Type: CommentsDate: 28 Aug 2007 15:00Yes, it looks like Google must have changed the authentication scheme, because it's impossible to log in any more. Too bad. I see the source code is available on the site, but I (probably like the developer) don't have time to study the google API at this point.

Type: CommentsDate: 23 Jul 2007 15:13I like the last.fm Web site, and I love the idea behind this community/app.
However, I think the developers should know that even when the Last.fm application is only scrobbling (ie *NOT* playing music, but rather only scrobbling what iTunes is playing, it hogs 40-70% of my processor at all times. Compare this to iTunes, which, while actually playing mp3s is only using 5% of the processor. There's something wrong with this app's code. Are the developers even running it through Shark or any other code analysis tools?
Again, I love the concept, but whenever I have last.fm running, it slows the computer to a crawl.

Type: ReviewDate: 2 May 2007 04:24Not only is this text editor intelligently designed, and clearly laid out, but the developer is a rare, one-of-a-kind individual. He writes beautiful software, with superb attention to detail, and releases it for free. Not only that, but he responded politely and vigorously to a feature request I made, and I'm happy to say that within three days he had included it. So now the latest release includes being able to use the function navigator in Shell scripts, something that other text editors simply will not do (with the exception of SubEthaEdit).
I highly recommend Smultron.

Type: CommentsDate: 20 Feb 2007 17:34Thank you for taking the time to develop this, but did you take the five seconds to check if there was other widely used software named "Fire" out there? I guess not, or you wouldn't have named your widge Fire--the name of a pretty common IM app that has been out since Mac OS X 10.1

Type: CommentsDate: 28 Nov 2006 14:15Perhaps because the issue with the fans is a bit of a moving target, with some models responding better to certain methods than others. Rather than try to be pre-emptively exhaustive, perhaps the author is veering on the side of caution in providing a flexible answer that can adapt to the many issues reported out there instead of answering definitively and then being inundated with "hey, this didn't work! on my Mac ? with 10.4.x and nnn mg of RAM, build version xxxxx and EFI firmware version...."
He is not obligated to offer support for an issue that is properly Apple's.

Type: CommentsDate: 19 Oct 2006 18:03Love this app!
Here's the obligatory feature request:
Provide a way to sort by signal strength--maybe just by clicking on the signal strength column.
Would also be nice if you could filter for "only open" networks.
I know, I know, it's not actually signal strength, but throughput, no need to flame me.

Type: Hint/TipDate: 2 Oct 2006 16:21Since x-tunes looks dead, I've taken to doing this, to try to emulate its functionality as much as possible.
1) Installed QuickSilver http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14831
2) Installed the iTunes plugin for QuickSilver.
3) Installed Growl (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15979)
4) Installed the Growl plugin for QuickSilver
5) Configured the action keys for the QuickSilver iTunes plugin so I can set the rating on a song, increase/decrease volume, move to the next song, stop playing using keystrokes available from any application. With growl installed, I have it set to post a little transparent notification window for each new song it plays. Alltogether it works great and almost replaces x-tunes.
My keystrokes, for example:
ctrl+opt+cmd+1 rating of one for currently playing song
ctrl+opt+cmd+2 rating of two for currently playing song
ctrl+opt+cmd+3 rating of three for currently playing song
ctrl+opt+cmd+4 rating of four for currently playing song
ctrl+opt+cmd+5 rating of five for currently playing song
ctrl+opt+cmd+0 no rating for currently playing song
ctrl+opt+cmd+. Stop playing
ctrl+opt+cmd+? Show me which song is playing
ctrl+opt+cmd+UPArrow Play the earlier song
ctrl+opt+cmd+DOWNArrow Play the next song
ctrl+opt+cmd+= Increase volume
ctrl+opt+cmd+- Decrease volume
plus, QuickSilver is an amazing application.

Type: CommentsDate: 2 Oct 2006 16:13Well, now it no longer works. I don't know how it ever did, but I was in heaven for a few weeks, and now I can't get x-tunes to work on my Intel Mac anymore. What a pity.

