14 DAY TRIAL // Maintain has updated Cocktail, the company’s flagship product for Macintosh users. Version 4.5.1 of the software addresses an issue in which Cocktail may not launch on 32-bit-only Macs, as well as other problems, while adding overall improvements to the software.
Besides the issue with 32-bit Macs, Cocktail 4.5.1 addresses one in which it was unable to search for corrupted preference files, adds Mac OS X 10.6.1 compatibility and contains other minor improvements and bug fixes discovered in the previous version. According to Maintain, the update is highly recommended for all users of Cocktail (Snow Leopard Edition).
Cocktail allows Mac OS X users to fine-tune their systems, enabling or disabling journaling for disks, repairing disk permissions, or setting the disk spindown time. Power users looking to tweak their entire system can run periodic maintenance scripts, enable or disable the Spotlight indexing of selected disks, erase the Spotlight index for selected disks, rebuild the Launch Services database, and more. Cocktail can also be used to customize the look and feel of Finder, Dock and the login window, etc.
“Cocktail is an award winning general purpose utility [...] It is a smooth and powerful digital toolset with a variety of practical features that simplifies the use of advanced UNIX functions and helps Mac users around the world to get the most out of their computers,” Maintain, the developer of Cocktail, says.
