レビュー

TinkerToolはmacOSの追加の環境設定にアクセスすることができるユーティリティ。オペレーティングシステムやシステム、いくつかのアプリケーションの隠れた機能を有効にすることができる。

設定の変更は現在のユーザーにのみ影響し、ツールを使うのに管理者権限は必要ない。この設計方針により、ユーザーの権限が制限されている環境でもTinkerToolを問題無く使用することができる。また、オペレーティングシステムのコンポーネントも変更しないため、システムの完全性が危険にさらされることはなく、システム・アップデートに悪影響を及ぼすこともない。これらのセキュリティルールは、macOSのアプリケーションサンドボックスによってさらに保証されている。

TinkerToolによって変更されたすべての環境設定は、Appleのデフォルト、またはツールを使用する前の状態にリセットすることができ、。TinkerTool の動作には、危険なバックグラウンド・プロセスは使用されていない。

Release 9.66 (Build 240111)
Several minor optimizations in the layout of the
preferences panes for specific operating system versions
and languages.
Fixes a problem where panes could unexpectedly be
scrolled in horizontal direction in situations when a
vertical scrollbar was shown simultaneously.
Release 9.65 (Build 231120)
The option to control the delay time for showing help
tags (“tooltips”) was reinstated for macOS 13 and macOS
14.
This version fixes a problem where the visual
instructions to enable Full Disk Access for activating
Safari options were shown with an invalid layout.
Release 9.6 (Build 231024)
For users working with an always visible scroll-bar, the
new version adds a completely revised resize architecture
for the different panes. This results in a more expected
behavior of the scroll-bar indicators.
Users who like to control TinkerTool within a TinkerTool
System window need to update to TinkerTool System 8 version
8.87 or later for technical reasons.
Release 9.5 (Build 230920)
Added full support for macOS 14 Sonoma.
Added new setting to show the Problem Reporter as
application in the Dock when applications crash.
The setting not to prefer iCloud when applications save
documents has been removed because it is no longer
respected by the latest versions of macOS.
Fixed a problem where an outdated designation was shown
for the System Settings application depending on the
user's preferred language.
Release 9.4 (Build 230606)
Added preliminary support for future versions of macOS.
The sidebar is now respecting the user's size
preferences and updates dynamically.
The document icons have been updated and their storage
size has been optimized.
Fixes a problem where the list of sound effects for the
“New Mail“ notification was shown in English instead of
the user's preferred language.
Release 9.3 (Build 230418)
Due to new limitations in macOS developer tools, the
internal architecture of the application has changed.
Users who like to use TinkerTool from within TinkerTool
System 8.5 or later have to update to TinkerTool 9.3 or
later for technical reasons.
Due to a defect in macOS 13, Apple's user preference to
disable the animation for opening windows can have
unexpected side effects when trying to rename documents
via the title bars of windows. For this reason, TinkerTool
will now only support re-enabling the animation, but no
longer switching it off.
Release 9.2 (Build 230404)
This is a maintenance update which fixes a possible issue
with the layout of the Dock pane if a user has Dock tiles
with very long labels.
Release 9.12 (Build 230105)
Fixes a minor issue where commas could not always be
entered into the date and time format fields.
Fixes a minor issue where literal characters at the end
of date and time formats were not always shown in the user
interface.
Release 9.11 (Build 221222)
Some users have been confused that TinkerTool optimized the
menu of currency symbols on the Formats pane by chosing a
random example currency as representative for each symbol.
This behavior has changed. The pop-up button now shows the
unabridged list of currencies supported by the running
version of macOS, even if multiple currencies use the
identical symbol. The functionality remains the same.
Decimal separator for currency values

Release 9.1 (Build 221219)
Added new pane for changing number, currency, date, and
time formats. This pane can act as a substitute for the
missing user interface in Apple's System Settings which is
no longer providing this feature for macOS Ventura. Due to
technical limitations of macOS, the new pane is only visible
if the primary language of your user account is set to one
of the supported languages of TinkerTool. The following
settings are available:
Thousands grouping separator for numbers
Decimal separator for numbers
Preferred currency symbol
Thousands grouping separator for currency values
Decimal separator for currency values
Short, medium, long and complete formats for date
specifications
Short, medium, long and complete formats for time
specifications

The application uses a completely new user interface, based on
the style specifications for the program “System Settings”.
Release 8.6 (Build 221019)
This version recommends an upgrade to TinkerTool 9 when running
on macOS 13 Ventura.
Fixes a problem with the latest versions of macOS, where
incorrect icons could be shown for user guidance if TinkerTool had
no privacy permission to access Safari settings.
Added new option to enable the dialog for fast application
switching on all displays, not only on the Dock screen.
Added new option to active direct mouse control without any
influence on speed or acceleration.
