MISTERROGERS  Hey,

Actually, iRatchet has fairly robust support for multi-currency. You can assign a distinct currency to use for each client. iRatchet also supports web service rate conversion; checking web services for the current rate.  
(Version 1.75)

MISTERROGERS  MacFreelance templates are located in:

'~/Library/Application Support/MacFreelance/Invoice Templates'. If you modify one or design your own, rename it. There are instructions for this in the forum at prettygoodsoftware.org

MISTERROGERS  Hey All,

MacFreelance is iRatchet rebranded. iRatchet is alive and well - the key reason for this deal is to get this app into Apple Stores, Frys, etc. Feature for feature, they'll stay in sync.  
(Version 1.0)

MISTERROGERS  Very true; currency conversion is not supported yet. To some, this is necessary, but to many, it is not. My point wasn't that I don't have more work to do, but that there is multi-currency support. Many users find that the current implementation meets their needs. Maybe a more accurate comment would be 'partial' multicurrency support :-)

Take care!

MISTERROGERS  Hey Gryphonet,

Thanks for the good words. Small correction though; iRatchet does support multiple currencies. Go to 'Manage Clients', select a client, go to the Invoicing tab, and select the currency you want to use for that client. If you want to view projects/items with the currency set for their client, go into preference/general, and uncheck 'Use default currency code for all clients'.  
(Version 1.65)

MISTERROGERS  Fair enough :-)  
(Version 1.65b6)

MISTERROGERS  To be clear, I'm saying that YOUR feedback was not useful. You did not comment on features/functionality of iRatchet; you simply made an ignorant assumption about zero testing effort because a hot fix was needed. So we're done. I think you're an arrogant idiot, and you don't like my app. That's cool, you don't need to. Many others do, and you have options.

MISTERROGERS  Yea, I shouldn't let it get to me. It's pointless.

MISTERROGERS  JAMESKITTY, 1.59 went out yesterday (2 weeks after the last release). It had a critical bug that slipped by, so I fixed it quickly. Overall, my generally very happy customers really appreciate the fact that I quickly fix issues. If you want to critique my software, please try to be constructive instead just critical. Writing, publishing and maintaining your own software takes a significant amount of effort. The time/energy I put into iRatchet is far and above whatever profit I get out. If you want to send me a link to your software and I'll try and learn from it.

MISTERROGERS  Hey,

This is a language issue. You'll be hard pressed to find an easier app than iRatchet. I can get you successfully working with iRatchet in 3 min. or less; less time then it took to write your critical review :-)

Here are the steps:

1) Create a client (as many as you have).

2) Create a project for a client. In iRatchet (and most invoicing apps), you don't generate invoices for a client, you generate invoices for a project for a client.

3) Add project items (hourly or fixed price) that represent the work done for that project, for that client.

4) To generate an invoice, choose either Preview Invoice (to view the invoice before printing, saving or emailing), Print Invoice (to print directly), or email Invoice (to email directly).

That's it! Look, I'm glad you took the time to check out iRatchet. I just always have a hard time understanding why it's so much easier for people to negatively comment on an application, then to ask a question or two. If you tried to get answers and failed, I would understand, but no one has every sought help for iRatchet and not received it. If you decide to pursue iRatchet, jump over to the forum, and I'd be glad to help.

MISTERROGERS  Hmmm. That has to be the strangest comment I've ever seen :-) To preview and invoice, choose 'Preview Invoice'. To print an invoice, you guessed it, choose 'Print Invoice'. To save an invoice...

Seriously, I know the online help is a bit lean, so if you have any questions about iRatchet, check out the forum at www.prettygoodsoftware.org. If you don't get a quick response there (which would be very strange, as I usually respond within hours), email me at mike@prettygoodsoftware.org.

MIKE ROSS  Hey Rob (and others who are facing this). At some earlier version, iRatchet was switched to a 10 day trial. You can easily reset this 10 day trial period, by deleting the 'iRatchet2.irdb' database located in '~/Library/Application Support/iRatchet' folder. Delete this file, then when you launch iRatchet, it will recreate the database, and reset your 10 day trial period. Or, feel free to purchase a serial and support iRatchet development.  
(Version 1.1.3)

MIKE ROSS  Just you ya know, eSellerate is working just fine now (I know you're anxious to use it). Also, support and comment email addresses are now up on my web site, and I do hope to hear both. Samuel's comments about localization and .mac are correct. Localization limitations will be addressed within a week, and stay tuned for v2 for some unique .mac integration.
