I suspect, judging on how they behaved in these 2 years and... on these "new" versions (nothing new at all if not, as in Fresh, deeply worse than old ones), there's someone else behind the company who only tries to maximize profit without any further investment and development
Until someone proves me wrong, I am very, very sad to say: beware!

I will suggest getting Conficker, ZBot and Bredo.

They are good products, and the support has been fine.
Frankly some online reviewers are wholly unfair to the software developers. Some software does deserve to be panned, big-time in some case. But other software not.
And some reviewers' motives are less than genuine.
Yep v2.x is a far more useful product than v1.x. It is perfectly fine.
Come on guys, give the developer credit!
I use Ironic Software's products, as well as EagleFiler and other third-party products.

I'd love to be able to get all my graphics in one place and sort them, but the developers don't get this functionality, and I find it pointless to have it only work with some of my files. v2 strayed even further from this goal.

The tagging feature of Yep is pretty good. However, USE CAUTION switching to a tool like this. The main problem is that Yep uses OpenMetadata rather than the document properties. This means the data is NOT PORTABLE. It will not follow to another computer (easily), nor to a file server, or different Operating System (Windows/Linux). The product seams very useful and cool at first, but when version 4 comes out and they change how they store the metadata, you will be very sorry you invested all the time tagging your files.
I've used other products that use proprietary methods to tag information and learned the hard way to not support products like this. I want any tagging or metadata stored only in the file properties. It will have much longer longevity, be platform independent, and software independent. What if you find a new product you like better in 1 year...
My trials with Yep are generally good. However, I cannot support the product because of the "vendor lock in" approach for metadata.

There is no "vendor lock in" of metadata. OpenMeta is closest thing Mac Users have to a standard for using arbitrary metadata. Not only that but the metadata is completely transparent to Spotlight and any other app using Spotlight technology for searching (including competitive products). It is decidely NOT proprietary. In fact, OpenMeta was created to dissolve the metadata boundaries between applications (and hopefully one day, operating systems but that requires effort on other systems developers).

But it is not possible to enter the registration details. F.e. the name field doubles/adds by entering a new letter the already entered letters. And the mailed serial number in combination with the mail adress doenst work.
Too bad: The support of Ironic Software never helped or answered my mail (send them several mails), and the support of MacUpate never wrote back, too (I know, its not their job to help, but at least they could write back!).
So, has anyone out there an idea what to do???

Also, did you use another email address to request support? I have no emails at all containing your name or the email address you used to register on the Forums.

and i send you (?, well at last to ironicsupport@gmail.com) two mails - on the 10th, and on the 25th dec., and two/three times to macupdate.

well... why it this company using gmail for their support-mails?!!? then they should check every day - at least - this spam folder, I do it for my private mails, because a non spam mail could always defined as spam...
anyway... some days after this feedback here i got a new serial, which is working!...

We got some support emails like this, then on following up, we find that everything is working. 2.0.5 and later largely solve the problem, but if you have a slower computer and a lot of documents it could still take a while to organize everything at the start.

I upgraded to Yep 2.01 and now it won't find *anything*. Tried all the authors' suggested fixes (delete all prefs, re-index Spotlight) with no result.
Yep 1.x works fine so I'll have to drop back to that.

If you'd had issues then try the updated version.
