In previous versions of AppFresh you could edit the name of an application’s iusethis.com entry but this seems to have been removed in the latest version.

This means that unless an applications file name matches exactly the iusethis entry it can never be listed via AppFresh. For example, I use the DoSomeWhen preference pane which is /Library/PreferencePans/DSW.prefpane … iusethis lists this “Do Something When” … a search for “DSW” reveals no apps by this name.

You could argue that this is a flaw in iusethis but I did find the “edit iusethis entry name” function useful in the past.

Since the switch to the all-new AppFresh it isn’t working for me anymore (Leopard 10.5.2).

AppFresh only detects a small number of up to date programs and a huge number of unknown ones.

Most of these have not been unknown to it before the switch and some were not up to date at all as I found out when I started them.

Even worse – when I reset the version informations AppFresh starts to count my applications and in the end unknown and up to date programs together are less than the total number (and no programs to update). If I repeat this a few times every time the number of up to date programs is different and some of the programs are too. It looks totally random.

Am I the only one with these problems?

Hi, this isn’t the biggest of problems, but appfresh wont connect to iusethis.com. I get that my iusethis credentials are invalid, but I promise you they are… I’ve gone back and forth from the site to appfresh entering the same information. works on iusethis, but no in appfresh… no biggie, just spreading awareness!!! !

It keeps showing FlickUploader being at 3.0.3, but I have installed the update that AppFresh downloaded (3.0.5).

Please update to AppFresh 0.6.2 or download it from http://metaquark.de/download/appfresh – if you ran ‘defaults write de.metaquark.appfresh IUEnableMicrosoftAutoUpdate FALSE’ please now run ‘defaults delete de.metaquark.appfresh IUEnableMicrosoftAutoUpdate’ once to restore default behaviour – it doesn’t crash anymore.
