AutoHide 1.3.8 (Mac OS X)

Retraction - Does NOT work properly with Leopard!

Okay, here's the deal...AutoHide works with Leopard but you can not modify the preferences and exclude certain applications from hiding. So for me it's pretty much worthless unless someone can come up with a workaround. I tried to edit the prefs file with BBEdit (copying my old pref from Tiger) but AutoHide just seemed to ignore the modifications. [alert admin]

AutoHide 1.3.8 (Mac OS X)

Seems to be working fine work with Leopard

After reading the previous comment about AutoHide not working with Leopard I decided to try DragThing's auto-hiding feature. I love Dragthing for it's custom dock features but I was not as happy with it's implementation of automatically hiding applications as compared to AutoHide. Today I decided to install AutoHide 1.3.8 and try it for myself. After a few minutes of testing AutoHide seems to be working great with Leopard. Perhaps the previous user who said it did not work "upgraded" to Leopard (as compared to a clean install) and this caused some preference problems. All I can tell you is that I did a clean install on a new Mac Pro and so far it seems to be working fine. I will report back here if it fails with Leopard but so far so good! [alert admin]

Spell Catcher X 10.2.3 (Mac OS X)

YES, Spell Catcher X 10.2.3 is Compatible with Leopard!

From the developer's website forum: Spell Catcher X 10.2.3 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). There are some issues that you should be aware of (see link below). If you follow the advice given for each, you should be able to use Spell Catcher as always, without sacrificing any of the features you are accustomed to or require. That said, we are working on a major upgrade to Spell Catcher X that will take advantage of many new-in-Leopard technologies, and offer a slew of new features for both Tiger and Leopard users. Sorry, it's too early to give a release date, however beta testing has (recently) begun. Known Issue: http://www.rainmakerinc.com/kb/index.php?article=87 [alert admin]

ReceiptWallet 1.5.1 (Mac OS X)

Will ReceiptWallet work with a Neat Receipts scanner?

I was going to purchase a Neat Receipts scanner and resort to using Windows under Parallels. After reading the Amazon reviews of the Neat Receipt I have nixed that idea because it sounds like Neat Receipts is another piece of typical Windows garbage software. 1.) Will ReceiptWallet work with a Neat Receipts scanner? 2.) How about with a Visioneer Portable Scanner? These are the only portable scanners that I can find locally. 3.) With ReceiptWallet can I feed in receipt after receipt without having to enter any data, and then fill in the data after I have scanned all of my documents? This would be my preferred method of input. I dread the idea of stopping after every scan to enter data. If I have to do this I may as well just use a flatbed scanner and FileMaker Pro.

Timbuktu Pro 8.7 (Mac OS X)

Who on earth is running Nutopia?

I purchased the 8.7 update Saturday 12/29/2007 but the download link (along with the user name and password that I received from Netopia) did not work. This is very frustrating since it appears that there have been download link problems since it's release several months ago What's even more crazy is that there is publicly accessible evaluation copy that you can download for free and activate with your old 8.6 activation key. And if you are running Windows XP...no activation key is even required. WTF? I guess they do not trust Mac users. :) Timbuktu 8.7 Evaluation Download http://www.netopia.com/download/evals/tb2/multieval_dl_8.html [alert admin]
