(Version 0.6.1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Also, there's no selector!  
(Version 0.3)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Patterns, custom patterns, FatBits, brush mirrors . . .

The separate windows are also kind of annoying. One reason is that it looks more cluttered; the other reason, which is probably easy to fix, is that if you click on a new tool, you can start using it immediately: you have to click on the main window one to activate it, then click again to start using the tool.

The bomb is a little unnecessary, too. In MacPaint you would double-click the eraser to clear, which made sense. As this may not be obvious, perhaps a clear button would be better--one that you click once and it clears, rather than clicking three times to use the bomb tool.  
(Version 0.3)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Well, there's just nothing particularly MacPainty about it. MacPaint was really something in its day; if you're trying to "upgrade" it to the modern day, your program should be a lot more advanced. If, however, you're trying to bring MacPaint to OS X, the interface is not much the same, and it lacks MacPaint features like FatBits and Brush Mirrors.  
(Version 0.2)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Yes, I would change the name. Aside from annoying Apple, this program does not much resemble MacPaint.  
(Version 0.1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Actually, 68k users came first. I protest, this will not run under Basilisk II.  
(Version 1.0)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Does not fix the restart-on-wake-from-sleep issue (just happened), but it does fix graphics glitches and allegedly the screen freeze issue.  
(Version )

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Little Snitch Network Monitor uses about 1% of CPU about when it is first started, then gradually builds up to 5% - 10%. I am running 2.0b10, which says it fixed a problem with Little Snitch Network Monitor... was this the problem? Either way, it's still there.  
(Version 2.0b10)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Okay, I downloaded GenericToolbar.framework and it opens, but every .lit file I've tried comes up as a document with 0 pages.  
(Version 0.1a)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Crashes on open.

(Version 0.1a)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Works terrifically; would be nice if the developer would bother to compile a universal binary. Presently you can download the source code and compile it as i386 with no problems.  
(Version 2.0.1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Nice -- but how about an option to hide it from the dock?  
(Version 1.4)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  I have a USB Dazzle video digitizer, and it still doesn't work. Seeing as the software comes with a DirectX installer, I suppose this is due to lack of DirectX support? Why is it that emulators / virtualizers feel that DirectX / 3D support is unimportant? There's actually little I can use Parallels for because of that one problem causing so many others.  
(Version 2.5.3170)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Is there any way to order chapters? Each chapter is a document, and I have labeled them "Chapter I, Chapter II", etc. But since CopyWrite orders them alphabetically, it screw up when I get to "Chapter IX". Is there no way to override this ordering?  
(Version 2.2.8)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  I have a Dazzle DVC100 video capture device -- USB 2.0 -- still doesn't work under Parallels. Works fine under BootCamp and VMware (although VMware's too slow to handle it).  
(Version 2.5.3150)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Can someone tell me why it is necessary to overwrite a file more than once?

Suppose you have a 100MB hard drive. (I know -- it's just an example.) It is filled with a 100MB file. You delete that file, then load another 100MB file onto the drive.

The first 100MB is completely gone, right? Because if it isn't, then you would be fitting more than 100MB on the drive -- and if anything significant could be recovered, then you'd be fitting a lot more than the drive's capacity.

If any remotely useful data can be recovered after one -- let alone seven -- rewrites, couldn't one find a way to fit more data on a hard drive than its capacity?

I don't see why one would need to overwrite more than just once.  
(Version 2.2.3)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Quits unexpectedly when loading any commercial game, including Mario 64, on an iMac Core Duo.  
(Version 0.5.1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Am I insane, or is there no Intel version? The Intel download on the site gives me a PPC binary that runs under Rosetta even after it is fully launched.  
(Version 2.10-1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Still my favorite screenwriting software, for the following silly reasons:

1. I can trust it — because it is an industry standard, I don't have to worry about formatting, fonts or anything. I just write. ("Just add words.")

2. It has a very simple interface. There's just a window with your script in page layout — or, if you want, note cards next to it.

That said, it isn't work the price if you're presently looking for software — but that is only because of Celtx.  
(Version 7.1.3)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Quits unexpectedly on launch on my 10.4.8-equipped iMac Core Duo.  
(Version 1.0b1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  This is a steal at that price.  
(Version 1.5)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  My experience has been better than I could have expected. It's amazing how many things run — Office, IE6, Kontakt2 (although there isn't much of a way to use it without MIDI support). Nice GUI, more compatible than WINE for Mac — considering what it's trying to do, it's amazing. Of course you can't expect everything to work! It's a beta of something that states explicitly that not everything will work.

My chief complaints are launch speed and hardware support, but it would be a miracle if both of those were perfect.  
(Version 6.0b1a)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  It works pretty well — but what I would very much like is a simple way to copy with root privileges. Opening it with "sudo" in Terminal is annoying and I don't think implementing this in the GUI is hard. But other than that, brilliant!  
(Version 3.3.1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Is it just me, or is this a widget and not a screensaver?  
(Version 1.0)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  What I do with my remote is use it to watch a movie, then sleep the computer remotely. I downloaded this so I could do that with VLC player, but I can't figure out how to have the Play (Held) button sleep the computer. It looks to me like it isn't possible. So the app is useless to me.

Also, can command, control, option and / or shift keys be mapped to buttons? I can't figure out how to do much — even get this thing off VLC Player behavior when VLC is closed. I don't see any documentation. I'll look into this more, but it shouldn't take this much effort. How lazy we are.  
(Version 1.0pre3)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Now it's giving inaccurate readings — it's fluctuating very rapidly between 29°C and 34°C. By rapidly I mean several times per second if I let it update that quickly.  
(Version 1.0.3)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  I just reproduced the 0°C error by accident on my 20" iMac Core Duo. All I did was double-click the app, and before it was done opening moved it from the Desktop to the Applications folder. This seems to work every time. If I open it like a normal person, it works fine.  
(Version 1.0.3)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Couldn't be simpler. Everything worked perfectly for me,—Windows drivers, live partitioning of the boot volume and all,—and it's amazingly fast.

I wonder if the Windows XP on Mac website will now disappear.  
(Version 1.0b1)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Ha! Brilliant. Reminds me of the System Bugs desk accessory. As for a suggestion, if, when the cats are always in front, the application was not activated when the user (accidentally) clicks on a cat—that would be nice.
