JOHNDOE7  First, thanks for the update.

Second, your upgrade policy s*cks majorly. I don't really care if this has been a complete rewrite or not (which may as well be a result of bad coding in the first place), the only thing I can see is that you're charging 12 EUR (incl. VAT) for a no-new-funcionality upgrade less than 3 months of goodwill for customers who have already paid 20+ EUR for 2.2 -- the whole Snow Leopard upgrade itself only cost 29 EUR!

You should definitely reconsider your upgrade policy.

TOMECK  I was a fan and supporter of Letter Opener (formerly known as OMIC) as well and I have to agree with John: the upgrade policy is questionable.

I remember that I bought OMIC for € 5 (probably I was one of the first ever paid for OMIC) in August 2006 and paid an upgrade fee of € 9.99 End of April 2009 after our offices has upgraded to Leopard.

To pay the same upgrade fee for the Snow Leopard version... I am not sure that I am willing to do so as more as there is no discount if you would like to upgrade several licences. Why does the discount for buying more licences does not apply to upgrades?

I am not saying that an upgrade fee is illegitimate but the fee should be reasonable with a fair "grace period" even more if people support an developer across diffrent versions.

For the moment, you can at least open the .docx files in Word 07/08 if you have access to that app - just click on Okay in the 2 error dialogues that come up and the doc will then open.

YOXI  Yes, this is the first fully aqua release of OpenOffice (as opposed to NeoOffice) that doesn't require X11 but runs natively in OSX.

NeoOffice is currently based on OOo v2.2.1, but they will be releasing an early access version of v3 for people to test in mid-November (see their website for details of the Early Access scheme) and the proper Neo v3 release should be some time in January.

See http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/NeoOffice_Feature_Comparison for a feature comparison of Neo/OOo/MS Office 2008 - NeoOffice already has some functionality not available in OOo v3 in OSX, and is quite a bit faster in certain areas, such as slideshow presentation.

It's not a big deal, but then there's no information I've found as to why it takes so much longer to run now - with 100% cpu for most of the time it's running.

How often do you repair Permissions?

You should only really perform this if you are suffering from unexpected problems. There is no need to do this daily, weekly or even monthly.

TWELVEIGHTYONE  Hi there,

A fair comment, it does take a long time, much longer than Tiger.

The only reason I posted my message is because I have known people who Repair Permissions almost daily, thinking it is some kind of 'cure-all' for problems.

From what you have said, you are using the procedure correctly (not that I mean to patronise you) and I agree that it does seem to take a long time.

Warm Regards,

I removed the leading '5' from MaxBundleVersion and MinBundleVersion value in both Info.plist files.

See bedouin's more recent comment on the main page about an unofficial version you can download that contains the Info.plist-modified PithHelmet.bundle and a README.txt explaining how to install it.

And you might want to install SIMBL-0.8.2 first; it's available as a separate download here. That's what I did.

YOXI  (from the NeoWiki): "So...is NeoOffice written in Java? No.

NeoOffice is a Mac OS X native version of OpenOffice.org that uses small amounts of Java code for graphics drawing and configuration.

OpenOffice.org is written primarily in platform-agnostic C++. However, NeoOffice takes advantage of Mac OS X's advanced Java integration to tap into the Mac OS X look-and-feel. In other words, the little bits of Java in NeoOffice primarily have to do with operations that affect how the application appears to the user. The "guts" of the office suite are written in C++. (The code that makes up NeoOffice is 99% OpenOffice.org code shared among all OpenOffice.org platforms and 1% Mac OS X-specific code in Java, C++, C, and Objective-C. Ohloh.net shows that the NeoOffice-specific code is 93% C/C++.)"

SEIKA7  In your Quark folder, go into the folder "For System" and run the QuarkXPress Components installer. If that and a restart doesn't let Quark launch, you may need to update prebindings in the Terminal:

sudo update_prebinding -root / -force

then type your password when it asks and wait several minutes for it to finish. Don't touch the computer while it's working.

