MACNOOK  To the Developer: Please check your spam folder.

I cannot get syncing to work properly (re: my comment below-- it seemed to work...once). I emailed a support request on February 13th and I haven't heard from you yet. I just forwarded it to you again.

MACNOOK  Version numbering is seemingly incorrect.

I had version 3.0.1-- date modified December 3rd. Today-- December 23rd-- this "new" version of 3.0.1 is out. Check for updates told me I had the newest version, but I downloaded the update (dated 12-23) anyway. It is a different build (last modified date December 22nd) and...

the syncing now seems to work correctly!

MACNOOK  Bokeh was offered for one day at a pretty good deal-- at least it seemed that way at the time. WIthout proper time to evaluate it, I purchased it anyway. In retrospect, I feel ripped off.

Support is nonexistent to paying customers. If you want any support, don't expect to get it from Elgebar Studios. I wrote them a detailed explanation about a problem that makes the software almost useless to me and no amount of troubleshooting or obvious solutions made a bit of difference on my end.

I sent a screen shot, the email explanation, and request for support on June 6th. I forwarded the same email and screen shot on June 13th. Today it's July 11th and I haven't gotten any response from them. None, zip, zero. I'm 100% certain that the email hasn't been caught in spam filters. They just have not responded-- at all (not even an auto response). I believe 5 weeks should be adequate time to respond.

The problem is this: If I launch Bokeh, I stop being able to see or switch between open applications via the dock or Command-Tab application switching. New application launches (ie, opened after Bokeh's been opened) don't show at all in the dock or App Switcher, but they *are* open. I have to "relaunch" them to get back to my work in that application... or if an open window is open, I can click on it to return to the application. Quitting Bokeh doesn't help. Quitting Bokeh and the Finder doesn't help. Quitting Bokeh, the Finder, and relaunching the Dock doesn't help either. The only thing that helps is restarting my system.

I'm certain it's Bokeh. The moment it's launched this behavior begins. I don't have any problems with my system until Bokeh is launched.

This bug puts a serious crimp in my workflow... and I expect that it would cause pause for lots of other people as well. As a result, it hasn't been launched recently-- I shouldn't have to restart to get my work done.

No response from Elgebar means I'll be deleting the app completely and it would take a true miracle for me to ever send another penny to Elgebar Studios. I'm just thankful I didn't pay full price.

I do wish you could rate products 0 stars.

Use renice via the terminal. It's free and won't cause any problems with your system.

ARCLITE  Hi MacNook,

I'm extremely sorry that you feel ripped off. I've gone back and checked, and I can't find any of your e-mails. Not in my inbox, not in my spam filter, nowhere. Which e-mail address did you send these messages to?

I thank you for your attempt at providing a detailed explanation of your bug. If I had received it, it would have helped greatly in tracking down the issue. The explanation you give here sounds grim -- quite a bit is failing. I'd love to get some more information if we can figure out a medium of communication that works.

Once again, I'm sorry that you had such a terrible experience with Bokeh and trying to contact me for support. I honestly have no traces of any e-mails, even caught in spam filters. If you'd like, you can contact me with your registration code either directly by e-mail at pado@elgebar.com, or (in case you don't trust e-mailing me) on iChat with the screenname padohka. I'll give you a full refund, and work with you to fix this bug, if you'd like.

If there's anything else I can do to help you, or to help right this wrong, please notify me in this thread, or through the above means of communication.

Greatest apologies,

Geoff Pado

MACNOOK  I haven't put this through the paces yet, so I can't do a full review, so this is just a feature request/suggestion--

Could you please add an option to turn off the blur effect?

MACNOOK  I finally have all my serial numbers in one place-- it's amazing that I've managed to keep track of all of them for as long as I have.

For those who don't need the extra security or encryption, this software is an excellent solution. If you have a lot of software, the initial setup (data entry) takes some time, but it only has to be done once and the next time you set up a new system or need to reinstall everything, you'll thank yourself (and the developer).

My biggest complaint about this software is that I can't nest folders-- fix that and it'll be perfect. :)

Other little stuff: How about having options for small icons for the list on the left?

And like Jobby pointed out, it'd be nice if Command-N echoed the + button.

Thanks for getting me organized.

Sticky Windows

MACNOOK  I'd love to be able to tell you what I think about this software, but it just isn't working for me.

If I turn it on, my dock no longer works (it won't pop up at all) nor does it work to drag windows to the edge of my screen -- they act normally and don't/wont turn into tabs. Turn off Sticky Windows and my dock works again.

Anyway, looks like something I'd love to use, but it's not working here.

MACNOOK  This has to be the absolute coolest non-productive application I've got my hands on in a long time. I have it set to create until recent cache is full (set to 500) and I review them later. I love good desktop pictures and I'm confident this will make my collection a LOT better. I came back to check the price because I was going to pay for it... Thanks!

Only one feature request that I can think of right now: I'd love to generate "full screen" at any resolution (like the ability to generate 1920x1200 desktop pics when I'm only using a 1024x768 screen)
