We are not bearing with you at all.
Thank God that your loooooong and unprofessional delay have caused me to search for alternative software that works really well. I have waited for Fruitmenu long enough.
(ShapeShifter is so buggy and slow that I couldn't care less when it will be universal).
I have paid for a line of software that I can't use since January.

I am tired of waiing months at a time for your haxies to work.
Now you are waiting for your Mac Intel, when Tiger was out and I had to wait for a month and a half what was it then?

Good professional work as always Unsanity...

Stefdar, what alternative to Fruitmenu have you found?

Thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to buy a few of those haxies when they finaly get released with Intel Compatibility.

Stefdar if you really view Unsanity as un professional and already gave up using their software, what is the purpose of being on *.unsanity* and posting a comment here?

Attention?

Or you would be happier if they released a non tested "if it compiles, ship it" (BillG) version and broke all Mactel machines out there and went out of business?

Yes. One repeatable, crashing bug in such software means you are out of business.

Stefdar: if I was Unsanity, your wining would make me try to lose you as a customer. One less headache to deal with.

Thank you for keeping us informed. Not all purveyors are that thoughtful. "stefdar is an oaf. I miss FruitMenu a lot...

Once you do ship Intel versions you will have a perfect headline for the press release: "Russian developer launches ICBM compatible applications." As someone old enough to (vaguely) remember the cold war hearing the Intel Mac's referred to as ICBM's just brings a little grin to my face ;)

P.S. Stefdar that is the price you pay for trying to be on the cutting edge. It is no different than if you were an early adopter of the PPC based Macs or Mac OS X. Get a grip. Get a clue. Get a life.

I am patient and have no qualms. For the first time since my Mac ownership beginning in 1984, I am not an early adopter of the latest Macs. A close friend did, and he is having problems with his new MacBook Pro and 30" Apple Cinema monitor (and he dropped some real coin on these Apple goodies). Check out what others Software Developers have to say: http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy/en/support/intel.html

Rosyna chronicled the challenges of this transition from a bureaucratic reality. She was lambasted from all directions, yet she did a wonderful job of outlining just how "retroactive" we as Americans are versus being proactive. Proactive in the sense that those who have the control do very little for those who don't.

Then, well, then there is the ever growing group I refer to as the "Entitlers" the worst of what societies are producing, the "I want it now and don't give damn about anyone or anything else! I am "entitled" to whatever I want, dammit!" A sad commentary to say the least.

To be clear without flaming (as my previous post) and to help the newbies/non techies, I tell this:

This "thing" and other "unsanity things" are running 24/7 on your system. They should be stable 100% (not 99%) or Unsanity will get a bad name and nobody will trust using their products.

It is not a text editor for instance you can continue to use your system if it crashes.

If there is a "bug", it will effect whole System.

Also they should test it with the most rare, weird configurations available. For example I saw unsanity APE running on a $160.000 Mac based AVID workstation.

Besides, on unrelated note, Apple iSync 2.2, part of $140 OS X Tiger broke the excellent working k700i synch :) (look to support forums of apple to see real whining for a reason and look how they DELETE all the posts,unlike unsanity)

I am trying to be patient with unsanity on this issue - but unsanity is really the only developer whose software I use daily that isn't universal at this point - including many large professional audio apps. I still love 'em. I just REALLY miss fruitmenu and windowshade.

i love unsanity and own most of their products, and beta-test for them. but this delay is a bit too much even for me. the main problem is clearly ape as many haxies are universal in beta. i got them long time ago to test, but of course i cannot test them as ape does not work. may be we can help testing ape to get the whole thing moving faster

About the previous post...
So this means that the APEs themselves need to be universal too?

:-(

prefpanes have to universal...

OK update. Quad 2500 here, after the OS X updates, I installed the unsanity suite (kind of every ape), they work very fine. I can't notice any CPU usage on such a monster anyway :)

The thing I want to show is the "trust" to unsanity tools and they are being perfectly stable. So they "deserve" this trust ,they earned it hard way and you install them without question just like an integral part of OS.

I think that is why Unsanity will test a lot before shipping. Still I say: "make a closed beta program" for Mactels.

I would be ready to beta test any unsanity products. I'm ready to buy them as soon as they are released as UB and would be willing to buy them before testing them.

Can't wait to be able to theme with shapeshifter or create menus with FruitMenu!

JF

It should be closed beta (no www link etc) but still there should be a beta soon.

If it hits versiontracker,imagine the horrible comments :) I had zero crashes to date for years, there are still people claiming APE causes crashes. Now imagine they had a real crash.

I need Fruitmenu! I do not know how much longer I can wait.

Thanks for working on it at least. I'm glad your testing the products.

Here is open suggestion to solve everything:

http://forums.unsanity.org with closed beta/alpha topics just like http://forum.omnigroup.com where you can get a closed beta/alpha of a very "late" Mactel browser release (hint hint!)

If you see amazing number of comments on this blog, you will agree it is worth having a forum URL.

Hi,

I wish you the best in getting this working on intel macs. I actually might have waited to get mine if I had noticed that I'd have to live without WindowShadeX for a while.

I don't understand why some people on here are being so mean about it!

Please hurry, though. I hate minimizing to the Dock!

How do I get into to the beta testers?

What's more important? Getting your product 100% "stable", or getting some version of your product released for Intel Macs? I have a hard time believing it's taking this long. I'd even be happy with a working non-Intel binary.

It's certainly your perogative as a company to dally about this long, but it certainly doesn't make for happy customers. It also opens the door for customers to switch to competitors, which I would happily do at this point.

At least give us paying customers a beta.

Huh? You already have a working non-Intel version...
