It is written in java, therefore suits all platforms. |
|
Here too. iMac Intel 10.4.11 |
|
I think this application is redundant - Just open Activity Monitor, select Dock under Process Name and then click on Quit Process. This will reset the Dock. |
|
If you listen to internet radio, music, etc., using VLC whilst you're falling asleep - download App QuitTimer. |
|
Redundant application Just go to Safari>Preferences>Advanced and tick "Show Develop menu in menu bar." |
|
I've downloaded the new installer and tested the player on: http://www.itma.vt.edu/tech/shockwave.htm and it seems to work fine. Many thanks!!! |
|
If you listen to internet radio, music, etc., using Songbird whilst you're falling asleep - download App QuitTimer. |
|
When attempting to view a Shockwave movie an error is displayed - "Missing Shockwave Decompression XTRA". iMac Intel 10.4.11 |
|
You select the first item and then you shift-click on the last item, thus selecting the whole batch. |
|
If you listen to internet radio, music, etc., using MPlayer whilst you're falling asleep - download App QuitTimer. |
|
Many thanks for fixing the bug. |
|
I totally agree. In addition, if you don't want to have userswitching in the menu bar - download SuspendSession. |
|
The same "AppleScript Error" - The problem I mentioned below still exists. |
|
The application quits on launch - something that didn't happen with the previous version. iMac Intel 10.4.11 |
|
Many thanks for fixing the problem I mentioned below. |
|
IT IS PERFECT NOW!!! Thank you very much for sorting out the issues I mentioned below. I've released BatchReformat'em which batch converts images to other formats. PDF2Image and BatchReformat'em complement each other as the former converts a multiple paged PDF file to images - page by page - in various formats and the latter converts a batch of single page PDF files to images in various formats. |
|
The best iTunes controller Many, many thanks to the developer for implementing the feature I mentioned below - now iTunes is being opened in "Hide" mode. |
|
What about support for Tiger? |
|
If you listen to internet radio, music, etc., using QuickTime whilst you're falling asleep - download App QuitTimer. |
|
If you listen to internet radio using RealPlayer whilst you're falling asleep - download App QuitTimer. |
|
If you listen to internet radio, music, etc., using VLC whilst you're falling asleep - download App QuitTimer. |
|
Other applications that can do it rapidly are BatchResize'em and ResizeIt. |
|
Works as described. Many thanks. |
|
Five stars are for perfect applications whatever they are. Normally beta applications are not perfect by definition. |
|
How can anybody give five stars to a beta application? Just thank the developer for thinking of us and be patient. Hopefully the time will come for a five star rating. |
|
Thanks for your speedy reply and for considering the suggested feature. I think the best idea would be a list with checkboxes next to each page. I also noticed that you don't have an icon for your application so I have made one for you but don't have your email address. If you would like to email me at rorocash@googlemail.com I will send it to you. |
|
Thank you for that. Would it also be possible to add a feature allowing the user to select which pages to convert? Then the user would not have to convert a whole, large PDF document if they only wanted a few pages. |
|
Works as described for JPEG. All images black for BMP. Dark grey background for all other formats (when original PDF's pages backgrounds is white). iMac Intel 10.4.11 |
|
It is not even fun. There is nothing there. I really can't understand why so many people downloaded this widget. I bet they are all men who then trashed it. |
|
This application helped me enormously to create and release Folders - Full Set. Many thanks. |
|
I decided to develop and release such a "sister application" myself - App QuitTimer. |
|
WHY PAY? Alarm Clock is the best alarm clock application and it is free. The only problem - it is not compatible with Leopard, yet. |
|
It seems this happens if the script file is moved to another location after quitting the application. Instead of showing this error, the application should ask for the file. |
|
No, no ... I'm aware that installer.app requests root privileges to install in many instances and, in these cases, the alert states that installer.app is requesting that you enter your password (without requesting your administrator name) in order to install. I'm talking about something else, here. As I was being guided through the installation and reached the last stage and clicked on "install", a window was displayed stating that I have to enter name & password of an administrator so that changes could be made to Installer.app. It seems, however, that the developer has fixed the issue as I downloaded & installed this package today without having this problem. |
|
Changes to Installer.app? The downloaded package wants to make changes to the utility Installer.app and I can't understand why. When clicking "install" a window is displayed asking you to enter name & password of an administrator in order to make changes to Installer.app |
|
I really can't see the benefit of this application. Instead of clicking on this application icon just click on the icon of Activity Monitor application, select the process and click on "Quit Process" button. |
|
Please email me at rorocash@googlemail.com to discuss this further. |
|
Nice idea but ... it should countdown! |
|
How can this be useful? |
|
