Since the previously mentioned features are now implemented, I'm going to post another feature request: customizable color labels for reminders (a la iCal) that allow you to quickly discern routine reminders from special events when viewing the calendar. The more I visit the calendar, the more I'm wishing it had this. Still loving this software! The editable reminders are awesome.

I spoke too soon - another bug seems to be that the menu also pops up when I hit the space bar. Unfortunately, that means I can't use it, since the majority of my internet searches contain more than one term. :(

Interesting - I was about to report, after reinstalling, that it still doesn't work, but what I just discovered is that it does work if I use the Enter key to activate my search. If I hit Return, it just toggles the search engine drop-down menu, as though I was clicking the search icon. I'd definitely rather deal with a small bug than not have the software at all!

I miss this add-on every day! Is there any hope of an update, or should I stop checking this page? I see no indication from the author here or on his site that he's working on a fix for Safari 3.

I don't have any use for a Dock icon, either, and I got rid of it using "Dockless," an old but still functioning app that exists only for the purpose of un-Docking any app that you don't want to appear there:

WHOA. I came to the iMOnTime page just to see how it was faring these days (I've been a user for about eight years) and discovered the new release, as well as the fact that no one had reviewed it yet. VERY impressive - I've been using it all of five minutes and am already blown away by the new interface and feature additions. iMOnTime remains, to me, the scheduling app that iCal can't quite beat.

The only feature that I still wish it had is an editable history/log that's automatically populated with reminders that have passed. Every once in awhile I'll accidentally dismiss a reminder before reading it (such as when I'm typing as it pops up, hitting return at just the wrong time) and have no way of checking to see what that reminder was. It would also be nice if reminders themselves were editable so that you could A) add notes to a reminder that you intend to snooze, and B) alter repeating reminders on the fly instead of having to bring them up in the calendar interface.

Second that - this is not a truly "free" app and listing it as such is misleading. I think it's a nice little utility, but I'm amazed that the author thinks it's worth pestering users for money every single time you start your computer. Donationware is a great concept, but it doesn't lend itself to shareware-like harassment.

Whoa, a little reality check: the app strips all the EXIF data when you have it resize and re-save a photo. PLEASE fix this - I can't use the app again until you do.

Great start! I went looking for a way to quickly batch-resize photos, and here it is. Fires up quickly and processes quickly. This will definitely be kept in a convenient place.

I'm not having any luck with it - it's giving me the ambiguous '1001' error when it tries to connect. I verified that 'exec()' isn't being disabled and I setup a second user as an admin. No dice. This is using Gallery 2.2.2.

I've loved using this app until just now - it stopped working. I'm getting an error (OS 10.4.10) that says that it requires Java 1.4 and won't work with 1.5. I am using the latest version and just downloaded it again to make sure. Anybody else have this problem?

Looks like this fails now with iTunes v.7.3. Any chance it might get updated? This is the best/easiest solution I've come across to set a track's BPM setting.

I'd be willing to give this a higher rating if wClock (which is very outdated but still works perfectly in 10.4.8) didn't take up about 10% of the CPU usage as MagiCal. wClock has almost as many features (and full font selection).

Purty. I wouldn't mind seeing custom window widgets and color variations (not a big fan of the gold and green), but aside from that it's very nice.

Great start! After getting frustrated with iTunes 7's anemic cover fetching ability I tried a couple of different 3rd-party apps and this one is the best by far. One major issue, though, is that it doesn't seem to deal well at all with multi-volume (i.e., double) albums - it just can't seem to find artwork for any that I've tried. And I wish it would give you the ability to just forcibly choose a cover from the artist of an album that it can't place, which would make the aforementioned problem not such a big deal. Outside of that, a job very well-done.

I concur, not ready for prime time. I downloaded this hoping to augment iTunes 7's laughably incapable cover art fetching ability, but this is even worse. Major problems that I'm seeing in the first five minutes include:

1. Doesn't appear to handle albums with numbers in the name very well. I just had it search for the self-titled 311 album (with '311' appearing in the artist and album title tags) and it asked me to choose from what looked like every album that 311 ever made, plus it wanted me to choose the artwork for each individual track instead of applying it to all tracks on that album at once. Same problem with the artist/album '33hz'.

2. Doesn't appear to be able to cancel a batch download operation - I had to force quit it when I realized how long it was going to take to fetch artwork for my entire library.

The main problem is speed, though. I have 8000+ tracks in my library, and I think it would take days to fetch artwork for all of them using this app.

Followup to my own problem: after updating to QT 7.1.3 it still wouldn't open, but after I opened and closed the QT Player and tried iTunes again I got a message from ShapeShifter informing me that I was running a new version of iTunes (blah, blah) and then iTunes opened normally. It would appear to be an incompatibility with ShapeShifter, which isn't particularly surprising.

I can't even open it - unknown error #50 right after clicking the user license. Opens fine with another user account. Tried trashing prefs, no dice. My library is on a second partition, but aside from that I don't think anything about my setup is non-standard. Anybody else encounter this?

Hmm... well, it doesn't appear to be working for me. I just ran it, restarted and went to Bank of America and a file upload site that I use occasionally and Safari didn't offer to remember any form values in either. I actually wouldn't want the bank site to remember my login, but I'm really tired of having to manually enter info on the file upload site.

Safari 2.0.4 (running Saft and SafariStand, in case that matters), OS 10.4.7.

I have to chime in, having finally gotten around to installing this app. Amazing. I don't understand why it's free, but I'm not complaining. Appears to blow Suitcase, which I've been using for ten years, out of the water. Feels like the iTunes of font management to me, complete with smart font sets and a myriad of other options.

I applaud the effort (and clearly a lot has gone into it), but it doesn't really feel like a 2.x product. Operation is fairly slow across the board, from opening the app to transferring files. And on top of that, it crashes pretty frequently.

My suggestion: put a hold on new feature development and work on tightening the code so the thing moves smoothly as Fetch or Transit.

This thing is waaaaay beta. I can't do much of anything in it without it crashing. It does seem to remember the settings I've changed, but it doesn't seem to be able to upload a profile photo from my local disk or remember my usr/pw from one session to the next, even when I quit it instead of it crashing. Not ready for prime time.

I'm mainly writing this to counteract the previous review, which I think is completely unfair. He's giving the software, which it doesn't sound like he understands the value of at all, a crappy review because of one (admittedly annoying) fault that doesn't even have anything to do with what the software actually does. Saft is an amazing piece of software that corrects problems with Safari that I didn't even realize it had. Worth every penny.

And by the way, I don't know what's wrong with the aforementioned user's setup, but Safari does indeed remember the l/p of the Saft download page. I just went there and didn't have to input anything. One suggestion for the author: Put the link to the registered users download page in the description above in order to make updating easier.

Yeah, same here. Downloaded it, couldn't connect through the interface (not running the latest version), ran the updater through the command line as the readme said, then... nothing. Client app opens and immediately closes. PB 1.25 w/10.4.6.
