Leap Fighter Mac OS
- Leap is a combination Spotlight, Bridge, Finder, and more. The Finder on OS X is slow, cumbersome, and limited. The Finder search interface is very cumbersome. Leap shows you all your files and more importantly - where they are on your computer. No other tool does this. Works great for images and PDF's, too.
- Due to the increased security restrictions in recent versions of Mac OS X, anyone installing LeapFrog Connect on these versions of OS X will have to perform an extra step to properly install and use the software. This step involves enabling the LeapFrog Connect system extension in the Mac OS security & privacy panel. If you see this message at the end of installation, then you will need to go through the.
- Leap can be installed on Mac OS X 10.7.2 or later.
Reports indicate that someone has let loose a “Trojan horse” or worm for Mac OS X users. The program is hidden within a package that purportedly contains screenshots of Apple’s as-yet unannounced next major revision to Mac OS X. Whether it’s a Trojan horse or worm seems to vary depending on the source of the information. The code has also elicited a response from Apple, and a warning to its customers.
The Leap Motion works on all of these OS-es. While not initially developed on the Mac, the intention was that the lazarus components for the Leap Motion were usable on all platforms that the Leap supports, and this includes Mac OS. 1 Introduction The Leap Motion works on all major platforms: Windows, Mac OS and Linux. So does Lazarus. The control panel in Classic Mac OS versions 6, 7, and 8 only allows the date to be set as high as 31 December 2019, although the system is able to continue to advance time beyond that date.
The package, called “latestpics.tgz,” first surfaced recently on a Mac rumors Web site. Independently verified by Ambrosia Software president Andrew Welch, he’s dubbed it the “Oompa-Loompa Trojan,” because the files in question check for the presence of an attribute called “oompa” — an apparent reference to the movie and book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”
Welch provides extensive details on the Ambrosia Software discussion forums.
When unpacked, the archive includes an application that resembles a JPEG file. When it’s clicked on, the file executes and attempts to propagate itself via the buddy list of Apple’s instant messaging software iChat.
Welch is careful to point out that this should probably be considered a Trojan horse, rather than a virus, “because it doesn’t self-propagate externally.”
So-called Trojan horses are differentiated from viruses because they masquerade as a regular application or file and do not replicate themselves arbitrarily.
Anti-virus software maker Sophos takes issue with this description, claiming this is the “first ever virus for Mac OS X.”
“OSX/Leap-A is programmed to use the iChat instant messaging system to spread itself to other users. As such, it is comparable to an email or instant messaging worm on the Windows platform. Worms are a sub category of the group of malware known as viruses,” said Sophos in a statement.
Symantec similarly classifies it as a worm, and classifies its threat containment and removal as “easy.” McAfee, makers of Virex, also call the code, which they refer to as “OSX/Leap,” as a worm.
Intego, makers of VirusBarrier, also confirmed the trojan horse’s existence. Because the code is distributed by iChat, Intego said, people are more likely to presume the file is legitimate. Intego advised users to update their virus definition files and “never open files received by e-mail or iChat unless they are sure that these files are safe.”
Sophos, Symantec, McAfee and Intego have all added the code’s description to their Mac anti-virus software files, which can be downloaded from each publisher’s respective Web site.
OSX/Leap-A, Oompa-Loompa, or whatever else you want to call it, also requires an admin password if you’re not running as an admin, said Ambrosia’s Welch.
Additionally, Ambrosia’s Welch said the software has a bug in its code that prevents it from working and prevents infected applications from launching. Still, he strongly advises users that find the “latestpics.tgz” file to avoid downloading or running it.
Apple also commented on the release of the code in a statement provided to Macworld .
“Leap-A is not a virus, it is malicious software that requires a user to download the application and execute the resulting file,” said Apple. “Apple always advises Macintosh users to only accept files from vendors and Web sites that they know and trust. We have a guide to safely handling files received from the Internet at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108009.”

Leap 4. A more natural way.
Leap Fighter Mac Os X
With Leap you find things based on your natural memory of that file. “Hhmm it was a big photoshop file of a basketball court” or “Something I tagged important” or “A word document somewhere in my documents folder”. With the Finder though, it’s more like “I think it might be called bball.psd and that I put it in the originals folder in images in the Project 29 folder which I think I put in Documents… nope, not there… where did I put it?”
Folders and rigid hierarchies might have made sense back when we had hundreds of files, but we’re now swimming in images, files, movies and other data. That’s where tags come in. Tags are keywords that you assign to a file. This makes it extremely easy to find documents, regardless of their location. Why hunt through an arcane hierarchy of folders and files to find the document we want? Apple’s Finder first came out over 20 years ago and we think it’s time for a new approach to finding, organizing and browsing your most important documents.
Latest macOS ready.
Leap 4 has been updated to work with the latest macOS and development is ongoing. If you have used our products in the past, then simply running Leap or Yep will convert all your tags. More information is available here and here. We keep Yep tuned as Apple releases new OS versions.
Welcome to the Dark side.
Our most requested feature is finally here… support for Dark Mode! Whether you’ve been turned to the Dark (Mode) side, or you’re a fan of sticking to the Light, we’ve got you covered. (Requires macOS 10.14+)
Serendipity. (You have to be good to be lucky, and lucky to be good).
Wikipedia defines serendipity as the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
Leap’s ability to quickly browse like documents allow you to stumble upon not only the file you were looking for but sometimes an even better one that you weren’t looking for. Leap’s search results show up as beautiful, scalable thumbnails that can be ordered anyway you want.
Use Leap’s loupe tool to inspect the document in perfect detail.
