try /library/app support/simbl/plugins |
|
This is definitely a 5 star utility - a pref pane, actually. But it functions perfectly: behind the scenes, catching most everything I delete, asking if I want associated files deleted too. 99% of the time, I do. What a time and work saver! |
|
I am having no problems with this ... in fact, I wish I'd found it sooner. Ought to be in everyone's dock, a handy escape from runaway processes or just a fast look at who's hogging cycles. Way handier than, say, Activity Monitor. Kill kill kill! |
|
This utility - and what else does one need, anymore - just keeps getting better and better. I've stopped using everything else I once bought. Five stars, says Joe Bob, Check it out! |
|
The problem with cross-platform: Ugly is hard to take. |
|
A-Dock is still available, still right here ... and still has an amazing number of tweaks to the dock and its behavior that Apple should have included by now. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10287/a-dock-x Still one of the best, ever. |
|
MIP isn't working for me (MBP) in 10.5.3, nor did it in 10.5.2. Minimized windows simply .... disappear. Yet I've read it's working for others. So I wait. If you've got a solution, post it! There's absolutely nothing like MIP--for shame, Apple, for not including this feature in X from the get go. The hell with Spaces ... I want my MIP. |
|
Two words: History Flow ...! More words: SafariStand is not interfering with 1Password or vice versa, in 10.5.3 ... nor was this happening in 10.5.2. Try downloading the free app InputManagers, which will set the correct permissions. Important: SafariStand should be located in /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins. The bundle, only. Loader not needed. /Library/InputManagers holds the iPasswd bundle (it will install itself there,) and another folder, SIMBL, containing the SIMBL bundle. This works better than putting SafariStand in your users Input Managers (which shouldn't even exist) and is recommended by the developer. |
|
Hey! Thought you were dead and gone, BatchMod! Thank your developer!! |
|
Unsure about that price, but I'm interested to see where this is going! Keep up the good work ... definitely needs a read.me or help file. |
|
Yeah, it's up to the devs ... but it's real obvious when the dev is kinda socially clueless. It's only smart to throw a bone to previous users - they supported him while he worked on the new version - and it builds good will. A cold announcement like this one does not. |
|
I agree with Gerber. In other words, you've offered zip to all previous loyal customers. Does this explain it? |
|
No upgrade path? Hello? |
|
Why does Chronos even bother. |
|
Watch a product go backwards. Worse and worse. Amazing |
|
I take it all back. Upon further use of new versions, it's clear: This app does accomplish very neatly what so many others do singly. Way to go! |
|
Bummer. Is Hamrick a cross-platform developer? Because this thing is all splash-screen and no guts. The Canon interface is superior to this piece o' worthlessness. Goes to show, the more heavily promoted, the less the product has to offer. I'm serious. I've been scanning for years - use something else. Anything. |
|
And this little app uses up an excess of processor cycles why? |
|
A few weeks later, and I can confidently state: Not Ready for Release. Look forward to when it moves out of experimental. Meanwhile, there isn't a function here that can't be found in common utilities. |
|
Damn! I was so happy to see this release, and now have strong reason to believe it took my system down. (MBPro 10.5.2) ... and I'd excluded everything possitble. The other APE's are doing okay - well, FruitMenu ... but these need more work. Experienced user, and have run APEs for years. Unsanity, are you listening? It's Leopard now. You really need to work on these babies. |
|
Well, if you want to turn Mac into Windows, and after buying such a nice machine, I suppose that's your right ... but the tiniest adjustment in thinking--oh, never mind. |
|
If you don't know what these things mean, don't do them! Simple as that! |
|
Awright! Thank you! |
|
Hot damn! |
|
How many of these are we going to get. Enough already. |
|
This way better than Jungledisk, which I'm sorry I paid for. S3 is mostly straightforward, behaving as you would expect. There's no indication that the terrific browser window opens by double-clicking on the bucket name in the Connection window. But that window, gee, lists your files, in English, their sizes, listed your files, by name, their sizes and dates, the immense number of S3 logs, etc. There now, was that so hard? It eludes me why Jungle Disk is so ... complicated? Expensive? Exists? |
|
Perhaps define "soon." |
|
Hell-o Haxies! Leopard has been hell without you. Spaces sucks, I want my Windowshade! And damn if you didn't show up! |
|
They're back! It's been just hell on a laptop without Windowshade - thank you Unsanity!!! |
|
"You can Watch .... but you cannot Save." (Yeah, I know simpler ways of saving ... just don't like it when developers do that.) |
|
