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? ;-)

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!

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

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.

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).

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.

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 }:-(

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 :-)

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!

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.

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. ;)

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?

icon
Type: Troubleshooting
Date: 20 Oct 2007 07:29

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?

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. ;-)

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'.

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.

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 ...?

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

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 :)
