Safari AdBlock | Dec 3 2008 |
Make sure to uninstall Safari AdBlock if you're planning to update to the latest version of Safari (v3.2.1, included in Software Update), because some kind of system conflict can cause all of your apps to crash at launch. If you're experiencing this, you will have to manually uninstall Safari AdBlock by deleting the Safari AdBlock folder in /Library/InputManagers/ This should restore everything to normal. (Version 0.3.2) | |

153957PHOTOGRAPHY I have no problems with using AdBlock on Safari 3.2.1.. Safari does crash at times... but I dont think those are related to AdBlock.. (Version 0.3.2) | |

Together | Jun 13 2008 |
XARIK While I understand your concerns for using an app that stores files in its own unique "way," Together has the ability to export your attachments back into the Finder just the way they are, so that you can access them "normally" as you would without Together; in that sense there's little risk that you would lose your data because it's not actually bound to a proprietary format as with other applications of a similar vein. However, if you simply want an app that will allow you a faster way of accessing your files without having to copy them over, you might want to take a look at Path Finder (http://www.macupdate.com/screenshot.php?id=6371). Although I haven't used the app in a while, AFAIK, it doesn't copy the files into its own database, but only displays them in a more accessible way. Maybe this is more like what you're looking for? If I'm not mistaken, that is. :) Hope that helped somehow. (Version 2.1.3) | |

Growl | Jun 13 2008 |
XARIK This is because there is a Growl.prefPane installed in ~/Library/PreferencePanes which is causing a version conflict. If you delete that and restart Growl, it should show as 1.1.3. Just to be safe, though, I would suggest reinstalling Growl 1.1.3 after deleting the old prefpane so that there won't be the risk of further conflicts. (Version 1.1.3) | |

XARIK "So, unless the developer provides a new one, you will see the old one here." Ah, I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification. :) (Version 3.0) | |

XARIK If by "fly-out menu" you mean the drawer, then yes, the developer has removed it from this latest release in what I believe is a move toward consistency with the Leopard GUI, which has deprecated the use of drawers (at least as far as I've seen with many other applications that used to have drawers but have dropped them in favor of a unified interface). The screenshot that is currently featured on this page is outdated as of this release, which is why it still shows a drawer when there isn't one. (Version 3.0) | |

XARIK It works well with everything I've encountered so far except for password-protected .7z files. It chokes on them completely and gets stuck at the progress bar without even giving me a window to type in the password. Other than that, I haven't run into any trouble. For the moment, though, I've been using 7zX to deal with those problem files, and they work just fine. (Version 1.6.1) | |

Memoires | Sep 8 2007 |
XARIK Nice, clean little app. Love the simple interface. I did encounter one bug, though. When I quit without saving and the drop-down dialog appears, the app still doesn't quit even if I click "save." It will only disappear if I click "don't save," but then I would just lose my changes. Just a heads-up. Also, if possible, it would be nice if a menu for browsing entries by month could be added in the future. For example, if you click the month on the calendar, you could get a drop-down menu of months containing entries... but then again this is entirely optional. Thanks for a great freeware app!

XARIK Very impressive for an open-source animation program. Are there any chances of a universal binary in the future (if that's even possible considering the nature of the libraries)? That aside, it shows some great potential. Definitely keeping my eye on this one. (Version 0.4.3b) | |

XARIK Agreed, a great little app! It's always a nice surprise to find a freeware app that's not only functional but well thought-out. While there are tons of other stickies apps out there, this one approaches the same task from a refreshing angle. A few features I'd like to see in the future would be categories and a "magnification" setting for viewing notes in the main window, if possible. Still, for a first release, this rocks! Really appreciate the idea of tablet support and alarms. Keep up the good work! (Version 1.0) | |

XARIK Weird. It says 0.8.0b1 in the Get Info panel but 0.8.5b1 in the About box. Also, I'm having problems with audio dropping off after a few minutes with newly encoded files. The previous version seems to work fine. (Version 0.8.5b1) | |

XARIK It appears APE is the memory hog here. Without APE, memory usage seems to be normal for the most part. Hopefully they'll release an update for APE that solves the memory/lag issues that some people have been experiencing. (Version 2.4) | |

iStat Pro | Aug 30 2006 |
XARIK Awesome widget. Love the new design. I've been using iStat nano for a while, but now I think I'm going to switch to the pro version since I have the screen space to spare. ;) It's amazing that all this is for free. Thanks for all the hard work! It works great except for one bug that I noticed. When I go into the options and adjust display settings, it sometimes messees up the bar/graph features. For example, when I switched the CPU display from "advanced" to "simple," I got what I expected: no activity on the bar or graph. But when I changed it back to advanced, the bar/graph still showed no activity as if I were still in simple mode. Am I missing something? Hope this makes some sense. It's sort of hard to explain. Other than that, an awesome widget. Keep it up! (Version 3.01) | |

