FREDDUCKER  It's great, but it can't resize an image and increase the size? (tried a folder of 48x48 jpg icons to 56x56 and the output was still 48x48)  
(Version 1.4.2)

FREDDUCKER  The best I've found so far.  
(Version 0.8.1)

FREDDUCKER  I tried it and it didn't seem to work. Lyrics that are on the Lyrics wiki website didn't upload on iTunes.

There was no folder "iTunes" in Library, I created one. There was no "Scripts" folder, I created one too.

Something seems to be missing. I'll be glad if I can help.

FREDDUCKER  Hey Andrew

I'm also looking for a contextual menu program that changes selected text into upper-lower-titlecase, have you found one?  
(Version 1.1)

FREDDUCKER  Any way to have it generate WPA keys?  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  Does it import photos from an ipod?  
(Version 3.23)

FREDDUCKER  I've been using it for a long time, very good app. But I can't understand why there isn't a feature to import photos from an iPod? It seems odd.  
(Version 1.1.2)

FREDDUCKER  Can't get it to import photos. I click on the "photo" button on top right corner but it doesn't seem to do anything (or maybeit's not supposed to do anything?) Not a single photo will show in the lists.  
(Version 1.7)

FREDDUCKER  Absolutely...

You know what was wrong? I had my iPod plugged in. I'm really sorry for blaming it on the program, but you'd think by now Apple tools can function without bugs... but not!

SOLVED... sorry again.  
(Version 1.51)

FREDDUCKER  Application not responding... force quitting wont work... application not responding... etc (under 10.4.11)  
(Version 1.51)

FREDDUCKER  I get them when i import files into imovie. They are bad. I hate blocks. Waste of time. No one can explain how to get rid of them, too...  
(Version 1.5.2)

FREDDUCKER  Doesn't work on 10.4... nope. Can't launch it.  
(Version 2.0.2)

FREDDUCKER  This application doesn't do anything I find useful.

I thought it would let me paste in a few rapidshare links and then do all the dirty job of downloading and waiting to download the next file, but it's not that at all (is there an app that does that?)

No what it does is, it just launch firefox with the googled results of what you typed.

Seriously, people aren't that lazy that they can't google anymore.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  Dead link...  
(Version 1.2)

FREDDUCKER  Hey! I'm using the app without a problem, but a friend cannot use it for the same "Invalid API key" problem... kinda strange, can the developer post an update about this issue many people seem to have?  
(Version 1.3)

FREDDUCKER  Dead link!  
(Version 1.3)

FREDDUCKER  I have to agree with Toomis on one thing, which is the fact that it feels safer to be able to try an app from the disk image before installing it. Because sometimes you're gonna trash it right away because you notice the app is junk from the first time you try it. But I also understand that some people find it unacceptable to leave a comment based on that... it's not an issue worth fighting for, but maybe somehow it shows something about the app's CPU and disk space requirements?  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  Why is it only for Leopard computers? I thought it was a program for taking quick notes? Oh, well, too bad. Good luck.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  It doesn't launch.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  "The disk image you are trying to open may be damaged and may damage your system"

(Version 1.1.8)

FREDDUCKER  I'm having a problem where the download bars don't display properly (I don't have the end of the line where the "pause" or "reveal" buttons are, the progress bar just seems to be several screens large). I have no clue why it does that, am I the only person to have this problem?  
(Version 1.34)

FREDDUCKER  Thank you for fixing the issue on os x 4.11 with QuickFill.

I believe the QuickFill option would work a lot faster if one didn't have to chose between Amazon US/Amazon FR/Amazon DE... because in the end it's gonna be a list and you'll have to search through it to find the correct version you want to add OR it's gonna have no results and you have to change the database and search one more time... whereas if all the databases were searched at the same time then you'd know when to give up when you have no results.

The "fetching data for book - please be patient_ sometimes stays stuck for more than 1 minute which seemed odd to me.

I'm using it these days and I'll let you know when I have more to say - great app anyways!!  
(Version 3.2.1)

FREDDUCKER  The idea is exciting, if I understand correctly it helps sort out your books with an interface that has some of the same strenghts iTunes has (cover artwork fetched online, as well as infos, etc)

Unfortunately it kept crashing everytime I tried going online to gather data.

