mine had a hickup when google changed my account to the new analytics, I just added the username/password again and it has been fine ever since.

There's a new version on the way which will take full advantage of Google's new reporting

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

I hate using a laptop without it...

This driver gave me trackpad scrolling on my old G3 powerbook (yeah Pismo!). How awesome is that?! Plus hot-corners. Fantastic.

Egh. EGH. No. Mouse motion is jerky and inaccurate, and setting it to OSX Trackpad Acceleration doesn't get it even remotely close to what Apple achieved. I uninstalled it pretty quickly after rebooting the computer to finish installation.
I can see where it'd be useful, but I honestly don't like it. The poor behavior was the biggest immediate turn-off, but quite a few things need to be added/improved for me to even think of using it again.

I'll keep my two-finger scrolling and ACTUAL Apple trackpad acceleration. The trackpad behavior of my Powerbook has made MANY PC-laptop-using friends jealous. This app makes it feel like the trackpads I've tried so hard to avoid.

Hot Corners are really the killer feature of this machine. Now all of a sudden, any app whose core functions can be invoked with a keystroke can now be invoked via a tap on your trackpad. Right now, I have iClip, Desktopper, and Trampoline all linked to hot corners.

The possibilities are boundless...

Just sooo much better than acrobat for viewing pdf's too.

But it does open macpaint files, and windows .ico files. It cannot save in so many formats, but it load a lots of rare formats (like many new mac apps, since this is the system functionality).

so essential, it's in my dock :)

I can't live without it's ability to open .pdf files natively.

"Since Tiger it won't open animated GIFs anymore. Shame on you."
You're right, that really pissed me off.

PDFView is better for reading PDFs: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/pdfview

I think Xee (http://osx.iusethis.com/app/xee) is better than Preview for viewing images.

You can still open annimated GIFs in Preview you just need to hit the drawer button to see the other frames and then click the gray arrow.

Not many know about the Slideshow feature in Preview.app, but it's pretty sweet. Try it out: open up a bunch of images (perhaps a folder) in Preview and then go to the View menu and select "Slideshow" (the keyboard shortcut is Shift-Command-F).

Once in there, you can fit the images to screen and add it to iPhoto, but the best part is the "Index Sheet" (This also has a keyboard shortcut -- "i"). This action makes preview a good lightweight alternative to iPhoto for browsing photos.

For Quicksilver fans, there is a Slideshow action plugin that makes this action accessible without entering Preview at all. Very useful.

Also try Skim PDF Viewer for your PDFs. I find it loads faster plus has more features if you need them.

I definitely agree - Xee is better than Preview for viewing images.

One of Xee's main benefits is that when you zoom in and out of the image it intelligently resizes the window... I can't stand Preview's behaviour of keeping the window size the same and just zooming in and out of the image. It means you always have to manually resize the viewing window.

it's not feature-rich, but nothing beats it speed-wise for PDF files.

i love preview but i grew tired of not being able to browse through image folders, tried jview and xee, stayed with jview for the stripped down/processor friendly aspect and have been happy ever since. still use preview for pdfs (and functionality gripes aside it's a great app).
