KOBALT  Sounds real handy! I'll give it a go.  
(Version 1.0.1)

KOBALT  Yeah! SnoLeo compatible! Yeah!  
(Version 1.4)

KOBALT  I've not had any problems with the previous release, but this release appears to do exactly what is supposed to have been fixed - that is, the progress bars in the app window do not refresh properly. Only when I click on the app (bring it to the front) does it refresh and update the progress bars.

Other than that, good start to a great little app that is bound to get better over time!  
(Version 0.921)

KOBALT  Cheers, Adam. I have subscribed since posting the above comment. Looking forward to the update! :)  
(Version 2.1.4)

KOBALT  Try downloading it with Speed Download or similar. I'm getting a 'whopping' 150kbps! :)  
(Version 3.3.6)

KOBALT  Can we please, please, please have an update to make this work again under SnowLeopard?  
(Version 2.1.4)

KOBALT  It's not a pref pane you should be looking for, but a Preferences menu item in Mail. Most likely it will be at the end of your current Preferences window and you may have to widen that a little to see it.  
(Version 0.24b4)

KOBALT  It wasn't me who complained about incompatibility with SL (v2.8.1 works just fine here under SL), so I'm not sure what's been changed in v3 to make it 'compatible'. But never mind all that, this is still a must-have app!  
(Version 3.0)

KOBALT  I've been running beta1 since it became available and have had no issues what so ever. As far as I'm concerned a LS beta is as good as a final release ... bit like 1Password in that respect. :)  
(Version 2.2b2)

KOBALT  Thanks for the SL update, Jake! Excellent little app!  
(Version 1.1.6)

KOBALT  Try the just released v3.2.2 for OS10.6.1.  
(Version 3.2.2)

KOBALT  Okay, so not for Snow Leopard.

Note: QuickTime 7.6.4 is for computers using Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.8, Windows XP SP2 or later, or Windows Vista  
(Version 7.6.4)

KOBALT  Let's have a look at it, then, DRDUL ...  
(Version 4.18)

KOBALT  @ IRIEOLOGY

Thanks for that explanation. Yes, I'm waiting with bated breath for the update!  
(Version 0.5.1)

KOBALT  After a fresh start this new day, the app icon has changed to the expected slice of citrus fruit. All must be well again. :)  
(Version 4.0)

KOBALT  But what's with the 'stop sign' icon?!?  
(Version 4.0)

KOBALT  Must have util! And now Snow-leopardized - what more can we ask for?  
(Version 4.0)

KOBALT  Excellent, Mark! Thanks for this ever improving app - we may think we're pretty safe on our MacOSX platform, but it's only a matter of time ...  
(Version 2.0e95.2)

KOBALT  I concur with BORIS4. Worth 5 stars for sure!  
(Version 1.0.2)

KOBALT  Can't sign up for access to the blog so here goes (I hope the dev reads this).

I installed 10.6 and of course WideMail isn't working. So I went to the dev's blog where I found a .plist work-around. I followed the instructions given on the blog to the letter and found that in each instance 'isVisible' was already set for 'YES'. Now what??? Wait for the update, I guess.  
(Version 0.5.1)

KOBALT  Don't know what's up with all the negative comments. I've been using this app for ages now and *never* have any trouble with it. Good to see the impending SowLeopard isn't going to break it! (I just have to wait until tomorrow to install this latest version ...) Thanks, Logan. :)  
(Version 3.2)

KOBALT  If nothing else, this app allows me to easily upload a large set of files to Rapidshare, completely bypassing the silly RS 200MB upload limit for single/multiple files. I no longer have to monitor RS to see if my uploads are done so I can start some new ones. Now that alone is worth paying the small purchase price.  
(Version 5.2.2)

KOBALT  v4-5-6.2.6.3? Man, that takes version numbering to a whole new level! :)  
(Version 4-5-6.2.6.3)

KOBALT  Okay, sorted, sort of. My son has downloaded it for me in malaysia and emailed it back to me. But how annoying!  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  Forgot to mention that I have *no issues* downloading other apps from here. Very strange.  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  I'm trying to download from Australia. Tried Firefox and Safari onmy Mac and Explorer on some Win box. No dice - I just come back to this page each time. :(  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  I'd love to download this soft, but the download link here seems to be running in a loop ... the dev's website only has a now dead MediaFire link, so that's no help either.

