Looks great, but only a week or so after the release of 1.0.1 -- and with no warning -- the developer increased the price to $99 (still says $79.99 here).

Dear developer: I understand it's your prerogative to increase your price whenever you choose. HOWEVER, don't go sending out press releases and get a bunch of coverage at the $79.99 price point, then WITHOUT AN "INTRODUCTORY PRICE" DISCLAIMER jack the price less than a week later.

I'm definitely interested in the app, and I was grudgingly ready to pony up the $80, but after this little stunt, I'm SERIOUSLY second-guessing it.

Neutral review until the developer responds.

Stock Keeper

@Tryme: I didn't have a problem with the version I downloaded today.

I think Stock Keeper is a great app for finding FPOs and managing hi-res libraries. Tried demos of Media Pro and Portfolio along with this. Stock Keeper fits my workflow way better. The built-in browser is slick.

I'd like to see some workgroup collaboration stuff or client-server version, as well as better integration into Creative Suite, but it's a great start, and at $20 is way cheaper than Portfolio.

1Password

Not sure about the future of 1Password. It seems like as we go forward, they're removing functionality rather than add it (plugin support for OmniWeb, Fluid apps, etc) and sounds like they're going to make things like Dropbox more complicated. Admittedly, some of the changes are because of Apple with stuff like Sandboxing, but c'mon... as long as Lion was available in advance for developers they had plenty of warning that things were going to break, and thus plenty of time to figure out how to write plugins for the other browsers, especially since most all of them have SDKs available specifically for developers to write plugins.

Compartments

PROS: Pretty UI. Attractive price.

CONS: Missing lots of drag-and-drop. Some features feel like afterthoughts and not well-planned. Not Mac-like. You're getting what you pay for.
