FONSR  Reading the other comments, I guess I'm not technical enough. I purchased Paperless in the MacUpdate bundle and have enjoyed using it sense. Does what I what it to do. Purchased the Pentax DSmobile scanner to work with it. I use it for receipts and documents as I move toward a paperless office. If you want a simple app that allows you to scan, file, and easily search paperless docs, you may want to give it a try.

MARK97  I own several Mariner products, MacJournal, Paperless and MacGourmet Deluxe. I like their apps, but they lack speedy support. There is no reason that paperless should be finally partially updated a month after the release of Snow.

It's plainly obvious that Mariner's office apps are nearly dead. The world has moved on. The world will move on from the rest of the catalog unless Mariner gets it together and brings their speciality apps up to date before inventing new ones. I like Paperless, but I shouldn't have to wait this long for a partial maintenance upgrade. They should be all over this stuff putting out solid apps. Currently the only app that is really solid is MacJournal.

DASEIN888  I keep seeing Mariner products on discounted sale nearly everywhere, and I'm on their mailing list and get discounted promotions all the time. It started sounding like desperation marketing over a year ago.

Go back to your roots, to the quality you had in Mariner Write. There was pride in that piece of software that has since disappeared.

Forget the discounting of increasingly mediocre products, and for having so many products that overlap. Mariner is developing a seriously damaged reputation, Logan, and you guys will go the way of other similar strategies over the past 20 years... Trying to grow too big and doing nothing right.

I see on the Mariner website that Contour is being ported to the iPhone.

Huh? That's your priority? You're porting Contour to the iPhone? Why? What is the purpose of porting a screenplay outlining programming to the iPhone? Such a misguided strategy for your resources, when so many of your existing products need serious work.

I'd recommend fixing Montage and Contour first, as both have a lot of basic problems that are obvious to any user and haven't been addressed in over year. You promised over a year ago that both would be integrated so they work together, but they still don't. You'd have a kick-ass programme if you brought together Montage, Contour, and Story Mill.

Instead you have three has-been products that really are over-priced and under-performing. So you have to keep discounting them.

Nearly every scanner comes with software similar to Paperless. Why are you wasting time with offering yet another?

I'd read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Logan. Return to Quality, with a capital Q.

BENR  The company proudly tweeted a few weeks ago, "We now have more applications in active development than you can shake a stick at, including *3* iPhone apps".

It shows.

They should really consider whether they want more mediocre apps "than you can shake a stick at", or fewer polished, bug-free, best-in-class apps.

I own several Mariner programs, and I'm increasingly disappointed in their attitude.

JOHN-O  I gotta agree with the previous reviewer... This program worked really well, and had great promise, as ReceiptWallet. Then Mariner comes along and snatches it up, throws an ugly icon on it, and basically sets it back a year or more...

Now, they're making claims about working on it, making it compatible with Snow Leopard, but they still haven't fixed one of the most basic bugs [it has a nasty habit of jumping back into the foreground when it saves it's database at regular intervals; bad form!]!!

I sure hope they can start to see and hear the disappointment among the users, and get off their a$$ and make the program what it could be!!

Come on Logan, we know you can do it, so just get on it already, okay??

DASEIN888  Unfortunately, Mariner has lost the plot with their acquisition spree over the past couple of years, I think.

I've purchased several of their products, including this one, and overall there are two problems with every one: 1) half-baked implementation with bugs and/or 2) half-baked implementation that misses obvious opportunities.

I loved Mariner Write. But with each acquisition the thought behind either each new product or the adaptation of each acquisition is somewhat careless or just plain sloppy.

Mariner needs to slow down and clean up their existing product line. The existing ones are mediocre, but they have the material for consolidating some of them and making GREAT products.

But they prefer to offer their products at half price in numerous promotions, and people still fall for it.

Logan, you guys have such great potential to create great products. Stop with this spree of buying up products that are beyond your core expertise. Make what you have perfect and excellent.

MIKAELF  This is a seriously flawed product!

Try this!

Create an encrypted Document Library.

Add some documents.

Choose File > Remove Encryption.

Watch a new EMPTY library show up.

All documents gone!!!

DOMINIQUE PERETTI  Paperless is only application to address a simple issue : to properly archive snail mail.

Other applications just don't get you need for that purpose : an author, a title, a date, a category...

Surprisingly you cannot do that with Devon or Yep.

Sadly, Paperless has SEVERE bugs which prevent you from properly update a title or a field because of a totally flawed auto-completion. (What you type is replaced on-the-fly with previous entries)...

RNETTER  Paperless launches very slow on my Intel Mac. It takes at least 2 to 3 minutes to launch and an other 30 seconds to analyses the pdf. When I print a receipt to a pdf paperless is not launching so I have to do it twice: The frist time it launches paperless and the second time it starts processing the receipt. All of this makes Paperless useless for me. I liked ReceiptWallet but it over time it had the same problems and they did get fixed when RW become Paperless. Mariner Software managed to destroy a lot of software which starts out free or cheap with an enthusiastic developer but then when Mariner Software takes over and the software slowly seems to die or improve less. So don't buy this software. I wish Devonthink would analyses my receipts then DT would be the way to go for me.

DONTIB  Awesome program. I am truly getting a mostly paperless environment. Easy to use and powerful. You can scan with a single pass or multiple pass for multi page documents (the multi pages goes into one document and you select the page you want) I simply don't understand the bad reviews. The only problem I see is with having a scanner that directly works with the program .. fortunately I do (only one scanner works out of three that I have .. need Twain). But you do not have to scan directly into the program. This is a great program .. can't wait for an update.
