SJHA  Continues to work in Snow Leopard!  
(Version 3.0)

SJHA  I am delighted to find that this latest version of Lilypond now supports Leopard and Snow Leopard - well done and thanks to the developers!  
(Version 2.13.4-1)

SJHA  I find Swift Publisher 2 to be a superb DTP programme. I have used it for various tasks including production of posters and of greetings cards and it is a joy to use. Its integration with ArtText is an excellent feature. And for me the programme has been rock solid. Highly recommended!  
(Version 2.3.2)

SJHA  SafariBlock works fine for me with Safari 4.0.3 and OSX 10.5.8  
(Version 4.0.3)

SJHA  I use Bookpedia regularly to keep track of my books which are distributed among four different places. I have nothing but praise for this application. It is fast and stable, importing is quick and simple, and the programme is customisable to suit the user's preferences. A five-star product!  
(Version 4.5)

SJHA  Bean has made it possible for me finally to accept the loss of WriteNow! A brilliant programme - congratulations to the developer.  
(Version 2.3)

SJHA  I also had the problem of a hang at the log-in window.   
(Version 2.1.3)

SJHA  I'd be grateful if you could describe in a bit more detail how to convert the .dmg to a read/write one. I couldn't see how to do this using Disk Utility.  
(Version 2.1.1)

SJHA  Does this sentence from Adobe's description inspire confidence in the Mac user?

"Acrobat integrates directly with your Web browser, so if you come across a PDF document on the Web, you can view it directly from within your Netscape or Internet Explorer browser window."  
(Version 9.1)

SJHA  But if you follow the procedure described by Norbert Doerner in the Google Earth MacUpdate comments you can run Picasa without the evil GoogleSoftwareUpdater being re-installed.  
(Version 3.0.3.363)

SJHA  But if you follow Norbert Doerner's procedure Picasa seems to run without the SoftwareUpdater being re-installed  
(Version 5.0.11337.1968 )

SJHA  After running the uninstalle,r does subsequently opening Google Earth and/or Picasa re-install the Updater files?  
(Version 5.0.11337.1968 )

SJHA  Excellent post - thank you for this tip! This method of disabling the obnoxious GoogleSoftwareUpdater seems also to work with Picasa.  
(Version 5.0.11337.1968 )

SJHA  Note that this version of Google Earth installs the Google Software Updater.  
(Version 5.0.11337.1968 )

SJHA  I am very impressed with this application. Having tried a number of genealogy applications this was the only freeware one that imported properly from a GEDCOM file (one that several non-free applications could not cope with). Highly recommended.  
(Version 83)

SJHA  This seems a potentially useful application. But I couldn't find any way to add error bars to the graphs. That would rule it out for much scientific data presentation if this facility is not available.  
(Version 3.3)

SJHA  Good point! Some time ago I wanted to remove Google Desktop Agent from my computer as I felt it was causing a slow-down. I found 119 files that I needed to get rid of!  
(Version 3.0.1.321)

SJHA  And I am still using Toast 5 (!) which works fine under OSX 10.5.6  
(Version 10)

SJHA  I didn't mean to sound unappreciative of your helpful comment. Indeed I think it was important to point Leopard users to the work-around that you mention since it does allow them to use Lilypond albeit in a somewhat roundabout way. I am just disappointed that one of my favourite programmes still does not have full Leopard compatibility.  
(Version 2.12.1-1)

SJHA  Yes I am aware of this work-around. But that is what it is - just a work-around. And what concerns me is that it is now nearly 12 months since it was reported that Lilypond did not work under Leopard and we still have to use a work-around.  
(Version 2.12.1-1)

SJHA  I am a great fan of Lilypond which produces beautiful music sheets. However I am concerned that the development of the Mac versions is becoming less than satisfactory. Firstly there is still no version of Lilypond that will run under Leopard. Secondly both the 2.11 and 2.12 versions produce error messages on my Macbook under OSX 10.4.11 - indeed I couldn't get version 2.12.1-1 to produce any output. I have had to revert to version 2.10.33-1   
(Version 2.12.1-1)

SJHA  The previous version I tried had no "Quit" menu item - the current version has a non-functional "New..." menu item. Come on developer - please do more testing before release

iBook PowerPC 750, OSX 10.4.11  
(Version 1.7)

SJHA  This version looked more promising as a video upload seemed to go to completion. However during the completing upload process the following error message appeared:-

[Line 1, Column 585, element gphoto:timestamp] Text content must be non-negative: -2082844800000 (status 400)

Whatever this means, the result is that I still can't upload videos to my Picas web albums.  
(Version 1.2.1.484)

SJHA  I am unable to upload .mp4 videos using the standalone Picas Web Albums Uploader. After around 1MB has uploaded the error message "An error prevented uploading from completing. Error NSURLErrorDomain -1" appears.

Using the iPhoto plug-in the Upload option is dimmed if I select an .mp4 video.

