JEDIK  Latest version seems broken in my MacBook Pro (Leopard 10.5.5): many components are missing from the user interface, like buttons and dividers. As it created a new preferences folder (.gimp-2.6) I don't think the issues are related to program settings...

JEDIK  It's a very nice application: simple but does what's needed. Some suggestions:

- some parts of the program are still in French, making it 100% localized in English would be nice;

- it would be nice if the program saved the windows postions as well as the column widths;

- ability to choose the columns displayed in the main windows by the user, adding 'case/project', for example;

- ability to edit invoices or at least undo some operations like 'cancel'.

I hope the developer keeps this project alive. Thanks for making it free! Kudos!

Fluid
Apr 21 2008
****.

JEDIK  I've tried to use Fluid for a while but run into a couple of problems:

1. Setting 'Accept cookies only from sites you navigate to' does not work, Gmail complains for instance, although it works with Safari;

2. The RSS button does not open the link in the default RSS reader, but in the default browser instead;

3. Showing the current in the Status Bar even when mousing over other links is annoying at least;

4. App crashed when trying to run a Java applet (it works fine in Safari/Camino);

5. Maybe the worst, 'middle-click' on links does NOT open them in another tab like all other browsers do, COMMAND+click works tho;

6. Links that open in a new window aren't redirected to a new tab, i.e. single window mode isn't possible.

Suggestions:

- Allow the user to run Fluid as a normal browser even if s/he doesn't want to create a SSB. It will probably increase your user base and also allow newbies to use it and test its incredible nifty add-ons like the Cover Flow/Clipping plugins;

- Make the 'Mail this link' use the default mail application and not only Mail.app;

- as it's a SSB it would be nice to open RSS feeds in an online service as option, like Camino/Firefox do;

- allow some kind of user CSS like Safari or add some kind of 'ad-blocker' feature.

I don't know if the dev look at MacUpdate so I am sending this to his email asap. Thanks and keep it up! =)

JEDIK  Sorry, but the software isn't that much user friendly and takes ages to load after it's loaded every time it's launched. I just wanted the "old" Tiger "Show All" window... The new one on Leopard just sucks (and it does not saves its config between launches, what sucks even more).

NICOLAS SERIOT  JEDIK: SpotLook is not an attempt to rewrite the Tiger Spotlight interface. SpotLook wants to explore a graphical representation of Spotlight results relative to their date.

Version 1.2 loads much faster, and remembers the controls positions between lanches. If you have ideas to make SpotLook more user-friendly, please tell me.

NEONBLUE2  Leopard's Spotlight can still find files in the Library folders but only if you specify those folders.

Apple changed the way Spotlight works so that it doesn't search the "entire" computer, just everything outside the system folders (which contain thousands of files).

JEDIK  Just got it to work. Wait for a while after you get it running, and you should see the start-up panel. If it does not work, make sure you have your OS setting to U.S. in the International System Preferences: Language, Formats and Input Menu. It seems that's what fixed it for me here.

JEDIK  Actually the download is an experimental native build (no X11) for Intel only! Hoooray!

But it seems that it does not work on Leopard 10.5.2:

- first launch: crash

- second launch: does nothing, no windows, no nothing, just the app icon on the Dock.

JEDIK  Great idea. Almost there, needs a few features to be 'the' (free) choice for media browsing on Mac IMO:

- double click opens in external viewer/editor (option)

- more info for items (maybe a floating window when you mouse over or CONTROL+click)

- more control for media playing (volume, etc)

- and slideshow for pics would be awesome! =)

JEDIK  Very nice, and fast. Some bug reports:

- sometimes the expanded file/folder does not show in the Finder until I restart it (maybe because it's so fast?)

- association to BIN files did not work (I had to set it using the Get Info panel)

As already suggested, it would be nice if there was a preference in order to make it handle additional expanding, like mounting DMG extracted files. Better support for passwords encrypted files would be great also.

Thanks for making it free. =)
