PEANUT BUTTER  Reformat is the best feature EVER! This one piece does what other $30+ programs do..... for free. Other great tools in there too.

THANK YOU!  
(Version 2.7)

PEANUT BUTTER  Audio Hijack only does that... record audio.

Call Recorder does audio and video.  
(Version 2.2.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  where to buy? how much? There website doesn't seem to sell direct and I can't find a retailer through a web search.

I guess they don't want to sell their product.  
(Version 3.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  An additional comment about the S530 and LCC software....

The keyboard started producing odd characters and wonky feedback. Battery already dead? So I put in on the ground and started using a diff keyboard. The LCC software no longer recognizes the mouse without the keyboard - lame.

When LCC is working, the mouse keys choices don't let me use the buttons for any expose features. I had set the back/forward buttons = to F9 and F10. That was pretty sad also for a "control center".

(I do like the mouse without the keyboard.)  
(Version 2.2.2)

PEANUT BUTTER  that's the one I have been using too. very lightweight and troublefree  
(Version 3.4)

PEANUT BUTTER  Installed LCC v2.1.4 that I downloaded from Logitech. (BTW, I had both key/mouse on and the USB receiver plugged in when I installed the drivers)

Rebooted, and the control panel recognized the S530 keyboard, and sees the mouse as a S600.

Both pref panes work correctly... nice to have such control over the keys and what they do, launch, etc.

-->I am not happy with the S530 keyboard at all. It's loud, feels very cheap, looks like cheap plastic, and takes a lot of action/force to actuate the keys. Finally the caps lock has no indicator.

--> I do like the mouse. Love the extra buttons, I don't like the amount noise and feedback of the scroll wheel.  
(Version 2.2.2)

PEANUT BUTTER  what mac?

I am on a MBP 2.16 and I too have trouble with LCC 2.2.2. I just downloaded 2.14 from the Logitech website.

Version 1.62 from the CD in the box is useless on an intel based mac.  
(Version 2.2.2)

PEANUT BUTTER  Looks like KisMac is temporarily down, but not out. From their website......

With the introduction of §202c German politicians proved their complete incompetence. Law in Germany: possession of child pornography - two years imprisonment. Distribution of security software is half as bad. Even worse politicians still believe in the successful ban of digital information, obviously not reckoning globalization.

We are heading straight to a country I do not want to be living in.

KisMAC will live on. Different people. Different country. Same "threat" to national security.  
(Version 0.21a)

PEANUT BUTTER  I got this app with the MU Promo bundle. I had never heard of it.

2 minutes after launching it, I realized that I picked up an amazing piece of software. I would be dazzled for a few minutes with the various slideshows styles, if that was all it did. The fact that there are numerous ways to export the slideshows makes this app amazing and useful in so many ways. The screen saver export was great to see, can't wait to play around with it.

The animated slideshow options are very cool and very slick.

I can already see myself creating short little slideshows to export and add into other movies.

Much, much easier to create a photo DVD than iMovie/iDVD.

The fact that I got this unexpected as part of the MU Promo makes it an amazing value.  
(Version 2.9.2)

PEANUT BUTTER  Leopard, OS X 10.5 is expected to be released in Sep or Oct 2007.

Apple has not set a specific date for release of 10.5.  
(Version v63)

PEANUT BUTTER  and now come clicking is returning. The update was great at first, but now some of the old problems are back....hmmmm  
(Version 2007-001)

PEANUT BUTTER  english website

(Version 0.3b)

PEANUT BUTTER  why is it silly to use on a desktop? it's a great place to use it. just as you said, you can deep sleep, save energy, reduce noise, without closing your apps and files.  
(Version 1.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  still getting the problem of a loud buzzing when I wake from sleep and I have external speakers plugged in.... but the buzzing doesn't return every few minutes the way it did before.  
(Version 2007-001)

PEANUT BUTTER  Simple easy d/l and install.

Got rid of the annoying popping and static from a 3.5mm cable being connected to the speaker jack on an MBP (C2D, early 2007).

Previously I was either pulling the plug, or changing the volume every few minutes. Problem only occurred when audio was idle.  
(Version 2007-001)

PEANUT BUTTER  I was able to get the CanoScan N1240U to work with a MacBook Pro (early 2007, not the santa rosa mobo).

Using with CanoScan Toolbox X. Photoshop CS import works also.