Hope this helps!

PDXMPH  I'm also having problems with it since 10.4.9. It thrashes for a while then just doesn't work. I only get this log message in the console log:

caladan diskarbitrationd[45]: PTHPasteboard [15480]:55315 not responding.

I wrote the developers last week with that info plus more. No response. Bummed because I paid for the Pro version and depend on it for a big part of my daily workflow.

YOXI  The one thing that's missing for me to make this app really useful: if therer's a non-image in my selection (e.g. a text file or a subfolder) then the app won't process any of the image files. It would be much more useful if the message said "There are non-images in your selection" and then would go ahead and process the image files if you want it to.

PDF Styles for QuarkXPress 7
Jan 21 2007

YOXI  Since these come with no documentation, you might be interested to know that in order to use them, you need to install the files in the folder ~/Library/Preferences/Quark/QuarkXPress 7.0/Output Styles/ and THEN rename them so they read e.g. Press_HighPDF.OutputStyle.xml rather than Press_HighPDF.xml. On relaunch of Quark ,they'll appear in the menu of available PDF profiles.

YOXI  This is a very handy app if you want people to have access to an app in different languages without fiddling with the system prefs each time - one improvement I would suggest to this plugin is to have it actually check whether the language resources are actually present in the .lproj folder - some apps have empty .lproj folders, so the plugin shows such a language in its 'available' list but then throws up an error message when you choose it. It also took a couple of restarts of Finder after installing this before my Finder behaved properly again, but who knoweth what caused that.

YOXI  Since one can choose (in Finder prefs) not to show any mounted volumes on the desktop, I can see this is useful if you want less 'desktop clutter'. I would happily use this app in preference to having desktop icons:

• if I could choose Get Info from the menu as well as unmounting a volume

• if the menu showed unmounted volumes that haven't been ejected - once I unmount a volume using this app, there's no way to remount (or eject) it directly, I have to use either Terminal or Disk Utilities to remount (or eject) the volumes. This is relevant because if I unmount one volume on a partitioned firewire drive, for instance, I might want to remount it - and if I unmount all the volumes, the drive itself is still not ejected so the disk is not spun down, but there's no way to get back at it from here.

I hope this is useful feedback... :)

OpenOffice.org
Sep 3 2006

YOXI  Just to clarify, NeoOffice is not 'based on java' but uses some java calls on top of (almost entirely) C code and cocoa to draw windows etc. without needing X11 to run. This X11 version is therefore a little more speedy than NeoOffice, especially on older macs, but NeoOffice is better integrated with OSX. Speed/usability you can decide on for yourself, as you can install them side by side and try both - personally I find it useful to have both for that reason (e.g. on my old powerbook, running macros or a search/replace on a large doc is a lot faster in X11 but I prefer NeoOffice for pretty much everything else).

YOXI  I'm very impressed with SpamSieve so far - it get very accurate very quickly.

And since you can set it up to launch/quit when your mail app of choice does, you can make it run dockless if you like (see http://www.yoxi.net/anitya/dockncover.html for instructions - I've got fed up with trying to work around the 'no angle brackets in reviews' thing in MacUpdate!).

MICHAEL TSAI  The advice on that Web page isn't quite right for SpamSieve, since its Info.plist file already has the LSUIElement key. For SpamSieve, you just need to change the 0 to a 1, as shown here:

YOXI  And I can't help but add that from a buddhist perspective, at least, 'integer' and 'infinite' are just mutually augmentative concepts - we have this idea of 'separate things' and of a 'finite or infinite number of them', but they're just conventions for describing an experience - language is just a modelling tool, and a model is just a better or worse attempt to describe experience.

