    EASER  I just bought a MacBook pro with Leopard, and I feared the worst. But it's working just as fine as ever for me. Ya, we'll never see another update. And while I own and use DragThing for some purposes, I preferred DropDrawers for launcher and some text pasting features. DD always worked faster for me and had some configuration options not available in DT. Glad I kept a copy.  (Version 1.6.6)

    KOBEGUY  I'm a long time user and big fan of drop drawers, but sadly no update for intel. Performance really needs some tweaking. I would especially like to see improved updating/searching when there are changes in drawer contents. The auto search function never works - you have to update locations manually, which is a major pain. I can no longer recommend this application - save your money until the developer comes through with an update.  (Version 1.6.6)

    HUEVOX  I have used DD since OS 9. But now with my intel computer, DD is a slug. DragThing is what I use now because it is Universal Binary, and a real swift application. I may switch back to Drop Drawers when it is UB. But I'm not keeping my fingers crossed for this to happen. This developer has given no indication of his future plans.  (Version 1.6.6)

    ADAMBERKEY  I am a recent "first time" Mac purchaser. (MB Pro 17") Before I actually got my unit, I was scouring the net for add-on programs that looked to be of great worth to me.

    Drop Drawers qualified immediately.

    Now, questions/commments:

    The drawers do not carry over to the other desktops in Virtue Desktops. Why? Or How can I get them to?

    And of course, the big wish item would be an option for the drawers to automatically close after I select an item from them.

    I wish the authors had a discussion forum for their software. I would love to see a gallery of ways people are integrating Drop Drawers into their computing experience. Myself, I'm firstly using it to store all my applications for quick-launching, in their individual category drawers. I don't care for the Dock in OS X, and I've deleted all the icons out of it so I can use it to quickly access the programs that are in use.

    Thanks for a great piece of software. I use Turbo Launch for Windows XP (http://www.savardsoftware.com/turbolaunch/), and I'd really like to see that for OS X, where access to the items is only one click away, not two.

    The File Cabinet user interface is unique, but I'd rather have everything accessible in one spot of real estate, like Turbo Launch is designed. At least, having the option to make it so would be a HUGE plus!!!