MU site admins, can you help out here, please?   
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  Ah yes, I see what you mean and I now agree with you. Blurb want their cake and eat it, too!  
(Version 2.0.2)

KOBALT  I like the sounds of this, but that mention of forced advertisements got me worried, though. However when I checked it out online at Blurb I found this:

"All Blurb books feature a small Blurb logo that is easy to replace with your own logo, or remove from your book. You can add your custom logo while in BookSmart with simple drag and drop. If you’re designing your book via PDF to Book,you can choose to remove the logo page during the order process."

Is this what you are referring to, Kedos?  
(Version 2.0.2)

KOBALT  I actually quite like Clips, but after installing the demo, I found that USB Overdrive quit working properly. Seeing I value USB Overdrive more than Clips, I've had to delete Clips - which I managed to do without a single problem, I'd have to add.

Here's where the files are:

/Users/you/Library/Application Support/Clips

/Users/you/Library/Caches/com.conceitedsoftware.Clips

/Users/you/Library/Preferences/com.conceitedsoftware.Clips.plist  
(Version 1.4)

KOBALT  Hey Monty, maybe it's that dodgy copy of OSX 10.5.8 you've installed. As far as I know that's not an Apple release. ;-)  
(Version 4.4)

KOBALT  The only thing I would *really* like to see in this app is the abilty to control the bandwidth it devotes to up loading. Right now it just hogs the lot and that can be a bother. Other than that, it's great so this time I'll give it some stars.  
(Version 0.894)

KOBALT  Interesting story. I have no shares in the dev's company, but would like to mention that on my MacBookPro running 10.5.7 and Cocktail every night, I have had zero issues.

Mind you, I am a firm believer in not using any Micro$oftware ...  
(Version 4.4)

KOBALT  But wait, there is more! Buy now and receive a FREE set of steak knives ...

Yes, I too love SD. :)  
(Version 5.2)

KOBALT  Aha. That explains it adequately, thanks. :)  
(Version 0.893)

KOBALT  But I'm not sure why it took so long to make it onto MU. This version's been around since the beginning of April.  
(Version 0.893)

KOBALT  It works! It's good. Way better than having to put up with RS's crazy 200MB upload maximum.  
(Version 0.893)

KOBALT  The lack of suggestions for similar products (at the time of writing) is a fair indication of this app's uniqueness on the Mac platform.

In my business, this app is a heaven-sent - we generate at least 3 to 5 images with it every day and I'd hate to think how much time that would take in Photoshop.

Sure, there a few quirks I'd like to see ironed out - like the size change function which doesn't do much for me when we have a wireobound book to do and which stretches the wireo unnaturally instead of creating additional coils - but overall, this is a pretty good product with a *very* responsive developer.  
(Version 2.12.1)

KOBALT  There's a big difference between a negative comment and a smiley/growly face point score.

Personally, I'll accept a well thought out and reasoned negative comment as a valid review, but I'll never attach any value to the point score for any (good or bad) comment. Those comment point scores are simply too vague, meaningless and above all faceless.

If it ever came to a vote, I'd vote for removal of those useless point scores - with a big smiley face!  
(Version 2.1.1)

KOBALT  MTCOBRA, you don't actually have to go into the DOS-like Terminal to exclude certain apps from being 'lazy-moused'.

This is a Mac app and it has is a handy little 'Exclude...' button right there in the control panel for all of us who want to use a Mac as a Mac. :)  
(Version 2.1.4)

KOBALT  I'd not noticed any bugs in the 2.1.2 release, but am glad they got fixed so quick - just in case. Thanks, Joe.  
(Version 2.1.3)

KOBALT  Have you tried any of the opensource apps like NeoOffice or OpenOffice? Would they be a viable alternative to the headache you're working with at the moment?  
(Version 12.1.7)

KOBALT  Forgot to add my stars in my previous post, so here they are for v2.1.2 and the whole app in general. Excellent update to a great little program I wouldn't be without.   
(Version 2.1.2)

KOBALT  Have you read the 'Note' at the top of the description? No need to wait any longer. Join us happy users :)

"Note: Purchasing 1Password today will get you an automatic free upgrade to version 3.0. If you have been waiting for version 3 before purchasing, wait no longer!"  
(Version 2.9.13)