Anyway, you could say that adding enhancements expands the *realised* number of limitless possibilities for this app if you want to stay picky ;)

YOXI  The advantage of this implementation of OOo is that you don't have to keep it in your startup volume's /Applications folder to use it. If you want an OOo implementation that doesn't need X11 and runs more natively in OSX, try NeoOffice - currently available based on OOo v1.1.5, but the v2.0.2 is in alpha testing right now and is already very stable. Uses native OSX fonts and print dialogue, and work on a more OSX-native GUI is in progress. An intel version is expected sometime in the summer. Meanwile, OOo v2 will run on any panther/tiger mac that has X11 installed.

YOXI  Dammit, I forgot that this system edits out stuff in angle brackets - so what you need to add to the info.plist file looks like this:

{key}NSUIElement{/key}

{string}1{/string}

but replace the curly brackets with angle brackets like the rest of the entries in the file you're editing. TextEdit is fine for editing the plist file, by the way.

YOXI  You can make this a non-Dock app by goinginto Package Contents and editing the info.plist file by adding the lines:

which will make Namely a background app - this means you can't quit it the normal way, but it's invisible until you invoke it from the keyboard. Neat.

Apple Java for OS X 10.4

YOXI  It's not possible to change the java version NeoOffice uses - NeoOffice/J (v1.1) will only use v1.3.1, NeoOffice (v1.2) will only use v1.4.2 (and is thus only compatible with OSX 10.3 upwards). If you change the default java in your OS to 1.5, NeoOffice will not work, but as the other poster said, it's a more under the bonnet job to change the system's default java version.

Create Booklet PDF Service
Mar 19 2006

YOXI  In my review below I said that there was a problem with the margins and clipping - but I've confirmed that this is NOT a problem with Christoph's app.

It's simply that if the initial document's left/right margins are very narrow, once they get rotated into a landscape booklet, the edges of the pagelets may be out of the top/bottom printable area for your printer, as they are (just) for my HP Officejet 1100.

You can easily get around this by reducing the %-age size in the Page Setup before printing.

Create Booklet PDF Service
Mar 19 2006
****½

YOXI  If you're looking for the pdf file, it's written in the /tmp folder, so if you want to keep it for later you'll have to move it or Save As in Preview.

Also, on my British English setup, the PDF Services item appears in the /Library/PDF Services folder as PDF Create Booklet, but appears in the actual menu in Dutch, for some reason.

And finally, something's up with the page margins - the right edge of each righthand page is clipped. I don't know if this is because the service isn't respecting the A4 paper size, or what.

A good and useful service, though, once these things get ironed out.

YOXI  Lovely - nice bells! The enhancements I'd appreciate are:

• a bell at the start, with option to set the delay after clicking the Start button - it's a good way to get intto the mood.

• bells at timed intervals for meditation in stages - e.g. 5 stages, 5 minutes each, with a bell at start and end as well, with option to set the number of stages and their length.

Of course, it's fine as it currently is, I'm just lacking contentment...

I agree with Yoxi in that it would be great to have a start delay to get your self seated and ready and a choice of sounds at the end point... the option for intervals with separate sound choices would be a nice bonus...

... and you thought it would stay at v1 :-)

YOXI  I like this very much, but one thing would really improve it for me - the ability to rearrange the list once made, by moving locations up/down relative to each other. At the moment, new locations get added at the bottom, and it's the bottom one that gets deleted, so you have to work out in advance what order you want your list to be in before creating it.

YOXI  I like this a lot - easier to use than ToDo X which I was using a while back. A few bugs (I couldn't find anywhere on Justin's site a way to email him about bugs, so I'm having to post them here):

• currently I can't change the font colours of the task/folder font in prefs, even though it gives me the options to do so

• the 'do you really want to delete this?' dialog needs to pop up on top of the menu, because otherwise sometimes it ends up behind it and I can't click on the buttons!

• once there are folders with items in them enough to fill up the pane, there's no way to add a folder at top level without closing all the other folders first (to create a space to click in), as far as I can tell
