Re: REALLY disable update check?

Thanks, Frank. I looked around and found it among the Legacy downloads on the main Downloads page.... By sheer coincidence, I see that it's dated this past Tuesday, the day before my post. (I wouldn't have thought to download it again in a million years, because it's the same version number 1.2.1.0 ...

REALLY disable update check?

Is there a secret defaults write command in Terminal to really, truly disable update checks? I get an annoying update dialog every time Macs Fan Control launches, which means that my fans don't run faster after CPU-intensive bootup & login, if I forget about the update check and walk away from m...

Re: Wrong v1.3.0 download link for Snow Leopard?

Oh, I see, thanks!... You know, I never would have found that News item in a million years, because it falls before the " Macs Fan Control 1.2 is out " item, the last one visible on the home page (even after v1.2.1), so it wouldn't have occurred to me to need to dig into the news archives....

Wrong v1.3.0 download link for Snow Leopard?

The "for 10.6" link for Macs Fan Control 1.3.0 still downloads v1.2.1. Could the correct link get fixed, please? Or if that's indeed the correct version for Snow Leopard, then please break it out from under the v1.3.0 heading as a separate link and indicate that it's really supposed to be ...

Re: Macs Fan Control 1.2.1 sometimes uses inordinate CPU

Oh, OK, thanks for the clarifications, Steven ! Looking forward to the next update. Yes, it makes sense for the norm to be one fan for CPU, and the other for GPU. In my case, however, I'm not a gamer or such, and never use my high falutin' NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT; instead, I always keep my Energy Sa...

Re: Macs Fan Control 1.2.1 sometimes uses inordinate CPU

Well, I suppose my data points would not be good ones, sorry, because the few times I notice it happening, I don't let it play out—I just quit and relaunch Macs Fan Control, and things return to normal. I can say that I have LoadInDock running at all times, and I don't have anything else CPU-intensi...

Re: Macs Fan Control 1.2.1 sometimes uses inordinate CPU

For almost two weeks I've run Macs Fan Control without both fans "Based on CPU Diode." (I set one fan to "Based on Northbridge Chip.") I can't tell a difference. So could I get a clarification?—Is having both fans set to the same sensor causing occasional, intermittent high CPU u...

Re: Macs Fan Control 1.2.1 sometimes uses inordinate CPU

Oh, OK.... So I'm still kind of interested academically: inasmuch as the inordinately high CPU usage by Macs Fan Control is only intermittent — and does not seem to be associated with other CPU-intensive tasks I'm doing (although I suppose it could reflect a lingering effect from prior CPU-intensive...

How about a checkbox in Preferences: "Don't open main window on launch"?

Re: Suppress opening of MFC window on launch?

Yes, 10.6.8.

But how can I ignore it if I have to keep my Mac Terminal constantly open and running that session, if I want Macs Fan Control to stay open?

Re: Suppress opening of MFC window on launch?

Thanks for the update, Steven ! • What exactly is the syntax for the "/minimized" command line parameter in the Mac Terminal to start the app without opening window? I tried this but it didn't work: Schmye-Bubbulas-Computer:~ schmye$ open -a /Applications/Macs\ Fan\ Control.app/Contents/Re...

Oh, thank you so much, Steven ! Can you tell us now what the Terminal command syntax will be? The one two posts above can't be right — perhaps you'll have a second, alternative executable in the package accessible only in the shell?, e.g., open -a /Applications/Macs\ Fan\ Control.app/Contents/Resour...

^ Yes, please do in some manner. (With a Preferences checkbox whether to open maximized, or at least a plist key that can be modified with a Terminal "defaults write..." command, or in a plist editor, or, as you say, a command line parameter '/minimized'.) How would the command line parame...

Suppress opening of MFC window on launch?

In MFC prefs, there is a checkbox to, "Autostart minimized with system (recommended)." It adds MFC to one's Login Items in the Accounts System Preference. That means that when launched that way, it runs without the MFC window opening, right? But it does open upon launch when double-clickin...
