KPOWICK This program will be useful to a certain type of person, but I'm not one of them. What I mean by this is that the "unique" interface is more "artsy" than businesslike. I felt there was a lot of wasted space due to overly large fonts in some places. Other points noted below: If you don't link files added as external resources, you'll be doubling up on storage as merely dragging and dropping them results in a straight copy, which also means you could easily end up with two versions of the same file if you edit one outside of Pagico. I think that the default for file drag-drop operations should be to link them as an external resource, or at least make that a preference. On a couple of occasions I had problems with the user interface becoming unresponsive for certain actions. Only relaunching the application corrected the issue. While it does come with an uninstaller, it does not uninstall everything (Thank God for Tracker and XScan from RixStep). Some files/directories even required admin level access (SUDO) to remove. Not nice. For reference, I'm running OSX 10.6.1 on a early 2009 MBP 15" with 4GB RAM (Version 4.0 r920) | |

Although I can't comment too much on the "artsy" side of the UI, I do want to point out that you can link to files rather than duplicating them by pressing and holding the "Option" key while dragging. Adding a preference option for it might be helpful and I'll see what I can do on that. Regarding to the uninstaller issue, we'll definitely fix that. Thanks for pointing out. | |

ORION MK. V Slow as pudding on my old MacBook, so I'm guessing you need a little more RAM and faster processor to get the most out of it. Not a criticism, just an observation. (Version 4.0) | |

RYO Hmm... It shouldn't be that slow on a Macbook... What's your spec by the way? | |

RYO Just FYI, Pagico 4 runs at a reasonable speed on my Powerbook G4 (1.67). So I'm wondering there might be something else on your machine that's slowing it down? | |

RPPHOTO Just a pleasure to use, and too beautiful for words. This version is extremely easy to navigate and get use of, highly recommended. The only thing missing for me is the lack of a way to prioritize or manually put into order my timeline projects, but I've figured out workarounds for the time being. (Version 4.0) | |

POMARES Have used Notebook and DevonThink for a while. Both of them I selected for their in-line linking features, despite their ugly interfaces. DevonThink 2 is coming out soon and looks a little better, but Pagico is simply gorgeous and it is a big deal to me. I found Pagico's inline linking features to be its only weakness as far as data management is concerned. I want to be able to select a piece of text and make it a link to another topic. That is not possible in v.3 and the developer indicated that while they agreed that this would be the ideal way of doing inline-linking, they had not been able to develop this feature. The way Pagico handles the cataloging of files is simple and elegant. And v.4 is supposed to make it even better. Pagico will take in just about any file you give it. It is cross-platform. Moving to or from Windows, moving to or from Mac, moving to or from Linux is seamless. I can't think of any other PIM program that will do that for you. Did I say the interface is gorgeous and intuitive? Well, it IS a big deal. Now, Pagico does more than just help you organize your files, it also handles contacts and to-do lists. I use Things to manage my projects and tasks. It follows the GTD principles more closely. Pagico, with workarounds, will give you almost eveything GTD you need but you can tell that it is not meant to be a task management program primarily. Finally, to me the most attractive feature of Pagico (besides it's beautiful interface ?) is the way it uses tags to catalog your files. It's Tag browser, named TagExploré, is very intuitive. It took me a while to figure out how it works, but now that I do, it feels like the model that matches the most closely the way I organize things in my head. Not just simple and elegant, it is very powerful! (Version 3.3) | |

SCOTTGSMITH62 This app does have some promise, but it falls short in a couple of areas. The first issue I had with the application was a general sense of disorder. Part of it was related the fact that general application conventions have been put aside somewhat in order to be original. That's all fine and good, but when you have to spend a considerable amount of time to get beyond that "originality" to get things done, it defeats the purpose in a information management program. The second issue I had with this, is solely related to price. These folks are really proud of their product. For what this application does, it does at a very high price point; i.e., there are a lot of applications out there that do more than this one for the money... just do a little searching. I really do not think that this is worth your hard-earned money, given the high price and cluttered nature of the application. (Version 3.2.0.81b) | |

