Looking forward to version 6.

One feature that is painfully missing for me is to be able to set a list of preferred search locations, without scouting through the Finder each time.

I hope this will not be another app sold exclusively via Apple

According to the licence:

"By installing the Software, you agree to automatically request and receive Updates."

Why exactly is this clause necessary?

I used to use DF in OS8, and a couple of years ago I re-bought it via a MU bundle. But I have not installed it on my machine for 2 reasons:

1. Contrary to opinions here, the MacOS X Save Dialogue has similar features. It has your favourite folder list to the left, where you can drag folders and store them as favourites while in save mode, just like in DF. It has your Recent Places to the end of the menu (when menu is collapsed) just like DF. You can browse in 3 different type of views using command-1, 2 or 3. You can navigate using the command+arrow keys. You can get to the desktop using shift-command-D, to Applications using shift-command-A, to Home using shift-command-H, and geeks can go to any folder using shift-command-G . You can search for a specific places, locally or globally, through the search field just as in DF. You can also save that search without having to close the dialogue. You can copy the title of a shown file just by clicking on it, as in DF. You can create a new folder while in save mode by using command-N and entering a name (I believe just like DF). If you want to navigate to an already open folder in the Finder, go to the Finder and drag its folder icon (in its window) to the open Save dialogue box. Admittedly, DF does all this more elegantly, but it's not like they can't be done at all through the OS.

2. My second and most important reason my DF copy is still on the shelf is that it adds to a list of utilities that demand system memory. When I upgrade my station (and memory) I plan to happily install DF. Until then the Finder is sufficient in taking care of navigating for me.

I tried to update the original v4 DW disk, but it is ejected, and the process fails without further explanation.

On this last version, switching the editor (visual, source, both) consistently crashes CSSEdit, except when nothing is open.

There are some problems with Notes:

- When Notes are dragged into Folders, the original note remains where it was, creating thus duplicates.
- Editing both Notes and Folders is neither easy or obvious

Having said this, I am very happy with the direction and progress of MacSword. I am spending less time with OnlineBible and more with MS. Great work!

There are some serious issues with this version. All files were lost. I was able to recover part of my work by using TimeMachine but it seems the more recent work is gone.

It does not seem to work on 10.4 any more.
