JCRAIG Maybe you should ask the developer of 1Password to support Opera. It's not the job of app developers to support 3rd-party utilities.

Opera

GORDON142 JCraig: True, but Opera stands alone as an almost completely inextensible browser on the Mac — There really isn't a way for third-party developers to add support to it.

Opera lacks a plugin interface like Firefox, but it is also not a Cocoa application like Safari. With cocoa applications, developers can "inject" code directly into the application through the use of input managers (there are problems with these, but they do allow just about any application to be extended). With no input managers and no plugin framework, there is little a third-party developer can do. This is a definite barrier to wider adoption, and it is something only the developers can address.

Jumpcut	Aug 13 2008	MNTBIGHKER I was a PTH guy (free mode) until recently. I started to suspect it was really slowing down my boot times. Jumpcut rose like cream to the top of the recently rev'd clipboard apps I found here. I am on the same page as the developer (unlike his wife) and Jumpcut works pretty much the way I want it to. Simple and Mac like with transparency and some nice effects but at the core non-intrusive. PTH is probably functionally better but it has become bloated. I would rather compromise with the simple nature of Jumpcut. Thanks (Version 0.62)		0

GeekTool	Jun 25 2008	MNTBIGHKER If you run most of the time on Leopard as non-admin neither Geektool or MKconsole can show you /var/log/system.log because of lack of permissions. Somehow Console.app manages to in "Log Database Queries" but NOT directly. Is any of this registering with anyone? I am torn between thinking you should not have routine access to system.log as a regular user, but I also need to see it, so for convenience I would like to solve this. (Version 2.1.2)		0

Shimo	May 12 2008	MNTBIGHKER As an alternative front end to our Cisco VPN client it is no way worth $20 for a little less screen clutter. We will be removing it from our Tiger build unless the EULA allows us to keep using the 1.x version. --Sorry (Version 2.0)		0

Microsoft Office 2004	Mar 13 2008	MNTBIGHKER Autoupdate no worky on every 11.4.0 equipped Mac we try it on. It probably fails period? (Version 11.4.1)		0

1Password	Jan 31 2008	MNTBIGHKER Author promised that "Wallet" item passwords would honor the option to display the field hidden by the end of last year. 2 or 3 minor revisions later there is still no way to hide them. (Version 2.5.10)		0

DTEARE Sorry about the tardiness on our part.

I am an optimist and always assume the best. We have been really busy with the Christmas selling season, Macworld Expo, and many rotating vacations.

I had thought this was a quick fix and something we could get done despite the above items, but sadly it turned out to be a much more involved fix.

I can say that this is a high priority of ours, but with that said Roustem and I are finally taking some time off to recuperate from the break-neck speed of updates we've been having. Hopefully soon after we return.

Cheers!

safeThis	Mar 11 2007	MNTBIGHKER What is needed more than anything is a truly cross platform AES-128 (FIPS compliant) free encryption tool that can live on a thumb drive. JFileCrypt is about as close as I have seen so far. (Version 1.5)		0

Thoth

Aug 4 2006

ROGERTJACKSON ... and that is a real shame. Thoth was (and still is) a great program, positioned perfectly between MT-NewsWatcher and Hogwasher. It's no surprise that the issue revolves around money; my guess is he'd need a considerable amount to port it to Intel Macs. The likely reality is that like Usenet itself, the need for Usenet readers is declining.
