I started using this app a while back as a sort of version control. ForeverSave 1 worked quite well for doing this...

Since v2 came out I have not been able to use the app in the same way. I've emailed them a few times and they seem to keep indicating it should be possible to use it the same way, but ironically enough I can't seem to find ANY way to get ForeverSave 2 to backup my files at all without auto-save enabled... Though they tell me it should work, if I open a file and make multiple modifications and multiple manual saves over a ten minute period, ForeverSave 2 simply will NOT do anything (the last email I sent them on this garnered no response, as of a couple months ago)...

With the autosave feature in lion now upon us the days of ForeverSave are numbered. ForeverSave would continue to work for me in the way that I use it, but unfortunately v2 simply does not work in that way anymore...

I'm going to rate the app a bit higher now than my previous post, as my primary problem appears to be fixed.

While I do still find some stability issues there have been enough releases recently that I do get the feeling they are making a genuine effort to correct issues.

I've not been able to reproduce my issue of icons vanishing which was the most serious issue in my opinion. I'm now a bit more optimistic that the app will become a reliable choice for icon collecting...

App works well and is fully seamless. Yes there are other methods to accomplish the same thing this app does. It's not about being the only choice, its about doing so seamlessly, which this app does.

I'm able to encrypt applications and never think twice about it. If I need to run an app I'm instantly prompted with a password prompt. If I cancel the prompt, the app stops loading. If I enter my password, the app's data is unlocked and the app completes loading. When I quit the app, the apps data is instantly locked...

Using disk images I would need to worry about manually mounting the disk BEFORE I try to run the app. In some cases forgetting to do this might break the app's connection to the data (causing a need to modify the apps preferences to restore the connection to the data). Once I quit the app I would need to manually unmount the image to ensure the data was encrypted.

Espionage handles all this without even thinking about it...

I found some problems leading me to believe this app has some issues and isn't ready for prime time.

I have managed to create a circumstance where icons no longer show in the main box but show in collections (I have several icons that now do this).

If I happen to try to remove these icons from the collection box they vanish from the program all together (since they do NOT come up in the main collection any more)... They don't even appear in the trash since I didn't delete them from the main box...

I've emailed for support but creating a circumstance where icons can vanish completely from the program without having to actually delete them leaves me feeling I can't trust the program I just bought...

This is normally a great app but for the past week (at least) it seems to have stopped working.

When I run it, it scans my apps, indicates I have 165 total installed, but only version matches 5 of them (all the rest show a dash in the version column).

I tried deleting all my preference files but to no avail... I first assumed MacUpdate may have been down temporarily but it's been a little to long for that to likely be the cause...

I see the listing for:

Added preference for Snow Leopard to let QuickLook inspect folders by showing them with transparent covers.

However, when I check this off & use QuickLook on a folder, nothing looks different. Either I'm not understanding what this is describing or its seemingly not working on my system...
