What a nightmare to update! Took me a week! I hope you have a better time.

The whole reason I upgraded, was to to move my 200+ apps into new categories - but you can't! Probably ok if you don't have any serials to start with.

No wait - it's a bit of a pain then too. Try downloading MUP bundle serials (say 9 serials at a time). Now I have to select 9 times the category I want (instead of bulk select).

Ok I go through and do this - now the second bundle - I rename the category I want them in to appear first in the list. Nope still wants to put them in the other category! Ok I'll do it manually.

Now it won't import the serials form the second bundle (presumably because there are the same apps in there - though with different serials numbers). ??

This is a downgrade for me.
Another problem I noticed was with versions. I have say version 1.2 of Appx, then I pay for version 2. App Shelf makes a new version file - but it only shows in the list as version 1.2 A quick look and I can't see the correct version. To find if I have another version I have to click around & select other (hidden) versions.

Has great potential but it's like the app was released before it was ready / thought out properly.

I'm going back to version 1 - though am about to download licencekeeper & my apps to see if they work better.

I have used Aperture 2 for about a year and have liked it though with limitations.

Aperture 3 nearly threw me as it said the trial can not update your library. I got scared...

Anyway I tried it and although it did take a long time (even on my 8 core 3.2Ghz Mac Pro with 16 Gig Ram) there were no issues what so ever. I left it running over night (I think the library I updated was nearly 500Gig).

The new features are GREAT and run fine on my machine - though I agree the performance should be better for slower machines. Apple need to address this as photos get bigger & bigger.

I was optimistic about the FACES feature but I found it a huge let down. VERY slow, and freezes aperture for periods while it scans faces. You can't turn on faces for specific folders / projects so it is useless to me. It is not very clever & doesn't add anyone to the persons file - possible matches are WAY off. It would be as easy just to select the photos & add a tag.

One bug I have found is with the brushes - like dodge / burn. If you use a scroll mouse while brushing (finger held down on the left mouse button) this changes the size of the brush...BUT in Aperture 3 although the brush size changes the effect of the brush stays at the old size! Most annoying bug!

Over all I am very happy though surprised that a few bugs found their way through the Apple 'Net'.

Looks very promising but it is a windows app. Wouldn't work for me - and I can tell you that it won't work if you use Aperture for your images.

I use Aperture but do have a few files in iPhoto but Masaika couldn't find anything at all.


the dev is friendly & responsive but says it will be some time before it will work for Aperture IF he decides to add that 'feature'

As others have said the developer is very friendly & responsive (what else would you expect from an Aussie?!).

I haven't really used this to it's full potential but it is well worth the money and has many useful features.

The Clips part was the main draw card for me - and it does work very well. It has a few great features though really could use integration to the Right Click Menu and a popup clip'board'.

Autofiler is great, as is typer. Notes is amazingly powerful - I really should use it but I find I only really use todo's that sync with my iPhone.

This is among the best value software I have bought and I hope the few missing features are added to keep it at the top!

If you have moved from windows you will be disappointed with eBay software on Mac IMO.

I am quite a big eBay seller and used to use the Toaster Poster (FREE) on windows & have found Garagesale to be the best so far - but still lacks VERY basic functions.

I do use Garagesale but it is frustrating to me and limits my selling on eBay - and costs me time. Due to this extra time I list about 1/4 what I would with decent software.

Main gripes:
1) It doesn't support two or more sellers account properly. You will no doubt have different terms, shipping options, sales blurb etc for each account. Garagesale only has one main pref for everything so that has to be used for all unless you manually change it all

2) No template or copperplate tags...ie if you put {terms} then the Terms you have specified under the templates with appear when you list the advert. This means if your terms change then you change the terms ONCE and all your adverts are correct. With Garagesale you have to go & manually edit every advert - USELESS FOR HIGH VOLUME SELLERS!

3) There is no tables for items sold with amounts owing etc - again making the program unuseable for checking off payments. Same with addresses / items sold. Still have to do it live on eBays seller manager wasting more time.

4) Photos from the net can not be dragged & dropped into an advert. You have to save to disk & then add - wasting more time

5) Photos from one advert can not be dragged to another advert

6) If you use a black / dark background the cursor is invisible when typing meaning you don't know where the cursor is.

7) Bulk edit is missing some vital functions. ie if you want to list a batch of adverts on the AUS eBay site you have to edit each one manually.

8) Search function is better than it used to be, but when you find an item you still can't put it somewhere useful so you know where is is once you clear the search - making it useless.

9) Entering the postage prices for each item is too tedious - too many clicks.



It's the best I've tried on Mac - but worth about 1/4 the price for small sellers - almost useless for high volume sellers.
