Why do programmers think these days that they are alone on this planet.
THERE IS LIMITED SPACE in the menu bar and there is no reason for an app like this to use up that valuable space at such a dominant place that does not need permanent user interaction at all.
Just forget the APP Store and it's limitations for pref panes: I would be willing to pay for Growl the regular way (even five times the amount from the app store=) but NOT for an app that eats up menu space for nothing.
For me it does not play well with Lion. Maybe it cannot see and resolve conflicts correctly any more with the new MacOS.
1. Safari shows AAAA (generic "last resort" replacement font). A well known problem that FAP still cannot handle for me. Support blames Apple, which I find not helpful and an indirect hint that they know of this problem and have no solution to this incompatibility. Maybe FAP cannot see and consider the fonts in Lion's system library?
2. I have problems trying to convince Pages to show freshly activated fonts by FAP.
3. It seems not to play well with certain software upgrades behavior. Example: On every Adobe CS upgrade, Adobe throws all fonts into the system folder. Even if those same fonts already exist from a previous CS install and are managed by FAP.
I would FAP expect to be able to clean up that mess for me and show me the duplicates and offers me to also mange those fonts which were added to the system folder. FAP even let me activate those duplicates (yes both duplicates at the same time) without any warning. Support offered no help (they simply chose not to reply on my various reports) and left me alone with this situation.
This is a great validator. It uses the service from http://validator.w3.org, but is is not a simple wrapper, it is a local version. So it can test also local files (which the online checker does not allow) and is so much faster than the web validator which sometimes is very un-responsive and slow.
The best thing: It can scan complete local side with a bunch of files as batch processing in no time and we use it as quality check before we go online with something. That is very time-saving and less easy to overlook something.
It has it's limits, though: It does not test CSS. And i guess the engine does not understand HTML5 code at all.
The software is outdated in a way.
And the developer does not seem to be active on this project. No update in a long time and the developer does NOT respond to emails at all; I tried twice.
Very sad. I hope this software will be further maintained, I have not found other software yet that came any close to this set of time-saving features and I would love to keep this in my set of testing tools as long as possible.
