CHRIS WALKEN  For a simple app, it sure is taking a long time to get the website/syncing capability released. I haven't tried the developer versions. It's a nice app though for someone who doesn't need the complexity of OmniFocus for example.

Leap
Apr 28 2008

CHRIS WALKEN  I like the app although I'm not sure how often I'll need it. It's definitely easier to browse files.

One complaint - you can't edit spotlight comments from within Leap (other than applying tags). There is a description window instead which is not visible in other apps. I assume there must be a technical reason for this, it's certainly not ideal.

CHRIS WALKEN  I agree OmniOutliner could use a major update, but I've tried many other outliners and I still come back to OO

CHRIS WALKEN  Is this app feature-complete or is there a new version anywhere on the horizon?

OmniWeb
Apr 10 2008

CHRIS WALKEN  I usually try the final releases to see if they ever become stable enough because I really do like the browser otherwise. Freeze, force quit, see ya next time.

I guess other people have success with it, but other browsers hardly ever give me any trouble while OmniWeb always does. And I'm on a brand new MacBook too.

M-RICK  for me very stable, nothing to compare with previoous versions, almost never crashes, even really really less than Safari, and it never freezes too.

This 5.7 has been really improved in speed and stability.

CHRIS WALKEN  I'm not that familiar with its competitors - I wasn't impressed with URL Manager Pro on first glance. This app is pretty sweet though. I was using delicious, but I don't need to share bookmarks, so hopefully this will be a replacement. Importantly, you could always export back to delicious in case the developer abandons the app (which is perhaps why I'm a bit hesitant to fork over $25, you never know)

There are ways it could be improved - tag cloud or something similar to browse tags, and ability to edit multiple entries are at the top of my list. But some nicely executed features are the search filters, hot key for easy entry, and smart folders.

CHRIS WALKEN  Looks like a nice app, but supposedly it doesn't work well with Pathfinder. Hopefully there will be a solution, and maybe Leopard will make some changes in how metadata is used.

CHRIS WALKEN  I'd be interested to see a tutorial or explanation of how to use it for books, articles, etc. Anything like that anywhere? The last time I looked, there was little documentation. I see there's a book/manual now for sale.

CHRIS WALKEN  It shows your applications folder the same way as in the Finder, it will show your apps and folders that contain apps.

And what data are you talking about? I have Little Snitch and I haven't seen any data collection.

CHRIS WALKEN  Remember we thought there'd be all kinds of cool innovations in 10.4 for the Finder. Maybe we'll get a few of these features, but there's no way 10.5 will catch up to Path Finder.

OmniWeb

CHRIS WALKEN  If they ever update it, it could be a very good browser. The current version is buggy, I'm force-quitting probably 1-2 times a day on average.

OmniWeb
Sep 7 2006

CHRIS WALKEN  I'm almost convinced that OmniWeb is worth the dough. There is actually a place in the Mac browser market as Safari and Firefox are both disappointing. Being on a 12" screen means the tab drawer takes up a bit too much space, but I might be able to live with that. The per-site preferences are pretty sweet. Other little things are well-designed.

On the downside, for a paid browser the missing features become glaring deficiencies. I'm used to having find-as-you-type on Camino, it's still not in OW (it works only for links). That might be a deal-breaker for me at this point. Ad-blocking could be more user-friendly. They got rid of searching history for content. I suspect that OW 6.0 could be a really good release whenever that happens, especially with Camino development as slow as it is.

CHRIS WALKEN  My preferred way to post links to del.icio.us. Better than using the del.icio.us bookmarklet that sends you to their web site. I'm sure there's a way to hack this, but it would be cool if it would let you hide the dock icon, since you probably never need it.

TAO
Jul 8 2006

CHRIS WALKEN  I don't really care if the thing is in beta or not, although I agree it does seem silly to send users to version 1.0 as the last stable release.

The developer really needs to spend time on improving the interface, it's a mess of features, many of which I'm sure are great. I'd also be a little concerned about future plans to make a Windows version, that makes me wonder if a significantly improved interface is ever on the horizon. Too bad some of the other outliners don't take a lesson from some of TAO's power features.