KOBALT  Happy to report all's good again in LazyMouse world. I am already feeling myself getting lazier by he minute now that the curser jumps to the right spot once again. :)  
(Version 2.1.1)

KOBALT  Cheers, dev! I'm going to try it again. :)  
(Version 2.1.1)

KOBALT  There might be a desktop clock in Leopard, but I have as yet been unable to get it to show me more than one timezone at the time. How about you, DNEM41? Any little secrets you want to share with us?  
(Version 4.6.1)

KOBALT  I don't get me wrong, I love LazyMouse, but it looks like it's got a bit lazy of late. More often than not this v2.1 doesn't seem to actually do anything and so I've gone back to v2.0.4 which works fine and jumps to all the right places at the right moment.  
(Version 2.1)

KOBALT  I've used Fetch for what seems like a lifetime, now and *never* have any issues with it. I didn't really need an update, but what the heck, I'll install it anyway.

Six stars!  
(Version 5.3.1)

KOBALT  Indeed, Zeb, and you'll be glad to know I am a committed contributor to smaller devs who produce useful without the massive price tags we so often see from the pan-globals.

My 'is good' comment was more to quantify what I think of the scripts than what I think of the price.  
(Version 2.9)

KOBALT  Still works after all these years! Very fast and efficient!

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/unacex/unaceX_1.2.dmg?use_mirror=waix  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  Now that we have a screensaver version of the app, I can go all out and give my 5 stars! Good on ya, Germo!  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  Thank you, Kaleidosaver genie!  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  Well Frank, I can understand your annoyance! This comment is *not* OT and to let you know that I have been looking for something simple like your script for a long time. Now finally found. Thanks, I'm making good use of it (after tweaking it to my own set-up). Five stars, man.  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  Yeah this is fun, but this app should definitely be a screen saver. After all, who's going to start it up and then just sit there staring at their screen because the patterns are oh-so nice ...? It would have much more value for me as a screen saver and hence I can only give it 3 stars at this time.  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  The usual M$ bloatware. Check out docXConverter (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23537/docxconverter)which, although not free and perhaps overpriced for some of us here, is a tenth the size and will save files in RTF that *can* be read by TextEdit and the like.  
(Version 1.0.2)

KOBALT  Is free. Is good.  
(Version 2.9)

KOBALT  OOPS! You might be giving away your game there - I don't think there's a 2-year demo period for this app.

"I've been using Little Snitch for probably 2 years now, and finally shelled out the meager price to own it."  
(Version 2.0.5)

KOBALT  How about a compromise on the password visability. I have seen this in other Mac apps - simply give the user the option to view readable characters as they type the pass string. I can't write code if my life depended on it (fortunately it does not), but I should imaging an option like that is not such a biggie.  
(Version 1.7.3)

KOBALT  When I still used QXP (years ago), I really loved this plug, but I'm glad I don't use QXP anymore - it would mean paying the wounded bull over at GLUON $400 for a plug, the equivalent of which for ID weighs in at a (relatively) measly $140 and does much the same if not more. Good luck with that, guys!  
(Version 8.0)

KOBALT  Okay, this could be real handy. I'll give it a try.

I use several other LB plugs in InDesign and am happy with their performance. I'm sure this'll live up to its name. Thanks, guys!  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  Yeah! Cool! Thanks, that'll make v1.2.3 usefull for a little longer. :)  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  Okay, I installed it, tried it out and I find it much the same as the free version (in my workflow). Not sure what I'd be paying for in this new version. Can't be the updated Adobe plugins - they have always come for free with the app. Customisable list view? Kerning pairs in info window? Configurable toolbar? Connects to the all new FontExplorer X Server? Font store can be hidden by user or server admin? Backup functionality? Integrated PDF manual? Quick Install functionality? Is that really worth Euro40 (US$54)?

Just contemplating forking over my cash - it's been a good app for me since it arrived and still the least expensive of the three big ones. And it *does* help me earn money. Oh, what the hell ... I'll leave it for a bit longer and use v1.2.3 which still works just fine.  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  It was only yesterday that my local smack dealer offered me the first foil for free ... today, now that I just *must* have it, it's costing me Euro40 and if I hesitate too long, that price is going to go up to Euro80! Hmmm, Rapidshare, anyone? (Just a joke, just a joke - I wouldn't dream of suggesting it in all seriousness!) ;)  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  The links are working today and get you to the author's website where the file is ready for downloading. Great little app!  
(Version 1.2.3)

KOBALT  WOW! This is just great! Nothing else to say but 5 stars from e on all fronts. :)  
(Version 1.0.1)

KOBALT  Well, what can I say - I asked for it. Thanks, Ozzpot, very elucidating!

