JDUB800  Almost too useful! A must install...  
(Version 1.6b2)

JDUB800  Bought this and found it useless before I'd even finished setting it up. Yes, my bad.

It is a severely limited product that seems nice on the outside, but after hitting wall after wall and reading comments about iList below, think I'll give that a try instead.

Who wants to buy a sealed version of Bento?!?

*cough*  
(Version 2.0v5)

JDUB800  You mention the time it would take to upgrade all of your machines? Did you not test it on one machine first? Do you not run cloning software on your machines to roll back 'bad upgrades'?

I also sell my time and even though I did a prompt upgrade, I made sure I had an escape route in case things went wrong. This is a good practice to follow. Sorry you had to buy a new printer... :/  
(Version 10.6.1)

JDUB800  Something I've not seen in the press, is that these drivers now include what appears to be an Apple influenced (built?) scanner application that works with supported devices. Nice to see some unification with this stuff at long last. An excellent update - Don't forget to remove the old applications if you don't use them. :)  
(Version 2.0)

JDUB800  How much?!?! :/  
(Version '09)

JDUB800  I got this as part of recent bundle and for a while it has sat there unused - As a PS and PM user, I didn't see much use for this app. Strangely, I tried this today for some very small items and it was quick and useful. If this developed some Automator support, it could find a little niche in my toolbox - maybe. Showing potential, but a little pricey as a standalone...  
(Version 1.5.3)

JDUB800  Is this a player for a new proprietary form of image compression? If so, shouldn't the player be free?  
(Version 0300)

JDUB800  Blender 2.5 is not available yet. It is expected within the next few months...  
(Version 2.49rc2)

JDUB800  I am also a huge fan of CSSEdit, but am a little bewildered by Espresso's lack of integration with it. This should be the number one priority IMHO. It does have some nice features, but having use a separate CSS app, when the frameworks already exists by the same author, is a little strange... :/  
(Version 1.0.3)

JDUB800  Certainly a nice looking app, but is $20 really gonna cut it when Disk Inventory X and Grand Perspective do very similar for free? GP in particular is a fine looking/working app of it's type. In-app previews are a nice bonus, but twenty dollar's worth...?  
(Version 0.99b)

JDUB800  After this newest update Fluid and it's instances appear to crash on site loading. Yes, I do have Safari 4b installed, but this update was meant to fix this?  
(Version 0.9.6)

JDUB800  Yeah, I've gotta agree with the first poster - Seemed like a good idea at the time, but in reality, seems klutzy and a badly implemented. Ugly choice of default skin that looks nothing like the screenshot implies - and the skin 'store' didn't boost my hopes either - with only one other choice from what I could see.

As soon as I had trouble pulling up the preferences window (but instead made Firefox active), I knew this needed more refinement.

Sorry guys, maybe in a version or three... :)  
(Version 1.0)

JDUB800  It's strange that a lot of people are having problems, as for me, this app have delivered everything as promised. Granted, I tend to use a DLNA server now for my PS3 client needs, but when needed, ML gives me little, if any problems. A well designed and trouble free network service. I think I've already given a good rating, so won't again...  
(Version 1.6)

JDUB800  Further to the above, it seems that you CAN delete from the view. Excellent work. A very useful app - 5 stars!  
(Version 1.0)

JDUB800  Excellent program - and has leaped in front of DIX for speed and facilities. Filtering works very well. One missing feature however is there appears to be be no way to delete files/folders directly from the map view. Unless I missed something there?  
(Version 1.0)

JDUB800  I thought I'd check on the icon situation - Still no?!? Btw, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it... :)  
(Version 5.0.44)

JDUB800  I have to fully agree with the comments below - Drive Genius is worthless. I got it as part of the MU bundle a few days ago and thought I'd use it to defrag my HD as it contains a lot of files larger than 20MB. Bad move.

It 'found' a btree error which then stopped all the repair features of the program from working correctly. It's repair and rebuild features were unable to fix it. So I wiped my spare Time Machine drive and cloned the data...

I thought I'd run a couple of tests to see what happened (with the cloned data) and after an initial green light from the disk verification feature, tried the defrag again. Now I was getting file extent warnings - Again DG was unable to repair them. Support 'advised' me to format the HD. Easy way out, eh??

Finally, I decided the wipe the backup drive, re-clone and try one last time. The same thing happened. Now doing a final clone and then format and rebuild my internal HD - Without going anywhere near DG. What a waste of my time!!

In my experience, DG's defrag feature is seriously flawed. This is garbage - Don't go anywhere near it.  
(Version 2.1)

JDUB800  Still a very solid browser. Fast reliable and well featured...BUT because of Opera's inability to use 1Password, it is not my daily browser - and only gets wheeled out for compatibilty checking. I think the new UI works nicely and makes a change from the Safari greyness permeating through the browser UI world - even if it's a little Vista-ish on the tabs.