It's that GUI scripting, and you can turn off the warning in the preferences, I believe. |
|
Not from the looks of it. |
|
Doggedly on, year after year, ignoring all that has happened to the Mac interface in the meantime. Sadly, for terminal geeks only. |
|
Shows a lot of promise! |
|
Users can still fool with their dock interface ... this little app is sooo much more useful than Stacks, watch out it doesn't turn up in 10.5.2! Thank you for this! |
|
Max Rudberg is a name you can trust. And this little tweak makes life worth living. Geesh, glowing blobs? WWTT? |
|
SafariStand works fine with PlugSuit, a free pref pane. Try Input Managers, a free little app, too. I'd rather run either than SIMBL. |
|
The only way to get SafariStand to run on my MacBook Pro. No problems at all - this version says it won't disable itself. |
|
To the Developer: It's really great that you all are working on this ... but I wouldn't mind cutting back on the installs. Several times a week? Take it easy! |
|
Sorry - fugly. Have you looked at Leopard? Or Tiger? |
|
Boy they've had a long time to get it together with this ... just hasn't happened. I think I've tried every version. What is their problem? |
|
Sorry, that wasn't very clear or helpful. I don't know why a given process rises and falls constantly, in CPU usage ... but this one does, and it seems to slow things down. Hard to explain with no tech talk. |
|
As with all DEVONtech software, just plain excellent. Have used for years. |
|
There is no reason on earth to use this unwieldy, bloated thing ... which installs so much crap in so many places installers are not supposed to go in OS X, and there's no excuse for Google releasing this mess for the Mac. Which they know and use, but hey. When Spotlight is not enough, use the free and excellent EasyFind. |
|
Ditto ... Sits in menubar, take screen shot, nothing happens. Trash preferences, try again, nothing. |
|
This is the notepad I have been working my way towards - through every single note app out there - for several years. Why is this The One? Not sure ... maybe the iconize, maybe the right combo of simplicity and function, and not hideous ... maybe MacNote just got it right! All I can say is, try it out for yourself. This long-time Mac user says, Five Stars! |
|
Still the absolute most trustworthy best. You'll see the care this app takes ... and how careless many such maintenance apps really are. Learn. |
|
Now how about that price. $25 would still be a bit high, but $35 means no sale, here. |
|
And a very nice icon it is. |
|
Very pretty. But why. |
|
There's something funny about the way this jerks the background processes around. Paid for it, way back, and it works ... but I tend not to use it. I'm no deveoper (can you tell?) but it doesn't play nice. |
|
Did they get rid of the stupid claw yet. Not all of us are fourteen-year-old boys. Just a thought. |
|
Price is way out of line. |
|
No, it's the ICON that's *creepy* ... this is an intriguing piece of software. But I'm not sure what I'd use it for, in the long run. Does need clearer, faster access to one's real desktop and running programs. |
|
Perhaps it should be mentioned, amongst all these raves, that, yes, the Free edition is free ... and the next upgrade is $149.95 ... and the Pro version, $249.00. I hate it when developers do that. |
|
No longer free ... but can't complain about the cost of storage at AWS. |
|
How did I miss this for a *year* ?? An absolute dream app, one click and all but my preferred cookies are gone. Perfect. Missed something like this ever since I moved to Jaguar - that's a lot of time picking out rotten cookies. |
|
Sooo promising, but somehow it just doesn't make it. Even $49 for immense ugliness ...no. And the lack of documentation ...so many of these perhaps amazing new apps seem to be developed by people incapable of providing documentation ...geek syndrome? Well get a friend. Who speaks English, preferably. |
|
No Service provider? Can make a Shortcut, but really, out to be part of an app like this. |
|
Be nice if it actually appeared in the menubar. |
|
Why is this updated every five minutes? It's really a pain, you know. Give us a break, how about once a month. If you must. |
|
This is simply not very good. Its own presentation is rather awful. Keep trying. |
|
I'm gonig to try this release ... the interface is nothing less than astonishing, compared to iCal ... when and if this totally matures, it will be major. |
|
Duh, you're right. This has much more extended capabilities. Thanks! I'll see which plays nicer with Safari. |
|
Remove any and all Input Managers and the like, see how that goes ... SafariStand is the only thing the previous version would tolerate. If that doesn't work, see MacFixit / update your WebKit. |
|
I'm a little concerned to see the developer release this as if it were in any way new ... when I see it is exactly the same as years ago in Classic Mac. And the file types and mappings reflect this, as well as the old, old choice of IE 4.5 for browser. How long ago was that? RCDefaultApp by RixStep is the true file mapper for OS X, and the only reason to use MIsFox is if you have simple enough needs. The developer's description is not entirely the case ...but I think this version may be a bit more editable. I'm concerned that noobs and switchers may get confused by all those file types that don't even exist in OS X ... which is, after all, what we're working with. |