Still crummy software overall that sucks 100% of a processor when from the time it's launched to the time it's quit, but it actually does work and I can scan.

I just ran the CanoScan_N1240U_v7010X installer - no reboot, works. Not sure if it will be working after reboot ;-0

(buttons don't work on the front - oh well)  
(Version 4.1.3.0X)

PEANUT BUTTER  Works fine with MacBook Pro (C2D) and 10.4.9  
(Version 1.2v2)

PEANUT BUTTER  that's because their software was always 100% slower when a new chip or Mac OS was released.

Besides with mutli-processor support...finally!...it actually might be 100% faster :)  
(Version 6.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  Dood you are cool. Post it and let's see what ya got. If it is as good as you say and just 50K, then I will glady pay.  
(Version 3.2)

PEANUT BUTTER  On a MBP with 10.4.9 I get "Preferences Error". You cannot open PathSnagger pref pane on this computer.

Bummer.  
(Version 1.1b5)

PEANUT BUTTER  Carbon... worse than Win 3.11 apps. Yep KDX is ugly, offense, and hard to use. It does have great security and direct peer-to-peer support.... but it's not VNC or ARD.

Oh BTW, Haxial finally updated their website. I thin it's two pages now instead of one long page. Sooo cool. I paid for that program :-0  
(Version 2.0.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  Using it on a MacBook Pro (Core2Duo) and it works great.

It's a bit quirky to figure out the settings at first, but once you get it, there is an ah-ha moment and you really get it.

Great "fine" control over the fan speed.

I tried all of the other fan apps for the intel macs and this is the best. Cyclone offers temp in the menubar, and that's it's only advantage...if that is what you really want. Otherwise the cyclone interface is worse than fan control.

It would be nice if this were a separate application, so that I could monitor like Activity Monitor rather than opening and taking over the sys prefs.

(Version 1.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  $19 is still pretty expensive for a battery monitor

this should be $5  
(Version 2.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  You're commments refer more to the way that iPhoto itself creates and manages data in the finder.

This program, iPhoto Library Manger 3.2.5 puts a front end on iPhoto allowing users to create multiple libraries and move photos between those libraries. It's working within the framework of libraries that Apple has designed.

You are looking for a different type of media management program altogether.  
(Version 3.2.5)

PEANUT BUTTER  without an interface

forced to remember to use alt key

not nearly as slick and useable, which is the reason you have a mac instead of linux, right?  
(Version 3.2.5)

PEANUT BUTTER  WOW, what a great idea...well, implementation of what should have been in all email programs from the start.

...But $18... seriously? I know you took the time to develop this program, but $18 is very pricey, especially since Eudora just dropped it's price, is going open source and will be free.  
(Version 2.6)

PEANUT BUTTER  huge requirements.. or is it that they decided against UB (aka PPC and intel code), and opted for intel code only to simply their programming?

I am on a 1.67Ghz G4 DP with Radeon 9800 - pretty decent power, nothing to brag about, but I can get decent frame rates on most games. So the fact that I can't even run this tells me that.....

1. the developer is lame and needs to support G3/G4/G5/intel and all Nvidia and ATI cards ever made

or....

2. I need to et out of the jurrasic and get myself an intel-based mac before I die of old age.

or....

3. join the monastery  
(Version 1.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  what size is your drive?

3 hours for defrag is nothing on a 100GB HD. Try defraging a nearly full 750GB HD  
(Version 1.6.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  Additionally, OS X does NOT optimize.

That is, it OS X will not reorganize the location of the files on your hard drive. This may not seem like a big deal, but if all of your library and system files are scattered across the drive, that adds to the amount of work the spindle must do moving back and forth across the entire platter over and over again. It would be worse if those same files were also fragmented and the fragments were scattered across the drive.

With the size of hard drives outpacing speed (throughput and seek times), I am starting lean back toward defrag and optimization as ways to help the drives keep up with today's fast computers.  
(Version 1.6.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  yeah, no kidding. 10.4.9 came out today, why isn't there is an update already.... just kidding.

Hopefully we'll see an update soon and some 8 processor Mac Pros.  
(Version 1.7)

PEANUT BUTTER  I get the same thing when the toolbox is open. Fortunately the app only needs to be opened during the scan.

