Oh drat, just when it was looking good. Great tool when it works. Unfortunately, Weather Vane hangs the whole startup if it cannot connect to a server, and that is proving to be highly unreliable. So, again, goodbye Weather Vane.
Miracles...after a few months of being weatherless and checking back here on a whim and seeing Weather Vane still listed, I've tried it again and it's working! For now? Thank you.
Nice app. Thanks. Is it typical to end up with larger files? I unlocked and combined nine files that were each 1MB. The final size was 75MB, and even when I did a Reduce File Size it still came out to 44MB. I am guessing it may be due to the unlocked PDF being converted to images, rather than retaining the text of the originals, an unfortunate casualty of this convenience. :(
Thanks for the response. The file does have printing disallowed, as well as many of the other security options. Using the settings as you've outlined, after processing it says Method 1 failed and the pages are all blank. Brute force is the only way this one works.
I appreciate effort that goes into free tools, and I'd prefer to be positive. But Folx has become a nuisance. After a few weeks of trying to tweak it to behave the way I want it to, it's too aggravating, and incessantly disruptive. I want a download manager when I want one, and despite disabling the Firefox plugin and setting the preferences within Folx to basically stay dead, it is seemingly immortal. So, since I cannot tame it I regret it has to go. Sorry, an otherwise fine tool, but it is an uncontrollable, misbehaved pest currently. Other users seem to share that view, so Folx, please fix this issue! Off means off!
WV has pooched, again. Displaying "Fetching forecast" and "null,null", the same as last time the feed was disabled by a data provider. Deleting preferences had no effect, and issue exists on three different networks, so assuming it is not a localised issue.
Great app, thank you. Since the update, the dialog box now says 'move button' and 'leave button' instead of 'leave files' and 'move files' and a bunch of other code gibberish. Anyone else seeing that?
I've downgraded to 1.1.5, available from the developer's releases page. Works fine. Hope the issue will be addressed, but so far there hasn't even been any acknowledgment from the developer about the problem.
2.3.2 - hover details is not working, and clicking on a day's weather is not loading the Web page, as I believe it used to on versions prior to the change to The Weather Channel feed. Intel iMac, Snow Leopard.
[Version 2.3.2]