Get 1Password working with Opera and I'll come back to it full time. It's a great browser with a bunch of features that you'll grow to love. For now, I love 1Password more.  
(Version 9.60)

JDUB800  If it's not through Apple Mail, then using Fluid for Gmail allows you far more options - and for free. I can't see any benefits in using this application...  
(Version 2.0b8)

JDUB800  This may be because the incremental backup snapshots have been reset during the OS update. Hopefully, it should return to quick backups next time you try it. Will find out myself shortly...  
(Version 10.5.5)

JDUB800  Did the 300MB+ update and installed, restarted and all appears to be fine. I've read the update notes and the improvements and fixes seem welcome. I did fix all permissions before updating though... :)  
(Version 10.5.5)

JDUB800  I've been a long time user of this and - yes, it was a free upgrade. :)  
(Version 1.6.6)

JDUB800  A fantastic browser with fast and well thought out features. Alas, it doesn't work with 1Password, so unfortunately, since I moved over to that, I rarely use it anymore. I still keep it on my drive though for doing small screen browser testing.  
(Version 9.51)

JDUB800  To clarify the above I was actually using 1.1.2. Also, I was using Gibbon, not Heron. My apologies. Not enough coffee this morning!

The advice regarding the tool install still applies! :)  
(Version 2.0b1)

JDUB800  This is very likely. The bet best would be to install the tools and see what happens.

I have a standard install of 8.04 running just fine with 1.2, bar the fancy graphics. Not surprising really.  
(Version 2.0b1)

JDUB800  A very nicely designed application, with excellent use of Core Animation, etc. Drag and drop simplicity and very intuitive to use.

BUT....the price is expensive when compared to established players in the market, such as NetNewswire and especially the ever improving Vienna, which is also an excellent product.

I personally own a licence for Endo, but with some annoying glitches and variable support, I've not bothered with it in recent times. I could be persuaded to buy another licence for another product, but I doubt at this price. A shame.   
(Version 1.0)

JDUB800  This doesn't make playable DVDs. Who wants to use MPEG-2? I certainly don't...  
(Version 2.0)

JDUB800  Easily the best password manager. Beware this version requires you to buy a new licence if you have a Mac Gems (or similar) licence. You do get a 15% discount if you move quickly - I did.  
(Version 2.6)

JDUB800  As a licensed user of both, I've found Fusion to be by far the most robust and stable of the two.

As someone who updates firmware on various home devices via PC USB, Fusion has performed excellently on every occasion - Alas, the first time I tried it with Parallels, it blue screened, bricking the device - leaving me at the mercy of the device's warranty. I've never used it since. Thankfully the device was replaced and since, I've used Fusion to do this with no problems! :)  
(Version 1.1.2)

JDUB800  Great product - and I appreciate the open source, non paid for aspect. It's well featured, but boy, is it slow to develop.

v1.0 to v1.6 in what, six years?

I wish I could contribute in a meaningful way...  
(Version 1.6)

JDUB800  Nice idea, but the DL from the site shows French application text on my British system. Can see English in the screenies, so they exist somewhere...?  
(Version 1.3)

JDUB800  This is a great, solid application. Well designed and full featured. It filled a spot I had suffered for ages. Worth the cash.

Once caveat - The update mechanism seems a bit fiddly. Could Sparkle not just update the app in situ instead of running an installer? Minor niggle, I know... :)  
(Version 1.0.5)

JDUB800  Yes you could - and you'd miss the point.  
(Version 1.1.3)

JDUB800  Imagine a lite version of Photoshop. Sure, you need to check it out to make sure it's not missing the crucial features you need, but otherwise, it loads fast and does some good things very quickly. Worth the time. Loads in a tenth of the time of PS.

Getting better all the time... :D  
(Version 1.1.3)

JDUB800  Sorry, you've actually missed my point - I'm talking about piping Growl notifications through to the PS3. Messages would appear on the PS3 - about the Mac. Not the other way around.

Beige: You'll want to see your wife about that!! ;)  
(Version 1.2)

JDUB800  np - I was thinking along the lines of any notifications that were forwarded to other computers could include the PS3 as a viable destination.

Examples could include new email, backup complete or anything that is setup to respond via Growl...could be pretty much anything.  
(Version 1.2)

JDUB800  The kind of notifications were to do with the Mac - Ever used Growl?

Obviously not...  
(Version 1.2)

JDUB800  After my earlier comments, I wanted to say that the latest version appears to work flawlessly. I threw some large HD + 5.1 audio media at it and it all played without a hiccup.