OX x 4.11 on PowerBook G4 512.  
(Version 3.2)

FREDDUCKER  This is very close to being pure effing bliss! I had been hoping for something like that for a while, and I'm really glad it now exists. BUT it's far from being perfect for the following reasons:

-i would have loved a fully-fledged application, not a flash/director/whatever application with a crappy icon

-the window of the application is sometimes "transparent", i.e. you will be in finder with the app window right behind the folder window you're looking at, and clicking inside the finder window will add notes on the app's music sheet window behind it (??)

-it consumes a lot of CPU for an app that used to work on a Super Nintendo (and in a fuller version on nintendo than here!) (maybe making it a non-director app would solve that?)

-if you're gonna run this kind of program on a computer, maybe the best idea of them all would be to add a feature that couldn't have been available on a SNES cartridge: the Save function (or Export), you know, so you can send it to a friend, create a file, not just save it within the application where you only can enjoy it

-exporting sheet music or saving the project to be able to have multiple projects at the same time and go back to rework them would definitely be a plus as well

-maybe some shortcuts would be nice? Usually the space bar plays and stops on mac computers, and I think it wouldn't hurt to add this as well.

That said, I believe the programmer's only wish was to bring the music composer from MP onto the Mac at any cost, which they did, and at least the app doesn't crash and does what you can expect from it. Adding the little modifications stated above, though, would rank it among the best freeware apps of the mac for creative (and retarded) mac people like me.  
(Version 2.0)

FREDDUCKER  I don't think this app is going to be of much help for anyone who looks for music using the internet on a daily basis. It doesn't bring anything new to the world (especially not an application icon), and does nothing but automate launching your browser and pasting in google the name of the song you're searching for, and adding to the search field some mumbo-jumbo - probably in order to limit the results to music files, but doing so only increases the chances of the results being wrong or unrelated.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  So I got confused right here... did you say it worked on Tiger or not?

Cause it sure doesn't where I'm at. Keep us updated here on MU! That app looks pretty nifty from the distance. Thank you very much.  
(Version 2.0)

FREDDUCKER  For anyone who comes from OS 9 and has used disk surveyor in the past, this app is a bit confusing graphically (only files are displayed graphically, and not folders sadly). I have also used an app called Disk Sweeper which I thought was more intuitive, and Grand Perspective which I thought was faster to load and used less CPU.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  I give up after 5 tries and almost an hour and a half... and I had just ONE encrypted mp3 to convert! It's obvious that for a lot of people this program crashes or stops working half-way through. The same happened for me. While some of the steps work fine, it's a real pain to have to restart the whole process (for example when you have gotten as far as copying the tracks onto a cd-rw and the program stalls, you'll have to redo everything from the beginning).

This program could be good if you could chose what step to proceed to (1-gathering files, 2-burning them and most important 3-ripping them) without having to wait or restart over. And if it didn't crash or stall without giving you a reason.  
(Version 3.0)

FREDDUCKER  The link seems to be down! Help!  
(Version 1.5)

FREDDUCKER  I confirm what the previous poster said, it quits before it even starts up on OS X 4.11. How can they launch something without having a couple people test it first? Waste of time.  
(Version 1.16b3)

FREDDUCKER  This is by far the ugliest application on Mac OS X I've ever seen. It should be given a prize just for that. Even the app's icon is absolutely atrocious. And they're asking 7 dollars for a sudoku game? It doesn't have graphics, or an interface, it's not even convenient to use. Go to online website websudoku instead...  
(Version 1.0.1)

FREDDUCKER  Dead link it seems... Please correct this!  
(Version 2.0)

FREDDUCKER  I don't understand why developers over at Adium spend time working on this kind of thing while the "normal" version of Adium still doesn't support webcam! I don't think there should be anything else on their minds right now... Not having a decent, multi-protocol (MSN, AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, ICQ, Live, Gtalk, MySpace...) program on mac that also supports webcams is the only thing what makes me feel limited today as a mac owner. Besides, getting portable versions of apps isn't exactly something I long for all day or have any use for. I'm sorry if this comment hurts someone's feelings, or if I come out as annoying, but that's how I feel.  
(Version 1.3r4.0)

FREDDUCKER  Why doesn't it work the other way around, from mp4 to asf (for example)?  
(Version 1.3.5)

FREDDUCKER  Super programme! Un dictionnaire manque cruellement cependant (J'ai la version en anglais de Apple Dictionary mais pas la version francaise).

