Glad this app is beta because this app still needs some work.
It looks great at first glance but that’s about it for me so far.
I have yet to successfully import a GPX or KML file. It keeps telling me that every single file is corrupt, which can’t be entirely true because those files open up in the TrailRunner app recommended above.
On top of that, every time I click one of the buttons along the top menu of the main screen, it opens a new window for that feature (it may not do it for all of them but I stopped after four).
In ten minutes of testing it was impossible to import a file and maintain a clutter-free screen.
It might be a great app but it feels like it’s working against me.
***NOTE: I am not using any of the recommended devices/apps listed by the developer to generate any of my routes. I am trying to import GPX files generated by a variety of other iPhone running apps. Could be the reason why nothing’s working. And why it’s not fair for me to actually rate it if not following dev’s instructions. Still, if I have the “Import File” option, it should work regardless.***
This little wonder does exactly what it says and does it well. And for that it gets a well deserved 5-star rating.
Now here goes a little wishful thinking on my part… any though given to allowing the user to specify how many windows they want open? I use a larger monitor at work and it would be ideal (for me) if 2finder worked for three Finder windows.
Overall, thanks for a great little application. :^)
This is great little application and a HUGE thank you for making it free.
I really want to give it five stars but - and this has happened to me every time - whenever I try to copy the folders from my iPod Touch to my Macbook (running 10.6.1), it will copy the folder I'm dragging and the top-level files in it, but none of its subfolders. The same happens every time I copied over a subfolder… it takes that folder and its top-level files and again, ignores its subfolders.
Copying *to* my iPod was seamless. Dropping the main folder into iPhone Explorer brought 100% of the contents with it.
Now, I *did* manage get it to work finally by holding COMMAND as I dragged the folders from the application window to my desktop.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm running 10.6 but this seems kind of frustrating set up the default.
Overall, I love this application... I'm still relatively new to it so I'm sure I'm not using it to it's full potential. Still, I can't believe how many more little tasks I've been able to keep on top of since using this gem.
My only frustration with the application lies with the context folders and sub-folders. There should be an option to create folders that won't generate their own @Calendar. Similar to Calendar Groups in iCal, where you cannot add tasks or events to the Group as they are merely for organization of information.
I'm not a programer so, I'm not sure how easy any of this would be to implement. However, in my humble opinion, the “contextless” folders should carry over as Calendar Groups in iCal, bringing all individual contexts along them.
Creating a folder in iGTD that will not act like a folder in iCal is frustrating.
Is it possible to arrange three finder windows? Two used to be perfect for my Macbook but just bought a new iMac and a three-landscape arrangement would be ideal.
Thanks.

Anyone else? Or is my problem just an anomaly.
