I have to concur. This was a feature in an earlier release that seems to have
vanished. The false negatives I get
with this new version make it practically unusable.

I have this same problem. I really like the idea of this program but the false
positives are making the program unusable.

False positives happen (to me) with all apps that check the bluetooth status
(Proximity, MarcoPolo, BluePhone, HomeZone, shell-tools). It also happens -
less often
though - on the windows (xp) machines (with Toshiba and Widcom Bluetooth
stacks). I assume, this has little to do with Proximity.
My Out_of_Range-AppleScript therefore asks, if the script should really be
activated. The default button being "Cancel", the timeout 3 seconds. If I am
working, and this
pops up, I just hit return (on the keyboard) and it's gone. Minor
inconvenience, but bearable (for me).
If I am *not* at the machine, this dialog exits after 3 seconds and the script
continues (locking the machine, stopping the media players and that stuff).
Of course the script could just be dismissed the first time and fire only after
having been called twice or three times.
Handling this in a script makes it quite flexible (how many seconds to timeout?
should there be a timeout at all?, how many times after a "false negative" to
fire? warning
by sound? warning by growlnotification? should it only run when in a certain
network?). Although any further development on Proximity.app would be
wonderful, I
wonder how many variations could be implemented in Proximity.app before it gets
too overloaded. I would like Proximity.app to do just *one* thing: Track/Detect
devices
in the bluetooth range.
Maybe doing this in a script isn't the worst way of all.
I know this is not the solution people are looking for (since it is not
implemented in Proximity.app) but might be a workaround for the one or the
other. It's not meant to
be lecturing, but to help those, who are stuck with the current version 1.5.

I've just messed around with the program and it functions quite smoothly. I
don't
have any false positives. The only gripe I have with it is the lack of changing
the
range of sensitivity, which I had with blueproximity in Ubuntu. The applescript
approach is nice though as it forced me to dabble with it and get a bit
familiar with
applescripts. Not sure why others are having issues with random screen
activations...
