This software could have great potential, but sadly in reality it crashes constantly which makes it unworkable. I tried it out on a mac running Lion and used one of the templates; I deleted the text in the template and proceeded to use the two separate image objects but when attempting to move the second object it kept crashing, for some reason it allowed me to move the first object but repeatedly crashes and aborts when trying to move the second.
If they could address the crashing and implement some needed edit features that are more professional as the title suggest, then thats a start. Price is bizarre in its current state, needs to be one tenth what it is once they sort out the crashing problems, then increase the price a little when they incorporate much needed essential basic features (i.e. opaque/transparencies and much more besides) and only then put the price back up once they incorporate truly professional features.
Oh and put a demo out!
But all's not lost, as I said it has potential and is currently at the 'make and break point', therefore if they take note and practice the above then this could have a happy ending and Logo Design Studio 'Pro' may soon or eventually be a very worthy piece of software.
I did try AppCleaner and AppZapper side by side on an App and have to say that AppZapper did pull up a couple of extra related-to-the-App files - just an observational test that showed me AppZapper appeared to be more thorough, however in all fairness I didn't test them both for uninstalling a number of other different Apps as I continued to use AppZapper. If I can remember which App it was, then I'll post back here (was several weeks ago that I noticed the results).
I'm genuinely looking forward to buying this when it has been fully fixed.
I've run the demo on Lion and was hoping the comments were untrue with regards to the problems. However unfortunately there are issues and Lion becomes ill with Hands Off running.
Lion and Apple are not without blame as there are glitches and bugs in Lion (being the fist public version) and Lion has made many other Apps become problematic and I envisage a long slow uphill experience of identifying problems, researching, querying, downloading, updating and an initial period as painful as having your teeth pulled out before reaching an eventual stage where everything is happy on OS 10.7 (probably just months before OS 10.8 comes out in the future... it's not that bad really, just joking!).
Hands Off is very promising and does way much more than what Little Snitch could ever do and has infinitely more power and control, which is why it upsets Lion as it may be being a little to restrictive on some undisclosed operations that Apple have added before enlightening everyone.
I'm sure Metakine is working flat out to cure the problems and while it is temporarily broken, it wouldn't be such a bad idea if they reduce the selling price further just for the time being so that people could maybe install it and set it disabled OR network firewall mode only with also just the update checks enabled as well, so that users could immediately download any fixed version when detected and use it fully with fixed disk access control as well, the minute the fixed version is made available. How about it Metakine?
Easily Five stars when fully fixed for Lion (with backwards compatibility for Snow Leopard, for multi boot systems).
Small detail I know, but would like the 'mouse-over' the network monitor within the top menu bar to temporarily show the larger fully detailed network monitor window, until you move your mouse pointer away (just as with Little Snitch). That way you can see it on-the-fly when you so desire without clicking on any settings and then mouse away for it to fade away and not obstruct the desktop.
