GroupCal 3.94 Type: Comments Date: 6 Feb 2008 13:06

Indeed, I must agree that I am very disappointed that GroupCal has not yet been made Leopard-compatible. Having paid for the software, I expect much better support than this.

Viou 2.8b Type: Comments Date: 4 Feb 2008 13:52

Sure hope it will be universal binary - I'm still on a PPC...

iPhotoWebShare 1.4 Type: Comments Date: 29 Jan 2008 20:10

Will this be updated to work with iPhoto 7? I really miss this application...

phpMyAdmin 2.11.2.2 Type: Review Date: 21 Nov 2007 16:10 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This is back to being my favourite application. I find it indispensible for MySQL administration. The past few versions have been rock-solid. Setup is still a little tricky, but has been improved considerably with the setup scripts.

Viou 2.5 Type: Comments Date: 31 Oct 2007 13:53

I really look forward to the new Leopard version. Now that Apple has changed their icons, Viou is needed more than ever! :)

Mail.appetizer 1.2b4 Type: Comments Date: 30 Oct 2007 08:45

I do hope it is re-tooled for Leopard. I don't know what I'd do without it!

SmartCVS 6.0.2 Type: Comments Date: 7 Jun 2007 11:23

I don't find it cumbersome. It would be good if you could outline why you find it unintuitive, or point to better products as examples.

MAMP 1.5b1 Type: Review Date: 6 Mar 2007 16:09 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I had hoped for an easy solution to get Apache 2/PHP 5/MySQL 5...but I couldn't believe it was this easy. After I downloaded it and started it up, I almost laughed out loud - I thought it was too good to be true. I had imagined I would be spending an afternoon messing with my system, but it was up and running in about 30 seconds. Thanks for this. Awesome.

Free Ruler 1.7b5 Type: Review Date: 13 Feb 2007 08:35 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I don't know what I'd do without this app. As a web designer, it's invaluable for determining available screen real estate. Thanks so much for this - I've been using it since the first version.

GroupCal 3.78 Type: Review Date: 17 Jan 2007 19:30 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

This has indeed become much more stable in the past few releases, and the developers are very helpful. My only complaint is how slow it seems to be. I have a dual 2.5GHz G5 PowerMac with 2GB RAM on a fast LAN, and I can really feel it when it begins to sync. Things slow considerably, and it takes a long time (I believe I have it configured properly - including no longer syncing items older than 2 weeks, and tasks past 5 days). Invitations to calendar requests take a very long time, as well (a couple of minutes. Is this normal?).

GroupCal 3.78 Type: Hint/Tip Date: 17 Jan 2007 19:24

Of course - sorry, that was dumb. Indeed, I have now set this appropriately.

GroupCal 3.75 Type: Troubleshooting Date: 8 Jan 2007 15:28

How does one prevent the synchronization of years of events? I would like them saved (ie. appear in both calendars) - but they certainly don't need to be updated every 15 minutes. Is GroupCal smart enough to only sync changes? Or does it do everything, every time?

GroupCal 3.7 Type: Review Date: 23 Nov 2006 14:06 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Hmmm...not as happy with this version. Since I updated, all of my calendars in iCal were duplicated, and the "sync" has been going now for more than 4 hours - and I doubt it will end successfully at this point.

GroupCal 3.62 Type: Review Date: 3 Oct 2006 09:49 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I'm happy to report that GroupCal seems to have worked out the serious bugs, and I've purchased it. It's working smoothly, with a couple of minor bumps: it's quite slow - particularly with Tasks; it took several hours to email a meeting change to a colleague. These aren't deal-breakers to me...just annoyances. Each release gets more solid, however.

Jedi Knight II 1.03c Type: Comments Date: 29 Aug 2006 12:23

128 MB RAM?!? That's barely enough for the System alone...

PHP iCalendar 2.22 Type: Comments Date: 7 Jul 2006 08:18

Have you tried icalshare? (http://www.icalshare.com/)

Application Enhancer 2.0 Type: Review Date: 31 May 2006 16:30 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

I love it, too. It has not caused me any pain, nor has it slowed me down perceptively. If you don't have a lot of RAM, maybe it would - but that's the same for any app. I can't work without Windowshade.

GroupCal 3.30 Type: Review Date: 29 May 2006 13:10 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

GroupCal has now completely trashed my calendars in iCal twice. After the first time, I suspected a conflict with iSync/.Mac, but I have since turned off .Mac (I was trying it out). The second time, I believe I opened iCal during a sync. I could initially see my schedules, but they suddenly all vanished, leaving no calendars listed. I closed iCal, waited for a bit (to make sure GroupCal was finished) and then opened iCal. Nothing but the default Work and Home calendars, both blank. When I checked the size of the iCal database, it confirmed my fears. Everything was gone. I'm relieved to see it didn't trash my Exchange calendars, but this is simply not usable. I had high hopes for this as a solution for all of our Mac users on the Exchange system at our university, but I cannot recommend it to anyone.

GroupCal 3.30 Type: Review Date: 12 May 2006 09:26 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Seems to work, though the GroupCal app won't open for me anymore (quits immediately on open). I suspect it started quitting after I turned on the menu item, but I can't turn it off now (because the setting is in the app). It's working anyway, but requires a lot of RAM and I can periodically hear my hard drive become very active. I'd like this to be a little more solid for the money, and that's why I'm still using it in demo. I can't recommend it yet to all of the Mac users in our Faculty, but it's getting closer.

phpMyAdmin 2.8.0.2 Type: Comments Date: 29 Mar 2006 21:05

Now that I've got it working (had to turn session_autostart off, but that wasn't obvious), I am horrified by the appearance. Why are the font sizes so damn big now? The left frame even has a horizontal scroll bar now, because the content doesn't fit. Is anyone else having this problem?

phpMyAdmin 2.8b1 Type: Comments Date: 7 Feb 2006 09:53

Wow - up until this version (2.8) everything was great. I cannot for the life of me get this version to work, despite following the instructions to the letter. I get errors such as "A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time", even when I try using the setup script. I love this app. I hope this is a bug that will be fixed soon, or that it is something that can be solved by better documentation. For right now, I can't use it.

OpenQVis 1.0 RC1 Type: Comments Date: 10 Dec 2005 00:10

This simply does not work for me. I am on a PowerMac Quad G5, running 10.4.3. I installed everything I was supposed to, and attempting to launch the program does nothing.
