Product Description:

ASM is the reincarnation of the application switcher menu. It's highly customizable and offers some nice extra features, such as "Classic Window Mode" (orders all windows of an application to front when it becomes active) or "Single Application Mode" (automatically hides applications other than the front-most one).

What's new in this version:

Note: Unfortunately, I had to change the format of ASM's preferences file. Therefore the special features' settings (rules) must be re-adjusted. Other settings are not affected.

more logical and flexible rule settings
- "Single Application Mode" renamed to "Classic Window Mode"
- "Auto Hide Mode" is now "Single Application Mode"
- new feature ("Dock Hiding") to automatically show and hide the Dock on a per application basis
- applications can be set to always hide automatically
- option to disable the suppression key (shift) so conflicts with keyboard macro utilities can be avoided
improved installer/uninstaller
new generic icon (system menu theme)
shadow effect can be disabled for menu icon or title
includes localizations for German (complete) and Dutch (nearly complete)
main menu localized for French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish
not sure about that, but I hope the rare (?) "auto start" bug is fixed now
several other bugfixes

MultiXFinder version 0.4 is now available for download. It is Snow Leopard compatible and seems to have the same functionality as ASM. Best of all, unlike ASM, it is freeware.

Me, too. But... - Version: 2.3, 9/3/2009 02:31AM PST

I bought my dang copy back in 2002! And he even lowered the price. I wish he'd warned me about the upgrade, but it's nice to see Frank finally ask for a little change :) Anyway, ASM is absolutely the greatest. I couldn't get through my day without it, and neither can anyone else I know who's ever tried it. Thanks again for great app, Frank!

Ditto on the lack of installer warning for update cost... - Version: 2.3, 9/2/2009 09:49PM PST
