Nice to have URL Manager Pro back. After a couple of years of no support, the developer is creating a Lion-ready Intel version of this program that keeps a unified collection of bookmarks that you access from the menu bar for use in any browser. This is the beta version, but it works well in my tests.
Good program that I've been using since version 1.0. There used to be an issue with audiobook files it created that were longer than 2 hours causing iPod playback to quit, but this seems to have been corrected some time ago, as I've had no problems with recent versions. Well worth the nominal fee.
I was looking for something to replace Steel which I had been using for password storage, but which was being discontinued. Another popular commercial product, 1Password, hadn't been updated for Snow Leopard compatibility at the time. I tried several alternatives and settled on KeePass for its cost ($0), it's simple interface, ability to generate passwords of various types, and its ability to import my Steel data. I like the fact that KeePass is open source, too.
Importing data from Steel took a bit of effort, as Steel exports text files, and KeePass imports XML files. Some documentation on the importing format would have been helpful. What I did was add some dummy data into Keepass X, then exported it. The resulting file shows you what XML tags to use. Without knowing XML, I was able to look at these examples and insert the necessary tags into my Steel-exported text file, which imported OK.
I've been using Keepass X for several months now with no problems or crashes.
