iCab
Mar 7 2009

PACHEC  The help page is indeed not easy to read for non-advanced users. Here is a quick receipt to make the things working on most sites. I hope this will help.

(1) Go to "Tools > Forms Manager", tab "Special Web Sites", check the box "Fill out forms" and say iCab to be "less strict" when checking the forms.

(2) You may also check "Automatically fill out forms when entering a web page" if you don't want to have to say explicitly when you want iCab to fill the form.

(3) Now, each time you go to a web page where there is a form that you want iCab to be able to refill later, fill the form and choose "View > Save Forms" in the menu before submitting it.

(4) When you go back later to the same page, iCab will refill the form, either automatically, or after you choose "View > Fill out forms" (option-cmd-F) in the menu (depending on your choice in step 2). (This will probably not work on sites which are designed to prevent form autofilling.)

(Note: I have not tested 1Password.)

iCab
Mar 6 2009

PACHEC  The feature exists on iCab and works well for me. Read carefully the section «Fill out Forms» in the iCab help. Note that, contrary to popular browsers, iCab will never save the data of a given form if you don't ask it explicitly.

CrossOver Mac
Jan 5 2007

PACHEC  The idea is to run Windows applications without running Windows. That means:

- do not use system resources (memory, CPU, etc.) to run a second Operating System;

- do not pay a $300-licence for that Operating System.

Adobe Reader
Dec 9 2006

PACHEC  If you want to save a form filled with Adobe Reader (not just print it, as Adobe want force you to do), use CUPS-PDF [url]http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20219[/url]

Dockless
Jan 13 2006
****½

PACHEC  Excellent small utility. It let you remove easily the dock icon of applications which should never have had an icon in the Dock (HardwareGrowler [in Growl:Extras], LaunchBar, ...) But it is easy to misuse it if you are careless:

WARNING 1. Dockless not only removes the dock icon, but also the menu bar. (Do read the ReadMe file!) Moreover, in some cases (when you log out...), the system could let a dockless (and menuless) application quit without warning you. Therefore, do not use Dockless with any app!

WARNING 2. Hiding dock icon and menu of an application does not affect you only, but every user (you cannot hide dock & menu for one user only).

WARNING 3. Dockless seems to not work properly with some apps (e.g., Preview.app, as noted in a previous review).  
(Version 1.3.3)

LaunchBar

PACHEC  You can remove LaunchBar icon from the dock with Dockless:

BUT, BEFORE DOING THAT, read carefully the "Important Note" in the LauchBar Help, section "Tips & Tricks".

AlphaX
Jan 9 2006
****.

PACHEC  AlphaX is an excellent, highly customizable editor, especially for programming. But real customization is hard if you haven't good programming skill.

However, a very important lacking feature is encoding support: presently, only macRoman is supported; therefore AlphaX is hardly usable for files using other encodings.

Latest versions of AlphaX for Panther and Jaguar can be found at:

PACHEC  Excellent (S)FTP client. A interesting feature "forgotten" in the previous reviews is its Growl support.
