Snow Leopard – The What It Broke Edition (updated)
- Tony Mattke
- MAC
- September 4, 2009
Snow Leopard was released on August 28th, and at 1:37pm I received my copy and proceeded to install it like a well trained puppy. After installing, I think I was more obsessed with playing with / finding new features than even testing out any of my software. Here is a list of things that no longer work on my mac in order of annoyance.
- Witch, or more specificly Application Enhancer (APE) [my post on witch] – UnSanity, who develops APE has not stated if an updated is on its way or not. Judging by the state of their website, it could be a long while.
- top – ok, its not broke, but what jacked up version of top did they ship with Snow Leopard?
- Crossover, which I only use for Visio. – Although it appears Crossover 8 is fully compatible with 10.6, I am unable to upgrade, since I picked up my copy when they were giving it away for free. $40 fix
- Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client – Other people are having mixed results with this one. I need to find a newer version to try out, but it is not working for me.
- My tftp server – I haven’t dug into this one yet, but the client I used for controlling tftpd stopped working.
- My GeekTool Scripts – I’m still working on rewriting the one for my wireless ap / signal
- Little Snitch – There appears to be an update to this, altho I haven’t tried it.
- CandyBar Icon Switcher – I was able to update after installing Snow Leopard, and now this appears to be working just fine.
Thats all I can think of, I’ve yet to try a few applications, but everything I need for everyday life works minus a couple of things above. Not having my application switcher is really annoying and by far the thing I miss most. Although if you were to ask me how do I feel about upgrading? Overall I’d say slightly annoyed, but then again, I’m pretty happy.
**Update:**I forgot to mention that InsomniaX has been broken by the blood thirsty Snow Leopard, and the developer
has released an update
. Also, the maintainer of the tftpd gui app has on support.apple.com regarding a fix for his application.
Update 2: TftpServer has been updated !
Update 3: APE, and PullTab have both been updated. So has Witch!
