Fluid 0.8.3 (Mac OS X)
experiencing crashes with 0.8.3
On the java-based site that I just set up using Fluid 0.8.3, I'm getting frequent crashes (which mean loss of data). Running 10.5.2, in case that makes a difference... [alert admin]

Fluid 0.7 (Mac OS X)
Rooting for two more features..., but great freeware
I'm delighted this app exists; I went searching the web to see whether precisely such a thing exists. I appreciate that it's free (maybe not many people would pay for such a thing). And it's hard to look a gift app in the mouth. Still... Two features would make it much more convenient for me to use (in classroom context, switching back and forth between BlackBoard and other websites): * saving of cookies between sessions (it always asks for all passwords) * scrolling with the mouse (std. Apple scroll button mouse, so it should work) [alert admin]

Firefox 2.0.0.11 (Mac OS X)
URL bar disappearing... anyone else?
I can't confirm that this happened exactly with 2.0.0.11 update, but on two different machines I've suddenly had no URL input area, just a google area. (That might be great for the people who never type or paste a page location in directly, but it's not anything I ever would choose.) What's especially troubling is that the "Customize..." option under View > Toolbars only provides *other* toolbar elements, not the URL input field. So far, I don't have a clear sense of whether an add-on is playing a role here; I do *not* have the google-toolbar extension on the machine currently showing this problem. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 3.0.3b (Mac OS X)
Installer claims that my boot drive doesn't meet the requirements. But it's running 10.4.10, and has 28GB free space. : | [alert admin]

Bookpedia 3.4.1 (Mac OS X)
On my iMac17" with built-in iSight, I've just been trying the barcode reading function (my only reason for trying this, as I happily keep my complex biblio database in FileMaker). So far, Bookpedia's iSight interface usually just isn't registering anything (I initiate the camera attempt and hold the book in front of the red bars adjusting slowly in every way until my arms are sore), while on the three occasions it finally flashed green and registered an ISBN code, it got it wrong (in three different ways) -- multiple digits incorrect, so that the search was futile. This is with ample ambient (but not direct) sunlight... [alert admin]

Firefox 1.5.0.1 (Mac OS X)
1.5.0.1 (both Mac and Win badly breaks nearly all sites based on TiddlyWiki. They were fine in 1.5... the problem has something to do with labelling of variables in the JavaScript. [alert admin]

MailTags 1.0 (Mac OS X)
makes up for essential missing feature in Mail.app 
Eudora allows editing of the subject line, and my Mail.app switch made me miss being able to compensate for emails with missing or misspelled keywords. Note that you can even use a Mail.app filter to do things to (or from) MailTags metadata. That's great integration!! That leaves us only cleaning up manually after the more sloppy or miscellaneous messages. One buggish thing: so far, assigning a project tag seems to toggle Mail.app's "general FLAG" on, even while I have left that checkbox unchecked. One minor suggestion: to offer better from-the-keyboard entry and editing of the MailTags pane... Eventually I could see this offering truly robust metadata. But for most purposes, it's really such a needed thing, and I think this was a fine stage of development for an initial release. [alert admin]

EndNote 9.0 (Mac OS X)
Why no info about recent version(s) here?
As of today, versiontracker's product descsription is still frozen at EndNote 6, and there's (therefore) nothing to tell us what's new in version 9. Who at versiontracker and/or EndNote is attending to this? [alert admin]

Cisco VPN Client 4.6.04.0061 (Mac OS X)
Cisco's VPN, since Tiger upgrade, has not been able to handle afp very well (kernel panics, at least over wireless connection, after which VPN needed to be reinstalled or reset somehow). Since the 10.4.2 update involved some afp tweaking, I thought I'd see whether things would run more smoothly now. But I got the kernel panic again. So, maybe I can save someone else the trouble. If your server will allow it, try another protocol, like smb, instead. That has been working OK. [alert admin]

I was wary, after having had so much trouble with the first supposedly Tiger-friendly update. This one has launched fine, and hasn't crashed, even on afp... [alert admin]

Stupid install process, great app...
FWIW, this problem is not showing up for me. I double-click the .bz2 file, and the result is a plain .dmg, on which I can double-click to mount the virtual drive for installation.

Apparently Spark is very similar, highly recommended, and recently released.

iSight function not usable ONLY on iMac
Update: I *can* get the iSight function to work on my Intel MacBookPro, so the problem was something specific to iMacs, or to my machine in particular.

I don't know of others that make the large cursor *translucent*, and that's crucial for many applications: a presenter needs a large cursor that does not obscure what's underneath.

makes up for essential missing feature in Mail.app
Sorry -- I hadn't found the prefs tab yet, and now see that the general message flag is set by default to respond to MailTags, but that setting can be changed.

Would Like to Try This Version, But...
It seems to work fine in Eudora, at least on all the items I've tried. (In the first version, the shortcuts didn't "stick" between launches, but that's been fixed.)
