Warning
Authored by: robg on Feb 13, '06 07:08:49AM

This warning will apply to *any* useful and cool app that modifies another program via the Input Manager. Off the top of my head, this would include (for Safari) Saft, Pith Helmet, SafariStand, Sogudi, and Acid Search. It probably also covers Keynote Assistant for iPhoto.

In short, yes, there's some risk. But if the code is written correctly, it will only execute in its target app.

To me, the risk is worth the reward -- I've never had an issue with Input Manager hacks, and I run quite a few of them.