Great app! It lacks a dictionary though, for anyone whose installed Apple Dictionary is the English version one.  
(Version 0.8)

FREDDUCKER  Well, I think you miss the point. Nobody in the world speaks French perfectly, especially not the French! It is a language that has so many difficulties and pitfalls, that even most French people don't speak it perfectly and sometimes cannot be sure of which gender a rarely used word belongs to. This program is aimed at French people, yes, maybe! And that's why it's extremely useful. You would rather have to question, why are 99 percent of the WWW's websites in English, while we still live in a world where English isn't everybody's mother tongue. There are tons of websites online that can help you with learning the basics of any language, but as usual with internet knowledge it is either limited, or remains on the surface of things. For once a programs addresses unknown issues and difficulties that most people don't care or don't know about.  
(Version 0.8)

FREDDUCKER  Not too bad.

Don't expect to use it fully in a free trial mode, this demo version will watermark anything the program creates.

I'd say it might be worth paying for it if you need to work on a lot of pictures all the time, but if it's something you need to do once a year the fact that it has shareware restrictions with be a no-go (and if that is your situation you could consider using ImageWell).

It's otherwise very stable and quite easy of use, with an intuitive and interface that does the job pretty well.  
(Version 1.2.9b2)

FREDDUCKER  It does a great job for cropping pictures. At least there's an option so that your pictures don't come out all squeezed, and the free trial lets you do what you need to see the program with no restrictions.

I had thumbnails to create, and I'm really happy I found it, it should be given consideration. Great app.  
(Version 3.5.3)

FREDDUCKER  This is incredibly bad... you have no idea what is going to happen, where anything will be saved, what's gonna happen to your pictures or whether or not the original files will be crushed.

Stay away from this program!!  
(Version 1.98)

FREDDUCKER  It seems to work fine most of the time but it's got a personality of its own... sometimes it will freeze for no reason and be quite hard to wake up! I usually launch or delaunch the dashboard or click repeatedly on the little (i) info button to make it work again but it's not supposed to slow down or stop working I guess. Maybe because it doesn't like the song? Or RAM shortage (I have 512)? Or connection problem? Or I skipped songs too fast? Still the best way to get lyrics and artworks I've seen so far, just needs to run a little smoother.  
(Version 3.1.10)

FREDDUCKER  The drag and drop feature didn't work when dragging finder search results onto the app window... which is the thing i was trying to do.  
(Version 1.2.1)

FREDDUCKER  I'm not crazy about it because the drag and drop function doesn't seem to work properly on my computer... whenever I drag files I want renamed, the program just ignores it and opens a standard "Open File" window with the desktop files sorted alphabetically, and the files I dragged are nowhere to be found... if you quit cancel the program just quits (!)... annoying.  
(Version 1.1)

FREDDUCKER  Dead link!   
(Version 2.0.1)

FREDDUCKER  To me it's really the best but be careful when you resize using the "Width and Height" option since it might squeeze your pictures to resize them. You should never overwrite or delete without checking the results anyways.  
(Version 2.1.2)

FREDDUCKER  It's dead links!  
(Version 1.0.2)

FREDDUCKER  Dead links!  
(Version 0.8)

FREDDUCKER  How is this supposed to work? I have no idea what program to launch first and how to configurate... and there is no tutorial or text file for help of course... right.  
(Version 1.0.3)

FREDDUCKER  It wouldn't be too bad if the application remembered the previous settings set by the user... The "640 pixels" default isn't gonna satisfy everyone.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  Does the job! But eh... no drag and drop? Eh? Also, it doesn't say what the level of quality of the resized JPEG file is.

Ugly application icon, let me know if I can make you one.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  The screen copy looks great! Too bad the program can't be found anywhere online... Dead link!  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  Supposedly widgets are here to make simple actions, and make one's life simpler by not having to download and run a stand-alone application to do small chores... so I believe using them should be intuitive and easy. I will read the tutorial and learn to use it, but I think my comments still make a point.  
(Version 1.1)

FREDDUCKER  Hello

So please explain how one can drop something onto a widget, since the desktop is, by definition, greyed out and unusable when the dashboard is on...  
(Version 1.1)

FREDDUCKER  It works great! From what I understand you don't have a "save" option that overwrites the existing file you were cropping, so you might have to click "replace" a lot, but besides from that I liked it! Oh and i thought it would be nice to be able to open a lot of image files at once and go through them faster.   
(Version 2.2.4)

FREDDUCKER  I didnt find it convenient.

