Although I like and bought this plug-in, it lacks some basic feature, the most important being to bypass SneakPeek Photo when we just want to have a slideshow without all informations provided by SPP. Moreover, I never got an answer to my mail asking for this feature. I see that they have released today an iPad/iPhone version which means that they've put their ressources on this more profitable channel rather than improving their products. It's almost a year that they haven't updated their product. Too bad.

Transmit 4 is (finally) here. Great app with all features missong from version 3. The update is worth the bucks.
And now, they'll be able to focus on Coda 2, yeah :-)
Suitcase Fusion is a good font manager, but it still is unstable. Over a few months of use, I had to completely rebuild my font database and sets twice. This can happen but it brings me to the real point: Poor quality of support. They do answer questions rapidly (more or less), but in both cases, they end up telling me to reinstall the application and rebuild de database. In one instance it was worse... they told me to reinstall the system! Which I didn't do and switched to FontExplorer. But when SF2 came out, by loyalty I upgraded although they took ages to bring us a major upgrade, with few enhancements and a much higher price.
Please note that I submitted a crash log which clearly indicated some errors wth SF2, but they would not give me a feddback on that matter, neither telling that they would consider and address this bug in a future release.
Regarding the auto-activation feature, it works well, except that it takes a very long time and does not always activate the proper font. A classic example is if you use Helvetica Neue LT std Bold in an Xpress doc, but also have Helvetica Neue in the database, it ends up by replacing the font with HelveticaNeue with the bold attribute, which is not good for sending the file to the printing bureau.
This preview of Things looks nice and works fine but lacks many features.
It is essential for a task manger GTD style to be able to grab things from different context (mails from Mail, URL from Safari, link files from Finder, etc.).
Some are on the feature list of Things, but what worry me is that it might take months to get them. There are too many developers who work alone or in very small teams. Once they have finished a product, they start with another and the first one don't evolve. For exemple XyleScope, from the same developer, is a great software but didn't evolve as promised, even in small details, as compare to other author who are very active.
As it's not possible to test the app, for the 99 penny I thought go ahead! So did I.
Unfortunately it's a joke! This app launch iCal prior to add the event. So what's the point? If iCal is launched, it's quicker and nicer to add the event directly in iCal.
When installing, I checked to add alias in the Dock. It defaulted my Dock so I had to look for my Dock preferences in my backup, replace them and restart Dock.
It's funny how developpers release their products without testing them thoroughly.
Very nice and usefull application, but NOT compatible with Snow leopard. The support don't give any date for an update. I think they should mention this on the product page or stop selling it until it is compatible with the current OS release.
Same problem here with Saft Leopard. I paid the update but it is unstable, make Safari hang and impossible to print. M. Hao Li do not answered my email.
Another annoying thing is that Saft has to be launched as an application to launch Safari. The problem is that if you open an URL from another application, it launch Safari without Saft.
Just ugraded through Paypal and cannot download the software. Getting "Account locked" message.
What I hate is that there is no email address, no support page, no way to contact the author. Very bad!
