Brian's last blog update is from a couple of months ago.

I emailed him because I can't even install it in Lion. The installer complains about permissions or something.
If I install it manually, will it work? Has anyone else done a Lion upgrade on top of their Snow Leopard with xGestures installed?
Out of all the File Path copying apps I tried, this was the only one that could create them in so many formats for both SMB and AFP shares, all well-formed.
You do have to know how to set it up so it will work in your environment. For the uninitiated it means knowing things like your server's name. Windows users dont tend to know this as they often use those retarded Drive Letter Mapping rather than the "My Network Favorites".
Disclosure- I bought it for work.
Does what it says, and could save you heaps of time.
The developer is friendly and responsive.
Only improvements could be improving the user interface used to create the Folder Structure. Could be simplified with drag-n-drop, more graphical kind of thing.
But as-is, quite good and recommended.
Has anyone else got this working on 10.6.5?
It is "On" in the Preference Pane, but it does not work.
No sign of it in any contextual menus.
The FP-Injector is running in my process list.
I tried this out yesterday and it still launches under OSX 10.6.4 on an i7. However it ran really slowly for some reason.
I tried disabling the Altivec usage, but that didn't seem to help.
I'm sorry to tell you I'm not completely satisfied with Blitz. I own it because I thought about buying Cunning Fox, but lucky I didn't because that's gone.
If you use this with Parallels, you'll be disappointed as it doesn't seem to give any extra CPU to it.
I've also had it crash on me- silently, the menu bar icon just disappears- while an app is focused and then you're *really* in trouble because everything hangs and becomes unresponsive. Even relaunching the app doesn't help. You have to logout and back in to get back to work.
I've lost condfidence in using this product until the next update ships.
The TED updater sees v2.0.2 and keeps downloading 1.4.8 repeatedly.
I see from the comments that this is not a free upgrade.
The user should be warned that it isn't free.
I just downloaded this from macupdate, and the version in the about box says v 1.0.0UB
There appears to be a bug; I can't change the "MyTint" color. Nothing happens when I click on it.
This doesn't appear to be working anymore after I updated the Music Server running iTunes to v10.
The Client can connect OK and shows me the Growl notification, but after that the client can't see the Music Library. It just says (null) (null).
Also, the Bug Report submission doesn't work, as it redirects to a site called 16bugs which the developer hasn't renewed.
I call Abandonware.
I get a crash when I go to Proxi Preferences.
I'm on OS X 10.6.3.
Watch out- it can take out the Finder if it is mucking around with launchctl and launchd at the time you force quit it.
Using this recently, I found a few things:
Firstly, it's really slow. Yes I am trying it out on an older mac, but it runs even more slowly than other applications.
Secondly, during the "Copying Art to iTunes" phase. I am getting a lot of errors that read:
Thirdly, it's kind of clunky. I mean, why do I want to build a list, then have to select all and tell it to copy into the song? Don't I just want to select the song/s and choose "FetchArt" from the scripts menu and have it find the album art and embed it into the song?
GimmeSomeTune works this way, but without all the errors.

Fetch Art for iTunes
Firstly, it's really slow. Yes I am trying it out on an older mac, but it runs even more slowly than other applications.
Secondly, during the "Copying Art to iTunes" phase. I am getting a lot of errors that read:
"Error reading file MacHD:Users:myusername:Library:Application Support:FetchArt:AlbumName.jpg.pict."
Thirdly, it's kind of clunky. I mean, why do I want to build a list, then have to select all and tell it to copy into the song? Don't I just want to select the song/s and choose "FetchArt" from the scripts menu and have it find the album art and embed it into the song?