It doesn't excuse for one single moment the devs' attitude for insisting they keep their *very* ugly icon, though - shame on you guys! You may have designed an app that can 'create high-quality images for ... articles and doctoral theses', but you appear to not be giving any consideration to a high quality image for your own creation in the form of an icon, surely this century's ultimate condensation of the heart and soul of any software program. If the app wasn't free, I'd say you guys desperately need a marketing manager, but seeing you don't charge any money for it, you probably just don't give a rat's arse (am I allowed to say that? it seems a bit crude, however appropriate).  
(Version 5.0.43)

KOBALT  Looks very fine, but (and maybe I just missed it) can we please have an English 'Help' file? There are certain aspects in the Prefs menu that I don't readily grasp.  
(Version 0.3.3)

KOBALT  Hey Ozzpot, did the devs give a reason for turning your icon down? I'd love to hear about it ...  
(Version 5.0.43)

KOBALT  I love it how every single MSOffice updater description says: "... this update includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code."

This is the only software I know of that consistently releases updates to fix vulnerabilities to malicious code. Will they ever get it right?

I think I'll stick with the free alternatives: OpenOffice and NeoOffice.  
(Version 11.5.3)

KOBALT  oh, and let me add my (belated) annoyance with v3.0.4 as well ... i installed it, used it, crashed it more than once and replaced it with v3.0.3 ...

v3.0.4? what a dog!  
(Version 3.1b2)

KOBALT  graphic mac, although i agree with your sentiments regarding the use of betas, i think that if you look carefully, you'll see that the comment to which you have just commented was regarding v3.0.4 (not a beta) and made last month prior to the v3.1beta having been released ... would you like cream or icecream with your slice of humbleberry pie? ;)  
(Version 3.1b2)

KOBALT  WOW! More conversions that I could've ever dreamed off (or ever want to be dreaming off)! And unlike, say MConvert, this is a teeny tiny widget instead of a 10MB app. My vote? You got it. :)  
(Version 1.07)

KOBALT  although there is a download button on this page it doesn't work as per usual - instead you are redirected to the dev's webpage where you can only download if you pay  
(Version 4.3)

KOBALT  although there is a download button on this page it doesn't work as per usual - instead you are redirected to the dev's webpage where you can only download if you pay  
(Version 1.3)

KOBALT  I'm now thinking that perhaps you were in Windoze mode on your Mac ...?!? But how could you have used 1Password, then?  
(Version 2.9.4)

KOBALT  Pray tell, what Trojan did you stumble across on your Mac?  
(Version 2.9.4b2)

KOBALT  I like these:

http://www.landscapedesign.co.nz/land_images_cust/file4706-l.jpg

http://www.sawitfirst.co.uk/media/citrus_juicer.jpg

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/productImages/3/8/00000118138-AmcoHouseworksOrangeXOjexJuicer-large.jpeg

And of course, this martian juicer - my personal favourite:

http://www.uncrate.com/men/images/juicy-salif-juicer.jpg

Unfortunately, we shouldn't expect any of these for the new icon (if there is even going to be such a thing) because of prior copyright issues. Perhaps you could come up with something original, Monoclast?

Anyways, real good app this!  
(Version 4.10)

KOBALT  Still love this app! One more request, though. Instead of hiding the 'Check all' and other funtions under the 'Options' toolbar button, can we have them as draggable items to add or delete from the toolbar direct? That'll save having to open the separate 'Options' menu to select these very handy functions, making the use of NameChanger even more enjoyable. Five stars - and if and when my suggestion has been incorporated, you'll get six. :)  
(Version 2.2)

KOBALT  No, you're not alone, SpringHeelMac ... same issue here where I never had before. :(

See also this post over at the Transmission forums:

forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5584  
(Version 1.33)

KOBALT  Yeah, this could work in my workflow. Just one request - can we have a contextual menu so it'll be possible to send the clip to a particular clipboard by right-clicking the to-be-copied item?  
(Version 0.86S)

KOBALT  Or use Little Snitch!

