I also received my s/n immediately after purchasing, I remember, because it was quite a stressful day, and this product actually helped. email recovery sucks, please backup. |
|
sure, it may do more, but perhaps it could be said that anyone who is using a bookmark sync app for more than what Bookit does, and is compelled to look at software like this instead, should perhaps re-evaluate their strategy for bookmarks. As for excusing the user interface of this app because the developer is a Hardware Engineer, seems to me that even someone who isn't confident in designing UIs, could do better than BookDog if they just stuck with Apple's development tools. I'd find it hard to believe that BookDog's UI was designed in ye ole' Interface Builder. Seems to me hardware engineers might prefer to develop CLI based apps, or hiring a UI designer (consultant), or perhaps finding a gig engineering hardware instead. |
|
This software looks crazy hideous. Please do everybody a favor and go check out Bookit which has a nice mac interface and is more affordable than Bookdog anyway. |
|
yea but some of us still prefer drag and drop. |
|
huh . . . . ??? |
|
too bad this never got updated again, I liked it, created a nice extra nerdy effect for the desktop too. I use MenuMeters, but sometimes I still want process level status at a glance. |

Flash wins for highest resource usage. And people wonder why there is no Flash plugin included with the iPhone. |

From the WebJimbo developer's site, on the main page: "Webjimbo runs a small web server on your Mac. This means that wherever you are, you have access to your Yojimbo notes, bookmarks and everything else as long as you're at a computer with an internet connection. Say you run Yojimbo at home: now that important information's available to you at work or from an internet cafe. You can add and edit items too, so you can record information as it comes to hand. When you're at home, you just use Yojimbo as usual." its a web server customized specifically to share Yojimbo data. You use a web browser from another computer to access your Yojimbo data remotely, even add new notes. There are some limitations, but the developer lists those pretty clearly on the site. I'm not sure where your confusion came in as far as what this application does. Take more time to read about what the app is trying to do before downloading it. Personally, I'm looking forward to an iPhone optimized interface, if we see some traction in that area, then I think the developer would start seeing a lot more license registrations. |
|
I'm really enjoying this app so far. I've wanted some way to access my Yojimbo library remotely for a while. The current imterface seems to be a bit awkward on the iPhone, but the dev says there is an iphone specific interface on the way, which is even more exciting. Ive only been using it for a few hours. |

this looks like exactly what I wanted! The SABNZBd install instructions were a bit confusing and there were a few dependencies that I had trouble getting to install without error. So a prepared binary for sabnzbd is a very wonderful thing. I look forward to using this at length. |

Accounts Enhancer was a great solution for this back in 10.3, but it has been unreliable and seems to have been left dead in the water by its developer since the release of 10.4 Tiger. Thanks for releasing ChangeShortName to the public and as donation-ware. |
|
Seems like the both of you, and perhaps any user who really liked that functionality in DropDrawers, should check out the freeware app Sidenote, I believe it will handle the text abilities (in a drawer) that you are looking for. Then just use DragThing for other stuff. |
|
Take a look at pimpmycamino.com for Camino add-ons, the traditional Firefox extensions will not work and are incompatible with Camino. Don't expect a whole lot of different Camino plug-ins, there are only 3 or 4 in existance. All that being said, I love Camino and I'm really glad it's got session saving support now! |
|
your review is confusing. at first it sounds like you are a fan of this application, but your last sentence makes it sound like you used xSlimmer and then broke your Mac OS X installation. It's my belief that this IS a great app, and perhaps you broke your Mac OS X install before you found this application. But you should be more clear regardless. |
|
Try Get-A-Matic for a free solution (with a nicer interface too) |

I use and enjoy the Google Notifier software, it works as advertised, and I'm glad to see Google doing more Mac software. But, the older version was able to use Growl notifications, which I prefered over the homegrown solution that is now included in Google Notifier. Until google starts supporting Growl notifications instead of their own system, then I'll just use this without the visual notification, and just have it in my menubar. I know this is a minor thing to gripe about, but it matters to me, I don't want two different kinds of non-standard screen notifications. For those that aren't familair with Growl, go to http://growl.info |
|
this might be obvious, but you should really boot to the Diskwarrior 3.03 disk if you are having trouble running it from a Mac OS X system. |
|
If you are looking to re-route certain apps audio output to different sources, than you should look into Rogue Amoeba's Detour which is no longer in active development, but I heard it still works fine. |

This is a replacement for Exchange, it is much more than just a mail server. Email, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks, available anywhere with internet access. All for much cheaper than Microsoft Exchange. |

