My Reviews

.vcs Support

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Perfect, just what I needed. I'm running Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 with Lightning 0.8 on Windows XP Home SP2.

A web seminar was trying to be convenient and offered an "add to calendar" feature, which was only convenient if I could access the .vcs file. T

Thanks to you, I could, which is good because I got my dates mixed up and the seminar is today! lol. Big thanks.

I look for this to become a regular part of sunbird/lightning. I agree that bliss and perfection would be preclude the necessity to manually download/import...but that's minor in my view. It's easy to use, easy to install, does what it's supposed to do. yay.

FoxyTunes

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Winamp, the first player "supported" isn't in the supported "players." A quick glance at the FAQ says that it is, but that if "If your player is not in the player list, try selecting "Generic Player" (more on this below)." Forget it, it's already not worth it to me. Win-amp will remain floating at the top of my screen, playing my music, the way the computer gods intended.

I gave it a three because it sounds acceptable (I was treated to an innocuous, saccharine little number entitled "Hold On" by a guy named "Larry" (Really. Larry.)when I started the player) and if I used one of the six players that came pre-installed (regardless of their claims and perhaps protestations to the contrary), it might rate higher.

I so hate misinformation, no matter how innocent the source may claim to be.

There is nothing to recommend this software that can't be set up with the players it plays...nothing that I can see at a glance, and a glance is all liars and mis-informers deserve from me.

Mouse Gestures Redox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Having returned recently to FF from Opera and one of the things I missed was the Opera's mouse gestures . . . until now! To say you've taken the idea and run with it is like saying that Microsoft wouldn't mind selling some software. What don't you have here? You have almost every configuration possible (and a few that just might be impossible without assistance from fourth-dimensional beings), the ability to edit the gestures provided or go online and get gestures others have created! Yowza!

The only downside so far seems to be matters of what we might call "department of the interior" stuff...the link to the Mouse gestures FAQ in my add-on options window takes me to a page that says that the FAQ is under construction, or some such, when, in reality, there is a perfectly serviceable FAQ at http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/faqs.html.

But that's just complaining about the dust in the sunbeam. I'm very happy with what you've got here. Keep it up.!
