JORY  I like this app a lot. I've been using it daily since I bought my Garmin Edge 705 and really like nearly everything about it.

The only thing I don't like is that the developer calls it "freeware" when it's really "nagware". The app is "free", but nags you to send a "donation" every time you launch it, requiring you to check a box in order to click the dismiss button. Each day you don't "donate", the time you must watch this nag increases by a second or two.

Honestly, I'd have bought this app three months ago if the developer was honest about it being nagware or shareware and seeking registrations, not "donations".

MSJSTW  Love this app!!

Quick question: Does it support the new iPod nano (5G) yet? I seem to have some problems there - TrailRunner seems unable to import the workout.

But it does work if I choose the nike+ website option.

Thanks alot!

MACSOLU  This developer has got to be setting a record for amount and frequency of updates.

UPALMACDATE  I like this piece of software, it works well and my results can be modified and exported easily. I wish there was a player like Garmin Connect, but otherwise most excellent.

SUF  Absolutely fantastic piece of software. The Garmin Software that comes with forerunner watches pales in comparison. This is easy to use and gives great insight to workouts.

As an aside, there seems to be a few little bugs to work out but the developer seems to be working non-stop as of late. Keep it up lad, your efforts are appreciated.

TIJNTIJN  This programm is very helpful in planning and measuring the distance of new trails around the place I live. Also the import of gpx files and the info from my Garmin Forerunner is working like a breeze. Besides that, the developer is really working hard improving TrailRunner time after time, making it so worth to me to pay the support fee.

HEAVY_SHOWER  Sorry about the delay -- just a note to say that TrailRunner, actually, since several updates back, has stopped causing all that havoc to my preference files -- all original .plist extensions remain as is. Thanks.

On another note, TrailRunner is greatly appreciated, and is a fun way to keep stats on my jogging routes.

HEAVY_SHOWER  I had to go through my Preferences folder, and normally I ignore the Size and Kind categories hidden beyond the Finder window, unless I open the window wide -- well, I decided this time to list everything by Kind. So, upon extending the window to access the column header, so as to view the Kind category, I was surprised to see that practically all of my preference files were identified as "TrailRunner Model Snapshots"! What's that all about??

HEAVY_SHOWER  Evidently the developer doesn't read the commentaries here -- or doesn't give a sh#t.

I'll try posting this at Apple discussion.

FREEZYJOSY  Hi. Why so anonymous? We're still living people behind software and the internet.

But regarding your issue with the preference files. The .plist file extension is a very common file extension like .txt and so on.

The last application that registers on your mac to be able to write this kind of file will be recognized by the operating system and this is being displayed in Finder.

But in general you are right. So I changed my application to be not recognized anymore as it does not make sense in this case to have TrailRunner register as the default application for files of kind plist.

Happy New year,

- berbie.

ROBBY.IS.ON  Heavy_Shower, I thought you were quite rude.

Remember, this is not the developer's forum; this is MacUpdate, a site that lists Mac and iPhone software.

Very few developers actually look at the comments here, Berbie is an exemption. And while he/she didn't answer immediately (which you can't expect), you haven't either.

SANDRO NOEL  Freezy,

Being a developer myself I would recommend that you rename the plist extension to another of your choosing, it does not matter the name of the extension your software will still load the content as a plist dictionary. and this way you will not confuse the rest of the system.

Regards.

KAYEL  This app works great with the iPhone and iTrail. I am still discovering features and I find it very useful to track my workouts and map my progress in training off-road. In addition, the developer is very responsive and helpful. Definitely worth a try. Thumbs up.
