MAKAI  "have the player match capital and small letters"

Great idea, I second this!

I also thank you for coming up with the idea of matching numbers with cards representing the number pictorially. Seriously, I am impressed about the thoughtfulness of this review.  
(Version 1.1)

MAKAI  It's already all said, but just so that FM marketing gets an idea how many are rejecting their

approach, I'll add my comment that I won't move on to version 2 at full price. I'll simply await if version 3 will be worth the price they will ask for it, or not (again ;-).  
(Version 2.0v2)

MAKAI  Well, thank you for bothering to share your experiences. So I gave it another whirl, and indeed this time it works for me (under 10.5.4; last time I tried I was running 10.5.2).

I still have some issues with the Minimize-in-place feature but I think I should better post these findings on the WindowsShade product page.

I am saying this just because mentioning any issues is simply meant to compare experiences with other users, not to denounce the company and their products. Same time I must say I have restrained from bringing up those issues with Unsanity. I felt insecure whether they would find any feedback helpful at all at this point where they feel they are are wrestling with Leopard.  
(Version 1.5.1b4)

MAKAI  Same here, under 10.5.4. Still not available on their website.

Kind of funny... Looking from the file dates, I'd say this version has been put together in early April. And they still don't have it on their site. I wonder if the release to Macupdate had not been intended.

Probably they alredy do have a working version of WindowShade... maybe since long, just as long as the working FontCard...   
(Version 1.5.1b4)

MAKAI  Simply my favourite tool when I need to find out where all the space has gone...

Scans my MB drive filled with 50GB in a bit more than 3 minutes.  
(Version 1.3a)

MAKAI  I got Bluetooth to work by accessing the Centro with Bluetooth File Exchange.

Whereas I believe in the USB mode the Centro's add-on storage card mounts as a volume. Correct?

But how on earth (actually: where exactly) do you plug a USB cable into the Centro?? TNX!  
(Version 1.08)

MAKAI  I was exited when I read "Improved keyboard control" but at such a high price I won't even bother trying it.  
(Version 3.0)

MAKAI  I dare to disagree. I like the idea of a system-wide spell-checking but sometimes the dots simply get in the way. For example, when starting to type an English text like this one here before realizing that the spell-checker is just set to German -- then all the text becomes 'formatted' in red underline, quite a nuisance. Worse, simply switching the spell-check on the text to English won't make the dots go away, until each single word gets 'kicked' with a double-click.  
(Version 1.0)

MAKAI  Indeed, thank you for mentioning it, PTH is now my clipboard tool of choice.  
(Version 4.3.2)

MAKAI  Now it mounts -- TNX!  
(Version 1.2.2)

MAKAI  Still does not mount.  
(Version 1.1)

MAKAI  TNX George, I'll give it a try as well!  
(Version 1.15)

MAKAI  Beware, this guy will keep ypu busy right from the start, for example if you haven't yet moved on to Leopard: version 1.2 is not just "Leopard compatible", it's Leopard-ONLY. Checked for an earlier version on the developers site, but seems all gone.

Well, I guess we have to take it as a sign of the times, if a TIGERgotchi will run with Leo exclusively.  
(Version 1.2)

MAKAI  They thought hard (and have IMHO succeeded) to come up with an easy interface to a fairly powerful backup solution. Been using Retrospect for more than 10 years, and while memeo cannot automatically restore a backup target in any given state at any given time, I must say I never really needed this. What I needed the most was to go back to archived versions of specific files, and memeo does support that well enough. OK, as such memo is maybe not a tool for *system* backup and restoration, rather for user data. --

While memeo does not store all the backup files into a single file I have come to appreciate having direct Finder access to my backup data esp. since it did happen to me that I had to discard valuable backups created with some other backup software because their backup sets had developed internal issues and they never even bothered to come up with some automatic routine to check integrity of their backup sets. --

Speaking of automatic operations, execution of scheduled backups does not work with all backup applications under OS-X. Whereas memeo goes into action as soon as I connect the backup drive. Yes, I really think that's worth mentioning. --

Finally, I noticed no speed issues on my MB over FW400 compared to other backup solutions that I know. Specifically I notice no chance in computer performance when memeo goes about it work in the background. --

memeo is probably the type of solution to recommend when your wife or grandpa ask you whether the pictures on their computer are "safe".   
(Version 2.1.71)

MAKAI  Sorry Dylan for answering so late and thank you for your efforts. Tried cups 133-universal and no issues with PPC apps afterwards. However still 'installation errors'. You are probably right that if something is already broken, a CUPS update install is not the way to fix it.  
(Version 1.3.4)

MAKAI  I find 20 items too limiting.

Currently, I use KoolClip with a user-defined limit of 100 items and always find what I'm looking for, but I am not sure whether it'll make it along when moving to Leopard.

Also, I use a 20-items-only clipboard recorder at work (where I have to use a PC) and at least once per week find myself looking at the hostory list and say "Oh, it's already gone..."  
(Version 4.2.4)

MAKAI  Can't locate DefaultDesktop.jpg in Tiger, so I figure the above relates to Leopard only?  
(Version 0.2)

MAKAI  Decided to give this a try because since recently I cannot print anymore (only) in OS-X -- print manager simply stops all jobs cold.

However, at the end of installing the binary, 'There were errors installing this software -- try again'. Same after repairing permissions once more and trying in Safe Boot mode.

Now Rosetta is broken -- PPC-only apps don't start anymore on my MB Core2.

