JSTRAIT  Did EXACTLY what I needed:

Enabled the use of a password for waking from sleep ONLY.

I use a MBP from home 70% of the time and the occasions when I really need security are when I'm away. When I am, I am always closing the MBP which puts it to sleep, this will automatically guard me from forgetting to set the "Require password to wake from sleep or screensaver" feature. I leave this setting off because when I work from home I use a screensaver and entering my password 15 times a day would drive me nuts.

BTW- remember to add this program to your account's 'login items'.

Thanks for giving me the simple feature I NEEDED!

Cheers

JSTRAIT  Thanks! I'll give that a try. Anything is better than nothing even though my PC friends/colleagues should really all have anti-virus software anyway...

JSTRAIT  Updated to 11.0 when renewing subscription and ALL applications including finder have ground to a near STANDSTILL! I turned off auto protect and anything not related to outgoing email and got the same thing.

Then I ran the UNINSTALL program in the Symantec folder and everything is running faster than it ever has before.

Now I need to find some other APP to protect my hapless PC using clients. Hopefully I can find one that doesn't grind everything to a halt.

Sorry I wasted my money on NAV. again...

JSTRAIT  After demo-ing several of these slideshow apps I have definitely found this to be the best one. Great transitions, ton's of options and controls. Smooth and fast!

And it's practically free!!

JSTRAIT  Transitions limited to full-frame and even then don't work. Otherwise works great, and it's free...

JSTRAIT  Can't beat the price. Good well written app. Missing basic transition options though. Just a simple 'cross-fade' would be nice.

JSTRAIT  Download link is now invalid.

This worked fine for me until it reverted to a normal folder. Not sure what happened.

JSTRAIT  The developers at "Compost" were kind enough to write me a program to do this.

Here's the script if anyones interested (just below text into script editor and save as an application.) (script is between the lines)

----------------------

on open inFiles

set theFirstFile to item 1 of inFiles

tell application "Finder" to set theVolume to the disk of theFirstFile

repeat with theFile in inFiles

set thePath to POSIX path of theFile

set theCommand to "rm -r " & quoted form of thePath

set theResult to do shell script theCommand

end repeat

tell application "Finder" to eject theVolume

end open

JSTRAIT  First off I'm using this to solve the simplification of a task that I used to have with my PC (recently moved to mac.)

I used to be able to shove my CF card in the reader (a convenient window would open - wish I could get that back too as I've optioned not to show my drives on my desktop, I've got lots of them and don't want the clutter.) After copying the files I'd delete them from the CF card and yank it out of the reader. Didn't have to empty the trash or eject it, very simple and quick.

So basically I want to combine the delete, empty trash and eject into one button, keystroke or icon.

This may sound quite trivial but if you're doing it constantly it can be quite annoying. I also don't like completely emptying the trash all the time in case I might need to recover something.

This product came close to doing this, it basically did everything it said. Well done! I was even able to drag the application icon to the finder window so it's always handy.

Now if it just did two other simple things it would be perfect. 1. Delete files that are dragged into it from removable drives (not send them to the trash or create a trashes file.) 2. Close it's window once complete. Also if possible create the option to always eject removable drives once cleaned.

That would be perfect.

PROTERONLLC  We're being asked this a lot, so I thought I'd post to clarify here:

Version 1.5 of MaxMenus is a Universal Binary and does have complete support for the Intel-based Macs. This is a free upgrade for all owners of the software. If you don't own MaxMenus, please consider supporting our ongoing efforts to write simply functional software.
