Existing users, 
The main feature that's supposed to be new with the 2.3.0 update, to display all of sterMachine's functions from the main window, appears to be just the opposite, in a way--the previous versions literally did show most options in a single window, but 2.3.0 requires you to access each option from popups in the small main window, each of which brings up its own window. Also, some options are still accessed only from the menu bar. Not an improvement as far as I'm concerned, and it really is the opposite of what the author describes as being the new interface.
Besides that, it's a fine utility.

New interface not quite as described - jaanOne
I was trying to describe the new version (meaning all accessible from MainW.), meant using the Key Combos to access almost every Task sterMachine offers. Options like Safari modifications are not often needed, but all "maintenance" stuff is right there.But I do see what you are talking about!!
I had a small "vote" system integrated on my website, trying to find out if users like the new interface.This was obviously not the worlwide opinion.
TIP : After sterMachine started, open the Maintenance View select your Tasks & hit run, the next time you launch sterMachine these last tasks are saved.
Now Hit Command + Enter and your previous selected task will execute!
But feedback helps me to improve! I see what I can do! Thanks!

He says that all functions are now "available" from the main window, not "displayed" in it. Otherwise I agree that it doesn't seem to be an improvement. I really liked having a more inclusive panel with most functions available to just check or not check. This takes a lot more time to accomplish the same tasks.Reply to This