NB: I'm not advocating SW piracy.  
(Version 2.0.4)

KOBALT  Just noticed that the work around has been posted in the next post. I came here via a MacUpdate Thread Response emailed msg and never saw it until I sent off my reply. Well, double-up is better than not at all, yeah? ;-)  
(Version 5.0.3)

KOBALT  Okay macsolu, I have installed it and found the hiding bug to be persistent ... BUT when combined with OS10.5.4 I can now at least use this work around:

After starting up your Mac, open InDesign -> once open, immediately close it again (ie. don't hit any keyboard shortcuts or do anything at all in ID) -> then re-open ID and cmd+h should now work (it does for me).

CAVEAT: should you happen to close ID again and re-open once more for a third time, the cmd+h shortcut ceases to work!  
(Version 5.0.3)

KOBALT  Love this app, just not quite sure why we're supposed to pay US$35 to use a beta ... ?  
(Version 2.7b1)

KOBALT  Why don't you install it and let us all know ...?  
(Version 5.0.3)

KOBALT  I love this app! Hasn't let me down, yet. Fast and efficient this is an all-star winner. :)  
(Version 3.7.2)

KOBALT  Nice idea and handy, too. I usually forget to browse the MacScripter forums for long periods of time and so miss out on stuff. Now I can stay up-to-date. Thanks, guys! :)  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  Excellent app! I've been using it to my great satisfaction for a long time now, but never knew I could rotate my dialogue boxes (see screen shot above)! Must try and find that feature. ;)  
(Version 3.2.1)

KOBALT  Working just fine now. Thanks Rorohiko for yet another nice plugin. :)  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  Hmmm - when I try to download from either the link here or at the dev's site I get this:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /downloads/TextExporter.2.0.zip on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  Hmmm, this sounds interesting - I'll give the demo a try.

OT: I think the dev's very brave using the logo that they do - can't imagine Adobe being too thrilled with it.  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  I've just found this app and haven't had time to check it out - so no comment from me regarding functionality at this point.

My comment concerns the dev mentioning 'the review which preceeds yours' by way of showing that there are people who really dig this app and happily pay for it. BUT the writer of 'the review which preceeds yours' has paid $5 for the app and not the now charged $25. Whereas $5 seems reasonable, $25 appears less so.  
(Version 1.2.6)

KOBALT  Ah, another new version of Praat! I have to admit I keep an eye out for each update - not because this app is in the least useful to me (mind, I'm not saying it's not useful at all!), but just to see what's happening (or not happening, as the case may be) with that icon ;)  
(Version 5.0.14)

KOBALT  Nice one, Badia! Very handy.  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  Cheers Admin ... that's not what the page looked like at the time I posted my comment. Then there was no mention of 'Japanese' and hence my post.  
(Version 13.0.3)

KOBALT  Okay, so is this update *only* useful for Japanese users? The Adobe weblink is suitable vague (as in it doesn't mention anything about Japanese users, unlike the spiel here at MU). Confuse me, why don't you ...  
(Version 13.0.3)

KOBALT  I'm missing the options previously available for the toolbar. No longer can I have an icon for 'Hold' or 'Queue'. I just don't know why Yazsoft had to take those out - I always found them very handy. Now I have to right-click a file(s) to access those actions.

But apart from that, the app performs as expected. No real problems on my G5 (Tiger5.2).  
(Version 5.0)

KOBALT  And I would like to see an option to outline the fonts in the final barcodes. Then again, perhaps that is a well hidden feature, or maybe I'm just getting too old to be able to find such things.  
(Version 4.7)

KOBALT  Never a problem with this *free* app and now when we had the trouble with OSX 10.5.2 the devs sorted it within 24 hours. Fabulous! I wish all apps could be this wonderful! :)  
(Version 1.2.3)

KOBALT  yeh, hello! disabling fontxplorer may be easy if you use your mac for game playing, but anyone who uses it for work involving type is currently royally scr*wed ... i know there are other apps available, but who's going to lay down US$100 or more for an app they don't really want to use while they're waiting for an app they can't live without to be updated? and, of course, there is no guarantee that things like suitcase will work ... haven't heard anything about it, but that's not quite the same as 'all's peachy in the suitcase garden', is it?

anyway, enough rant ... this is a major hassle for many people and i hope to high heavens that whoever is responsible will sort it out *real* fast ... meanwhile, i'll just spend the night re-installing 10.5.1, i guess }:-(  
(Version 10.5.2)

KOBALT  And when can we expect support for the ABC in Australia?  
(Version 2.0.1)

KOBALT  nice work, carter! i never liked dos ... that's why i got a mac in the first place ... and i never liked the unix command line either, but hey we were just stuck with it until you and your REALLY smart friends came along ... good on ya! 5 stars all the way from me :-)

OT, may i suggest that yetirider and funkyness get a room ;-P  
(Version 2.3)

KOBALT  I'd be inclined to agree with you, neonblue2 ... if your statements were correct.