At least they have solved the problem where the libraries for the scanner buttons were causing massive CPU usage... or maybe that was solved by Apple. Same Canon libraries behave correcty in Tiger.  
(Version 4.1.3.0X)

PEANUT BUTTER  plugin work with photoshop 7, CS, and, CS2  
(Version 4.1.3.0X)

PEANUT BUTTER  i don't, but I have a PC under my desk (usually off, with monitor sitting on desk powered down), 5 old ibooks on the shelf in deep storage, and a imac in the closet. But do I want to power up any of those macs just to use the screen? No. I would like to be able to use the PC's screen without disconnecting the cables and getting a 2nd video card for the mac - this could be the trick.   
(Version 0.80)

PEANUT BUTTER  and they didn't improve the speed or the dumb interface.

I say dumb interface b/c of all of the clicks it takes to go from one text box to a new text box. This program is used for filling out forms, make that the priority of the user workflow. I have no idea what their use case was when they designed this program, but it's been slow and painful in every scenario I have used it.  
(Version 3.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  I agree. So slow, it hurts my wrist, arm, and shoulder.

Took me 25 minutes to fill out a 2 page form that would have taken less than 2 minutes with pen and paper!!!!

Text is slow, adding an image is worse. A 4K image causes a rainbow pizza wheel of death each time i move it anywhere on the screen.

It would be faster to open the file in illustrator or photoshop.

$50 for this? They must be kidding.

(Version 3.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  How is the keyboard command so many fewer clicks and less time?????

While the keyboard shortcut (cmd+e) is quick and easy, you are forgetting the other steps involved...

1a. get to the desktop

-press F11, or mouse to the desktop

1b. get to a finder window

-select the finder icon in the dock

2. select the item you want to eject

...now....

3. go back to the keyboard and press cmd+e

OR

1. go to the menu bar with mouse

2. select icon within ejector menu using mouse

3. eject the drive

Either option could be faster than the other depending on your situation.  
(Version 0.8.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  simple, elegant, works.

I love having the vertical line dividers to break up the many icons in the dock. I org by type of app, so having the lines is a simple visual helper.

if I accidentally click on the line, it quits itself and no harm is done.

(Version 1.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  your link to the screen shot exists.... but, it looks like a finder window, explains nothing. Could you add a few more screenshots to that page which show HOW this is "like 4 docks", how it actually works, etc.

thanks  
(Version 2.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  I can't imagine how messy your bedroom or car is... 1000+ items in your downloads folders ;-)  
(Version 0.80)

PEANUT BUTTER  "far more useful" is a point of view. icalx.com looks to be a neat way to "publish" calendars, but it doesn't sync.

iSynCal actually "syncs" calendars, which is a completely different and quite valuable. Instead of just seeing what others have to show you, you can collaboratively update and edit workflows on a shared calendar.

icalx.com's last website update was 10/9/03, and the author last mentions product compatibility with iCal 1.5.1

iSynCal is not Exchange or NUT&C, but those are server based calendars and a different class of product.

(Version 1.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  I have used SharePoints before with success, but running into problem on 3.5.4 and Tiger 10.4.7. I cannot get the local computer to be considered part of the specified group. In the app it shows up correctly.

When I create a folder remotely, I am locked out locally, even though the local user is part of the group "staff".

The only way to get access for the local user is to all 'everyone' r/w privis, but that's not a solution.  
(Version 3.5.4)

PEANUT BUTTER  I tried Sandbox, but it gave me errors on the folders I wanted to modify the privis. So I can't say it was useful.  
(Version 3.5.4)

PEANUT BUTTER  No problems with 10.4.7 and Applejack 1.4.2

hardware = Gigabit G4 Tower with Dual 1.6Ghz upgrade.  
(Version 1.4.2)

PEANUT BUTTER  I like the concept and possibility..

Unfortunatly editing a "dockyard" is non-sense. The remove menu item doesn't do anything. Dragging items to the side (like dock or finder windows does not remove an item. The delete key is useless and cmd+delete brings up the switcher.

It sure is easy to create a bunch of duplicates of the same dock, which then serve no purpose.

In the dockyard multiple apps and folders show up as question marks... why? they are are and have been there.

This app needs to bug tested and the editing feature overhauled.

I wish I could use this so I could try it out. It seems like a good way to unclutter the dock for specific tasks. (Virtual Docks, ala virtual desktops).

(10.4.7 on an upgraded digital audio G4 tower.)  
(Version 1.0.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  downloading a new copy of R-name and trashing the prefs (r-name.plist) solved my problems with 10.4.7.

