The world's greatest program, with the world's greatest operational glitches.

I have great hopes for some promising future in this app, though, since there's some fresh activity in the project's github repository.

Anyone feeling emotional about this app's history, torpid development, contrasted by its great potentials and the fact that it's now moving forward again, should get involved by helping the developer reporting bugs and whatnot on github, really.

I'm holding my review until it's out of beta or stable enough to use prime time.

Little Snapper plays an essential role in my workflow. The greatest feat is the way it handles simple libraries of inspiration, reference, moodboards or whatever material you need to store someplace.

It has all the standard mechanisms for tagging and smart listing stuff, so you can be very flexible about how to organize the images. Either just drop them in a folder, or if you're the tagging kind, don't place it anywhere but instead tag it with useful meaning.

The notes field for every image helps me keep track of their source and also write annotations as needed.

The rating system is very useful for narrowing down on candidate options.

A great thing is that all the images you gather won't clutter your filesystem, but instead stays nicely tucked away inside a monolith .lslibrary file.

The only complaints I have are twofold:

1) I want to be able to drag an image from my browser and have it directly placed in the current folder I'm looking at.

2) I want to be able to draw freehand strokes in the annotations department.

Fresh is great. Really.

Some improvements that I find crucial:

1. Wildcard filtering of files. Right now, I have these pesky, dated, extension-less "Interim-Note Changes YYMMDD" files (generated by nvALT) showing up, and there's nothing I can do about them but exclude their whole enclosed folder, or manually filtering each one of them (until next time a new such file is spawned).

Some improvements that I desire, but can handle, sort of:

1. Make Drop Zone optional (I'm not alone wishing for this).

2. Make Spotlight search optional too (again, not alone)

3. Being able to press to dispose Fresh's window, not just via assigned shortcut.

Other than those remarks, this is one hell of a productivity booster.

This entry (v2.0.1) needs to be updated to the current version (right now that's v2.1 released March 1, 2011).

I have two questions which I couldn't find answers to in the product description:

1. What rendering engine is this? Webkit?

2. If Webkit, does it provide Web Inspector (which I think is more complete than Firebug Lite).

I'm still experiencing the same problem as @MRK below. New log messages don't appear on a new line, but instead get added on the same line after previous message (if there's space).

While running main app, it's all worky, but when quitting it and running the 'daemon' app, the problem appears. I'm using NerdTool 0.6 on a MacBook Pro mid 2009 OSX 10.5.7 and the log file I'm referring to (haven't tried anyone else) is the /var/log/system.log file, setup to be viewed in full screen (i.e. all the way until it hits the exposé borders on all sides).

Is the developer out of business? Their website seems to be gone.

The scheduled updates doesn't work for me. When I view the update logfile, the dates are out of order, displaying such dates as 2007.25.25 (in YYYY.MM.DD format, that is). Hence, it never updates on regular basis and I'm currently having to manually update each day.

Would be awesome if this could be addresses. As well as having the daemon update once after each computer restarts (that is, if it doesn't already do that).

Otherwise, No-Ip is a winner! I love everything else about it. Thanks.

Note: I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.10 on a dual G5 2.5 PPC with 1.5 GB RAM.