|
Can't get the damn thing to restore Default ... or switch to any other coor than first set; will have to go into System and fiddle ... but that's not what I downloaded this for. |
|
I could be wrong, but I thought the only firewire drives that would boot were NOT bus powered, but with an external power source. Check it out. |
|
Have never seen anything install so many items in so many different places ... and the damn thing is always on the alert, even if you set it not to be. Tried blocking its calls out with LIttle Snitch ... but finally? With Spotlight and Easy Find (and others) ... who really needs this bloat? Unless you want to include your Gmail ... after the novelty wore off, this experienced user trashed it. |
|
How is this better than FLVR? Which seems to work beautifully ... |
|
Yes, but what do you really *use* it for. I'd like to know, having paid for what seemed an attractive interface ... and now feels like overkill, and I'm back to MacJournal .. |
|
Promising, but I'm not sure of what. You pretty much end up with what seem to be small websites - which isn't bad. But for me, anyway, right now the learning curve isn't worth it .. I'm not sure about these one-app-does-all applications anyway ... and the developer needs to be very clear about his or her English. "Missions"? I don't think so. Give it a try, and review it here. Seems to work beautifully ... whatever it is. |
|
WeatherPop seems dead, too ... see reviews, flaking out for me despite paying for Advanced ... where's the great menubar weather app? |
|
Brilliant. Nothing like it. An amazing app, which must be tried to be believed. |
|
Superb. I had no idea performance could be increased like this. Keep it in your dock and everytime things slow down, run it. You'll see! Big, measurable "RAM" boost. |
|
If anyone who wishes to write spends this kind of money on ... software that touts, on its feature list, Tabs! and, Automatically Updates! ... I will personally come over to your house and whap you upside the head ... One rarely sees such overblown - oh dear, another bad word occurs to me. To all newcomers to the Mac, welcome, this isn't typical at all. Just write. |
|
Gee, I think if you would just take a look at the fine app above ... there are some especially hideous customizations available, and, wow, you can make them *sticky*! (Best review of '07!) |
|
Try RixStep's RCDefaultApp pref pane. Not a guarantee, but way better than the nothing OS X offers. |
|
Got two Macs? Couldn't be easier. Nothing else needed. Genius. |
|
Well, it would be extremely helpful if the program were accompanied by a few words from the developer. You know, like a ReadMe? Jeesh. |
|
Woulda been really nice if the developer had kept this up. Wish I had something like it. |
|
A competely enthralling ... game, I guess it is ... for my gifted grandson, age 5 ... a unique experience, well-thought-out, much loved. A new release, with new features, is a huge event. We thank you! SteamTRAIN looms very large in his life! |
|
Nothing like it. Beyond handy. Clips are really underrated; you can see their contents in the preview column, and I habitually drag from Safari, from the web. ClipEdit is invaluable! |
|
Five stars. Inquisitor makes search sooo fast. And no, not one problem, reports this experienced Mac user. I don't know how developers stand it ... |
|
Boy, that was a loooong wait. Or so it seemed. Had to hash together all those different utilities again. This little handy tweak makes a HUGE difference, thanks! |
|
My grandson is mad for this - um, game? BUT. . . it uses up all active RAM on my GB powerbook! - and $25 is too much - and it says $20 on the front page. I'm most concerned about that eating up max cycles. Leftover OS 9 resources in there? Whatever, clean it up. |
|
Try AdSanity. Different--but it seems to work, and one does like Safari Stand. |
|
Best - and safest - interface mod yet! I am an Unsanity fan, but was happy to stop using Shapeshifter, had to add most everything to the exlude list. . .Whereas this unifies the whole machine, very cool and very non-distracting workspace. R U listening, Apple? . . I doubt it. Now if I could just apply UNO to the damn Dock. . . Huge thanks!! |
|
yes, i realized it is a drawer, hey, it *slides*. the new new thing this year? see, i have used macs for a long time . . .and silly me, i want to resize and move windows where i want them. more importantly. . . .what big advantage--other than the fact that it slides . . .is desk browser offering me? ya know, i could see a small, swift browser when you don't want to crank up safari or ffox . . .but, to be honest, i'd need some choices where it popped, sorry, slid up or out or down. . .and can't live without the ability to resize the sticky edge. i think you're onto something, since the dashboard sux for web use. maybe i speak as powerbook user? anyway, keep going! |