Type: Hint/TipDate: 20 Sep 2006 20:35Still my favorite graphical interface to MySQL databases. Thanks to the developers for their work.
I still have one MAJOR flaw to point out. Do a MySQL table dump with drop tables on even a medium sized database (50,000 rows, four tables), and prepared to see CocoaMySQL hang (reports 101% processor usage and becomes unresponsive and gobbles up massive amounts of RAM until you force quit it).
This behavior has been verified on three different Macs (PowerPC and Intel) with different OS versions since at least the 0.5 days in CocoaMySQL, and it still exists!
I love CocoaMySQL, but am sad that I still need to use the command line for any data lifting of substance.
Suggestion: Feed the mysqldump to a shell subprocess and just let it notify the application when it is done. This would free up the user interface in the meantime and would handle the memory issues.

Type: CommentsDate: 19 Sep 2006 15:51Actually, it appears the x-tunes daemon DOES load and run on an Intel Mac. However, the preference pane cannot be loaded.
So if you want to install x-tunes on an Intel Mac, just drop the preference pane into your ~/Library/PreferencePanes folder, then if you don't already have a preference file set up that you can copy, copy the below to a text editor and save it to:
~/Library/Preferences/X-Tunes Preferences.plist
You'll have to live with my preferences, I suppose, but it's better than nothing.
Here's the text of the preference list:

Type: CommentsDate: 21 Jul 2006 15:50thanks to the developers. I love using this app, but am sad to see that it now does not launch (crash on launch) under 10.4.7. I'm using version CocoaMySQL-SBG 0.7.1
the message i get in the console when I try to launch is:
2006-07-21 16:03:09.441 CocoaMySQL-SBG[5429] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting

Type: ReviewDate: 11 Jun 2006 12:51This is a nice little application, if a little cute. The interface could be worked out a bit more consistently (they might benefit from following more standard Apple app development approaches), but it's perfectly fine for playing around with ringtones. Any serious composition, however, is difficult to do with this tool, but I don't think that's what the authors had in mind. Think of it as a fun tool for maybe making a couple simple, custom ringtones, and you'll be happy. Expect more, and you'll probably be dissapointed.

Type: CommentsDate: 19 Feb 2006 14:37Well, actually, looking at the ad blocking, it still follows the same model. Blocks ads on the basis of the origin of the ads themselves rather than the site which is serving the ads.

Type: CommentsDate: 14 Jan 2006 17:32I really like CamiTools. I'm posting a feature request here because I can't seem to load the nadamac.de page to post a feature request there.
My feature request concerns ad blocking. Usually, the way I think about ad blocking is not which ad servers do I want to block, but rather, which sites do I want to support by viewing their ads, and which ones would I prefer not to support. For instance, I'm interested in supporting macupdate.com by viewing their ads, regardless of where they are being served from. To me, a better ad blocking mechanism would be:
block all ads servers (from block list)
UNLESS the domain I'm viewing is (host white list).
The logic then would be:
if ad server is on block list and the domain of the page I'm viewing is NOT in the host white list, block the ad. Else show the ad.
In the case of macupdate it would be:
if ((adserver in block list) && (macupdate.com NOT in host white list) { block ad} else { show ad }
The point is not so much the origin of the ads (because different sites will have a different catalog of ads), but rather to show ALL ads, regardless of origin, if the site I'm on is a site where it is unlikely the ads make me cringe (online gaming, celeb pics, etc).
In fact, I'd even be happy with scrapping the idea of blocked ad server list completely and just doing:
if (hosted domain is in host white list) { show ads } else { block ads }.
This would be even simpler to implement, and there would be no need for a block list import/update mechanism.
Thanks for your work on camitools!

Type: CommentsDate: 4 Jan 2006 21:32I'm having the same problem. I switch to Aqua and I'm prompted to quit Camino. So I click ok. I restart Camino and I still have the default unified look.
This is with Camino 1.0b1 and Mac OS X 10.4.3

Type: ReviewDate: 1 Dec 2005 18:05This is very nice. The update to 1.0 implements my most desired feature: single authorization! This is a great help.
For anyone working with launchd configuration files, whether you love digging through XML-based .plist files or not, this tool can make everything much much easier, and also gives confidence in the validity of the edits I'm making to the files.
One really nice thing, too, is the listing of available Daemons, and the display of their status as either disabled or not.
Also, it's got quite a nice interface.
