Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

I have been using autohide for a year or two. I can't understand why apple does not just incorporate this feature into the finder. Like others have reported, I have also never been able to get version 1.3.8 working. I was still using version 1.3.6 but today it stopped working. I can probably get it working if I dick around with it and ditch the prefs but I would really like to find an alternative program that does the same thing.

Is there any other application that can do the same autohide feature? I know that Dragthing can do something similar but I would like to find an application that will auto hide when using Apple's dock to switch between apps. Who knows, maybe Dragthing can do this, I guess that I will need to give it a try and see.

It appears that Dragthing can do pretty much the same thing as Autohide. One thing Dragthing is missing is the "never hide when switching to" option which I find very useful.

HideIt Control, shareware $10, works well on an Intel iMac. And, it is Universal.

Also, ASM has hide others as one of its features.