Great work - All is good. I'm now going to revise my ratings accordingly - only fair!

Now, how about some Growl notifications? :D  
(Version 1.2)

JDUB800  I set it up last night and found it to be generally reliable, but not quite perfect.

Non-DRM'd iTunes tracks work nicely, as well as videos and iPhoto images. iPhoto events are also supported, as well as DivX. The ability to browse a whole volume is also welcome.

There are a few annoying delays and pauses during the loading of some media - and I had to do a PS3 restart because of a possible lockup.

Easily the best OSX/PS3 solution. A promising start - Room for improvement though!  
(Version 1.0.2)

JDUB800  Be aware there is an upgrade fee for v.3 users. Although likely, this wasn't confirmed until actually running the app.  
(Version 4.0b5)

JDUB800  Nice idea and features - Not sure about the price.

Tried it out and it left some inconsistent artefacts on my dock. I then defaulted to the 'original' and it doesn't work correctly. I can live with it for now however. :/

All in all a nice idea, but with a couple of not-very-nice bugs at the moment - I also think $5 would be more palatable!

YMMV.  
(Version 1.0b)

JDUB800  A superb, well designed Mac-like piece of software from Nokia. I'm stunned.

Allows iTunes and iPhoto integration, plus more. If you have a supported phone, it works a treat. Recommended. :D  
(Version 1.0b)

JDUB800  Wow! This takes me back - Skool Daze as well - A real blast from the past...LOL  
(Version 3.0)

JDUB800  I did try SideNote - and liked it - although I had some reliability issues (the tab would disappear with no way to re-activate it) on my then new MBP and subsequently dropped it. :(  
(Version 5.8)

JDUB800  I totally agree. As someone who's used DT since v1, I found DD a lot more flexible and also registered it soon after launch. Unfortunately, due to lack of development, I moved back to DT some time later.

I'd be very surprised if anyone has actually 'waited' for DD all this time. I should think they moved on long ago.  
(Version 5.8)

JDUB800  I've found it wasy to install, setup and reliable in use. Have streamed a lot of stuff with this. Used it to play music via iTunes the other night while showing a bunch photos from iPhoto. Worked a treat. Obviously the movie support is cool too!!

Looking forward to trying the new codec support...  
(Version 3.0)

JDUB800  Worth every single penny. Very responsive developer and useful, well designed features!  
(Version 2.5)

JDUB800  Wow!! Nokia actually providing support on release?? Well done - and many thanks.  
(Version 1.0)

JDUB800  Brilliant app! Shame it hasn't been updated in a while tho - Hope it hasn't been left to gather dust..?  
(Version 1.1.8)

JDUB800  What's this about Leopard arriving at the end of March? Where does it say this apart from the Amazon link at the top of the page?!?  
(Version 10.4.9)

JDUB800  Nice idea - Some suggestions on the new version: -

Maybe a coloured blob for status, as opposed to coloured txt - Hard to read on the light row colour.

Maybe showing more details of the gamer's card. Maybe on get info?

A minimised window launch option, with online friends on the dock popup menu.

Preferred friends growl alert. When specific friends come online..?  
(Version 1.6b)

JDUB800  The poster below was correct - I got my upgrade for £32, instead of £60-70. That's more like it. Got the extra 10% discount by waiting on the cart page. DL'ing now. :)  
(Version 8.0)

JDUB800  I think the OP had actually done the upgrade... :)  
(Version 8.0)

JDUB800  Looks potentially good - Some strange pricing though. $79 for US, £69 for UK?!? Haven't these people heard of the exchange rate?

Can't seem to find the upgrade pricing either...hmmm.  
(Version 8.0)

JDUB800  For those with serial number problems, there's a link from the download page that allows you to generate a valid CS3 serial in exchange for a valid CS2 one...HTH  
(Version CS3b)

JDUB800  Fair comment - I was forgetting that you do reproduce the file placeholders without content - I was originally only talking about folder structure. That is a cool feature, no doubt.

Going back to my original comment however, I did say it looked interesting, etc. I still stand by that - I still also think it's too expensive - YMMV. Cheers.  
(Version 1.1.5)

JDUB800  I understand your point of view and it's appreciated, but when you consider that something like Path Finder can generate (basic admittedly, but more varied) similar reports among a huge feature set - all for $39 - It does makes your product seem expensive.

Using YummyFTP, I can do pretty much the same thing using filters - and that comes with an excellent full featured FTP client. The best on the Mac. That's $25.