Bewildering.  
(Version 1.3.2)

MAKAI  Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so grateful to see this gem now being 100% OS-X application, not just 'compatible'.   
(Version 7.0.1)

MAKAI  Slim and fast -- makes an incredible timesaver  
(Version 0.6.3)

MAKAI  Thanks for providing this wonderful little gem! This is one of those apps that you should keep around if you have a Mac -- and kids ;-) Even if you don't, drawing something funny on the table and clicking the nail is probably the fastest way to put something on the desktop that will cheer you up. Hope it will be possible at some point to adjust the size of the window.  
(Version 1.0)

MAKAI  Looks like a potential alternative, if PandoCalendar won't make it onto Intel.

Unfortunately, without support for displaying business weeks, I cannot switch to it right away.

But I am still tempted nevertheless. Keep up the good work ;-)  
(Version 0.4.1)

MAKAI  "New Edit Window with layering control" is an almost too prosaic description for a facility offering a method that I've always regarded the most natural way to edit photos but which I've found surprisingly hard to find: Define an output size which adds a layer onto the photo, then size and move the original 'against' the layer frame until it does contain exactly the desired detail of the motive.This adds a lot of value to ImageWell!  
(Version 3.0)

MAKAI  Many TNX for adding the STOP button!!! ;-) ;-)  
(Version 2.3.2)

MAKAI  A Cancel button would be welcome occasionally... as well as th possibility to adjust display font size for the message browser; maybe option to increase along with bigger window resizement? TNX!  
(Version 2.3)

MAKAI  Indeed, a promising start! It's fast while I find the displaying quality better in some circumstances than my so-far favourite JView and certainly more than sufficient for quick and hobbyist checks of new material.

I am still fumbling with changing displayed size using keyboard controls though. Besides, it would be nice having a preference to open pictures in other than "Fit" size.

Another boon for starters would be to display the pixel size of the displayed picture in some prominent place. I hope this app will continue and grow.  
(Version 1.0.1)

MAKAI  Does what it says. Certainly adds value to Safari. TNX for your work!  
(Version 1.0)

MAKAI  It's real' fast!! A couple of options would even increase workflow speed:

- allow to deactivate the result dialog, at least if there haven't ben any errors; would saf OKing all the time

- allow t automatically unchec items after they have been renamed

Plus: (Allow to) Keep the rename text string after rename operation, to be 'recycled' for the next operation

TNX!  
(Version 1.2)

MAKAI  Freshly installed + 10.4.8 Combo-updated + DiscUtility permission-repaired Tiger on a PPC, then run AJ 143 (in autopilot mode) and it spit lots of error messages, as far as I can scroll the screen, it's always the same error:

/var/root/Library/Scripts/applejack.sh: line 195 : tee : command not found

Anybody else seen this? Before I never had any issues with AJ  
(Version 1.4.3)

MAKAI  Compared to BatChmod, iRepair saves me to OK one application interaction on every single permission change -- BatChmod keeps asking to OK its request for donations despite I've done so long time ago. Very annoying when re-thinking deep-rooted system settings.

On the other hand, I find it much quicker in BatChmod to locate the most-often needed users. So far, I failed to get the users listing order in iRepairs' pulldown menus. Maybe add prefs to allow customized sorting orders.

A nice touch of iRepair is to display the permission settings by that 3-digit number. Suggestion: Display respective numeric ID along with every user in the pulldown menues. -- TNX!  
(Version 1.0.4)

MAKAI  With MyPopBarrier I've finaIly found an inexpensive (actually free) solution to kill spam directly on the server. Basically easy to setup and use since it runs locally from user's machine, under the OS-X GUI. Works accross multiple email accounts -- much quicker than logging in and out of a number of webmail accounts.

Also, selecting messages for purging is a snap; plus messages can get pre-selected as spam or non-spam based on keywords and origin. Not much "bells and whistles" in the latter facility. But appears to work better so far than other spam filter rule systems I've tried elsewhere, although it takes a while (or simply an application restart?) for a new rule to get considered.

Generally, documentation (squeezed in the About dialog) is a bit scarce. What's that tiny telefon icon lower down righthand side? Seems to switch some function on/off -- yet which one?  
(Version 2.2.2)

MAKAI  As I've found out the hard way, Retrospect had never backup up a couple of files on which -- for whatever reasons -- the Other privilege was set to No Access. I changed this permission flag to Read, and voila, on the next backup they got saved as well. I double-checked it's running as root, so it *should* backup items regardless of permission.   
(Version 6.1.7.101)

MAKAI  I was hoping it'd be faster than 1.2, but quite in contrary, the Cocoa version runs decidedly slower. In fact, it doesn't run, it c-r-a-w-l-s... Yeah, I know, it's free, but that doesn't help me if it's anyways too slow to work with it... Well, it's an alpha, keeping fingers crossed for some speed improvements.  
(Version 2.0a3)

MAKAI  Pls consider increasing the Note field respectively consider to allow resizing of the editor mask Thank you!  
(Version 1.2.1)

MAKAI  While apparently not limiting character count that could go into the input fields, but their screen layout size, esp that of the Note field, are waaaayyyy tooo small. This drastically diminishes ease of use and value of an otherwise apparantly useful and stable solution. Pls consider greatly enlarging the Note field.  
(Version 0.4)

MAKAI  OK, so how about DownloadComment for Camino?  
(Version 1.1.1)

MAKAI  Am I missing something? I figure, I need to double-click the app icon to start it up and have it keep running in the background, to update the content display of any Finder windows that become active afterwards. Right?

So upon double-click I get the message "Preparing to move to Trash -- The item "Refresh" cannot be replaced because it is invisble" and it comes 2 or 3 times until it gives up.

Was this some sort of installation procedure? Or am I just sitting in the wrong movie? I am runnning Panther 1039.
