources for languages other than English

Changes in 1.0.9:

Fixed #168 Bounce to AIFF is now working correctly when 'bounce each channel to separate file' is selected.

Changes in 1.0.8:

Fixed #151 Clicking slave to host in iDrum.app no longer causes 'Machine gun' effect.

Fixed #132 Song mode now loops correctly in GarageBand and Logic

Changes in 1.0.7:

Changed: When in song mode and not slaving to host (or in standalone), iDrum will now continue playing from the last stop position. This makes it easier to edit songs.

Fixed: #116 Double-clicking on an iDrum file would not open iDrum.app properly.

ENCRO  Please, Please add the ability to trigger an audio sample from a file. I use a sample of an alarm sound (from a patented hardware alarm) that I would rather not include in the iTunes database. Cheers :)

Alarm Clock Pro
Sep 9 2005
****½

ENCRO  I'm pleased to say that this is a great application. It's extremely flexible and the address book importing and snooze features are both wonderful additions in Alarm Clock Pro. The developer is friendly and responsive with regards to feature requests and bugfixes. A very worthwhile purchase which is updated frequently.

MPlayer
Jul 5 2005

ENCRO  I find that both applications complement each other quite well. VLC on OS X has come quite a long way in the last 2 years and while it seems progress on MPlayer isn't quite as fast it is still a very useful program. I am personally very proud of the developers who are all creating applications like this that provide solutions for the codecs that QuickTime doesn't provide. kudos.

ENCRO  I can't believe you are all complaining about bloat! Speed Download 3 is feature packed and contains many useful features that people do use. It's interded to be the ultimate download manager.

If you don't want or need this then you are a prime candidate for the lightweight download facilities provided in Safari/Camino/Firefox etc.

Speed Download
Mar 5 2005

ENCRO  Thanks for the reply but I'm aware of how Growl works. I believe it has more to do with the way you have implemented the Growl.framework more-so than user error as there are many applications that correctly register with tickets. We are all experiencing problems with SD3 using Growl to display notifications so it's definitely not due to stupidity.

I now have it working by installing the SD3 ticket manually from the download provided in the FAQ (http://www.yazsoft.com/faq.html#q21) Thankyou, but it still needs to be resolved properly which I'm sure you are very aware of.

When I first posted this comment there was nothing in your FAQ on Growl. Then the FAQ first update incorrectly posted regarding install/reinstall. I was highly skeptical and wasted a lot of time and getting frustrated trying to troubleshoot. This didn't fix anything so I cleaned up and put a fresh copy of pre-0.7 svn trunk code and everything is working fantastic!

Speed Download
Mar 5 2005
****½

ENCRO  My needs for SD3 is simple, I like being able to stop and resume a download later. On dialup this is brilliant for getting larger files and preventing corruption when the modem hangs. Being on dialup I don't really notice much difference in speed until I change the priority to high. This must be done on each individual download, unfortunately it can't be set in the preferences.

I'm also not so keen on the new dock displays regression, they are not as clear as the circle version in SD2.

Well anyway I'm so glad on irc I was talked out of posting a tourettes message like the one below. The problem with Growl not functioning with SD3.0.1 has been resolved with the installation of a manual ticket by simply following Yazsoft's updated growl instructions in the faq. Why this is necessary I'm unsure but hopefully it will automatically register a ticket in the future just like all the other apps do :) It's great to see Yazsoft taking the time to respond to our concerns in the comments even though the original faq instructions were wrong. Growl is such a wonderful thing!

Butler
Feb 24 2005

ENCRO  Thankfully b22 has fixed the excruciating delayed search from the last 4 versions. I was considering removing Butler from my login items because it had basically become almost unusable for its main task. I don't need to do that now as this version is much improved!!!

I really appreciate the work your doing Peter and I'm glad I donated :) Butler is a fantastic utility and Witch is also very handy.

ENCRO  Who cares if Dave is rude?

It's his own RSS reader, he writes it for himself and you just happen to be lucky enough that he provided it for you to download also.

He has been rude to me in the past and deleted one of my post but it doesn't matter in the end. I'm happy to use his app because it works very well (until I can write my own of course ;-) . Bitching about Dave won't change anything as that is simply how he behaves. You can't get along with everyone.

Rate the app on it's merit alone.

Camino ExtraPrefs
Oct 23 2004

ENCRO  This utility provide some useful features to easily alter the values of user.js and userContent.css etc. Well done!

but...

It is completely unacceptable that CEP does not ask you to Quit your Browser when installing the .prefPane!!! Forcing something without a warning is very bad behaviour.

...which also begs the questions why can it not be a real prefPane rather than an embedded application?

ENCRO  Yes, it does overide the OS X supplied version of Apache but installs itself to /Library/Apache2. You previous installation of Apache isn't removed. Apache2 has it's own .prefPane to handle Start/Stop etc so you can't use the OS X Sharing panel setting to control your webserver anymore.

ENCRO  This is coming along great but I would really appreciate either a 'Mark as Unread' or some other way to flag a RSS post in the Menu & Contextual Menu.

The NSProgressIndicator seems to have sadly disappeared from the bottom of the window in 0.22. I'm not sure if it was intentional or an accident though.

Skype
Sep 3 2004

ENCRO  G4 in Flight:

You couldn't be more further from the truth if you tried and sadly some will read your comment and think that VoIP's scope is limited.

Skype (and Firefly www.firefly.com.au) both provide services that are free (n charge) for you to call between users and both VoIP providers also allow connection to landline and mobile for a small fee (which is still less than most telecommunication providers charge anyway). Soon people will be able to call your VoIP number with a standard phone (Firefly is about to release a new client and hopefully Skype have a similar plan) and then usage will take off at a phenominal rate.

You can buy VoIP headsets (wired and wireless) and handheld phones if you don't want to use your computer's microphone and speaker. Think about what you are really saying rather than coming here with nothing useful to say.

The changes in the display are nice and the countdown timer on iTunes is brilliant also.

Reconnect works brilliant and much faster.

I love that the interface has been simplified and ascpt editing has been passed out to script editor as the prefpane window was too small to edit scripts effectively.

I can't wait till I get a P900!

ENCRO  I really love Camino. I keep switching back to it frequently after trying the latest Safari releases. The latest nightly builds startup faster than Safari and seem to be rendering pages much quicker also now that Camino is using the latest Mozilla branches. The Bookmarks panel need s more work to make it more effecient, I hate trying to organize them with the browser when I have been lazy and just dragged the URL's into the toolbar.

ENCRO  Great job Paul! I haven't played with this since the beta's. Lots of improvements, much cleaner and efficient. I love the additions of the effects. wipe from left in the right hand corner looks ace and the zoom effect is also tops. It should look great alongside the visual improvements of Panther. Using some of the unicode characters give the overlay a bit of spark, not to mention adding images :-)

ENCRO  In response to what does setfile and sudo do:

sudo is the abbreviation of 'superuser do'. It allows you to execute things that are yes 'not necessarily secure'. Of course you should know what your doing as that is what the terminal is for.

setfile is a command to alter file attributes, including the visible status. There was no need to go into a misguided freak out now was there?
