SVOOP  It doesn't for me and probably most people out there, so I suggest you find some other way to calm your temper than throwing with single stars.

L0XBY  If you have an Intel iMac, I would recommend this instead:

http://www.derman.com/iMac-Fan-Control

It allows you to adjust the rate at which the fans speed up by setting the lower/upper threshold.

L0XBY  a few new bugs in 0.9.9a that weren't in 0.9.8a:

* titles in media library not displayed, even though item can still be played.

* animated progress meter continues to show even after video has loaded and started playing or after video was stopped.

Path Finder
Jan 14 2009

L0XBY  Why doesn't it remember a folder's "Sort by" criteria in list view when I switch directories? Why does it always default to what's set in the View Options?? Even Finder can remember each folder's sort criteria in list view.

iDefrag
Jan 14 2009
**...

L0XBY  Booted up from my backup drive and started a full defrag of my main boot volume (60GB, 50% full, OS 10.5.6, journaled). About 20 minutes into defragging, iDefrag stalls and it shows the spinning beachball of death (I no longer hear the hdd reading/writing). Unable to shut down from Apple menu, I do a hard reboot by holding down the power button. I boot up from the backup drive again and start the full defrag of the main boot volume. This time it stalls after about 30 minutes of defragging, I get the spinning beachball and have to do a hard reboot again.

Full defrag runs fine on non-journaled volumes that don't have OS files on it. Maybe there's some incompatibility with OS 10.5.6? But it also stalled when I tried it on a 10.5.5 boot volume.

iDefrag

CHRIS FROM CORIOLIS  When a hard reboot is required, it indicates a problem with either the hardware or OS X. It cannot be a problem with iDefrag---you would be able to Force Quit iDefrag if the hang was because of iDefrag.

Anyway, please report these issues to us and we can get onto Apple if necessary.

L0XBY  "Date Modified" column shows wrong date for SMB connected folder. It appears correctly in Finder and on the Windows side, so Path Finder is doing something goofy.

Chimoo Timer
Oct 27 2008
**...

L0XBY  "Set Count Down" from the menubar doesn't work. First of all, the window doesn't come to the forground so it looks like nothing happens. Secondly, when you change the time in the window, it doesn't get applied to the timer.

Would also be nice if it would allow me to enter "108 minutes" and it would be smart enough to convert that to 1h 48m. Right now, the app limits you to 2-digits in the minute field (max 59 minutes).

L0XBY  I wish they would make this Leopard compatible. Would be nice to dim the menubar when it's not needed.

L0XBY  0.9.2 is a major step backwards. it has some major problems seeking in mkv files. there's still no way to disable the fade in/out full screen effect. it takes a few seconds for the window to close when you stop playing a file. this version also appears to use more cpu then 0.8.6.

go back to 0.8.6c which was the last stable version where everything worked well for the most part.

STORMCHILD  I've had exactly the same experience so far. VLC 0.9.2 is much, much worse than the previous version I was using. Definitely going to go back for now.

SRS iWOW Premium
Aug 7 2008
***..

L0XBY  When you first open iTunes with iWOW installed, it will use the CPU (9% on my MBP) when iTunes is idle (nothing playing). Once you open and close the iWOW setup window, iTunes idle CPU usage will drop back down normal (1% on my MBP).

So there is something funky with this plugin that causes iTunes to use unnecessary CPU cycles if the iWOW window is not opened at least once after iTunes has started up.

Other than that, it seems to do what it says.

L0XBY  This tool is somewhat irrelevant without the ability to mount a drive/partition that you unmounted. If it could do that, then you wouldn't need to open Disk Utility or Terminal to re-mount.

You don't really need this app if you know how to use CMD+E to unmount a drive because that's all that it does, and takes up space in your menubar.