But the link provided in the MU page here only leads (after further clicking) to a page that pretty much describes what John mentions and pretty much does not describe everything John reckons it falls short on. Makes me think that John's also followed the link and hence has been disappointed.

Alternatively, the link provided through Software Update goes to just the same place leading to too little info.

Even if, as you suggest, we cannot necessarily rely on who posts stuff here (although I would think that Apple keeps an eye on their own product update messages, especially somewhere like here at MU), than the link given is clearly an Apple link that leads to less than a whole lot of info about v1.1.

In all, there appears to be no further information readily available, just like John suggested in the first place. If you have a link that will give us more, please provide it.

Peace to all for the season :-)  
(Version 2007-009 1.1)

KOBALT  Centimetres? You've got millimetres, so why not just move the decimal up to the left one position?

With both metric and imperial measurements, this is one little tool that's useful for more that just the US market (or in reverse, just the European/Australasian market).

Good on the developer!  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  DUH! I didn't read the admin's comment about the 'unavailability' of the file. Please use the link in the previous msg at your own risk! I think I'll leave it for a bit.  
(Version 3.3)

KOBALT  Don't know why the header for this app says 'Currently unavailable' just above the 'More info' link, but this is where I got the app ...

http://www.kaisakura.com/Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus33.zip?Submit=Download+3.3+Now

I'm going to give it whirl and see how it performs.  
(Version 3.3)

KOBALT  Version 5 and still with the old icon ... I can't help wonder what's wrong with the devs ... or with Ozzpot's logo design ...  
(Version 5.0)

KOBALT  Love this little app! I tried several others, but they're all more cumbersome. Five stars from me!

One small feature request, if I may: can we have a button to clear all listed filenames in one fell swoop? That'd save having to select them all and then to hit the '-' button.  
(Version 1.3)

KOBALT  Don't know what version 1.x was like, but this version is the bee's knees! Easy to install, easy to set up, easy to use, easy on the eye. You've got my vote!  
(Version 2.3)

KOBALT  Just want to say thanks to Rorohiko for making a nice set of functional plugs for InDesign - and most of them for free! Good stuff!  
(Version 1.0.2)

KOBALT  Well, Dr Adrien, I have none of your problems and am more than happy with this app. Makes it so much easier to log on at the multitude of sites I frequent.  
(Version 2.5.3)

KOBALT  I'd like to see a hookah option and perhaps a Sherlock Holmes pipe.  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  Having used SpamSieve for ages and Antispam for almost as long, I have to say that Antispam is *way* more effective and accurate in my particular situation. SpamSieve on its own might have given me around 85% accuracy, but this app is hogging 99%. Still, having said all that, I use both - just to be on the even safer side. ;)  
(Version 10.4.3)

KOBALT  The installer works fine over here ...  
(Version 2.0b9)

KOBALT  Okay, problem solved. A restart did the trick. Well, I should have tried that to begin with ... duh!  
(Version 1.0.2)

KOBALT  Thanks for the suggestion, but I seem to not have made myself quite clear. I turned off the annoying warning you're referring to the very moment I installed OSX.

Prior to installing and using 'trash' I could move files to the trash and they'd just sit there until I chose to empty the trash. Now whenever I want to move something to the trash, I am advised that it will be deleted immediately, ie I cannot just have it sit there anymore until I am ready to empty the trash. Clearly this means that if I accidentally move anything to the trash now, I have no way of pulling it out anymore.

