Mac Apps thread

[melvbot]

Noticed theres a few Mac users here and just wondering if anyones found any decent apps lately?
Ive been fiddling with Sandvox lately but still get drawn back to Rapidweaver.

Well, Imagewell is one of my favorite and simplest apps and I have been using it almost two years now.

However, in the past few months it has given me an update option which until tonight I had ignored. Now that I have updated it to a version virtually the same as the one I knew and loved, I have it on a 7 day trial.

I replaced the free old one with this.

adium was a good messaging client but msn seem to have fucked it up now

DVD software - Handbrake, MactheRipper and Visualhub are all good.

Just switched to Camino for my web browser

Appfresh is a good program to autocheck all your apps for the latest updates.

Scamp, you can get an older version here - Don't update next time

Good stuff, I was thinking of starting something like this but got busy

Some gems I've come to like recently,
OmniDiskSweeper
ExifRenamer
AppCleaner
iSquint - hopefully VisualHub one day.
iStumbler

Just got my hands on Stuffit 12 Deluxe and am loving the ability to use it both ways. Plus as I don't have Leopard I use the free version of SuperDuper which is great - thinking of upgrading too...
Inquisitor seems to be a nifty little one to.

Two of my favorites:

LaunchBar
An application launcher and all around keep-your-hands-on-the-keyboard tool.

Graphic Converter
A fine photo editor.

[buad hai]

World Clock Deluxe
Put clocks for multiple time zones on your desktop.

Path Finder
A better Finder.

UnRarX - Mac OS X RAR Extraction Utility for extracting files

This looks like an awesome program, my only question is going to be when it tries to do updates that requires licenses or aren't free

Virtual PC is quite useful and I found this other great package that works also on Macs: Windows XP Pro

Who said the Mac was dead ?

You simply can't resist can you? Jealousy? Mental illness? Extraordinary feelings of inadequacy? Which is it?

Why not just go play in your own playground?

[Tao]

BTW, thanks for the Path Finder tip, Buad Hai. I've never seen that before it looks good. Tried to green you but out of ammo.

Forgot to mention, if you like Launchbar - then Quicksilver and Butler are excellent alternatives (and both free).

OOPS, just realised not much point telling people about applications without an explications and link

OmniDiskSweeper - The Omni Group - OmniDiskSweeper
This is a great program for keeping an eye on your hdd and in particular the sizes and where they are.

ExifRenamer - http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10043
This one if for renaming pictures as they are downloaded off your digital camera. Great to help keep track of them

AppCleaner - AppCleaner 1.2b1 software download - Mac OS X - VersionTracker
Now this is a real gem! drag the appl etc into it and it finds all the locations of components on ya hdd to delete them 100%

iSquint - iSquint - iPod Video Made Easy.
Everyone knows iSquint... don't they its for people like me who haven't brought VisualHub

iStumbler - iStumbler 98
Plenty of wireless discovery applications out there but this one has been got to me, used it successfully to find free connections when out of town numerous times

Yer I heard and seen some great things done with Quicksilver. Cheers for reminding me to get off my arse and hunting it down.

all of the above, a Mac thread is like a flashing red light for me

It's just grown rather tiresome. Must every thread with the word "Mac" in it become a soapbox for your childish anti-Apple crusade?

but the fact non the less.......the guys behind mac themselves made it possible to run windows on your machines....Mac or PC ...i think if u cook that question down ...then it's back from the good old days when a pc was more of a txt based editor...today with all those fine or less fine OS....many people choose a pc...more programmes to choose from and so so on.....Hats off to you guys who stick with mac.....hats off to the guys playing around with linux and other OS as well.....
Think most people are stuck with windows something..it is almost preinstalled on any PC or notebook you buy....and the wont lower the price if u don't want anything preinstalled so i've heard any way........So Mac , PC the difference is only in the heart of the users....Both platforms seem to get whatever task the user want done....just in different ways......I'll stick to my PC Notebook......

I knew a guy in the UK who drove a Vauxhall Nova and was always slagging off my neighbours Masarati saying it was just for show and was too expensive.

I think he was jealous deep down.