This is disappointing as I was hoping at last to be able to upload videos to my Picas Albums.  
(Version 1.2.0.476)

SJHA  This is an excellent little application that does what it sets out to do very well. (And how refreshing to have an application that is only 208 kB in size!)  
(Version 0.85)

SJHA  This is excellent. Far better than the very poor Huawei programme supplied by my ISP which demands an Administrator password every time one makes a connection.  
(Version 1.2.2)

SJHA  I tried to start a project by first filling areas of lawn but could not work out how to do this. I assumed the rectangle tool should be involved but had no success. And as I said the Help system did not function. I would certainly encourage you to provide more comprehensive documentation.  
(Version 080516)

SJHA  A promising idea - but the interface is far from intuitive and for me the Help did not work so I was unable to design anything! There seems to be no instructional material on the developer's site either.  
(Version 080516)

SJHA  Yes, I see that you are correct. Chicken of the VNC displays the same behaviour.  
(Version 0.96.16)

SJHA  It is fast. But there is an annoying bug if you by mistake try to connect to the computer you are running the programme on - it seems to go into an unstoppable loop whereby it shows multiple copies of that machine's screen.  
(Version 0.96.16)

SJHA  Version 3.6.2 now works properly under OSX 10.4.11  
(Version 3.6.2)

SJHA  And here too  
(Version 1.7)

SJHA  Doesn't open for me (OSX10.4.11, Macbook Intel)  
(Version 3.6.1)

SJHA  This new version (2.1) seems to be working very efficiently both on my Intel Macbook and my iMac G4. The automatic ad-block feed feature is impressive  
(Version 2.1)

SJHA  This excellent programme just gets better and better! Highly recommended for anyone writing out music scores  
(Version 2.11.36-1)

SJHA  With the new (1.5) version Papers steps into a class of its own for bibliographic management for biomedical researchers. There is really nothing else quite like it. It tightly integrates literature searching, pdf file down-loading, and pdf file display and organisation without the need for any other programme i.e. no web browser or pdf file viewer is needed. It abounds with thoughtful details - some are practical others, e.g. the superb splash screen, aesthetic. Papers ranks as one of the all-time-best Mac programmes.  
(Version 1.5)

SJHA  Having earlier drawn attention to a problem I was experiencing whereby Books 3.1 was hanging on Quit, I can now report that I solved this by letting Onyx carry out its full suite of maintenance procedures on my MacBook. I don't know what it was that was critical but anyway Books 3.1 now functions perfectly for me. I must say that during the troubleshooting procedure I went through I had exemplary email support from the developer. Indeed I felt guilty that the problem turned out to be at my end rather than inherent in his programme. So I can now gladly rate Books 3.1 with 5 stars, both for the actual programme features and for the support available if one has a problem.   
(Version 3.1)

SJHA  Sunrise Browser is good - but needs to have some way to import Bookmarks from Safari or other browsers.

What is weird is the URL for the 'Sunrise Browser Forum'. This seems to take one to a sex site!!  
(Version 1.3.8)

SJHA  I am experiencing a consistent failure to Quit with the new version 3.1. I have had to Force quit Books every time. This problem did not occur with Books 3.1rc6. I hope this is soon fixed as this is an excellent programme  
(Version 3.1)

SJHA  Papers, even at this beta stage, is an excellent application. It combines within one programme the ability to organise references stored as PDF files; to read them (full-screen possible); and to search PubMed and import reference details. This tight integration makes for an efficient tool which I would regards as essential for all biomedical scientists who like to store reprints as PDF files. Although still not fully complete it is worth 4 stars at this stage; and when the planned additions for the final release are in place it will be a 5-star programme in my view  
(Version 1.0b3)

SJHA  There is no doubt that there is a server overload problem. Several helpful people have set up unofficial servers for the download and I used one of these today without problem (see threads on http://forum.parallels.com)  
(Version 2.5.3186)

SJHA  This ridiculous. I have been trying for two days to download the latest version and like many others find that the download stalls after 12-15 MB. What is the problem? Is it the server?  
(Version 2.5.3186)

SJHA  There seems to be a problem with the archive for version 2.11.19-2 which will not expand successfully  
(Version 2.11.19-2)

SJHA  "No Logitech Device Found" message for my V100 optical mouse on both my MacBook and my iBook with LCC 2.1.1 or 2.1.2. Curiously on both computers LCC 2.0.0 worked fine with the same mouse! Don't they test these new versions?  
(Version 2.1.2)

SJHA  This is an excellent game. I particularly like the challenges which require you to complete various driving tests within a certain time, and thereby gain access to further cars to race. The graphics are smooth and realistic and control of the cars requires a good deal of skill.   
(Version 1.0.2)

SJHA  This is a truly excellent application. I have been using it recently to print out some lead sheets with melody, chords and lyrics and it produces superb results. There is undoubtedly an initial effort required to get to grips with the syntax. It is a little like writing a computer programme in that one has to be completely accurate. But the time spent learning how to use Lilypond is amply repaid by the results. And the sheer extent of the complex nature of the scores it is possible to engrave is quite outstanding. That the programme is also free is amazing.  
(Version 2.9.29-1)

SJHA  Not available for download the last couple of days!  
(Version 1.2.1)

SJHA  The developer deserves a medal as well as five stars for creating this superb programme - it is a must-have for all Sudoku enthusiasts  
(Version 2.1.1)