I want to go back to the status I had prior to installing/using 'trash'. How do I go about doing that?  
(Version 1.0.2)

KOBALT  After installing 'trash' I had no option but to either accept or reject 'immediate deletion'. I have deleted 'trash' again, but I still get this insistent choice when I hit cmd+del. How do I get back to the situation prior to installing 'trash' when I could just move files to the trash folder with that key combo for later 'real' deletion?  
(Version 1.0.2)

KOBALT  First public beta and already we have to pay US$9.70? What for exactly? The pleasure of sorting out the dev's bugs? Or just to have a "much better a chance to see [...] feature requests being implemented in future versions of Color Converter"?  
(Version 0.b03)

KOBALT  Yes, I too thought it might have been liquid paper, but after further considertion that seemed to make little sense. After all liquid paper only makes things go away and doesn't change anything, whereas nail polish tizzies things up real nice, better looking (or better named) than before. Wow, what a fascinating dialogue we are having here ... now if only the dev would weigh in with comments. ;-)  
(Version 4.6.32)

KOBALT  Well, Computernaut, it's way OT of course, but that thing under the 'crystal ball' is clearly the applicator brush from a bottle of nail polish ... what ever else did you think it could possibly be? See a larger version of the icon here http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/  
(Version 4.6.31)

KOBALT  I had trouble installing this update, but worked it out in the end. Way back when, after installing CS3 for the first time, I changed the name of the folder containing the Suite from 'Applications' to a more descriptive 'Adobe CS3'. I was finally able to install this update by renaming the folder back to 'Applications'.  
(Version 5.0.1)

KOBALT  love it! love it! love it! this is a one-trick pony that's not let me down, yet. thanks, dev!  
(Version 3.1)

KOBALT  If this is a new update, how come the app shows a mod date of 16/04/07 (European date format)?  
(Version 1.2.1)

KOBALT  Yes, I like it, but how is it different from RefreshWindows (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20795)?  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  In the previous version I could double-click a folder found through the search function and that folder would open and show me its contents even without having the relevant CD loaded. Alas, no more! Folders found through a search are no longer interactive like that. Great pity. I think I'll have to go back to v4.7.  
(Version 5.0)

KOBALT  "In case nobody knew (unlikely) - the icon represents a (crude) sketch of the brain regions involved in speech generation."

And here was I thinking it's (crude) sketch of some lips and an ear ... how could I have been so mistaken! ;)  
(Version 4.6)

KOBALT  Great! More features, more options, more control! Some, if not all of this, may in fact be superseded by the new CS3, but for those of us who don't want to hand over yet more money to Adobe, this is one you can't go past.

The one thing I don't get is what's with the $10 price tag here on MacUpdate? There is no mention of any money needing to change hands at the dev's site, and when i ran a (single) test with the freshly downloaded script, there was no request from the dev to do so, or any apparent disability to the script ...?  
(Version 3.1.2)

KOBALT  Doesn't look like they've approved your new icon just yet, Ozzpot :(  
(Version 4.5.17)

KOBALT  AAARGH! let's hope they make up their minds sooner rather than later ... ;)  
(Version 4.5.16)

KOBALT  The best keeps getting better! Why would you use anything else? I'd give it 6 stars if MacUpate allowed me to.  
(Version 1.1.1)

KOBALT  simple and effective without the bloat of some of the others - does what i want it to do  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  what can i say i haven't said before ...? it's still great stuff!

and for those who have trouble with the download link here like i do, just hit 'more information' to go to the dev's page and then select 'products' for the latest download - don't know why macupdate don't fix that niggly problem ...  
(Version 3.0.2)

KOBALT  oops! i didn't realise there were two apps involved here, but after some investigation must say that i am unlikely to use anything else than the easily accessible 'quick menu' version ... in fact, i'm a little puzzled about why there are two apps and what could be the difference between the two, apart from the appearance ... oh, and the resizeable window and prefs menu option, of course :)  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  i honestly don't know why other companies continue to develop their apps - throw away your dearly paid for font manager and get into this one ... not only is it free (always a bonus and simply incredible for what it offers), but it works seamlessly and without a hitch for me

i've used this soft almost from the day it came into the public arena – i'd give it 10 stars on all counts if it were possible here  
(Version 1.1)

KOBALT  nice app, but it still won't find 0200 ... however it does find 200 (AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY . ACT), although it shows 30 other suburbs at the same time

here's my wish list for this app ... i'd like to see a resize corner in the bottom right of the results window, so i can expand that window to show all the listings at once (sure, you could ask how many listing will there ever be for any one particular postcode, but let's say i'm looking for '200' or '2250') ... the other thing i'd like to see is a pref pane which allows me to turn off the app's keen interest in connecting to the net every time i look up a post code ... and an option to check for updates manually ...

