Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Hello,

if you are using Mac OS X in German (... und falls Sie Deutsch als Standardsprache eingestellt haben! / if you set German as default language), please use the following fix:

Select "Informationen" from the contextual menu, then in the "Info zu: PDFDek" window, goto "Sprachen", click on the usual arrow if necessary to show/unhide the languages, and UNselect the German language packet, thereby disabling it.

Why?

Because otherwise it simply does not work properly, clicking "Einstellungen" does NOT invoke the Preferences, so you have to stick to the default, which is JPG at 1.0 scale...

Being English-only from then on, it works;
there is only "one more thing" I realized:
a) you can not "Cancel", as the settings are changed even so;
b) "Cancel" is not possible via Escape nor Apple/Cmd-dot (".") <-- looks like a cute cat, doesn't it? ;)))

As I wrote in the title, I e-mailed the developer, but I noticed the "Cancel" thing right now, so it is not in there...

Ciao

Felix

PS: OK, so I am picky, but the progress bar is no help at all, since it finishes instantly before the output file is even there...! And then you sit there and wonder when the approx. 160 MB TIFF will be ready.... Then I rather have an annoying hourglass like in windows... ;))) OK, OK, still better than freezing the Mac! ;)   
System Info:Mc OS X 10.4.11, Mac mini core duo or something ....
