I've now switched to Camino- which is rather elegant, and also free. So we'll see how that goes......
Well I can honestly say that Camino is utterly fabulous, and has now become my main browser

hi all,
at the moment, this is called sumac.app and as far as I'm aware, no one else has tried it out.
there's a write up in http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=35023&p=308823#p308823
I've had no reply's there, so I thought I'd put it here where I know Mac users will see it.It's moved forward and I've made a demo movie, but before making a new dmg, I want to know if anyone else is interested.
so, if you have a look at the link and come back here to reply,
I'll then post the links here, if that's OKjohn
-
John,
Could you post the movie link here so we can get a better idea of the app in action?

hi Mike,
not a problem, when I tidy it up a bit...
in the mean time I just finished a test dmg plugin loader, that should put a ruby and support folder directly into the right place.
it's just Jim's homer.rb ( Jim hope you don't mind)
if you already have it, it will ask if you want to replace, etc...Can everyone try, I'll put a 'how to make' in the dev forum if it works well.
It may make life easier for Mac-SU plugin newcomers [as well as developers]
it may only work on v8 which is what I really need to know.cheers

John, the link doesn't work.

John, I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do
The video is also too blurred to make much sense out of. Any chance of a higher resolution version?
cheers.

hi Tom,
Links and file sizes are driving me nuts, so now I've remembered it only needs to work on a Mac.... like the app.
here's a reasonable quality version (with all my fumbling with a giant cursor!!!)
it's took me 7 secs to download and you can watch in full screen to see what's happening.
all the actions are SLOWED down, it's not as clunky in use...
sorry for the others, I'll take it down

Hi all,

REMOVED this one as well, too small, see two posts below for a full screen demo, link
I'll sort out a smaller one later...
john
edit: replaced the broken link... this should work -
"Filechute" is so awesome!
-
Me again,
here's the link to the app, It's slowed down at the moment because I added a load of extra steps and delays to show what's happening...have a play

Hi Guys,
When I was back in the Stone Age using Windows
, I got very fond of a handy little utility called 'Meazure'. It was an on-line ruler.Over the past couple of years I have come across a few similar Mac apps but none as good as Meazure until now!
PixelStick http://www.plumamazing.com/mac/pixelstick/ does the job very well. Check out the screencast on the site as it explains the in and outs.Meazure allowed me to open multiple rulers which was needed at times. To do this in PixelStick I have to 'copy' the app and make multiple pixelsticks.
It looks to be free or a pay if you like! If you find it useful please consider buying as it helps the developer to improve the app.
Mike
PS: For all the Win users that have a peek in here, the link to Meazure is http://www.cthing.com/Meazure.asp

Compress PDF Workflow 6.0
Apparently Apple removed this feature in Tiger! (How annoying!
)However after a little searching, I found this Automator script, that does a fab job- although a bit fiddly if you need to tweak it.

Note: Free Ruler is only available for Mac OS X. It may work on Mac OS 9, but this has not been tested. It most definitely will not work on your stupid Windows PC.
Actually, this app would be useful if it actually stayed on top!
-
Tom,
I find RulerX better http://homepage.mac.com/kyasu/soft/
and to keep things 'on top' I use
