After being supremely upset with the current options for using Hamachi on Mac OS X, and the difficultly of getting it installed in the first place, I set out to solve every issue I've ever had with Hamachi on the Mac. At least, as much as is possible.
It's important to note that I am NOT an official developer for LogMeIn, and this project may not see the light of day due to some issues I cannot yet speak about.
But if this does work out... damn... Hamachi on Mac worries are over.
A full setup assistant allows mind-numbingly simple setup of Hamachi - right down to creating or joining a network. The peers list allows you to pick from any number of default "services" - actions to take on a peer - and you can quickly add your own. You can even assign one to the double-click action of a peer. The three most useful, "Share Screen", "Browse Files", and "Copy Address" are available directly from the main window with a single click.
At this rate, this new app will have some great features that LogMeIn will want to consider integrating into their official product.

Thom,
Fantastic! I hope you're able to get this up and running, and furthermore, able to work out any legal issues with LogMeIn. I use their remote access products all the time, and use Hamachi on all platforms, but only my Windows clients are able to manage their Hamachi networks in any real sense (as you well know). This will be a great asset for Mac users. Please add me to any list you may be creating once you're at the testing stage. I'd be happy to help out. Keep on going! The interface looks great so far.
Best,
Greg Whelchel
