App_Pauser Troubleshooting Reportproblem when running on french OS - Version: 1.0.1, 10/30/2007 08:41AM PST

jpmilin
When trying to run App_Pauser on a mac with the french OS,
one gets an AppleScript Error :

Can't make "3.9" into type number. (-1700)

The number (3.9) may vary. I guess the script is trying to decode
the output of the "ps" command and to interpret one of the field
as a number. Unfortunately, AppleScript use the localization
and numbers should have a comma instead of a decimal point...

The script is saved as execute-only file, and cannot be edited
or fixed. Therefore, the program is useless so far ...

App_Pauser Reviewsounds good - Version: 1.0.1, 10/9/2007 10:34AM PST

It doesn't work on a MacBook (C2D).
It runs, but doesn't show any window or menu...

I recommend it, because the application itself is a great idea and should be improved!

It looks like this might be a useful app. Ditto for his Virtual DVD 1.0.1, but there's no way to get detailed information. The developer's web site is broken...clicking on links to any of the various product pages returns a 404 error...there's no way to contact the developer directly and let him know about the broken site or request additional info...uh, no thanks.

Looks like this the guy is new, so I'll reserve judgment to give him a chance to get his $h!t together, but there's no way I'm going to install an app created by someone who hasn't paid attention to such fundamental details. There'll be the devil to pay...
