EDIT: Yep, I did find out about that here. (Thanks Mayo!)

Jumpcut is one of my Must Have Apps. And it's free!
Jim, when I read your title on this thread I thought that you were referring to an iPhone/iPod Touch "app." We may need to consider switching to the term "application" when referring to Mac programs vs. iPhone/iPod Touch software since the word "app" is becoming synonymous with the relatively tiny programs written for the mobile platform...

Methinks there may be something wrong with that file.
Anyone else try it? It looks useful - I'd like to have it.

Mayo, your suggestion is appropos. But I often guilty of laziness, especially when it comes to 'writing.'

In this instance I think that you are blameless. You are merely the victim of a changing paradigm, computer jargon-wise...
I understand that Apple has relatively deep pockets; one of those lawyers that advertise on TV during the day may be willing to take your case. A "finder's/ambulance-chaser fee" can be paid to my PayPal account.
Paddy, I think that there is a problem with the file. When I try to open it I get an error message stating that there is "no such file or directory."

If you folks start 'talking' in text speak, I'll scream so loud you'll hear me from here to there and back again.
It's an app to me -- and always will be, but then I'm not part of this mobile generation.

"Expander" quickly appears as the active application in the Menu Bar, but I get a warning that the files doesn't appear to be compressed..." "Expander," of course, is part of the old program StuffIt which I has been folded into the OS (maybe as far back as Tiger). Default Apps (a program for the Macintosh, I'll fire off a message about the confusing name to the developer) shows ".tgz" extensions set to their 'Default Application" which is "Archive Utility.app (10.5.1)," part of the system CoreServices. I may as well CC: Apple about those extensions, also...
Opening Archive Utility itself and selecting "Expand Archive" presents the usual Find dialog, but selecting the JumpCut_0.63.tgz still does absolutely nothing. Not even a "Excuse me, but I don't know what to do with that file, are you sure you know what YOU are doing?!"
Guess you can delete this thread until I find out what's going on...if I can.
Sorry for the confusion. I have made a habit of checking my links, but I did not try decompressing the file due to other tasks.

BTW, how do you scream in "text speak?" It might come in handy some day...
You Poor Folks who lack AT&T's stellar customer service have my sympathy. iPhone Envy is a terrible thing but it can be treated. The first step in the (naturally) 12-step program: admit that you are powerless over Apple's advertising and the glowing reports from family and friends who are fortunate enough to own an iPhone.
Or you can just get an iPod Touch and chant this mantra: "Screw AT&T." Then it's just a One Step program...

I'm not on the edge (except for living on the edge of the world, but that's a 'horse of a different color' - hehehe) and I was able to download, open and run it. If any of you I really do miss the old scrapbook.
I stored all manner of text, graphics and sounds. You could make more than one scrapbook, and so I had several - all organized by topic. See, there's another thing I could have put in my defunct thread. QUOTE(Mayo @ Jul 6 2009, 03:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Kimmer, it is not "text speak." I have never "texted" in my life nor do I ever plan on doing it in the future.
I'm glad to hear this. Now I don't have to worry about you going over the final edge.

Ummm ... wouldn't have a clue and don't want to find out. HAHAHA

Both do text as well as images. Not free but very comprehensive.

Exactly what I did.

More importantly, how did you unzip the file, kimberly? By using Tiger?!
Or another 'decompression' app?

Or another 'decompression' app? I downloaded by using the link you originally posted. Then I simply 'double-clicked' on the TGZ file and it unstuffed. I'm guessing that Stuffit Expander did the deed.
To get it to Paddy, and now to you, I right-clicked on the app and selected 'make archive' and then sent the zip file to you two fine folks.
I'm running 10.4.11. If that's Tiger, then I'm running Tiger. I've never been able to keep the cat names straight. Seriously. My brain just doesn't work that way.

In reverse order: Leopard, Tiger, Panther, Cougar, Kitty, Marshal Dillon. May have the order of the earliest ones backwards...

You think cat names are hard, wait till they start using Greek god/goddess names!!!
If they do this, I’m totally done for. I have to look those names up to complete crossword puzzles.

It seems that a certain Apple employee that we'll refer to only as S.J. was "gifted" a cute stray pussy cat during his extended convalescence following major surgery of some kind... The idea was that the cat would provide "healing energy" (Hey, Apple is in California so it kinda makes sense...) and speed-up the recovery process. (The gift was from Apple's Investor Relations department.) Anyhoo, the cat took offense at something S.J. did and started using his shoes as a litter box. Rumor has it that said kitty was anonymously "re-gifted" to Bill Gates as a "peace offering"; no word so far about how the feline is doing in his new home...
So the next OS after Snow Leopard is tentatively named "Rover." In honor of the new naming scheme certain core elements of the Mac OS will also be renamed and "tweaked." For example, Spotlight will be renamed "Fetch It!" (My friend informs me that Apple programmers have had a heck of a time with Fetch It!; apparently it insists on retrieving the same file over and over again even when a new search term is entered...)
"Tagging" a file is going to become "marking." The Apple Menu icon will be replaced by a fire hydrant. And the Trash bin will be a 3-D image of a nice green lawn; no word yet how the lawn will appear after something is moved into the Trash.
I'll be sure to keep you folks informed as my buddy passes along more insider info...
