Developer's obvious disinterest

Feedback Type:  Usage Tip

Contributed by: jjjazzz--2008 Thursday, March 13 2008 @ 04:44 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

From the "BLOG" of the developer, verbatim:
>>>Posted January 5, 2008
mainmenu 1.7.2 and 10.5.x
although most of mainmenu’s functions do work under 10.5.x, there are a number of things that may have problems running/won’t work, e.g flush lookupd cache, maintenance scripts… BUT nothing dangerous. hopefully there’ll be time to put out a proper update for leopard in the near future. thanks<<<
Nothing dangerous. Right. Please don't be so cavalier with our Mac maintenance programs. I loved this little app, but I don't dare use it. Sorry.

Ignore the harsh/childish comment above!! - leftblank-:o)

If you don't dare use it, that's fine .. only you can take responsibility for what you do on your Macs.

But to moan at free high-quality software that is bloody useful is so counter-productive: would you carry on updating free software if this was the prevailing attitude?

To Santa software: thanks for MainMenu, imho the best of the maintenance apps ... and thanks for the new update too!

;o)

cavalier: showing a lack of proper concern; offhand.

It isn't cavalier at all. The post says that it is safe to use, but that some features don't work. That means was tested.

Now, your review *was* cavalier.

jjjazzz,

1.7.2 was tested on Leopard, in fact it was developed on a 10.5 (not final) beta build.

The cron/maintenance scripts, with errors such as "command not found", and the old Tiger lookupd cache refresh command not existing (or rather under a different name) in 10.5, both 100% harmless issues.

Wanted to put out an update but there was really no time.

Apologies.

Also, noticed you mentioned in one of your feedbacks for leopard cache cleaner that you can no longer trust MainMenu... Hope for your system's well-being, that LCC (and OnyX too I believe, last time i checked) has done away with it's custom authorization panel/method.
