Silverkeeper 2.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Unable to complete subsequent backups
I've used previous versions for several years, but I've only had this one a couple of days, of course. I'm disappointed with 2.0.1 because I tried to back up my internal Leopard boot drive volume to one of the partitions on an external drive containing two Extended (Journaled) partitions. I had to remount the external volume with Disk Utility after performing the backup because after the backup had finished the destination volume was no longer mounted. Then I discovered that ignore permissions for the backup volume was turned on. I turned it off, then repaired permissions with only a few corrections logged. I tried to run a subsequent backup of the same set before I tested the destination volume's bootability. I got nothing but errors in the log, and the backup was almost immediately aborted (by default the backup stops after 10 errors). If turning off ignore permissions is all it takes to destroy a backup set, then IMO this version of SilverKeeper has serious problems. The current version of Carbon Copy Cloner won't let ignore permissions get turned off for the backup volume if it is a full backup of the boot volume. Please fix these problems, Mr. Silverkeeper.

NoobProof 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Is it possible for the main window to reflect rules already active?
Is it possible for the main window to reflect rules already active? I made changes to the parameters displayed in the main window, but when I reopen NoobProof, everything in the window looks the same as before I made any changes. I don't seem to be able to cancel if I choose not to enter my password. Thanks. [alert admin]

OMM, reminders only appear when the application is open. For me that's a serious limitation for an app featuring reminders. [alert admin]

DVD Imager 1.5.9 (Mac OS X)
DVD Imager needs an update to work properly in Leopard, but in the meantime, here's an easy workaround. Don't drop the VIDEO_TS folder onto DVD Imager's window. Instead, find the DVD Imager application icon in the Finder and drop it onto that. [alert admin]

DVD Imager 1.5.9 (Mac OS X)
For most problems with DVD Imager, in all likelihood the content of the VIDEO_TS folder (or other content if you're using copy mode) is something DVD Imager can't handle. Here are some ways to try to determine that. Start by using a utility like Onyx to 1) Repair permissions. 2) Check preferences. 3) Clean caches. Are there any DVDs/VIDEO_TS folders that DVD Imager can copy? If you've ever successfully used DVD Imager to make a DVD before, try inserting one you created with DVD Imager before or one that was created a different way, and try to perform the operation on the VIDEO_TS folder that exists there. Monitor the tmp folder while DVD Imager is working. That may present a challenge. You should be able to locate that folder in the Finder by typing command-shift-g and entering "/tmp". Examine the files in the lelandtmploc just after DVD Imager begins working. Look for a file called " dvdimagerlog" also in the "/tmp" folder. If you can, drag it out of there before DVD Imager deletes it when quitting, and tell me what's in it. If you have trouble dragging it, just select it as soon as it appears after you click Create in DVD Imager and press command-d to duplicate it. That way the original will be removed when DVD Imager quits but the duplicate will remain. You might want to try testing the mkisofs executable which is the engine for DVD Imager. The documentation includes the command you need to type into the terminal, substituting your particulars for source, disk name, and destination. If you put the DVD Imager application into the main directory of the boot drive, typing the following line precisely into Terminal and pressing return should result in a message telling you all the options that can be used for the mkisofs executable. If it doesn't, then there's some problem with the mkisofs executable on your system, and DVD Imager can't possibly work. /DVD\ Imager.app/Contents/Resources/mkisofs If you get the expected response, then try completing the command line using the command line sample included in the documentation. Good luck! [alert admin]

Uninstall tip for troubleshooting

LauncherX 1.1 (Mac OS X)
Trouble with Category drawer in 1.1
If you open the category list drawer by clicking the List button, then reposition the window so that some of the drawer is off screen, the drawer closes and the only way to open it again is to relaunch the application. Also, I'd really prefer to be able to turn off the audio feedback without doing it system-wide. [alert admin]

You're not running it from the disk image volume, are you? What's your first error?

I am also happy to see the release of this app, but I'm also having problems with it. After I filled up 1 category and deleted some buttons, the app failed to launch with a NilObjectException alert. Of course I immediately suspected that a fresh preference file was needed, but because the preference file (launchdata.plist) doesn't include the app's name (LauncherX), I had to search for it by another method. Because I had installed it…

Please try the new version (2.3) and if you still have a problem, either email me or post some particulars here like the name of a source file that won't convert to a file that plays properly, the size of that file, what software you've used to play the file succesfully, the data rate you're using in No Frills DVD2iPod, etc. Thanks.