meanwhile, my thanks to the dev for making it available in the first place :)  
(Version 2.0)

KOBALT  download the app, mount the dmg, read the documentation file ... admittedly, it's somewhat light on information, but then this is not an app for the faint of heart or the light of brain ... :)  
(Version 1.5.3)

KOBALT  great stuff, keep it up!

and for those who have trouble with the download link here (which inexplicably sent me to the previous version on macupdate), just hit 'more information' and download direct from the dev's page (once there, select 'products' for the latest download)  
(Version 2.0.5)

KOBALT  lovely icons ... thanks for that, dev! :)  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  As of 19 July the 'more info' link gets you this ... "You have arrived a page that does not currently exist."

I hope they're back on line real soon so I can find out more about this app ...  
(Version 1.7.0.4)

KOBALT  well, it's horses for courses and the dev does supply a rather extensive suite of options for an 'eyeball' app, but $10 to have the shit annoyed out of me within the first 60 seconds? i don't think so!  
(Version 3.2)

KOBALT  updater available from

http://www.zevrix.com/LinkOptimizer1_5_1Updater.sit  
(Version 1.5.1)

KOBALT  this app did what the os-inbuilt screen capture won't do when i try to capture a window from a movie playing in 'dvd player' ... just what i need!

three cheers to the dev :)  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  great app! i can finally do in indesign what i used to do in quark with docuslim and at a much lower cost (don't get any ideas now, devs!)

just waiting for the 1.5.1 updater to be come available - hope it's soon ...  
(Version 1.5.1)

KOBALT  uzombie, if you are a member of macupdate, you can add cocktail to your watchlist

it will then jump up and bite you on the arse as soon as a new version is listed ;)  
(Version 3.7.2)

KOBALT  great app, used it for years, wouldn't be caught without it, but how's this ... ? according to the dev's description above ...

"Version 3.7.2:

Addresses compatibility issues with Mac OS X 10.4.7"

and here i was thinking i had the latest version of osx installed with 10.4.6 ... well, at least i'll be prepared ... :)  
(Version 3.7.2)

KOBALT  quite like the idea of being able to manilulate the menu bar visibility and i appreciate the dock item, even if others don't - my dock is not so bloated that it worries me to have another item in it

this little app is easy to use, easy to configure, easy to uninstall again and let's not forget it's *free*

what i would like to see, though, is a feature to make my menu bar completely disappear ... now that'd be real neat!  
(Version 1.0)

KOBALT  another free and real easy alternative is 'FinderIconCM' ...

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11740  
(Version 3.0)

KOBALT  lol ... swordfish, i always thought of apple as a kinda surrogate santa ... he never receives gifts (unless you count the glass of beer left at the chimney), but hands out plenty ;)  
(Version 1.0b1)

KOBALT  if this is indeed the 30th birthday gift, it's a pretty poor one ... after all, it's only of use to those relative few who have an intel-based mac ... or did i miss the 'gift' for us users of older macs?  
(Version 1.0b1)

KOBALT  well we can't fault the dev for trying! as soon as potential issues are raised (see posts below) he spends a sleepless night and fixes the app! great little soft and free to boot - who am i to complain :)  
(Version 1.2)

KOBALT  hmmm, the file that downloads when i click on the xCHM v1.5 link appears to be v1.3 (when checked with 'get info') ... what's up with that?  
(Version 1.5)

KOBALT  okay, this app and the devs are getting to the point where i actually wouldn't mind paying, say, $10-25 for it ... that's how impressed i am!

still glad though it's free :)  
(Version 1.0.1)

KOBALT  don't know in which way fontagentpro can have *better* auto-activation when fontexplorer activates *every* font my apps need when they need it ... can you explain that one, please?  
(Version 1.0.1)

KOBALT  US$290 for something I can do in Acrobat for free (Advanced > Export all images)?

It'd better make a good cup of coffee!  
(Version 2.0.1)

KOBALT  hmmm, tried several folders (copies of course!) and this app didn't seem to do anything, even though i'd purposely renamed some of the files within ... each time the progress bar got to the end of the line and stopped there, leaving me to wonder if the app has crashed (as the dev suggests it may at times) or if that is what it looks like when it's 'done' ... interesting idea, but may need a bit more work ...  
(Version 1.0)