Working again... and I am stoked. Tried 7 other free renaming apps and they no where near as powerful and easy to use as R-Name.

WAHOO!  
(Version 3.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  This was my favorite free utility of all time (right up there with pdf Lab).

unfortunatly, his website is gone. i don't think there will be any more support :(

I am having trouble with R-Name in 10.4.7.  
(Version 3.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  A Free, Cross-Platform, Bonjour-Aware, CUPS-based PDF Generator

SupaPDF Lite extends your Mac's native PDF generation capability to all your Parallels Windows and Linux VMs, as well as any other CUPS/Bonjour-aware machine in your local network for that matter.

SupaPDF Lite leverages a panoply of OS X capabilities: CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), Quartz, Bonjour, Automator and Folder Actions are all transparently combined to allow headache-free PDF generation to the local network.

And it does this without requiring you to install any software on any of the client machines. Just configure it as if its a regular shared Postscript printer.  
(Version 1.3)

PEANUT BUTTER  did you set it up correctly? When done correctly, incremental backup will only add new data. I have set this up hundreds of times for thousands of mac/pcs in workgroups or for individuals.

(there are many issues with retrospect, but it DOES do incremental backup)

As for the speed, going from your local drive to another HD, you should see anywhere from 100-400MB/min (lots of factors, speed of drives, host and client computers, network, compression.) This is really slow compared to 30-60MB/sec speeds of the HD. Yet, even at 100MB/min, that's 6GB/hr and should only take 3hrs for 18GB, not all night.  
(Version 6.1.6.100)

PEANUT BUTTER  Can't get a Tiger (10.4.6) Mac to connect to a Panther (10.3.9) Calendar.

(Panther can use Tiger's calendar)

Tiger can see the Panther "User", but when I refresh list, or click on the user name, it gives this error, "Error Getting Calendars: There was an error fetching list of calendars, can't connect to host, URL:hhtp://.local.:24080/index.plist"

Firewall turned off on both Macs. It can see that the panther calendar is there. Panther connects to Tiger calendar correctly. Passwords turned off on both Macs (and of course digest authentication off).

I tried a number of different settings, turning on and off the firewalls, using different ports, etc. Nothing worked.

Any thoughts???  
(Version 1.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  2.0 would crash each time I added files (10.3.9) after many months of perfect use.

So i updated to 2.0.2 and it chokes when outputing pdf files created in Excel (office 2004) and some other random pdf files.

Error message, "Processing Error: For some unknown reason PDFLab is unable to complete the process. Please hit cancel to close this window and try to retrieve the created PDF file from the Finder."

The app opens up the temp folder and presents me with the "pdfoutput.pdf" file, which has worked everytime. A bit of an inconvenince.

I still rate this a 4.5+ (and also donated to the author).

(Version 2.0)

PEANUT BUTTER  Within 30 seconds I could confirm that this little utitlity was 5 stars.

Great tool......

it's quick, small, and flexible. I like that I can adjust # of recent contacts, turn off the alphabetical list or groups, and change sort by dispay order.

Very useful that I can launch AB from the menu. Recent contacts are very useful, something AB doesn't have.

Bonus: I can make a new contact from the menu, and edit contacts without opening AB.

Everything works with or without AB launched!

WANTS: to be able to adjust the location of the menu item, not critical, but I prefer it closer to the calender, or at least further from the HELP menu in apps that have lots of menus. (menu meters, a 3rd party app can do this, even though many 3rd party cannot.)

(I can't speak about stability - only used it now for 10 minutes)  
(Version 2.1.3)

PEANUT BUTTER  Dude, look at the requirements before posting....

REQUIREMENTS

Mac OS X 10.0 or later,

----> Quake 1 (shareware or retail version).  
(Version 1.1)

PEANUT BUTTER  slow...feels like a java app.

With 4-5 tabs open it really slows down, and when it gets slow it crashes.

I have now crashed a fresh install about 10 times. When I use it I have to be mindful of not going to quickly, as the app will become overwhelmed and confused.

It's pricey, but if it was rock solid, with a zippy interface, it would be worth it.  
(Version 10.0i)

PEANUT BUTTER  Visual Route does at least one very useful thing that network utility does not....

plotting traceroutes and saving data. this is very useful for watching a certain router over a period of time, rather than just seeing if something can be pinged.