See Yojimbo |

perhaps you are missing the point of a library-based application. Consider iTunes, you add music to it, and then you remove the original copy from your desktop or you eject the CD you've inserted. Maybe after you drag things into EagleFiler then you would remove the original. I find it pretty comforting that this app copies it into a simple folder into it's Application Support folder. Apps like Yojimbo that use an SQL database to store your data. |

Mail.app bundles (plug-ins) are located: ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ |

I was pretty excited when I saw this app hit the MacUpdate main page. I'd been using Flickr Uploader for Mac OS X which is still distributed as a PPC binary, and there seems to be no talk of updating it. So Gleam was a universal binary app that promised to upload my images to Flickr easily and simply. Yes, it did certainly follow through with that, it was easy to drag a group of photos into Gleam, from there Gleam froze up on me a bit, it was hard to tell what it was doing, of course I was hoping it was going to display the group of pics that I just dragged into it's window, but it seemed to be taking a while and there was no visual indication from the UI that it was going to do anything at all, the only indication I had was that my CPU meter spiked right after dragging the pictures in. Better communication with the user would be great. Gleam was pretty slow in general on my system, which is a MacBook 2GHz with 2GB of RAM, which was frustrating. I looked into entering the metadata info about my pictures, but then decided I was feeling too lazy to do that right now, and I would do it later on Flickr's website instead. Gleam auto entered some default information about all my pictures. The title of each picture is set to "Title", the description of every picture uploaded by Gleam is "description" and likewise, the only tag on all of these pictures is "tags". More frustrating, but I'll deal with it later, when I actually go through and enter info on those pics. While uploading the pics with Gleam, the Gleam dock icon would bounce everytime a picture was uploaded. I'm not a big fan of dock bouncing for this, I would much prefer Growl support, and just throw up a growl message everytime a picture successfully uploads. The interface needs work, and please please please try to make it faster for intel macs. Would it make a big difference that im using large DSLR taken jpgs? Around 6MB a piece, but still, Flickr Uploader which is a PPC app handles these files faster than Gleam at this point, I'd love for that to change. Thank you very much for your efforts into this app! |

Why would you want to use this app if you didn't have an admin password? Seems like it would be pretty useless for you. |

Adium .89.1 is a beta, we all know this, we are all ok with it, it works well. But it is also the intended release download for all users of Adium. The Adium development team always has newer builds available that they are currently working on. This has always been the case with Adium. But so as not to confuse the general Mac downloading public, they would prefer if these development betas not be posted on sites like MacUpdate, VT, and Digg, because it draws lots of attention to a release that does not yet deserve our attention. I know it's trendy for all apps to release public betas nowadays, it might be easy to forget that there was a time when websites like VT and Macupdate didn't list all that many beta versions, because most betas were private and granted by invitation only. Respect the developers wishes, they are the reason Adium keeps getting better. |

RC: those words were taken directly from the developer, I believe you can see them for yourself either on their website, or in the Read Me that comes with Sharity. Objective Development prefers this, and maybe others will too. Personally, I'm quite fine with the built-in CIFS client. |
|
It would be nice to see a Universal Binary update of this from Microsoft, but let me guess, this too wasn't made with xCode, so it shall take more work. |
|
You mean the application switcher that apple added with Panther. . . . not Tiger |
|
seconded. $11 definitely sounds better, but a figure under $10 would be even more reasonable, perhaps for students? It is after all a plugin for iPhoto with the sole purpose of uploading photos to Flickr. Yea, but still a great piece of software regardless. |
|
Please don't make it into an iTunes plugin, what you have now works fine. An option to purely run in the background and not take up space in the menubar would be nice for those without widescreens. |

You obviously don't understand what Dockless does, or at least what it did, if you are suggesting Cleardock as an alternative. Dockless does not get rid of the dock or modify it in anyway, Dockless merely edited application plists so that the application icon won't show up in the dock while the app is running. Useful for apps like HardwareGrowler. I used to know the code to put into the plist to make this work, but it stopped working after Panther. |

I apologize that you had so much trouble changing your default web browser. I too wish it was more obvious and located in a central location like System Preferences. Too change the default web browser on a Mac OS X system, go to Preferences in Safari. Yea I know, even if you dont want to use Safari. The only other Mac web browser I know that has a preference to set the default system web browser, is Mozilla's Camino. |

Hi, if you suffer from Lost Cursor Syndrome, and you don't have $15 lying around to cure it, I feel you. Try Mousepose, it's free, and accomplishes the same goal. http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/16913 |
|
and a lot harder to implement. That would require changing Mac OS X's home folder system. Maybe you should use better folder management and rely less on the desktop? Cheers. |

this is a reply to anonymous who is not well informed. http://filemaker.com/company/index.html Filemaker is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple Computer. Granted, its not a division of Apple, but Apple does own them. |
