HSOFT  Thanks for your comment. iPhoto sometimes produce invalid XML in its album data. I try to work around these invalid XMLs as I see them, but I can't work-around a file I haven't seen yet.

Can you please contact support@hardcoded.net so we can fix this?

This definitively all we know from other OS.

Welcome to Windows, its stormy there, who dreams of Windows become nice running on a Mac.

It was a try, but now I took the decision to close my window (it becomes winter time ;-)), going straight back to use just OS X.

VideoDrive
May 22 2008

DRAW  >To avoid loss of productivity time keep Aroona Software's upgrade philosophy in mind before you try to upgrade to 1.5.10.

"VideoDrive will expire when upgrading to version 1.5.10 from earlier versions. Users will have to re-apply for a registration key. Please email us your current registration key with your paypal email address and we will send you a new registration key free of charge.

When starting version 1.5.10 for the first time, VideoDrive will propose to create a mail message for you. Once you receive your new registration code, you can enter it in the VideoDrive Preferences, together with your Paypal email address.

We are forced to make these changes to accomodate to the growing user base of VideoDrive and to guarantee the integrity of current and future personal licenses. For security reasons, we have to send out the new registration codes on a per-request basis. We apologize for this inconvenience. "

>I wrote them that I dislike such uncomfortable updating procedure to get their next beta version 1.5.10 (decrementing amount of bugs but still no major improvements in workflow).

Please judge their Email answer for yourself (read their last threaten sentence!):

"Your request for a new key has been received and will be handled as soon as

possible. Due to possible integrity violations, this process can take up to

12 hours.

We understand this process does not offer the most optimal customer

experience. However, we are forced to take these actions as the result of

users who use illegal methods to obtain user licenses, compromising the

integrity of the personal license system.

We like to remind you that you are not forced to upgrade to this new version

and that your current installation continues to work. Aroona Software is

committed to enhancing VideoDrive continuously and free of charge for

current customers. We believe this offers a better customer experience

rather than keeping all updates for a paying 2.0 release. If we receive more

complaints about our update path, we will definitely consider revising our

policy."

> Trying to continue with 1.5.9 shows the message: "Trial version expired".

One last sentence to the guys at Aroona:

Please handle your customers/beta testers with more respect and politeness! Mac users don't support M$-like behaviour.

HAGAR06  What the hell is your problem??? They send you a FREE code for their new version. FREE! Besides, it is clear that they do this for a reason, and if they find that people have hacked their systems, all the beter they are fixing it sooner than later. And if it requires getting a new key, so be it.

You don't mention how nice or rude your mail was, so I find this a very polite and professional answer.

Keep up the good work! Loving this tool, and hope it gets better by the day!

AROONA SOFTWARE  As stated on the MacUpdate page and our own website, the new version of VideoDrive does indeed requires a new key, which will be provided for free to existing customers. This uncomfortable upgrade path has been taken with good reason. The decision was not taken light-hearted and causes a lot of overhead on our part. Still, we are committed to provide all existing customers with a new key as soon as possible. We advice to apply for the new key before installing the new version. As written before, if we do receive complaints about our upgrade system, we will definitely consider revising our upgrade policy if possible, and try to enhance it to make our customers happy.

Kind regards,

Aroona Software

There are no plans to release a multilingual version in the immediate version as we want to add more features first.

Apple iTunes
Sep 13 2006
*****

DRAW  Brilliant!

1. Similar to iPhoto you can now load different Libraries (press alt at startup). I used Libra before to do that, but it caused trouble if you didnīt act carefully.

2. I used CoverFlow, and my girl friend was seeking for a good implementation, now (well) done by apple.

3. CoverManagement goes with iPhoto experiences, i.e. works incredible fast

But:

Up to now, I wasnīt able to upload one single cover from ITM. Sad (and waiting), cause its the most brilliant idea...

I had no problem managing my high loaded old libraries. Apple rules :-)

The GUI is no fun at all and the applikation is sooo slow (compared with comparable softwares that are written by experts).

I hope, other developers will focus on the integration of the Color Control Point idea.
