it to work. It must have been some bug with comparing File contents when a Type was specified. So, it found them, but it's has not tools for eliminating them. It would be nice if it could select the dups based on all but newest or all but oldest, etc. and then trash them, like FileBuddy does (which is still quite flaky on X). [alert admin]

File Freak 3.5.3 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

This get my…

Cool Finder Award! Innovative, very fast, very convient way of finding exactly what you want based on typing part of it in. Well worth $13 for most people who find their Applications' and Documents; directories getting way too cluttered. Yes, Ultrafind was nice but this is a bit of a different concept and faster.

DiskTracker X 2.2b4 (Mac OS X)

As Disk Recall,…

which as one of the best of 8 & 9, is not available, this is the next best, and is quite promising once long file names and a few other things are in it. Consider nothing else but these two. I've test most of them: AutoCat - limited, very slow, just makes alias; DiskCatalog1000 - aweful interface but fast; CDFinder & DiskCatalogMaker - ok but still somewhat feature limited. Once this is fully X, I've give it a 5. [alert admin]

AutoCat 3.0.3 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

This should not…

be called a cataloger but rather AutoAlias because that is all it does. Sure, if that's all your interested in doing, this is fine but "catalog" is misleading - a catalog is a database that is compact, stores a number of file/folder attributes, can be quickly searched based on these, and be quickly updated. AutoCat stores no attributes, has no real search abilities (other than X's), and is very, very slow. At $15 is over prices for such a simple function as alias creation. The best cataloger of them all is Disk Recall, but unfortunately is not carbon and has some issues with 9.2:-( However, I just discovered DiskTracker is quite comparable to Disk Recall am using it instead.

DiskCatalog 1.000 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Haxial software is…

notorious for making the most anti-Aqua, butt-ugly DOS-type interfaces. I would stay of away from them based on this principal, however, I needed cataloger, since DiskRecall (which is the best) is not yet available for X. So I gave it a chance. Conclusion: highly non-intuitive - no drag & drop and no standard menus, very feature limited, but it does have one thing going for it speed and long file name. Wait for DiskRecall or use DiskTracker, which is quite comparable. [alert admin]

Quitling 2.0 (Mac OS X)

BUG: This zaps…

my other things I set in my System Preferences to show here, such as Monitor, Sound, Airport. Anybody notice this, or is it just me? claude, to uninstall remove Quitling.prefPane from /Users/yourhome/Library/PreferencePanes/ . I would also like it to hide apps as well (e.g. hide all others). ASM does this, but does not Quit things and interferes with Quitling. Add this, fix the bug, and $10 will be worth it. [alert admin]

Nicer 2.0.1 (Mac OS X)

Could some please…

write one of these instead of YA-load view! Load is nice and all but more useful would be to nice & quit various apps - based on their REAL name. I would also like to know how much RAM each apps takes up. Please, PLEASE write this someone! I will pay $$! [alert admin]
