Path Finder

I do not like some of the "new" interface changes, especially the label colors and inability to add a background pic to views, but everything else is like you would expect from Cocoatech.
And I do love the ability to add metatags.
So... My apologies for flying off the handle earlier. I'll go and eat some crow for lunch!

The ability to add to metatagging of files is a nice addition, but not nice enough for me to purchase this upgrade right now. I've reverted to version 5, thanks to Time Machine and am back to being happy.
I do hope the great folks at Cocoatech are listening. PF has been one of my top most used apps, but version 6 is just embarassing.

I'll keep trying this, and will revisit my rating later [this is what I get for staying up too long and not getting my rest! I get cranky...]

Apple OS X Lion
Anon-Bud reviewed on 24 Apr 2012
I am writing this short review to let folks know that the downloading and installation of Lion does go very smoothly for many people. Installation from Snow Leopard was very straight forward for me. I was up and running in just a few short hours total. And the transition to iCloud went far more smoothly than I could have imagined.
Overall, I like Lion, though there are some things to get used to: not utilizing Spaces in quite the same way as in the past; the scolling [which does seem very backwards and non-intuitive to me]; the inability to access the Dock when in full screen mode; "Launchpad" and "Mission Control" are cartoonish titles and should be replaced' actually, Launchpad should be replaced with LaunchBar!
I have noticed a bit of slow down and some spinning beach balls, but sense that will get better once the system has fully indexed.
BTW- I am using an early 2009 17“ MBPro, 2.66Ghz, with 4G Ram

But, after an initial import of all my financial data via a .qif file, which worked very well, I can no longer get this app to import anything. Sent a bug report and haven't heard back....
Just an FYI

Sorry. I'm sure this might be a fine app, but I cannot risk shelling out this kind of cash without working a demo first.
No Demo. No Sale.
Organize for Mac
1) Thanks for giving us the opportunity of a demo!
2) Thanks for giving us the opportunity to purchase online!
That's the good. Now the not so good:
1) Really small font for tasks keeps me from looking at this as a serious contender with other similar to-do/task apps.
2) Really quite complicated to learn.
3) Would be nice to have pop-ups telling me what the various secions of a task item are.
4) Did I mention that the font sizes for task items is too small? I cannot seem to find any way to change this.
Due to to negatives I just cannot go any further with this. I'll keep this on my watch list, though, just in case some of the above gets improved.

I've been using SV for about a year with my website [check out my MU profile to find where my website is] and have had a good experience with it. I especially like the Google diagnostics.
It just keeps getting better, IMO.

I didn't use a blogger page because I wanted complete control over all elements of design and wanted to host my own site and have my own files locally stored. Also I didn't like what these type of sites offered.
I used iWeb for a number of years and couldn't get it to do anywhere near what SV allows me to do.
I will admit that my site is not very complex. I have only begun to scratch the surface with SV, but, so far, I am really quite pleased with it.

Leap
HS is an alternative to Spotlight and does a better job of finding meta tags than Spotlight and is quite a bit faster at this than is Leap.
With HS you have the same file-peering capabilities as Leap [different views, Quick Look, etc.] but is lightening fast.
Check it out!

Very confusing?
