GRAHAM PERRIN Very savvy use of WebArchive and other technologies. It's a long, long time since I saw such potential in an application. I have a few suggestions for improvement, one of which I'll make public: — support for System Services. The other suggestions, I'll make privately.

GRAHAM PERRIN If text is selected, or if the i-beam cursor is in a text field: — key delete to delete text — key command-delete to delete the surrounding note. If you click the surrounding note (beyond a text field): — key delete to delete the selected note. In either case, an alert appears: Are you sure you want to delete the selected note. If you have opted to not have the alerts, then we should have a preference to restore the alerts. This should be an improvement suggestion to the developers. http://www.qu-s.eu/support.html may be most appropriate.

GRAHAM PERRIN Use Apple Finder. ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/ /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/ At one of the two paths, Finder will show to you: Launch Safari.

GRAHAM PERRIN > How about putting the user before profits and incorporating > multiple search engine options. A downgrade of well-developed Safari, for compatibility with an un-developed product, is not a recommended approach. Are you confident that your persistence with a downgraded product combination will allow you to receive all critical security updates? You can use another product that places multiple user-configurable engines in the search menu. I do so. http://webkit.org/ and there's nothing to prevent us from contributing or improving code. The 'greedy exclusivity' description does not fairly reflect the open nature of the software.

LUKE_ARMSTRONG Thanks Graham, I appreciate your comments, but there really can be no excuse for the Safari developers not implementing a multiple search engine option. If a student in Chicago can do it in his spare time (acidsearch) why can't they? The answer, I believe, is that they can, but they are working in a control freak culture and have a cosy deal with Google. I have tried the webkit engine as you have suggested, while it feels super fast, it, too, is also 'undeveloped' (i.e. in a state of daily development) and might, itself, not be truly secure? Not sure about having to update every few days either... I am going to have to re-load Safari 3.2 now because several websites will no longer interact with 3.1 (PayPal for instance). But, unless I can find a way around the multiple search engine handicap I might have to defect to Firefox.

GRAHAM PERRIN At the developer's site http://www.pozytron.com/support I have suggested a) an update for compatibility with version 3.2.1 of Safari; and b) an update to the official page http://www.pozytron.com/acidsearch

GRAHAM PERRIN Main Rating: 2, because support from UK publisher Avanquest Software UK Limited http://www.avanquest.co.uk/ is lacklustre. I filed a detailed bug report on 6th of May and so far their advice has consisted of telling me to do the things that I told them I had already done. Poor service underlies everything else.

in a favourite for the connection. You can create separate favourites but it's probably not advisable to mount and write to both at the same time.

GRAHAM PERRIN MacFusion issue 9 comment 6 http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=9#c6 explains why the menu extra icon can not (will not) be draggable. http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=156 arises from the developer's discussion of user preferences for the menu extra, and for a Dock icon.

GRAHAM PERRIN Features: 2 (poor), especially compared with: a) Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin, which offers me greater flexibility b) Apple Preview, which lets me annotate PDF. Ease of use: I wavered between 2 and 1 (worst). Interaction with other applications is lacklustre. Ulimately I'm slapping it down to 1 because it actively restricts me from adding comments. Adobe, please understand that comments tend to be for my own benefit, rarely for the benefit of others in a workflow. Value: 1 (worst). The application is buggy. The help, when I sought it, was unhelpful, contradictory and buggy. Every minute wasted devalued the product. Stability: 5 (best), but I'm discounting this from my overall score because a developer with the experience and clout of Adobe should never produce an unstable application. My overall score of 1 (worst) reflects my opinion that for their flagship technology, Adobe should have presented a bug-free and exceptionally appealing product. As they fail to do this, so my inclination to purchase their 'fuller-featured' products drops close to zero. For my more detailed review, please see http://fuzzy.wordpress.com/2006/12/09/adobereader8/