RYO An uninstaller has been added (and fixed) to the program since 3.1.0.51. Users on either 10.4 / 10.5 will not experience any difficulties in removing the program. Thank you! (Version 3.1.0.51) | |

How did you manual shut the server off. I don't even see it in the process list in Activity Monitor. btw, uninstaller is not in the new installer. | |

THEPRINT This app offers some really nice features, that I as a small business owner had been looking for. I was thrilled when I started using it, but eventually found that the way it was organized, didn't fit with my way of working. The flow just wasn't there. This is just me being kinda picky, so I'm not blaming the software itself for that. My problem came, when I decided to remove the app from my computer. I had no idea about the inner workings of Pagico, but I soon had to learn, because of the Abyss webserver, that Pagico installed alongside. I was unable to remove Pagico, because the server was still running. It took me some research to find out what was going on, and how to remedy it. All in all, I would say it took me about half an hour to uninstall an application. I might as well have been using a PC. In conclusion, Pagico might be good for some, but not for me. Either way, don't expect a smooth uninstall, if you decide to go with something else. (Version 3.0.0.41) | |

RYO I'm sorry for the uninstall experience. We'll definitely come up with a better uninstall solution, as well as a website section providing relevant information. Actually, you should contact us when you had problems. We're replying to all our income emails. Thank you again. (Version 3.0.0.41) | |
 | Mar 8 2008 |
THEPRINT This is why I love the internet: I post a review and get a response from the developer. As for creating a better uninstall and updating information, that's awesome! Two thumbs up. I would have probably sent an e-mail with my problem, had I not been able to solve it myself. Like I said, it took me about half an hour to figure out; usually you have to wait longer than that to get e-mail response. :) (Version 3.0.0.41) | |
 | Mar 8 2008 |
RYO It's great to hear from you again! But you know what, we probably can reply your email in less than the time you spent --- but never mind. Thanks for your message. We'll do whatever it takes to improve our software. Thanks again! (Version 3.0.0.41) | |
 | Mar 15 2008 |
KIDCLAM Can you tell us here then how to uninstall the software? (Version 3.0.0.42) | |
 | Mar 15 2008 |
Actually we've JUST added an uninstaller application to our latest build. Please take your time, download it again from our website, install it, then you'll see the uninstaller. Use it to uninstall safely and quickly. Or, if you don't want to go through the hassle again, you can just trash the "Pagico" folder in your "Applications" folder, then restart your computer before emptying the trash (you wouldn't be able to empty it without restarting). Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience of not having the uninstaller at the first place. (Version 3.0.0.42) | |
 | Mar 15 2008 |
THEPRINT Actually, rebooting might not work. It didn't for me. What I did was open the Activity Monitor (found in Applications > Utilities) and manually shut down the Abyss webserver. Only then was I able to empty the trash. (Version 3.0.0.42) | |

 | Mar 15 2008 |
To use the uninstaller (recommended), please download the latest version of Pagico (Standard) for mac, install it. After the installation, you'll find the new "Uninstall Pagico" application in your "Applications -> Pagico" folder. The uninstaller is not directly included in the downloaded package. Thank you! (Version 3.0.0.42) | |
 | Mar 15 2008 |
KIDCLAM I downloaded our installer again, installed the software and... NO UNINSTALLER. This is getting so lame. (Version 3.0.0.42) | |
 | Mar 15 2008 |
We've just double checked the file downloaded from our server, that after the installation, the "Uninstall Pagico" application is there, in the Pagico folder. It could be caused that you were downloading a cached version of the package, or you were probably have downloaded multiple packages from our website and used the wrong one. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of not attaching the uninstaller in the first place. But please understand that we're actively helping. (Version 3.0.0.42) | |
 | Mar 15 2008 |
KIDCLAM I have received your uninstaller from email, but there are items in the trash that still cannot be trashed, namely "php", "ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so"... anyone know how to trash? (Version 3.0.0.42) | |
 | Mar 15 2008 |
RYO Please try rebooting your computer to resolve this. You'll see the message that the ioncube things can not be deleted if you have trashed the Pagico folder manually without rebooting. So rebooting your machine will resolve the issue. Thanks! (Version 3.0.0.42) | |
