OCSmart Hacks 2.03
Overview
OCSmart Hacks is a service bundle, which considerably extends the functionality of any native, Cocoa-based Mac OS X application: among others, it supports the following services:
and much more: see please the other Help pages for details.
Note please that OCSmart Hacks from β.1 up need a Panther (10.3) or newer Mac OS X release to run. The newest release needs Tiger. They will not run properly in any previous Mac OS X release. This release supports both Intel and PowerPC machines.
Beware that due to how Apple crippled Input Managers in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Hacks would not run there "out of the box"! You would have to move them from ~/Library to /Library and change the access rights yourself. There are likely to be more serious limitations in newer releases (10.6 and up) -- unlike in Leopard this was not tested.If still interested, here are detailed instructions.
At the moment of 2.03 releasing, amongst non-Cocoa – and therefore not, repeat not, supported by OCSmart Hacks – applications were e.g., Finder or iTunes of Apple, Firefox or Thunderbird of the Mozilla Corporation, or most Adobe applications. If you do not know what Cocoa means and how a native Cocoa application differs from a legacy Carbon or non-native Java/X11 yourself, do please enquire for the current state of any application you are interested in with its respective developer: he would know.
Download and Registration
The current public release is 2.03; download it from www.ocs.cz/OCSmartHacks/OCSmartHacks.2.03.dmg (Tiger/Leopard, Intel/PPC).
You can test freely by activating in the OCSmart Hacks Application. To be able to use Hacks in any Cocoa application, you need to register it buying a registration key through KAGI (order.kagi.com/?4TK&lang=en) and entering the key and your e-mail address into the Registration panel in the OCSmart Hacks Application.
The key has no time limit and will apply for all minor upgrades; the price is $29. One key can be used for up to three installations (to cover up the very common case of using the software both on a desktop and on a laptop, with one copy to spare). For more installations separate keys have to be bought: if you need a multilicence, contact me please at ocs@ocs.cz. The 1.0 keys still work in 2.0: no upgrade fee.
