I'm thoroughly bewildered by this application. If I add pdf documents, then attempt to search either by a word contained in the title of one of the documents or by a word contained in the document itself, no results are returned. If I then try to add a document or a set before clicking the cancel button that appeared after initiating a search by typing something into the text field then pressing return, the application stops responding. If I select Preferences from the File menu, nothing happens. I'm using 10.6.2 and Shoka version 1.5.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm working on version 0.2 and should definitely take care of these bugs.
Some features are only placeholders and will be removed in next version. until they become usable.

Mauro.

I like it! This is just what our group has been needing.

To the other reviewers; this is a cross-platform piece of software, and developing in Cocoa adds complexity which simply is not necessary. Java and SWT on the other hand work on all the major operating systems without modification. Read the developer blog.

My thanks to the developer.

I concur with previous speaker. Although I'd like to thank the developer for a fine product!

Please use Cocoa not Java, you'll get a much nicer interface which will not look like an OS 9.0 app.

As my target with Shoka is a multiplatform application and I don't have enough time, I'm developing only one crossplatform interface. I know on osx it is slow but I'm working to make it usable. Maybe in the future I can build a pure cocoa frontend.

Who cares what it looks like? I'm interested in functionality. I don't see that this will do anything that I cannot already do with Spotlight, and far less than I can do with Yep.

Not the network sharing, as far as I know. :)
