PERSON1229  Yet another screenshot app with an even less-mac interface?

We have too many as it is, if you couldn't figure out cmd-shift-4 (built into your system, people!)

and let us know on success. :-)

"mac less UI" ;-) open your eyes - CaptureIt! interface is innovate, the program did receive the Apple Stuff Pick status on Apple Site and compatible with AHIG up to 95%.

HOFMAN  It may also mean that some people have suggested Xcode from the page of the other apps.

It seems that "other people suggest" can either mean that someone has suggested the other app from this page, or that they've suggested this app from the other apps page. Makes no sense to me, but that's the only way I can explain the strict symmetry between the number of 'suggestions' from one app to the other and the other way around. Just follow any of the links and compare for the suggestions on that page. Works for any review on MU.

Ask yourself: "Is a developer who uses unscrupulous tactics to mask their program with a false rating really in it for the user?"

The choice is yours. I'd go with Onyx personally.

MacDust
Apr 20 2009

PERSON1229  I looked up Cache Out, it doesn't do anywhere close to as much as MacDust does.

Cache Out also requires admin authentication, which MacDust does not - because MacDust is more safe. MacDust is meant to clean out local files and save you space, not clean out system files.

I also looked up AppleJack. That's not even close to what MacDust is for.

Please stop going around giving everyone who makes shareware negative ratings.

PERSON1229  Honestly, Comic Sans?

I am so horrified that the screenshot on MU is actually up to date, I figured it might have been old/outdated - but no the interface is that bad.

Also, why limit the date search range? That's just unfair, what if someone doesn't want to upgrade to the latest version, but it's after 2012? There are far better ways to manage dates - dropdown menus are not the most efficient for that cause.

Looking at the ZAP window for AppZapper I'm also seeing 14 preference files. How unorthodox can this get? I'm glad I don't actually need this program.

This needs an interface efficiency makeover, it would make it easier to use, easier to read, and not turn away so many people at the sight of the screenshots.

When you Reset Safari, you deleted all preferences, all bookmarks, everything.

Because you Reset Safari.

This was no fault of MacDust, but a lack of understanding by what the word RESET means.

MacHeist had the same issue, which is why in 3.02 the wording was changed.

MacDust did NOT permanently set your cookie settings, you just kept erasing what you had set as the settings.

****.

PERSON1229  This is a great app. I got it on MUPromo for a great price, I don't think I'd buy it for it's full price.

It's a better way to load PayPal data in public because you don't need your password to log on. You can just open it, look through and search through transactions - even find them without internet. It's stability could use some help, I've had a few crashes - though it's still great. They should make a mobile version (iPhone) because the PayPal app for iPhone requires you to enter your password every time... I use 1Password, I can't really remember it.

PERSON1229  Not all version 2 licenses were eligible for free upgrades to MacDust 3. Any license purchased during or after February 2008 (to the best of my ability, I might have missed some) were added to the automatic upgrade list.

If you have your MacDust 2 license installed, an Upgrade tab should be available on the opening nag screen, this tab will allow you to connect to the internet and check for your upgrade license.

If you believe your license was eligible for the free upgrade and the online check did not return anything, you are more than welcome to email me. My email address is on the About window for the app.

PERSON1229  MacDust never deleted System Receipts, it deleted your local ones - which are in fact safe to remove, but this feature was removed due to confusion.

There aren't any other free apps that clean out your torrents, MacDust doesn't delete the content you downloaded via torrent, it deletes the .torrent that many torrent applications such as Azureus keep unnecessary copies around.

Very few of the Other category can be done by any other application.

Many people feel more secure with Shareware than Freeware because Shareware is a product, it is much more heavily tested and solid than freeware. Not everything in life is free, so just get over it. Just because you _think_ there are free alternatives doesn't mean there are. MacDust is on top of the other system cleaning apps, for price and useful features.

That happens all the time. Why should this developer be singled out, unless he is outright stealing code/someone's UI? I just don't see a convincing argument here.

PERSON1229  Wow, this hasn't gotten a review in a while.

I suppose having control externally would be a good thing to have... several versions ago.

And anyone complaining about not being able to play iTunes songs, I hope you don't ever perform with iTunes purchased songs. Even iTunes Plus songs are nowhere near the right quality to perform with. iTunes songs sound like crap coming out of big speakers.