I don't want fixed frame size, or fixed width, or fixed height. I just want to drag a selection in an image, then crop it and save it that way. This doesnt allow you to decide how you want to crop your photo, unless you want the cropping pre-defined by the makers of the program... Very useful if you're cropping 200 of the same photo. Besides, no square appears when trying to draw the crop zine over the image, just a weird-looking cursor of a hand giving you the finger.  
(Version 1.5.1)

FREDDUCKER  Not very easy to work through interface... I wish the zone to crop was just draggable, instead of it being pre-defined. It has to be a zone of the same size for all images! This isn't very useful.  
(Version 1.3)

FREDDUCKER  So what's the point in putting up for download a half-baked program? Some people like me clicked the link because they needed something to download and install and be sure they could use it as an alarm clock and actually wake up! Not to go through the hassle of downloading, installing, trying to figure out and then "oh bad luck you can't try all the features yet and have to be beta testers for me" NO! people want to download a program that is fully functional, set it up and then go to sleep and be sure it'll wake them up (or anything else). Please include in the description of the program that it isn't complete!  
(Version 1.1b5)

FREDDUCKER  I launched it. It said "need to download new version" so I let it do. Then it said "new version downloaded please relaunch application".

I launched it. It said "need to download new version" so I let it do. Then it said "new version downloaded please relaunch application".

I launched it. It said "need to download new version" so I let it do. Then it said "new version downloaded please relaunch application". etc.  
(Version 1.1)

FREDDUCKER  I don't understand why half the commands in the main window are greyed out and I cannot modify them - for example the "alert sound" menu is greyed out and cannot be modified, but also the "do script" - "speak message" and "wake up computer" commands are totally greyed out and cant be clicked on and off.

Don't download this unless it's not an important appointment you have to go to, or you can spare time to read the help files for a program which should be intuitive and easy to use!  
(Version 1.1b5)

FREDDUCKER  A simple way to get rid of it: With the program called "Onyx" tick the box to securely delete what's in the trash. Put anything remotely "monitorer" in the trash. Click on "apply" in Onyx. There you go.  
(Version 1.5.1)

FREDDUCKER  I downloaded Monitorer, and it didn't work properly.

All the log files I have opened showed me that the files were saved AS IF I

had set the wrong keyboard settings for example if I type in an email: "ask him

what he means" Monitorer recorded: "qsk hi, zhqt he ,eqns". See the problem?

It's a real pain.

Of course my email to them returned to sender with a "failure notice".

Lame.  
(Version 1.5.1)

FREDDUCKER  So... It wasn't recognized as an app at all. Just a blank rectangle for an icon. Double-clicked on it, nothing. Sorry...  
(Version 3.3.1)

FREDDUCKER  Hello - The version only runs for X version 10.3.9 (as read from the "read me" file... Still no good stuffing program for 10.2 or 10.1 to be found... shame.  
(Version 2.0.2)

FREDDUCKER  The developpers seem to know something about humor, this shows in the "about" and "how to" windows, and in some menus, but they sure can't come up with a game that's fun to play.

I've spent several dozens of minutes trying to understand how to play it, or trying to understand what was the point to it, and each time I ended up wanting to give it all up. I ended up simply giving it up, after trying to finish level 1 for about an hour. Very annoying and complicated.  
(Version 1.0)

FREDDUCKER  For the classic and OS9 version please see this link: http://www.lemkesoft.org/files/cadintosh/cad55frclassic.sit  
(Version 5.5)

FREDDUCKER  This app plays mp3s very well, and the interface is easy to handle and simple to use. Nevertheless, I have deleted it because even although it takes up less RAM space than iTunes, it will convert every file played to the Destiny format... Let's say you want to read one of your mp3s with quicktime after it was played by Destiny, and since it was attributed to Destiny you won't be able to do that. Nothing in the preferences board disables that and I find this pretty sad they won't ask you if you want to attribute your files to the program, they'll just do it without asking.  
(Version 1.4.1)