$5 or $10 feels more like the price level for this app - Purely IMO of course! :)  
(Version 1.1.5)

JDUB800  Looks interesting, possibly useful - but expensive at $25..  
(Version 1.1.5)

JDUB800  Aha - I missed the images bit - My bad... :)  
(Version 1.0.1)

JDUB800  Seems like a nice idea - initially stating: 'Designed to be a replacement for preview' - but then at the end, the author warns 'Not designed to be a complete replacement...'??  
(Version 1.0.1)

JDUB800  Why is a browser needed for 'general needs'? Does Safari not do this and more?

Just curious...  
(Version 1.0b)

JDUB800  Excellent - Download, set as default decompress utility and forget. Do not pass go, do not collect Stuffit. :D  
(Version 1.3)

JDUB800  Brilliant!! FLV in QT....'nuff said!  
(Version 0.5)

JDUB800  I've been needing a proper FLV playback method for a while now - and with this and movie info stats via QT, this is absolutely ideal!

Many, many thanks!  
(Version 0.5)

JDUB800  ...and yet, after the comments below, here is another video beta. Confusing or what?!  
(Version 1.5.0.77)

JDUB800  Try VLC - although not the latest version - I think you need 0.84. Plays VLC files nicely! HTH  
(Version 2.0)

JDUB800  Wow! I like this...

As much as I like Vienna, I found it sluggish on the PB I use most of the time, so I'd been looking elsewhere.

This is fast, has a great GUI and a fair price. I forgot I had a couple of weeks to trial it and paid for it within a couple of hours.

Hmmm, must be some subliminal purchase requests in there...LOL  
(Version 1.0.28)

JDUB800  As a Safari, then Camino user for long periods of time, Opera is less Mac-like than I'd prefer - But the sheer range of features, nice touches and developer friendly tools have made this my default browser for the past few weeks. They now just need to work on the odd stability glitch and site incompatibilty (rare) and I'll be an even happier customer...  
(Version 9.0.1)

JDUB800  Nice little gadget - Graphics could be improved a bit, but shows a lot of promise. Pricing is excellent. :)  
(Version 2.0)

JDUB800  An useful spread of mini tools. If you work with MB, px or em, you'll find this worth a download.  
(Version 1.0.1)

JDUB800  Sorry? How much is this?!?! $50???!  
(Version 1.1)

JDUB800  Looks a great little app, but unfortunately seems to be suffering from a bug on my machine: The drawer tab on the side of the screen seems to disappear at random, even though the task is still active. Sp, I'm unable to activate it...

The worst thing is, I only ever find this out when I need it, so alas...it's now zapped!!

Fix this bug and I'll try it again. Looks useful...  
(Version 1.7)

JDUB800  Amberv, what are you on about?!? Learn to read AND understand, before assuming other people's motives...

I enjoy the rapid beta release cycle that this developer chooses and registered 18 months ago. In the face of the higher profile OO3, this product is more than capable of competing against it. Alas, in perpetual beta, many people may not give it a chance and may find the versioning confusing, meaning lost sales. Case closed.  
(Version 1.1b24f)

JDUB800  That's TextEdit running in the screenshot, isn't it?!  
(Version 3.0)

JDUB800  $400 for the client version, $4000 PER CPU for the server version.

Ouch! That's a lot of money...

Dinosaur or not, that's a lot of money for something that appears to be updated on a glacial basis...  
(Version 6.1)

JDUB800  AFAIK, this isn't another format - it's just another service that plays Flash video...

HTH  
(Version 2.0)

JDUB800  Easily the best FTP client for the Mac.

Very configurable, applescriptable and uses all the standard Mac UI conventions. It also supports droplets and upload automation.

I now have to do a lot of FTP transactions for my work and find it indespensable.

The developer is responsive and even added a couple of my feature requests within a couple of days. It's rare I have this much praise for a product, but here it's deserved. Highly recommended!!  
(Version 1.5)

JDUB800  Okay - I'll give it a go and let you know what I think. I do actually have a use for a better compression tool. :)  
(Version 1.0.1)

JDUB800  Looks good, but when zip functionality is included as standard, I'd say it looks overpriced...  
(Version 1.0.1)

JDUB800  Does this version need X11?  
(Version 2.0.1 r1.0)

JDUB800  Installed it and started having big problems with my UI. Menus overlapped and windows not coming into focus. I remembered another comment about this, so i knew where to look. Since I quit it, all has returned to normal. Maybe when these issues are fixed - For now, zapped!  
(Version 2.2.1b2)

JDUB800  Cool little widget - it's got a small bug where labelled items show missing image icons (fixed by selecting no label), but apart from that, could be quite useful. I'll give it a go. The price is useful too.

Many thanks for the hard work! :)  
(Version 2.0)

JDUB800  I have to agree with comments below. If the product is stable, then declare it 1.1 final and then move on.

There are a lot of people that won't touch a beta version - You're probably losing a lot of potential customers.  
(Version 1.1b23)
