I used to use MediaBoard One and needed to replace it. So now, I tried out several other apps and bought Lyn. I feel Lyn stands out from the others I tried, for the following reasons:

• Great developer. I've gotten help and resolution quickly and courteously.

• Lyn is very fast.

• It does not require its own database. This means you don't have to import the images nor link to them, or spend time indexing anything.

As I mentioned, I used to use MediaBoard One (apparently abandoned). My hard drive that contained my images crashed so now MediaBoard only shows the aliases of those linked images. It would have to be rebuilt using that exact structure / names, to be functional without having to reindex everything. Even as links, that app took a while to index. Lyn is always ready to go and when you make a quick structure change, add a folder or whatever, it is reflected in Lyn without fuss.

• Lyn utilizes the Finder and does so very well. Some other apps using the Finder can be a little dangerous where a person could inadvertently alter or delete an image or file structure without realizing it. There was one app that was so sensitive with mouse movement that merely clicking on a folder grabbed it and moved it somewhere before you could let go of it. I find Lyn to be very safe in that regard.

• Clean interface. It also allows you to change the background color so if you want to make a PDF or image of those image thumbnails, you can do so with a background of your choice.
It also has a button to email a selected image or images —handy for client proofing, for example.

• Tagging.

• Is efficient and includes PPC. Nice that he makes the effort to support a total Mac user base.

I hope this helps anyone comparing apps.

I bought WebDesign initially on a daily deal, intending it to be an HTML editor rather than to build a website.. I found it's much, much more than that because not only can you do both, but do it very intuitively. The interface, wizard availability, and "help" it gives you (if needed) equal a terrific package. It's great for modifying an existing website, and will easily work with templates.

I've kept my versions updated, and the company has been great whenever needed. I've also bought a couple of their other apps.

The new version I just saw today adds something I wanted where it locates the code for your selected element. Very nice.

When bringing up this page to download the update, I noticed the sporadic reviews and felt compelled to add mine. It seems to me that WebDesign is just a hidden gem that perhaps has gotten overlooked when searching for a web software.

This is a great app. I have a current model Olympus voice recorder (Olympus finally is making all their recorders Mac-mountable), but it saves the recordings as WMA.

EasyWMA makes it so simple to convert them-in Preferences, you choose what folder you want them to be saved to, set it and forget it. From then on, every time you plug in the Olympus recorder, EasyWMA immediately converts the files directly to the folder you specified without you having to intervene. It is truly a 1-step process. Can't get easier than that.

This app has a huge potential with very responsive developers. They not only actively listen to their users but have been implementing ideas on a frequent basis for these early releases.

Flux can open a site for editing—any site, not only ones created by Flux, which is a great plus. For those who love Coda / CSS Edit, this is worth looking into, because it gives you a nice interface with your settings laid out. And of course sites can be created from scratch. Highly recommended as it not only is on the right track, IMO, but with the ambition behind it, will get even better and better.
