    ****.

    BOSX  So far this app has been working wonderfully.

    Hasn't crashed once I might add.

    Favorite features thus far ...

    • Outliner

    • iCal Sync

    • Transfer (aka cloning)

    • Custom Columns

    • Sources -- the ability to link files and urls to individual tasks -- and view web pages and other file types within Process.

    After using it for a few weeks, here's some features I thought might be welcomed additions (in no particular order):

    Flag option, like in Mail, Mori, Yojimbo, etc.

    Drag and drop capability of "transfer" command (an awesome feature by the way).

    Trash Can for deleted items.

    Manual option for Archive command, in addition to automatic.

    Nested Project capability, like tasks.

    Option to not include "transfer/cloned" items in smart projects. At present duplicates show up, which limits their usefulness.

    Custom project icons, like Journler has for folders, where you can add an image to represent its contents/purpose.

    Quick entry panel -- like Things, OmniFocus, etc. -- and/or a Service that can be used with Quicksilver, for easily adding items to a project, i.e., an inbox.

    Keep up the good work.  (Version 3.0)

    BOSX  You guys rock. Nice job. Boy it was a long time coming -- but it sure seems worth the wait. I can't wait to get started using Process 3. It even has seem-less 2-way ical syncing! Yahoo!

    At 39 it's a steal. And with upgrades at only $19 you have got me sold without a doubt! This is one of the fastest upgrades I've every decided upon.

    I'm more than excited I can't tell you. If you are overly frustrated with the state of outing and task managers -- and don't want to compromise functionality for eye candy or vice versa -- give the new Process 3 a try. I am overjoyed that these guys have revitalized this app. The syncing problems of version 2 should now be a thing of the past. Boy, I'm sure glad I upgraded to Leopard. Thanks a million guys. You have made my day.  (Version 3.0)

    MACAHOLIC!  While I freely admit that I like several aspects of Process, such as iCal integration (wish for Addressbook integration as well, please), it's Cocoa UI aesthetic, it's document linking IN THEORY), there are some precarious bugs with this app.

    File saving should indeed be automatic. And I have on occasions experienced it NOT saving when quitting, myself. This induces a high degree of mistrust in the application... and such applications REALLY need rock-solid dependability!

    File linking is inconsistent -- not from a bug perspective, but rather by design. The Process data files are in fact packages, and SOME file types indeed get "eaten" by Process, as they are moved into your data file's package. This is damned dangerous if you ask me. And, it's a little too aggressive o Process' part, thinking it can be-all and do-all as well as other dedicated applications. Process should simply utilize Finder aliases. This would make tracking of files that are moved, as well as being able to reference one file more than once within Process, easier. My Process data file is littered with broken links.

    Unless I am not using it properly, the iCal integration is buggy. When I try to set a future iCal event as an alarm, Process puts it in on the DATE CREATED.

    Also, you cannot fully search note contents; only "Item" (or event heading) text. This is a major problem, as -- at least as far as I can determine -- because a lot of data is "hidden" from Process' search function. I have many Items with the default not loaded with text. But, I can't search this text. Major problem.

    Also, it would be great if, while being able to preview web pages within Process, an option to "Open page in default browser" would be highly welcome.

    And yet, with all these problems, I have twice tried OmniOutliner... but have come back to Process. Process feels like a Mac application, whereas Omnioutliner feels like a Windows port. I really like its iCal integration... if I can get it to work properly.

    Process is in dire need of a major revision and ironing-out of bugs. It's potential is serious.

    OH! AND PLEASE JUMSOFT do NOT go the way of iCal/Leopard and eliminate the shelf. I absolutely HATE the way Apple changed iCal in this regard. WAY too many clicks/keystrokes to get editing on stuff.  (Version 2.0.3)

    AROBULACK  Jumsoft is clearly a very ambitious company, considering their wide variety of product offerings. However, consider carefully before you lay out your hard-earned cash for any of them.

    The company's support is dismal, and they permit well-known and documented bugs to exist in their products for long periods of time (i.e. Process went for almost a year without a single upgrade, despite their public acknowledgement that several of its key advertised features were non-functional).

    This is a company that needs to take a step back and decide if they're all about quality or quantity. Currently, for them, it's quantity, and hence the quality of their products and their support system is very low.  (Version 2.0.3)
