GENGHISCOHEN  Well, I'm another "victim" of Microsoft's moronic installer.

Instated of reinstalling Office and rerunning all the g__d___ updates, has anyone had any luck using Pacifist to install the update?

****.

GENGHISCOHEN  Well, it's improved. It went from downloading nothing and telling me they had all succeeded, to downloading 5 out of 8 and still telling me that all 8 had succeeded.

It's not perfect yet, but it is making progress.

TESSERACT SOFTWARE  Could you tell me which URL's specifically were reported to succeed but in fact failed so that I may try to duplicate the problem and find a solution? You can reply to this message or email me at tesseractsoftware[at]gmail[dot]com.

Default Folder X

GENGHISCOHEN  Some handy features in this utility, but hardly enough to be worth $35.

If the developer dropped his price to about $5, then it would be a reasonable value.

FOULGER  Cheapskate! If you only have $5 to spend, you should be owning a PC not a Macintosh. Try to develop a sophisticated Preference Pane like this and see if you could sell it for $5 and keep continually updating it and providing fast E-Mail response. I doubt it!

NEUTRALZONE  I am a user of Default Folder since the OS 9 days. The feature set of Default Folder is very deep now, especially compared to the early days, and compared to other similar utilities. You can't get software anywhere near $5 that does what Default Folder does. If your hourly time is worth anything, $35 isn't much because Default Folder can save you many hours of navigation over the course of a year. A Mac without it just feels wrong.

CREATIVEGUY  If you think this software is worth only $5, then you obviously have never even tried it!

This is the first app I install on any new machine since back in the early OS9 days, and it's one of the ONLY apps I install every update for. Even the upgrade fee (the first time I've ever had to pay one, by the way) is worth the $$$ for this app!

FARIBORZ  What you say is that the developer and his family should live on peanuts from now on! How do you expect a brilliant brain that has brought such a unique application to our Mac community run only on peanuts?! Come on! Default Folder is a nifty program that has been a veteran for so many long years and has proved to be one of the best utilities ever around. It surely deserves more than a cheap $5.00 tag!

BLULOO  You are out of your mind. This app adds VERY useful features to OS X. Granted, it would be nice if Apple had this built in, but it's indispensable.

GENGHISCOHEN  And their beta page ALSO lists 4.1.10 as the latest version.

Can anyone confirm that the download link does give you a download of version 4.2?

GENGHISCOHEN  Is someone playing a joke on MacUpdate? XCode 1.2 has been out for more than 2 months now (release date 3-17-04).

Any reviews/comments that are dated 5-25 must be taken as uninformed.

JKISH2  If it's been out for so long, why am I still stuck at Xcode 1.1? For some reason, it still hasn't shown up in my Software Update window nor do I really want to download all the segmented image files for the whole CD. Was there ever an update posted on ADC? If so, where can we find it?

YAZARIM  I did not (and will not) write any comment or review, but probably *you* are badly informed. I saw this software update this morning, not one minute before, and since then I have spent my life downloading 21 files, each of about 30 MB. Could I have written a review *before* knowing that the update was available? Do you receive informations from angels? Really lucky...

PARTWAYTHERE  The files on the ftp server are dated April 21st. I installed Xcode 1.0 from CD earlier this month, and Software Update alerted me to the 1.1 Update.

To those having trouble downloading the segments, don't try to do more than one at a time. If you have connection problems, try another site. If you get a piece or few then can't get more, log out then back in. I believe the developer site generates new passwords every 15 minutes.

I got the segments in about half an hour on a fairly fast connection. But I haven't figured out how to join them. The READ ME .pdf file speaks only of a single image file. No luck yet with Disk Utility, Toast 5/6, or Stuffit Expander. Could someone tell me what works?

RORY  I remember I recently saw JigSaw 1.2 come out on the MacUpdate list. the description said, "Join segmented files." Try searching for it.

ANONYMOUS  PartWayThere - Expand only the binary with the shortest name to get an image file. Mount that image. It will get all it needs from the other binary segments.

Apple Security Update
Jul 23 2003

GENGHISCOHEN  Read the description - it fixes a security flaw in Workgroup Manager, which is a SERVER program.

Don't believe me? Then try and install it on OS X 10.2.6 client. It will tell you that none of your drives meet the requirements.
