Labels X 1.0b2

Well, so Labels X beta 2 is posted. It is almost the Real Thing(tm) (at least for version 1.0, as there's a lot of things to improve/add) - which means that, if no significant bugs will be found, it will become 1.0 after some repackaging.

If you feel like beta testing this beta for me (without spreading it too much), please drop me a line at slava(unsanity.com) (gosh, gotta obscure these emails so evil spam spiders don't harvest it!). Please mention the version of Mac OS X you're running in the email. I'll do the mail collecting in the evening and will send you the needed information to begin testing.

If all goes well, Labels X 1.0 will be probably out next week, so I can switch to yet another Mystery Haxie(tm) that was in development for 2 months this summer, but I haven't yet finished it.

Personally, I'm hoping and praying that you guys will develop a haxie that restores the ability for a third-party program to grab the Command-Tab keystroke. Right now, the Dock will grab it come hell or high water, and a lot of people had a different program switcher (LiteSwitch X, Program Switcher from Keyboard Maestro, etc.) grabbing it. Please? Pleeeeeeease? I'll buy you guys a pizza ... :)

I'll second that. Not having LiteSwitch on Cmd-Tab is messing with my mojo.

Even better, a haxie that fixes the Open/Save dialogs so typeahead works would be killer (old style path menus would be nice as well).

fix open/save and I'll buy it today. I'm aware of Default Folder X, but it does much more than I need (and is priced accordingly).

I'd kill for a haxie to disable the dock with a hot key. If I'm working in Dreamweaver or Photoshop I don't want the dock, it's annoying. If I could press command F1 and not see the sucker, I'd be in heaven!

Jon, you know about command-option-D, right?

Ummm ... Would someone post where the Beta downloads are located? I can't seem to find them ...

Ok, I'll add a vote for overriding Cmd-Tab too... I still expect it to open the .h or .cp file in CodeWarrior. Wah!

I'd kill for a tool that brings back the old way of creating and naming a folder: Command-N, type in a name, Enter.

Currently it's too complicated (Shift-Command-N. Hit enter again because your newly created folder isn't highlighted. Type the new name, Enter).

I would like to see a hack that brings back Navigation Services to the Open/Save dialogs with single window viewing, sorry I don't like using column view.

I know we have Default Folder, but it's not enough.

We need a better OPEN/SAVE dialog in OS X. An option to capture the names and a better navigation will be wellcome!!!

Command-option-d does nothing for me... I can set the dock on auto hide. I hate it popping up on me when I dive down for a low pallet. Trust me, being able to disable the Dock would rock!

"Command-option-d does nothing for me"

Did you use Fruit Menu to remove Dock options from your Apple menu? You have to have the Dock options in your Apple menu.

Posted by: Terri on October 10, 2002 1:01 PM

how about moving the dock to the left or right side of the monitor (whichever your cursor spends less time at). Not exactly what you are looking for, but it may help.

Posted by: jeremy on October 10, 2002 1:45 PM

It works, it just does nothing special for me. I want the dock GONE. :-D

Posted by: Jon on October 10, 2002 10:56 PM

OK, two options:

1. Prevent dock pop-up in Adobe apps

2. Third party Utility (scroll down to "DockDisabler")