It's a very good thing iTunes songs don't work.

Traktor
Apr 21 2008

DA-LA  @ person1229

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "I suppose having control externally would be a good thing to have...", but since you seem to know what you are talking about, I assume that you mean that Native Instruments don't manufacture an external MIDI controller for Traktor.

I've heard similar thoughts from other Traktor users and while I agree that this argument has some merit, I do not entirely agree.

Why, you might ask? It's simple really. Traktor is a feature packed "beast" and as such, has a wide variety of users, where each one might use all or maybe just some features.

For instance, as I always use an external mixer I have absolutely no need for an external controller with a mixer section (which would make the controller bulkier/heavier/more expensive). Other users use nothing but the internal mixer and wouldn't look twice at a controller without a mixer section.

Meanwhile, other users rely heavily on scratching during their performances. I, on the other hand, only scratch when I have an itch somewhere ;-)

I could go on and on with more examples but I'm sure you get my drift.

I believe that building the perfect Traktor controller is an impossible task considering the wide user base and the different needs of the users and I completely understand NI for not offering one.

(The only "universal" controllers, and I use that term very carefully, that I have seen is the Lemur - http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemur_overview.php, and the Mawzer - http://mawzer.com/. But the Lemur require a winning Lottery ticket and the Mawzer is still, after several years, vaporware. Sigh...)

Presently, there are about a gazillion MIDI controllers on the market. Trust me, I have counted them ;-)

Each one with it's strengths as well as it's flaws. You need to find one that is right for you and your needs.

Personally, I still haven't found one that is exactly "right" for my needs so I muddle through with a combination of an external mixer, the keyboard of my laptop and an Oxygen8v2 MIDI keyboard.

DHUFFORD  This can be useful however. If you use Spotlight in Leopard, you can just use keyboard shortcuts to open Spotlight, type in lock, and hit enter, and that, to me, could potentially be much quicker than using the mouse to go up to the Fast User Switching icon. If you don't use fast user switching, these seems still faster than using the Keychain Access equivalent.

We might be talking in milliseconds, but I know that most of the time my hands are on the keyboard, so anything that I can do to use shortcuts is faster to me.

Waiting until the screen saver comes on isn't really effective either. If you want to lock your computer immediately from surrounding people (like in a residence hall in college) you don't want to wait 5 minutes or whatever for your screen saver to come on.

RC  The souped up original iMac (Bondi Blue) has a replacement 266 Mhz processor, 512 MB of RAM, a combo drive and a 120 GB HD. This is "souped up" for this machine.

I never implied that I would be running Leopard on this. What I said was that I was running the latest Tiger on this even though this machine is supposedly unsupported for that version of the OS. Although my modifications were not drastic, It still runs Tiger just fine. I did have to take out the HD, use another "supported" machine to install Tiger and re-install the HD. Tedious but now I can run the lates version of Transmission (which is Tiger only) and use this as a dedicated bittorent machine. This is all what I wanted Tiger for. I don't really care if I dont get Core Image or Core Audio, I just want my software to run.

If Apple did not put hardware checks in their OS and just posted minimum requirements, I would not have to have gone through all this rigamarole just to install Tiger. And hey, if my setup acts wonky, I have no cause to complain because my machine is "not supported" but at least I have the option to try.

DNELSON  There is a reason they don't allow it -- it's to avoid lawsuits. They do it because they _can't_ guarantee that the computer is supported. In example: a user with a G3, installs it and either ruins their computer or loses their data. They could sue Apple because of the loss, AND that they weren't blocked from installing it in the first place.

Some people could be lucky, and the installation would be successful. Also, someone might successfully install it, and it would run really slow (they also might sue for that). On the other hand, someone could install and have happen what I described in the previous paragraph.

Also, Leopard requires a newer graphics card than most (if not all) G3s or G4s have. Those computers simply could not run Leopard.

In summary, that is most likely why Apple blocked older computers.

PETER DA SILVA  That's not consistent: there were a lot of machines Jaguar and even Panther were supported on that had the old Grackle bridge chips. OSX and the Grackle have never gotten along well, and there have been spectacular failures. On the other hand, Leopard is supported on systems that have the same components as unsupported systems, except for the processor clock speed.

