Snard - 2.6.3

I've been using SNARD for over a year now and typically had good results. The most recent version (2.5) grays out the prefs when I turn on the show System Prefs option, i.e. the pref panes are not selectable. Has anyone else had this problem? As soon as I select "Configure" and then close the SNARD configuration window, normal functionality returns.

I'm a user of the Snard 2.3 dock app, and am wondering if the menubar version has the same problem the dock version suffers from - Having to have a separate serial number for each USER ACCOUNT on a system (activating it in admin account doesn't authorize it for all users on a machine). The Author was good enough to send me an additional serial number for my user account, but that is still a workaround, not a fix to a problem which shouldn't exist on a multiple user operating system (not to mention a surprising one for a software author who is obviously experienced in writing *nix based software).

Just my 2 cents, as otherwise this is an indispensable app for OSX. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

ghostlexx : its a VT thing. We haven't specified an icon for Snard.
linoz1 : Thank you for the kind words.

I have tried many "launchers", but none of them come close to Snard. I use the "Menu" version. I love how it is unobtrusive, yet easily accessible. I also love how I can customize it to fit the way I work.

I use the Dock to manage what I use constantly, and Snard to access the things I use periodically or occasionally. The result is fast and intuitive access to everything I need. In short, Snard rocks!

It's a shame that these feedback forums often attract the negative comments, while the happy users often don't bother to comment. That's me! But this is one product I'm willing to take the time to rave about. Thanks, Gideon Software, for a great product. Keep up the good work!

That's exactly what I did, and that was before reading your "advice" I followed my own advice and donated to A-Dock :-) I would pay for XMenu but it's free, and I think I'm happy now without that much stuff on my menu bar since I have 9 other programs there. No need to get angry, though. That comment (see title) was totally uncalled for. There's a reason why I purchased your software in the past, and praised your customer support in the past. The bottom line is that the recent "upgrades" have been dissapointing to me, and yes, I have found alternatives that work better for me. I don't even mind that I never got a reply to my email from a week ago, and I'm not even rating the product, price, support, etc. As a registered user, I did not see those 16 releases you mention. I didn't find a Version History to see all of the "added features" I received. Perhaps if I had purchased it at version 0.1 I would have seen all those upgrades, but that's besides the point. Even if 1 release is good enough I'm more than happy to pay for the upgrade. And the upgrade is $6. I've given more than that for freeware!!!! But I guess you had the last word. After this, you can be certain that I will always "buy something else."
