CAPS Warn CommentaryProblem receiving registration code and contacting developer - Version: 4.4, 12/22/2009 04:57PM PST

anewman2
I found Caps Warn sufficiently useful to purchase a licence for it - on 3 December 2009. I still haven't received the registration code from the developer (despite frequent checks in my inbox and spam folder), and I also haven't been able to find an email address for the author. Although it's only US$6.00, I still find this all rather annoying, and suggest to the developer that 1. he is a bit more prompt at supplying the registration info and 2. that he supply an email address o that people can contact him. If I don't hear from him by the end of the year, I will be contacting the electronic store and having the payment revoked.

CAPS Warn CommentaryCapsWarn 4.4 Does Not Work - Version: 4.4, 12/20/2009 07:23PM PST

I tried to use it to warn me with a sound after 6 keys but got no warning. Versions prior to 4.4 worked as advertised. This is either an actual bug due to some coding change, possibly because of some "quirk" with the 64-bit compilation, or that the minimum hardware requirements now exclude G3's which I happen to use (with 10.4.11).

CAPS Warn ReviewWorks very well with Leopard, though not perfectly - Version: 3.1, 2/20/2008 12:00AM PST

Bud Simrin
Extremely nice product. I have a wireless keyboard with no caps lock or numlock indicators. I use the CAPS Warn audio "pop" sound to alert me when I have pressed either key, plus a brief screen flash, and also the indicator in the menubar. I like best the other indicator that is supposed to be next to the Apple logo except that it is not reliable in Leopard. There are 2 problems with it. (1) half the time it appears at mid-screen on the left side rather than in the menubar and (2) I use 6 Spaces (a Leopard feature) and it only shows up when System Preferences is open and then only in the same Space as System Preferences; it doesn't appear in the other 5 Spaces. However, the other method (the menubar icon) works just fine.