The choice of supported systems is, like much of what Apple does, all politics and marketing. How much of the user base will they lose if they dump support for this system or that system? What story will people buy? Will they remember us telling the opposite story five years, four years, two years, one year ago? Probably not.

Apple does a lot of stuff really well, and that's why I use their kit, but I don't make the mistake of assuming they've got my interests in mind, or that they've even got a good technical reason for anything they do. Public companies just can't act that way. Hell, that would be a breach of their fiduciary duties to the stockholders.

PERSON1229  The game quickly gets very old. After less than several shots, you are able to determine the timing based on the rotation of the spinner exactly when to let the ball go and know exactly where it will stop. Every time. There is no variation in the game.

I commend it's followabillity though. I have a tough time following the ball around the Little Wing boards, I can't tell exactly why though (which is driving me insane).

This mini-game is certainly not worth $9.95, but I would consider purchasing if the board was a wee bit more complicated. Guarenteed sale if the board becomes more constructed, and this appears either on Promo or ZOT.

PERSON1229  If you're into app switching a lot, try Apple-Tab.

Trampoline is a great app launcher, but I find Apple-Tab works a lot better for switching through already open apps.

PERSON1229  Aie, everyone's always mad at the people who make shareware. They think that just because it has a price tag, it's the wrong way to go.

CosmoPod looks like a really good idea, and is well worth the small asking price.

Look at the screenshot for starters - neither Onyx nor Cocktail do any of that...

Then there's the torrent apps cleaning

Also the more controlled browser cleaning.

MacDust isn't perfect, and there's always more to add, so I'd love to hear suggestions!

Dave, you haven't even tried MacDust (it's not even on your recently downloaded apps, you haven't even looked into giving it a shot!), you can't say that you know everything it does! MacDust does many things it's free, and even it's shareware competitors can't!

PERSON1229  Actually, that's a very bad way to do it.

1) some people don't have a mighty mouse

2) that adds extra files that a windows computer _will_ see and it doesn't look too professional.

I personally enjoy CocoaZip.

PERSON1229  I can't believe how dumb some people really are. Reading other reviews from versions PRIOR TO 1.0! and then writing their own WITHOUT trying the software?

You can't even download the versions that did that anymore!

And it's not /Library/Receipts for the last time, it _was_ ~/Library/Receipts which is in fact, perfectly safe to remove.

I can almost guarantee I've been using Mac longer than you, MacGurl so please don't question my knowledge of how things work.

PERSON1229  I have listened to the people.

More than one user (I have no idea what they were thinking) told me that they don't trust freeware to clean their computer.

Five dollars is all I ask, it isn't much, I don't see why people are making such a big deal over it. Many people have told me that it's quite the deal for the level of support and the constant (free) updates.

PERSON1229  MacDust does not do system maintainance cleaning by running the scripts included with Mac OS X by apple. MacDust cleans specific applications in a specialized way. MacDust is not, and should not be used for system maintainance. MacDust is designed for cleaning up after specific applications.

DNELSON  How about freeware? This $5 thing is unnecessary! Listen to these people! They expect more out of freeware, let alone SHAREWARE!!!

I loved the little application UNTIL it turned shareware.

DNELSON  True. But, for us who want maintenance and aren't old enough for a credit card, etc. can't buy any of these products. Freeware is just as good, and if you think so too, so these people by making a really good product without charge! There are MANY GREAT freeware programs!

DNELSON  I'd love a license, but it'd be wasted on me. I already have TinkerTool System (about $9) and it already does the stuff that MacDust does (as far as the browsers and caches) and more. Of course I had to have someone else buy the license for me...

One catchy name I thought up is "MacVac" instead of "MacDust". Your choice, but as far as I know it's not taken. I wanted to come up with kind of a freeware version of MacDust, but I don't have the smarts.

For what it says it's going to do, and does, 5 stars.

PERSON1229  MacDust will never delete anything from the computer that a normal user will not have access to. It will only delete receipts in your local user ~/Library/Reciepts folder. Which most of the time, for lack of a better word, is filled with crap.

I do agree, /Library/Recipets should not be emptied.