1. Alert dialog when quitting manually or automatically. 2. Displays "Error" when launching the application saying that the selected AppleScript file, which was used in the previous session, being suddenly invalid and then crashhhh. Happens with both - text and compiled scripts which have the correct extensions. iMac Intel 10.4.11 |
|
SUCH A GREAT APPLICATION !!! Works as described. The developer was thinking about making it a widget - please don't wast your time as everyone would use the "Quit automatically" option which doesn't suit a widget. I wish the developer would create a sister application which would be able to quit any application after a certain amount of time. This would be especially useful for quitting VLC and the likes when listening to internet radio that iTunes doesn't support. Many, many thanks. |
|
Install Xcode which comes with tiger installation disc. It includes Core Image Fun House.app which has all the tools. The only drawback is the size of Xcode - 2.4GB !!! |
|
Say.app does the same job and has a size of only 136KB unzipped. You can also use a simple Automator action to do just that. |
|
If you are not happy with this application download Buddi which is the best free personal finance application. Go to: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22468/buddi |
|
You can simply save flash files directly from Safari's Activity window - double click the file and it will open up in a new window then save it. You can also do that using Firefox if you have the free VideoDownloader Extension installed. |
|
If you don't have Leopard don't be disappointed - Do It 2.6 (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23282/do-it) works on Tiger and it is the best free "to do" application. |
|
What are the advantages of this application over iChat? |
|
FOX 5 News doesn't work |
|
The only benefit is: "Enhances the trailers by allowing HD in either 720p or 480p". I have an iMac Intel 10.4.11 and it is very easy to access Front Row via the keyboard - Command+Esc to activate, arrows and Return to navigate, Esc to go back, any key to exit. For a full list go to Finder>Help. |
|
Show Hide Invisible files.app has both functions in one. |
|
THE BEST FREE PERSONAL FINANCE APPLICATION !!! I'm very grateful to the developer for making this application perfect by fixing all the issues, adding features and hitting all the little buggies on the head :-) Buddi is better then the professional accounting applications as far as personal finance is concerned, after all who needs profit & loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement for home use. |
|
I agree. It is difficult to write using the mouse. |
|
A MUST HAVE! Especially for the search for update tool. |
|
I think it would be better to download DashboardSwitch (http://braintrigger.com/software/DashboardSwitch/)-a small application which has two functions in one. |
|
NEARLY PERFECT CONSUMER is absolutely right. If the developer would add the two features he suggested, this application would be perfect and the best of it's kind. |
|
Many thanks to the developer for such a lovely widget. Works exactly as described. |
|
TAKE CARE!!! The previous version was Freeware but this one is Demo. |
|
AppleScript Error It shows an error message - "NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1)" - on whatever you click. You can't even quit the application by clicking Quit in the menu bar or C+Q. iMac Intel 10.4.11 |
|
Doesn't work on iMac Intel 10.4.11. The developer states in his website that it should work on other OSX systems apart from Leopard. |
|
I put both in Screen Savers folder but still doesn't work. |
|
Doesn't work also on iMac Intel 10.4.11 |
|
THE BEST FREE BATCH RESIZER Many thanks to the developer for fixing the problem I mentioned below. I've tried all the application's functions using 200 photos and all work fine. The speed is amazing. Although more features would be welcome - as I wrote below - it is obvious from the application's name that they would be "extras". |
|
There are four other alternatives to view lyrics: Sing That iTune! - in Dashboard. FetchYourLyrics - in an application window. DesktopLyrics - directly on the desktop without a window. Cover Version - in an iTunes Visualizer. The decision is yours! |
|
This package installs "PDF Booklet" Automator action in HD/Library/Automator and "PDF create Booklet" workflow in HD/Library/PDF Services. However, if you have an older version it will not replace these items so you must trash them manually beforehand. |
|
The best application for finding lyrics is FetchYourLyrics and it is also universal. |
|
Thanks to the developer. Now we have four alternative places to view lyrics (apart from iTunes/File/Get Info/Lyrics): This widget - in Dashboard. FetchYourLyrics - in an application window. DesktopLyrics - directly on the desktop without a window. Cover Version - in an iTunes Visualizer. The decision is yours! |
|
Thank you very much for your reply. It is also possible to move this widget, like any other one, from the widget bar to the desktop by clicking and holding the widget in the bar, pressing the F12 key and then releasing the mouse button (for other users - the next time you prompt the dashboard, the widget is swept back into the dashboard layer). The problem with both methods - DevMode widget & the one I have described here - is that the surrounding lights appear above the menu bar and even above the Dock. However, your suggestion is perfect for hanging lights. |
|
