Youmehub	Jun 12 2007	HURZ This really is an excellent application. Anyone with just a small knowledge of FileMaker can see how well thought-out this is and how much effort it contains. Worth every penny... oh, no.. cents :-)) (Version 2.01.01)		0

Wo ist der Eismann?	Apr 27 2007	HURZ This is really quite funny since you exactly know where to go for an ice cream. But its also true that there is no use out of ths town, so why not releasing the sourcecode here and some instructions to build its own location widgets? (Version 1.0)		0

Picturesque	Apr 24 2007	HURZ Really nice and straightforward app. Too bad that I build some scripts a few days ago to do (nearly) the same thing in PS… ;-) Would be good to have little fields to put values in in addition to the sliders… (Version 1.0)		0

VueScan	Nov 13 2006	HURZ The scanner is supported by OS X - with the extremely expensive SilverFast-software. To get this scanner to work in OS X my customer had to pay about 420 bucks. No need to say that a new scanner is cheaper. But why spend money on such a thing if you get a promise to make it work in a cheaper way? The onliest reason why the license was bought was to support the dev and 'cos he promised to make it work. Now I payed 80 Euros for the very valuable hint "Don't trust anyone" … (Version 8.3.78)		0

VueScan	Nov 7 2006	HURZ DON'T BUY THIS!!! I got in contact with the developer regarding supporting a SCSI-Quatographic of a customer of mine and send him the neccessary logfiles he asked for. He said he can make it work quite easily. With the next release, the scanner could be detected but wouldn't scan. Inbetween the customer bought a professional-license since the dev said he (easily) can make it work. When I asked the dev why Vuescan doesn't work although he's promised to do so, he simply said he can't handle it. And he even wouldn't refund the license. Now I have to give my customer the money back for a soft he can't use. If I pay for software it's not only for the soft itself but for the support too. In this case, I'm feeling very p****d.

MOK.IN.TOUCH™ I don't blame you. I never like this piece of crap software from day one.

VIRION Was the scanner one properly supported on OS X in the first place? I know my scanner detects in the os, but isn't supported in VueScan, nor in any scanning suite for OS X or Linux. As for your post, well the support listed in this release has the Quanto added 'for USB'. You probably should have told your customer to wait to see if the forthcoming support would be implemented for their interface type before buying the license, or at least to see if it was to their liking.

Mail Archiver X	Aug 31 2004	HURZ This is quite a nice idea and much better done than many of the other comparable apps. BUT... First, it is written in RealBasic and it looks really ugly. I doubt the dev has anytime anything heard of Apples GUI-guidelines. Besides all the personal impressions, it has such drawbacks like a logfile INSIDE the app itself. Very nice idea but needs still quite a lot of work! (Version 1.2b3)		0

BEATRIX WILLIUS Tell me, how to make it better. To say it's ugly is easy, but how to make it better is rather more complicated.

Mail Archiver X

ANONYMOUS I'd be glad to tell you how to make it better.

1. (BIG required fix) Make the browser window resizable. I bought a 17 inch PB so I could use the nice big screen.

2. Header Graphic: Gone! Why do I need that? Is it a web site? No its software. The graphic wastes a ton of screen space.

3. Header Buttons: SHould be the standard OS X toolbar, including the ability to hide them using the toolbar button. SHould have the standard options of text only / icon only / icon & text and would be nice to have the option for small icons.

4. Border between the content & then actual window edge: Gone. Brushed metal apps sometimes use the border, but most Aqua apps don't. Just open text edit to see what I mean. Borders accomplish nothing & waste space.

5. "Entry View": OS X Has default widgets for tabs. Those should be used rather than graphics. This feels like a web page to me & makes me uncomfortable. It takes me "out of OS X". I think sometimes software developers want to be "artists" and make pretty things for people to look at rather than keeping people from having to see anything new. I prefer when every app has similar recognizable features & (honestly no offense) don't care much about seeing the developers creativity or personality in an app.

6. "Entry View" again: Would be nice to be able to collapse the header to just the date sent, from field & subject. It takes up so much space as it is.

7. "Entry View" again: Why the use of fields in the "Header Detail" tab? I guess I could see it for the search option, but it makes it impossible to copy complete header text.

8. "List View": Headers use weird titles. Stick with the standard "to, from, subject, date" (date has an E on the end most of the time). Columns usually hi-light when you sort by them, your app does not. It would be far better to see this list view located in a split view above the "Entry View" so that both "screens" are combined into one. (See Apple's Mail.App for example)

9. Tools palate: Not too horrible, but I'd prefer smaller icons & a vertical toolbar option. See Photoshop as an example.

10. For more research & apple standards this is a great place to start: http://developer.apple.com/ue/
