Smart Widget Installer 1.1


Tired of Dashboard closing your open widgets whenever you install a new version of widget?
Tired of Dashboard closing your open widgets whenever you install a new version of widget? Smart Widget Installer is the answer.

Just drop any number of widgets on the app to install them. If the widget is not installed it will install normally. If it is already installed, you get the smart upgrade option, which will update the widget without closing any copies you already have open.

This will work with any widget, though it is particularly useful with Delivery Status. If you are tired of having to move your widgets back in place every time you update them, Smart Widget Installer is the app for you.

What's New in This Release:

  • Completely rewritten in Cocoa instead of AppleScript for better performance and reliability.
  • Improved compatibility with Tiger (10.4.10 or later).
  • The widget’s icon is now displayed in the installation dialog box.
  • In addition to dropping a widget on the application icon, you can now choose “Install…” from the File menu.
  • After a smart upgrade, a brief “Installation complete” message is now displayed.
  • Select All and Copy are now available, which should make it easier to report errors, if necessary!
