CRWRIGHT Remote is nice enough. Macros work sometimes - with lots of effort to set them up. I've resorted to just using it as a very flexible multi-brand learning remote... as usually the macros get confused by some component that either missed a command or was on when it was expected to be off... or the like. The software is only eclipsed by some of HP's worst printer drivers in "Windows bodge comes to the Macintosh". The good news is that it's just as terrible on a PC (I've tried it in parallels under Win2k). The user interface was written by someone whose idea of slick and well laid out was Windows 3.x. There are radio buttons with "Next" buttons at the bottom (frequently below the bottom of the window). There is an unscalable Wintel window inside of a resizable Mac window. The unscalable window is not large enough for most of the screens once you add any devices... so you have to scroll within a scrolling window to find your "Next" button. No default button, so you must ALWAYS click. No default radio buttons, so you must always choose one (even if the choice is obvious). Dreadful, embarrassing, convoluted, inconvenient, ill-conceived and ill-executed piece of rubbish, this software. I think that pretty much covers it. But if you've used their mouse drivers before you're probably used to that. Still and all - I like the remote; but I could write a better interface in AppleScript if I had the APIs for the stupid remote. (Version 7.5) |
