Path Finder aspires to be something beautiful... and it succeeds on many levels --- except one. Stability. The devs are super-friendly and helpful --- but they can't seem to make their software stable. I've installed a few different versions of Path Finder over a period time hoping the bugs would be gone and the results have always been the same --- unreliable performance. Most notably are random crashes and freezes, especially when "hiding" the application. There are other minor annoyances that I could easily overlook, but the stability issue just can't be ignored. I've sent crash reports and have traded emails with support several times and I know they're trying hard. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they'll eventually get the large issue fixed because Path Finder would be dream come true. As it is, I find it unusable :(
It is truly unfortunate but good to know folks are using it with success. For the usefulness that Path Finder would bring, I'd gladly pay twice the price.
I do want to add that my experiences are based on the 5.2.2 version for Leopard, not 5.5.6 as noted by Macupdate under my comment.
Zevrix Solutions has created a great app here that fills a missing gap in InDesign. I was seeking a tool that would help me in a very specific situation when I found Batch Output. It saved me enough time the first use to justify the cost. I've since found this versatile and powerful for many situations. Also, I sent a feature request to the dev and got a personal reply within about a day offering what I took as a genuine "thank you". That's a first for me. If you're looking for a solid app that offers total control of your InDesign output, I'm betting this will work for you.
Holy crap! When I installed DockDoctor, the application replaced an app that was already installed on my system called MP3 Trimmer. This is the strangest thing I've seen... MP3 Trimmer.app is still listed in my Applications folder but the icon on the app is DockDoctor and when launched, it's the DockDoctor app. I'm blown away. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Please help.