Schoolhouse | Aug 28 2006 |
XARIK Wow, really nice app, and all for free! Beautiful interface and well-thought out initial features. Entering assignments imo is a breeze. The only immediate thing that struck me when I tried the app was if there could be an option to remove assignments using the delete key instead of having to repeatedly push the x button. Also it would be nice if that same x button had a more universal function, so you could delete assignments, courses, AND groups all with one click. Right now, AFAIK, it only applies to assignments. Lastly, I was wondering if something like rules in Mail could be applied, so certain assignments with special conditions (i.e. high priority) could be color-coded. Just a thought. ;) Overall, a great start, and definitely worth the price! Looking forward to new releases. (Version 1.1) | |

XARIK The permissions problem is a known issue. You can find out more about it here at this thread: http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?t=8980 Otherwise if you need a quick fix, just enter these lines into the terminal: sudo chgrp procmod VirtueDesktops.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtueDesktops sudo chmod g+s VirtueDesktops.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtueDesktops (Version 0.53r212) | |

JETFIREDX Thanks for the links... tried your quick fix with no success. Guess I will wait until it is officially fixed. (Version 0.53r212) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 21 2006 |
XARIK Strange. I just got those lines from the aforementioned forum link and copied them into the Terminal, and it worked for me, anyway. Then again it's not surprising if it isn't a universal fix for everyone. If that doesn't work, you could try Veggiedude's approach mentioned a few reviews below. (Version 0.53r216) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 21 2006 |
FLYING_MEAT Those of you experiencing problems with the command line fixes in the hint should be aware that there are 3 commands there: "sudo chgrp procmod VirtueDesktops.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtueDesktops" "sudo chmod g+s VirtueDesktops.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtueDesktops" Enter them without the quotes. That should work as advertised. ;) (Version 0.53r216) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 21 2006 |
ROADTRIPDK Nope, sorry. I have tried that. It gave me the error on the second command. I am using 10.4.7 on a Mac G5 single (PowerMac 9.1) (Version 0.53r216) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 22 2006 |
JETFIREDX Well this latest version worked without a hitch on my MacBook after trying the terminal actions described on the previous one. Give it another go if you've been having problems like I was. It really is worth it and I never liked multiple desktops before. (Version 0.53r216) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 22 2006 |
XARIK "Nope, sorry. I have tried that. It gave me the error on the second command. I am using 10.4.7 on a Mac G5 single (PowerMac 9.1)" Hmm, just a thought, but are you entering the second line without a break after the "sudo chgrp procmod"? Check the review frontpage where it's listed as one continuous line. So what you want to do is: sudo chgrp procmod [one space, not a line break] VirtueDesktops.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtueDesktops [one continuous line, like writing a sentence, no spaces between slashes either] The reply box here really mangles things up, but either go to the developer's homepage under "More info" or try again using the lines listed in the review and see if it works. Just a suggestion. :) As I'm not the originator of these lines, I can't say for sure if it'll work for everyone, but it worked for me. ;) (Version 0.53r216) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 23 2006 |
ROADTRIPDK Just tried it again, as described. I still got the same error ] (*,) (Version 0.53r216) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 23 2006 |
XARIK Wow, that really is weird. Another question then: this might sound obvious, but did you put VirtueDesktops in your ~/Applications folder (in /User/Applications) or in /Applications (your root applications folder in Macintosh HD)? The command listed only works when Virtue is in your /Applications folder (NOT under the Users directory). So if it's under ~/Applications (or anywhere other than /Applications), it probably won't have any effect. Of course you can still use the command described by changing the "cd" line to something like "cd /Users/Applications/", but as I'm not a terminal geek and I only copied these directions from the website for easy access, I can't vouch that'll work, but you could try it, or to be on the safe side, just move Virtue to your /Applications and hopefully that should work. (Version 0.53r216) | |

VirtueDesktops | Aug 23 2006 |
ROADTRIPDK Yeah, I think you are correct. Unfortunately we are in the same boat about the Terminal app. There should be a simple solution however, as I am running as the user in which VirtueDesktops is installed ] (*,) (Version 0.53r220) | |

Sidenote | Aug 11 2006 |
XARIK There appears to be a memory leak w/ the button mouseover. When you hover over the buttons quickly, sometimes the blue highlight lags behind and it ends up burning some 90%+ CPU usage, at least in my case anyway. Maybe I'm the only one experiencing this. Otherwise, a great app. Everything else seems to work fine. (Version 1.7.2) | |

CHATELP I can't reproduce this bug on my computer. What version of MacOS are you using ? Also, do you use ShapeShifter or any haxie on your computer ? (Version 1.7.2) | |

Sidenote | Aug 12 2006 |
XARIK I'm running 10.4.7 right now on an iMac 2.0ghz Intel. I don't have Shapeshifter currently installed on my computer (although at one point I did). It seems it only works when you move the mouse quickly over the buttons. It doesn't always happen, though. I wonder if it has something to do with Rosetta apps, because if I recall correctly, I had MS Word open while entering a note, so maybe that might have had an influence (so it probably might not have anything to do with sidenote itself). Still, thanks for the prompt response! (Version 1.7.2) | |
