DIGITAL FURY  I have been an Elite + FIlmPack "customer" for several years now, but enough is enough with PACE. I own a significant amount of commercial expensive software packages, and none has saw the need to use this kind of tool; which amounts to consider all users thieves implicitly.

Just say no to software using things like the Interlok PACE rootkit and other such DRMs, this kind of crap.

As for DOP itself, it's not bad but not that good either considering the price and its downsides. Adobe Camera Raw as a RAW converter is very good, for those that are using Lightroom and/or PhotoShop, Noise Ninja for noise removal and PTLens for barrel distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting, and perspective correction are superior to DOP equivalent features.

All-in-all DOP main feature is perhaps its automation, but then again its automated results are sometimes very goofy (e.g. "over the top" saturation of colors), its user interface is clumsy and counterintuitive, the Mac port of the Windows version not following Apple's GUI guidelines, the software processing algorithms are themselves very slow - not to mention that the app itself is a RAM/CPU hog, and the number of supported lens per body is quite limited.

Unless DxO gets its act together and dramatically updates the v6, removes the rootkit and provides improved Mac OS X support - it still is not SL compatible at this time, even though they had ample time to use/test beta versions of SL; I won't upgrade.  
(Version 5.3.5)

DIGITAL FURY  It took a long time, but finally the v1 release is here and it doesn't disappoints.

In a nutshell, it plays everything you can throw at it without issues, including huge HD films encoded as H.264 Matroska files, something that no other player at this time can do consistently and reliably. MPlayer OS X Extended comes close, but at time it still has issues with sound going out of sync with the video.

It could use a nicer looking UI, but aside from that it does its job very well.  
(Version 1.0)

DIGITAL FURY  The application tries to call home when launched, and freeze than crashes if it doesn't manage to do so; very bad behavior than shouldn't be encouraged in any way.   
(Version 3.1)

DIGITAL FURY  Not bad if you like gimmicky sound effects and eye candy, but for me it's all about the music, and it doesn't support FLAC.

$30 really?

No thanks, I'll stick with the *free* Vox, which does support FLAC.   
(Version 1.49)

DIGITAL FURY  I have tried various version of this application in the past, but could never really justify paying $25 for it.

I guess with the effective launch of Google's "Gmail offline" free service, using an offline Gears database as a bonus, Mailplane has been rendered irrelevant; even more so the $25 that is asked for it.  
(Version 2.0.1)

DIGITAL FURY  I like the idea that it can work with several Gmail accounts, however it crashes every time I hit the "+" button in the "Accounts" tab, thus rendering it useless.  
(Version 0.3.2)

DIGITAL FURY  I'm writing this short review, to complement the one I did for the "Pro" version. This "Pro Office" makes more sense to me, because of the scanning + OCR integration (using a Fujitsu S300M) which allows some nice time saving automation.

I haven't tested the email, which should really be included in all version by default, and the integrated web server, but it seems stable for a beta.

Considering it includes scanner support and an OCR engine, the $150 price is a better value than the "Pro" edition at $80.  
(Version 2.0 pb1)

DIGITAL FURY  DEVONthink is an OK product, but rather than pay $50, $80 or $150 (depending on version) for an enhanced search engine and a tags implementation using a proprietary database, I would rather use Spotlight - if Apple could improve it - and rely on the native file system and OS X features.

I can already create PDFs, RTFs and WebArchives in OS X, and I'm using a Fujitsu S300M with Readiris, to create JPEGs + OCR on my paper documents (with a disciplined directory structure); so the added value of DEVONthink (regardless of version) is sketchy at best for me.  
(Version 2.0 pb1)

DIGITAL FURY  Looked good at first, but unfortunately Movist is another app that can't play .mkv files correctly - so showstopper for me right there. Also the audio is either scrambled or the stereo is broken and/or plays only in one channel.

Furthermore the product doesn't seemed to be developed anymore, as it has not been updated for over eight months.  
(Version 0.51)

DIGITAL FURY  $25 for just having Gmail wrapped as a container browser application, when it works just fine for free, is way too much.

Firefox with the Gmail Manager add-on, allows you to switch easily from account to account - all for free. Most of the other features are rather gimmicky.

Bottom line is that asking $25 for something like this is not very reasonable. Is anybody actually paying for this???  
(Version 1.61.4)

DIGITAL FURY  Very much agree with globetrotterdk review. While the application in itself is stable, it doesn't have a Mac "look & feel" to it, Metric definitely seems to be an afterthought (some fields are duplicated for both systems in some views), and the user interface is complex and not very esthetically pleasing; while at the same time not being customizable. Furthermore there is currently no way to import data from Garmin and Polar HR monitors and the food database is simplistic at best. Overall the tool is not bad and the underlying all-in-one concept is sound, it is nevertheless quirky, incomplete and rather on the expensive side.  
(Version 2.0)

DIGITAL FURY  Almost perfect. It's fast, stable and finds almost all the weird books and movies I have.

However, even though I only used DVDpedia and Bookpedia, you should really merge all these applications.  
(Version 4.3)

DIGITAL FURY  It might be a version 2, but it's still suffers from the same weaknesses as the old version, form over substance, and the fact that competition exist in the form of Bruji's DVDpedia, Bookpedia et al. applications.

Compared to the aforementioned pedias, Delicious Library (DL) 2 is still slower and has a tendency to crash, but more critical for me as an international customer getting books from all over the place; much more limited import sources. Where DL can't find a book/DVD or only returns partial info, DVDpedia and Bookpedia return a complete record almost every single time. Eye candy is worthless if the core features are weak.

I mean considering they are priced the same, I could not reasonably give DL more than two stars for value.