I'm sure it would be appreciated by all users if the developer could add an option for surrounding lights like Festive Lights widget. This would make this application perfect. |
|
Read the included Readme and then download Festive Lights widget. This widget comes with two light sets but you can download more through it. The light sets you will find in User/Library/Application Support/Festive Lights/Lightsets are folders containing "on" and "off" sets of bulbs in .png image format. This should give you an interesting idea! |
|
Use this widget if you want to decorate the Dashboard. For those of us who want to decorate the desktop - download MacLampsX for surrounding lights or/and XMasLights for hanging lights. The light sets in User/Library/Application Support/Festive Lights/Lightsets are folders containing "on" and "off" sets of bulbs in .png image format. You can download more through the widget. Read XMasLights's Readme - it should give you an interesting idea! |
|
AVOID THIS APPLICATION! ResizeIt 2.0.1 size is only 296 KB and it has more features, e.g. saving in different formats, than this application the size of which is about 8 MB. I also didn't like the email feature which require you to put in your mail server details, email address and your password - why that? The email button should simply open your default email application. Something is fishy here. |
|
Works fine on my iMac Intel 10.4.11. Thank you, developer, for making it compatible with tiger again. |
|
I think this application is invaluable especially at the workplace when you are the only user of the computer. |
|
Just noticed three small problems: 1. Sometimes using search isn't successful for whatever reason, so obviously the user will utilise another method to find the lyrics. However, once the lyrics have been found, it is impossible to manually paste them into the edit window because an alert pops up telling you there aren't lyrics for the song and asking you to search first. Of course, it is possible to paste the lyrics directly into iTunes but I it would be more convenient if the application were to allow this type of pasting. 2. If you close the main window in error by clicking the red close button you can't reopen it unless you relaunch the application. The main window and the search window should both be listed under "Window" in the menu bar permenantly and when one or both of them is open a tick should appear in front of its name. 3. If you zoom the search window you cannot make it smaller again by clicking zoom, unlike the main window. ... but it's still the best application of its kind! |
|
ONLY DONATIONS WILL HELP - NOT EMAILS REQUESTING NEWER VERSIONS As I mentioned in the "Description" on this page and in the ReadMe, donations would be required for further versions. Unfortunately, I have only received a total of $18 from five kind users ... out of 84,000 downloads at the time of writing! So please donate to enable me to support and update this product. |
|
Thank you very much. |
|
Just one small thing ... the open app shows the name qtimgsortv2 instead of ImageSorter in its menu bar. |
|
This is a brilliant idea but it should be built as an ordinary application and not a widget. The reasons are: 1. Prompting the Dashboard display all the widgets so one have to quit them all. 2. Even if you quit all the widget the dock still shows. The application should have a full screen mode so the display would not sleep. |
|
When I use the Border facility to draw a border around a .png image and set it to save as a .png, the app changes the transparent background into a solid black colour. Using iMac Intel 10.4.10. |
|
If you are not happy with this application try Audio Recorder. It's freeware and I'm very happy using it. |
|
It would be great if the developer could add two features: 1. Ability to draw borders like PicMark. 2. The "make sequential" and "Add Text" features of the Automator action "Rename Finder Items". |
|
I can't find your email address. |
|
This application - as the developer states in "About NovoIcons" - is based on Iconverter. It is in fact a Leopard version of Iconverter which in itself is suitable for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. I also would like to recommend FastIcns which is extremely useful. |
|
MAGIC Thank you ever so much. I was waiting for such an application. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because if you tick "Overwrite Files" the application quits. In reply to the previous posting - it does batch processing. Just select multiple images. |
|
Thank you for your speedy reply. Some users might find this application useful but the ones who are familiar with Automator would probably use "Change Type of Images" action if they happen to take a bunch of screenshots. This action can be saved as an handy Automator application of course. |
|
... but we can do it easily using "Save As..." in Preview. What are the benefits of this application? |
|
WORKS AS DESCRIBED Many thanks for this useful tool. |
|
IS THIS APPLICATION A JOKE? I really can't understand how it can be useful. |
|
THE BEST CALCULATOR Thank you very much, developer, for this gift. |
|
IT IS PERFECT NOW Many thanks to the developer who reacted within hours to my preceding comments re. the previous version. |
|
DEFICIENT The problem of this visualizer is that it only displays lyrics written in roman letters - otherwise, it would have been a five stars! |
|
Why not simply use "Change Type of Images" Automator action? |
|
I don't understand why - it works perfectly on my iMac Intel 10.4.10. Send a detailed email to the developer. This it truly the best application of it's kind. |
