BetterTouchTool
Nov 28 2009

FLOUNDER  Wow... The magic mouse multitouch surface is a direct extension of the multitouch trackpad and as such any developer would be expected to implement the same type of gestures as the multitouch trackpad.

I paid for and used mouse zoom for a few days, not nearly as good as this app. Although the UI could use some work, and the window could respond to a cmd-W to close it. But I feel that this one is way better than mousezoom

Everplay
Nov 21 2009

FLOUNDER  While I like Everplay, I feel a few shortcomings are in it.

If for some reason iTunes is open the hotkeys will not interact with iTunes. so if you are listening to something in iTunes and then try to use the hotkeys you will have a different track playing though everplay, a little annoying. I would like to see everplay control iTunes when iTunes is open and if not then revert to the default behavior

Also I would like to see the plugin type for desktop cover art. I'm not a big fan of the default styles and would love to see a plugins like bowtie and ecoute.

Other than that awesome work

FLOUNDER  Yeah from free to 20 not worth it. This app maybe 10 but more like 5. Sure it's nice and all but I don't think it justifies 20. I commend the author on their hard work but I won't be upgrading

Picture Framer

FLOUNDER  I have not been able to get this to work in Leopard and I have emailed the Dev's they have not gotten back to me. Anyone else know what is going on?

Photo Desktop
Apr 28 2007
*****

FLOUNDER  The original Photo Desktop was great, allowed me to do what I wanted with out a single photo taking up the entire desktop. PD2 is even better with the many new options such as picture type it lets you select from standard, widescreen, portriat, etc.

Also the idea behind photosets that allows you change groups of photos on the fly depending on your mood is also great.

After being a fan of the original for so long I was excited to see a new version come out. Although the old version was free I feel like the cost is justified for the new version which is why I forked over my cold hard cash within 10 min of trying out the new version.

I hope the dev keeps up the good work.

Yep
Mar 30 2007

FLOUNDER  Ok I'm thoroughly pissed. I tried to use yep and when I first ran it it told me it would index all my PDF's what it didn't tell me was that it would automatically move them. But I don't want to have all my PDF's indexed I want the option to tell it stop let me tell you where to look and not just applying a blanket smackdown on all my documents.

While the idea of yep is good however by forcing a user to automatically index them all is not cool. I hope the dev's change this in future versions as I've now lost about 2 hours trying to put everything back in its place.

The 2nd option is when in list view to not view the extensions of the files. I know they are all pdf's. Why should my list say that as well?

Yep
Mar 30 2007

TED LECKIE  Yep doesn't move any of your PDFs (or at least it certainly shouldn't and if it has then we definitely want to hear about it. Our email is on the contact page of our website). You can change where Yep looks for PDFs through Yep's Tracking prefs. It's probably best to think of Yep as a very specialized Finder for PDFs.

Synergy Advance
Mar 27 2007

FLOUNDER  Almost a year and we're waiting on the .5 beta release. This app is in development almost as long as vista/longhorn was. I hope the dev will have a final version out by this time next year or he'd get overrun by coverstura.

A Better Finder Rename
Mar 14 2007

FLOUNDER  I am wondering I can set up an automator workflow (Even save it as a plugin for the finder so I have it as a contextual menu item) So what is the difference between using a automator workflow than using this app? They both are able to accomplish the same thing or am I off base here?

FLOUNDER  I used to like unsanity products but my last two support requests fell on deaf ears and I never heard from the devs about it. This is piss poor customer service. I doub't I'll be purchasing any more of their products anytime soon

Zooom
Feb 21 2007
*****

FLOUNDER  I love this app and have been waiting for something like it for a long LONG time. I hate it when I move my windows away from the center and over time this happens either by accident or on purpose. But now with Zooom I have the ability to align all my windows to the spots I want. It helps me center or off center my windows so that everything is in proportion. I don't really use the resize ability much however magnetics is what sells me this app. I love it

FLOUNDER  While the dev doesn't much speak about the app and leaves its users to wonder what is going on. However since it was updated to be a universal binary which shows the dev working on it. It is a good app. No need to clutter your documents folder with items that you are working on but don't want to fire up word for. A simple no obtrusive text editor is great.

I think its better than text edit because it allows you to keep all of your documents in the side bar without having to search for other documents to open if you need them.

Photo Desktop

*****

FLOUNDER  Sweet I love this app... its better than using a picture as the desktop picture. How ever I would just like the ability to either change the borders of the pictures or change the size of the borders while retaining the size of the picture.

Over all this is a great app.

LiteSwitch X
Jul 23 2006
*****

FLOUNDER  I love this app. I have been using it since the 10.2 or 10.1 days... so long I don't remember. However This has alot more functionality than the built in cmd-tab switcher that apple added with tiger.

It makes it easier to force quit apps, show and hide apps and even allows you to prevent some apps to be shown in the switcher. I prefer this to the OS X built in switcher anyday.

FLOUNDER  I would love to see this as a universal binary but going to the authors website it hasn't been touched in about a year. I'm just wondering/hoping that he is ok...

Menuet
Jun 12 2006

FLOUNDER  I like menuet but I wish it had more visual feedback for actions like a popup that says going to the next song or play/pause or increase the volume. I like to know that when I hit the hot keys something is happening

****.

FLOUNDER  While I was critical of the app before since it was such a long time since it was last updated but it's finally moving and I congratulate the author on a fine job of the .4b3 version. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the final version. I just hope I don't have to wait for another year.

Synergy Advance
Feb 22 2006

FLOUNDER  Now I've been using synergy for years, how long I can't remember but when synergy advance came out I thought it looked promising. But I think the development of it is stalled since there have been no updates since july of 05 and when his road map had said that it would have been completed in Nov of 05. I emailed the developer in the middle of Jan and he said a new release version was coming out soon after a maintence release of synergy but it hasn't come out yet over a month later.

I have paid for both synergy and synergy advance and I would buy another license for synergy advance if it would encourage the developer to continue developing but now I have serous doubts about it. Although menuet has come out and I like their product I would prefer to have synergy advance released to a 1.0 version and out of beta testing.

Here's to hoping
