kmanrox · 04-22-2009, 06:28 AM

Brujah · 04-22-2009, 07:05 AM

What is Slush?

Davidstinator · 04-22-2009, 07:25 AM

How about Parallels - a windows emulator - lets you run all those apps that you cant run on OSX... I had way too many programs that I missed from my windows computer - and now I can run them on my mac!

SNL · 04-22-2009, 07:33 AM

VLC
Smultron - great text editor
Stickies
Cyberduck - great FTP
Adium
Terminal
1Password
Tomato Torrent - movies
aMule - music

XXXInsights · 04-22-2009, 07:35 AM

Slush is a video thumbnailer, it's still in beta, search for Slush on GFY and i guess you can find the programmer to request a beta. Really cool software.

gleem · 04-22-2009, 08:06 AM

R-name - for renaming batch files, this is the best
I-view - trust me, you need it for work files, like iphoto but with batch changes/edit/rename features
Fetch- Best FTP client, although I end up using other slower bulkier clients like netfinder and cyberduck if I need to open a bunch of windows at once or anything in bulk like setting permissions.
TuneUp Great itunes add-on for cleaning your library up and auto adding covers and stuff

vidvicious · 04-22-2009, 08:19 AM

mpegstreamclip - absolutely essential for video editors. (I use it daily)
FCP HD studio 2
Lightroom
Filezila
Firefox
adium
Star Office (beta)- runs all Office files and more

I' wanna give that Slush a try, anyone find a good flash coverter? I have Sorrenson Squeze for mac now, but i must of done something fucked cus i keep getting the flip4mac Icon when converting wmv's to flash ... Oddly enough you get the full version of f4m in studio 2

vidvicious · 04-22-2009, 08:21 AM

HUGE MAC QUESTION >>> how the F---K do you change the presets for Skype!! fucker keeps launching on start up .. and I can't seem to find the settings in the preferences menu

AdultKing · 04-22-2009, 10:00 AM

Easy if the Skype icon is in the dock, click it and hold the mouse buttong down until you get a little menu above the icon and untick open at login.

Ava Knight · 04-22-2009, 10:16 AM

Quicksilver is the only real way to open apps and folders

alexchechs · 04-22-2009, 10:18 AM

Thanks for that. I'm trying out Interarchy now and so far it's awesome. Much closer to FlashFXP for the PC which is bar-none the best FTP client ever created. I've been trying to find a decent FTP client for Mac. Filezilla was the best I had found so far. I don't understand all the love for transmit. I can't stand it.

Quicksilver used to be good, but hasn't it stopped being dev'd for EONS?

I switched to LAUNCHBAR and find it MUCH better.

My 5:

Launchbar - first thing I ever install on a new mac

Text Expander - fucking genius app, you teach it some shortcuts for words, URLS, phrases you type frequently. And it then inserts those longer phrases.

Tweetie - great iphone twitter app now ported to OSX

Adium - obviously

PathFinder - like finder on steroids

biskoppen · 04-23-2009, 03:49 AM

A pc

... ;)

lofasz · 04-23-2009, 03:53 AM

Eclipse with PDO and Subversion - integrated dev environment
Handbrake - video transcoder
FireFox - duh
OpenOffice - I hate Microsoft
Quicksilver - application access utility
ffmpeg - video transcoder - command line
darwinports - mechanism for accessing over 6000 other apps

lofasz · 04-23-2009, 03:56 AM

Skype -> preferences

Don't recall but think it's in the advanced tab.

you might be right there .. I just never had that F4M watermark appear before. It did it when i useed sorrenson to convert a wmv to a flv ... one time thing .. very odd . other then that I've been cutting, converting wmv's without any porblems ...

What difference did it make when you bought f4m ?
