Tables

Runty commented on 24 Mar 2012

I get a bug in 1.5.8, in the latest lion.
It happens frequently -- suddenly the content will no longer scroll when I try to scroll. The row numbers and the scrollbar update properly, but the content itself is frozen in place, although I can still edit it.

So sad that this is PPC-only. Please make it work on intel.

Scroll Reverser

Runty reviewed on 29 Oct 2011

Thanks for this little utility! For some reason I prefer horizontal natural scrolling but vertical reverse scrolling, which is actually more 'natural' when scrolling down. This app allows me to do this.

Gesturing 'upwards' to scroll down is anatomically awkward, especially if reading a long article!

oops, i intended to give a full five stars.

Cuppa

Runty reviewed on 20 Mar 2011

Great app! I used to use KTeatime in linux, and Cuppa is the only app that does the same thing on the mac!

The best app for quick countdowns! (you can define your own presets too!)

DEVONthink Personal

Runty reviewed on 19 Mar 2011

I bought this, and I'm disappointed. From the glowing reviews I've seen everywhere, I expected devonthink's tagging system to be polished, but right now it feels slapped-on and half-baked.

If tagging is important to you, you should look at Eaglefiler or Together.

The developer also has a history of bad UI design, which is most probably related to the terrible way that the user must interface with the tagging system.

Please, devontechnologies, get a UI advisor! Just because you are good at programming doesn't mean you are also good at interface design.

That said, its search feature is the most advanced and powerful among its competitors. If searching is more important to you than tagging, devonthink is the product.

DEVONthink Personal

Runty commented on 17 Mar 2011

It's very good, but UGH! Why does it save my data in ~/Library/Application Support?? How annoying!

I want to be able to choose where to save my data. Or, at least, it should save its data in the Documents folder. I only ever do selective backups, and its terribly annoying to have to hunt all over the filesystem for important files to backup. Imagine if all apps did that!

For now, I moved the Devonthink folder to Documents and I use a symbolic link in Application Support.

EagleFiler

Runty commented on 15 Mar 2011

It's simply too bad that Eaglefiler has a rather rigid interface layout. The file list is always above the viewing pane. You have no choice in the matter. It makes the vertical space rather cramped. Most of the other personal informations managers got this right, though.

In eaglefiler, if you have a lot of items in a folder, you can adjust things so that you can see more of those items, OR you can adjust it so that you can see more of what you are editing/viewing, BUT NOT BOTH. arggggh! I hope this changes soon.

This is mitigated only by

... this is mitigated only by using eaglefiler on a large monitor, which I don't have since I only have a 13inch macbook.

That's great news, thanks. Also, it would be nice if the entire Quick View window were easily navigable with the keyboard. Specifically I think it would be an improvement if I could just do a quick Ctrl+Tab to start entering tags for the text I just wrote, instead of having to reach for the mouse and click on the metadata tab.

Anyway, I'm taking the trouble to say all of this because I do like Eaglefiler.

oops, I meant Quick Entry, not quick view.

Things

Runty reviewed on 01 Mar 2011

It's a pretty good app, but..

Try to create a scheduled task. The options are a nightmare of ambiguity.

"Ends after X times"
"Ends on date:..."
So what? What does it mean if it "ends"??

"Each copy has a due date." (implication??)
"It is created X days before due" (meaning? and so what??)

It would be better if the options stated exactly what would happen. E.g.:

"Remove after X days"
"Mark as overdue after X days"
etc
