This thing just quits for me on launch every time using Lion. pft.

Looks good, but beware XHTML fallacies:

CSS Image Encoder

Bdikkat commented on 11 Apr 2012

It's good to minimize HTTP requests, but it's only fair to remind people that base64 Data URIs aren't properly supported in IE, and then only with images up to 32kb (and in IE6 & IE7 not at all, without MHTML techniques).

It's also worth pointing out that all this can be done for free with the Base64 Online Generator:

HyperPdf

This is great, but the swipe direction is the wrong way round (for me at any rate).

I would expect a two-finger swipe from right to left to turn to the next page, but it seems to be set up to do the reverse: i.e., you have to swipe from left to right to turn to the next page.

Also, the swiping works poorly with the Magic Mouse - better with the Magic Trackpad (though the "wrong way round" as I mentioned above).

App 'about' splash screen says 9.2.2 but 'get info' on app says 9.2.1.

Totally brilliant Safari extension. An absolute must-have for me!

Does this have different desktop backgrounds for each desktop? quartz transitions? Can't tell. Can't try, so can't buy.

BlogAssist

Bdikkat reviewed on 20 Feb 2012

You have to (1) copy the text you want transformed, (2) select the BlogAssist transformation selection, and then (3) paste the transformed text.

It would be a whole lot better if you just performed operation 2 on the selected text.

Doesn't work for me. I'll stick to BBEdit's clippings, which is a one-click operation.

Day One

Doesn't actually sync via iCloud until you go to the prefs and click on the sync tab. Doing this somehow makes the sync happen. Might as well have a sync button instead. Which defeats the point of iCloud.

A friend was just using this and wanted to make an entry for 31st July 2011. Except there is no 31st July 2011 in the app! Doesn't inspire confidence..

Fantastical

Bdikkat had trouble on 24 Jun 2011

There are some serious drawbacks to this app. I found that it doesn't keep track of changes in iCal - even when iCal is launched and its entries updated and quit again.

I update iCal, wait for quite a bit, then quit iCal, then look in Fantastical, and I see old entries that have been deleted.

Curiously, I found that Fantastical will accurately reflect what's in iCal *whilst iCal is open* but then it will revert to the earlier (outdated) pattern of events once iCal is quit again.

I therefore simply can't rely on it to show what's really in iCal.

It's a shame, because the eye-candy is nice.

On further testing I can confirm that the app is adding previously deleted repeating events into past dates, except when iCal is open, when the events re-configure themselves correctly. Once iCal is closed again however, the deleted past events return.

Bdikkat replied on 18 Oct 2011

More problems with version 1.1 - now repeating events are shifted one day out! I just cannot rely on this software to show me what's actually in iCal.

Bdikkat replied on 06 Jan 2012

Pleased to say these problems seem to have disappeared - now very happy with the app!

CopyPaste Pro

Bdikkat had trouble on 20 Feb 2011

Trying version 3.0, I copy a chunk of text to an archive slot. Then, when I go to paste it back somewhere (carefully choosing the correct archive, by the way), something else is pasted! Furthermore, I look for the original chunk of text and it's gone! Losing data is the worst thing!

I so want to like this software, because it has one paste function I love: that is to press command-c and a key, like, any key (1, 2, K, L - anything), and then later press command-v [same key] to get it back. That, when it works, is fantastic for my coding workflow. But this "losing data" thing just means I can't trust it and is intensely annoying.
