The 1.x versions forced you to choose EITHER Read It Later OR Instapaper accounts logged in. You couldn't have both active. So, for me it was a near miss, and I didn't use it.
This 2.x update allows you to have BOTH accounts active. It's now permanently in my dock.
What a great app: clear, simple, capable, useful,...exactly what I wanted. I love it!
From looking at the stale blog entries, and given that the app I downloaded from their website is already expired, I assume they are no longer in operation.
Too bad; a graphing app like this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.
I've loved and depended on this app for a couple of years now; it's an essential part of my network's wellbeing. It's simple, streamlined, and accomplishes a much-needed function. And the file transfer sound effects are great!
HOWEVER, new releases of DropCopy too often have the frustrating trait of being inaccessible via dock, menu bar or any other means. Yes, I can click-and-drag the icon around the desktop, but there's no way to access DropCopy's preferences. It is within its preferences that the checkbox exists to Hide Dock Icon.
Apparently, v1.5.8 is preselected with Dock icon hidden, so there's no way to get to its preferences to choose otherwise. I've had to revert to an archived copy of v1.5.7, because v1.5.8 is literally unusable. (I've had to skip several release versions in the last year because of this issue.)
Another irritation (though not a deal-killer like the one above) is that the download destination preference seems to frequently get "borrowed" from this setting on the other network machine, and thus if I don't catch it and reset it, the transfer says it was delivered, but in fact never arrives. But I've learned to check this setting first if files don't show up where they're supposed to.
Having said that, I still consider DropCopy crucial to management of the Macs on my network. I just wish I could give it five stars,...
Yes, this is a very good widget and all, but really, we (the users) need to be able to add and subtract radio stations and locations ourselves.
It's not appealing to have to send the dev. a request every time I find a station I like, so he can recode it and redistribute it, -- way too cumbersome. And I'm not about to dinker with the HTML source code myself.
Other radio widgets allow user customizability, please consider adding this feature, Mr. Lawton,...

Anyone know how to get Faviconic's functionality in an Intel app?