|
A CRUCIAL ELEMENT IS MISSING The developer should realize that the only purpose of installing an application like this one, is to use and control iTunes without seeing it's face i.e. it must open iTunes in "Hide" and have an additional menu item "Show iTunes" to enable the user to toggle. Otherwise we can simply launch iTunes from the dock and control it through itself! It is really a make or break situation. |
|
ANOTHER THING... The templates should be categorized into groups on the window, e.g. birthday,xmas etc. |
|
We can add text & an image but not an audio file. Is it possible for the developer to make this application perfect by allowing the addition of audio? |
|
FORGET IT! FetchYourLyrics is the best application for this purpose and it is free. |
|
Only one problem - "Full Screen" is not as it's name suggest but it is in fact full screen window. This is significant when you set System Preferences/Energy Saver/Sleep to put the display to sleep when inactive for a specified amount of time. In full screen - as opposed to full screen window - the display doesn't go to sleep. |
|
BackLight 2.0 has the best features but, unfortunately, it doesn't work on iMac Intel. |
|
WORKS SELECTIVELY ON iMAC INTEL 10.4.10 For example does the job with Skyrocket.saver but cannot stop plasq - urban texture.saver |
|
You can also record yourself singing, e.g. "happy birthday to you", using Audio Recorder and place the audio file directly above the card in the email. |
|
A MUST HAVE! It's amazing & works as described. |
|
FOR MORE TEMPLATES ... Google images, e.g. for "birthday", download and resize to 640x400. Put the resized images in user/library/PhotoCard/templates |
|
MANY THANKS Developer, thanks a lot for a very useful application. |
|
THE BEST ONE Very fast, efficient & useful. |
|
GOOGLE EMPIRE BUILDING ON YOUR COMPUTER The installer also installs: Google Updater application in the Applications folder and another one in the main library. The Updater application puts many files and folders in a few places in the user's library - Application Support, Caches & Preferences. Why have all of this complexity? We just want the Google Notifier application with "Check for updates" menu item. |
|
REPLY TO KC_CHEIFS Buddi plug-ins are not created by it's developer. If you would use Buddi without them it will never crash. I have been using it for the last few months on my iMac Intel 10.4.10 - without the plug-ins - and it never crashed. You should not import data from your bank account into a personal finance application as this defeat the purpose of bank account management. Bank account management means entering the every day transactions you make, e.g. issuing a cheque, into the personal finance application and then when the bank sends you a statement, reconciling the entries in the application with those on the statement. Buddi is a double entry application so if, for example, you want to transfer money between bank accounts you record the transaction once and it post it to both accounts, debiting one and crediting the other. In buddi, you can create unlimited income and expense accounts and thus, categories your incomes and expenses. The current version of Buddi is the best free personal finance application. |
|
When you are talking to someone on Skype (with or without video) other contacts who have not noticed your status is set to "busy" can still ring you. This is very annoying. Sending a text in this situation, obviously, isn't a problem. The developers should make it impossible to call you when you're already talking to someone else, like with iChat. |
|
INDISPENSABLE If you use web fetch mail programs like Gmail, Yahoo! mail, Hotmail etc. in addition to Apple Mail, this application is a must have. The great thing about it is: when you shift-click on "Contact Us" in a website, on "Send Email" in the Address Book, on "Compose Mail" in Google Notifier etc. - a small window appears on your desktop where you can choose to use either Apple Mail or anyone of your web fetch mail programs. I'm writing this because I'm very surprised to see the small number of downloads and I can only assume it is due to ignorance. |
|
This is what I wrote about version 2.2.3. See my review on version 2.6.1. You are free to download whatever you want but seriously Buddy is the best one. |
|
I can't understand why people fell in love with this application - Buddi IS the best free & simple personal finance application |
|
It is not an application - it is simply an archive containing folder icons which can be opened using Stuffit Expander. The included Read Me file contains full instructions. |
|
MANY THANKS! This is what I was looking for. The transparent window is in fact the big advantage. The developer should add "launch iTunes automatically" to Preferences to make the application even better. |
|
SPELL CHECK I would be very grateful if the developer would add "spelling" to the Edit menu. |
|
PERFECT AND VERY USEFUL Many thanks to the developer. Cheers!!! |
|
PRETTY USELESS. What we need is to be able to choose a location from a drop down menu which will then automatically show the time zone, latitude and longitude of the location. It would be even better if the user could edit such a menu. If this is too much for a widget to store, let it fetch the information from worldclockr.com. Clearly, if one knows the time zone of a location then one knows the time there which, in turn, makes this widget redundant. |
|
Use Dock Dodger to prevent the application icon appearing in the dock. |
|
WORK VERY WELL. |
|
