Catalog
Jul 25 2006
*....

NAME  - Appearance: It is good looking. Ugly browsing, with showing the full path. Nothing of view can be changed.

- Features: You cannot really browse. You cannot really import or export, otherwise it crashs.

- Stability: It crashs very often.

- Performance: Very slow as mentioned in the early posts.

- Support: I was a beta tester and a bug reporter, I sent them dozens of mails to help them, none of them was replied, and my catalog was gone and unrevorable. If they would charge the customers for a 2.0 Upgrade it would most certainly be just a joke, because the 2.0 preview does nothing new, but only and as always with those 'Windows'-like strategies, change the appearance a bit. This is aweful. Many people told me the the do not answer mails, and finally they closed the forum section for the two of their only products. Catalog was in my opinion a monopol between two products firstly Catalog secondly FileFinder: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20096 which had the exact same appearance and features as well as coding. They simply sometimes froze the development of each application frequently to raise the moneymaking of each application, now that the support is gone for the whole product line is gone, either they are being accused in the court or they are fusioning MacMagna and Neometricsoftware.

MACMAGNA  There's no link between MacMagna and Neometricsoftware, FileFinder and Catalog. Just try FileFinder and compare speeds, searches, features, etc... Read the reviews for FileFinder on VersionTracker too ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28588 ).

Wallet
Jul 25 2006
**...

NAME  - Appearance: It is indeed a nice product, but it has such an ugly entry view with bad fonts and lower case characters at the beginning.

- Features: Well it has many things one need, but the printing is absolutely unacceptable. The lines in the notes entry field are merged with the others, making it inoperable to read. And you can not enter multiple lines in the notes entry field, besides copying and pasting.

- Stability: Sometimes it simply stops launching, and if you have an encrypted database, then everything is gone, really everything you created is gone and forever, I am an IT engineer and I really tried everything but you cannot recover anything and it still stops from launching.

- Support: None of my crash reports and bug reports were answered, they didn't help me recover my passwords. Lastly they did not say anything at all.

FITZPATL  5/10/2008

I have exactly the same problem. Suddenly Wallet stopped working. It crashes on launch. Absolutely no joy from the developers after three emails including crash logs.

I highly recommend you DO NOT USE this software unless you are okay with losing all your accounts and starting over or are diligent about making cleartext backups.

NAME  This is the best firewall, intrusion detection and handling as well as notification and logging tool for the Mac OS X. It has more features and more flexible features as NetBarrier from Intego software. It is free and based on a strong development behind Snort, it uses rules update feature, database logging, notification system, menubar item for quick access, and this is now very important: A 73 pages documentation with great explanations in every cases written in a non-geeky language. This my indispensable security solution for my internet and network activity.

I can only strongly encourage to use this system, I my self am a developer, and traditional Macintosh user since Mac OS 7.

This tremendous work beats all commercial products with it's community and software development as well as support. It should win the Apple Design Award.

NAME  Thank you so much for this great game!

It is almost like Civilization, really.

I love the network playing. The graphics are very good as well, just try it. Although it is an X11, and there is no doubt that this would be the only way to develop such a tremendous Game.

Thanks a lot.

AND BESIDES: LET X11 TAKE SOME TIME ON LOADING, IT IS INITIALIZING AND THUS TAKES A BIT TIME ON THE FIRST STARTUP.

NAME  Dear author,

Thanks for creating this application, however you urgently need to fix the permissions problem, either by including a shell script like: "diskutil repairPermissions /" to repair the permissions afterwards, like I luckily did. Or by including a resource "Extra" that has the proper permissions. But now, it would screw up your system, so beware!

NAME  This is a great application, creating

such an application must be an

enormous effort.

Here are the best features in my eyes:

- Interactive split view (for run-time and scripts)

- Great syntax colouring

- Drag and drop.

- Automatic saving on run

- Automatic calculation of run-time

- Smart reports on script execution and failure

Wish list:

- Customisable fonts

- Remember window position & size

- Better buttons (consider brushed metal,

with mini textured buttons

- Favourites menu for scripts

This is the best tool to learn

Python, absolutely.

NAME  Thank you very much Unsanity.

I tested it on a PowerBook G4 "Ivory",

with Mac OS X 10.4.6, and I already

tweaked everything so that it runs as

fast as a G5 Double Core.

And this hackie even improved it more,

this is unbelievable, but true,

all my windows open twice as fast.

To the previous authors:

Please do not consider loading of

the contents of a window as part

of the loading time, because this

is not the part of the core image processing,

but depending on the system processes

and of course the dozens of contents.

This does really improve everything.

And I must say, that it does not look

ugly, instead it looks clearer to me.

Thanks!!

PENGUIRL  Your single G4 runs as fast as a dual G5? You should patent the process and sell it, there are lots of G4 users that would love to get that kind of performance. *rolls eyes*

NAME  This is a great native Mac OS X software, because:

- It has an intuitive interface

- Is absolutely stable

- Offers a nice variety of formats

- You can nicely edit all your creations

However some suggestions:

- Offer more export/import formats

- Make palettes more intuitive

(e.g. in one single expandable window)

Thank you very much for

this great and hard work

NAME  This is a very professional software,

for both developer and the home user.

It does not lack in features, and really

does what it says.

I am the developer of USE, and I can

only encourage others to use it, as it

saves a lot of time in the building process.

However I would wish to have simple form of

a droplet, for disk images that only need

a softare licence agreement, and are already

formatted and resized.

NAME  I am very astonished about the

this professional Tetris application.

It has improved a lot since I saw it.

It has every feature needed for everyone.

This application is even for me as a

Non-Tetris-Fan an enormous product.

But the thing that annoys me a lot is,

that you cannot publish the highscore.

And this is due to the fact that scores

are saved into a property list file, where

you could simply edit the values.

I am defenitely sure, that this product,

would be included in Apple's repertoire,

if it only had an Online High Score system,

so that there is more competition feeling.

Thank you very much for Quinn.

NAME  I am using it constantly.

I have only got a selection of

indispensable applications on

my hard drive, and this is one

of the best of them.

After searching 2 years, for

alternatives even free ones

with Java, I got the money

to finally decide for this

great software solution.

In todays world flexibility

and economic elegance are

the most important and this

is reached by Panic software.

As the web constantly increases

I can only recommend those

of you that are swimming with

the stream to buy this extraordinary

application.

As my rating suggests:

Features: 5 stars

Ease of use: 5 stars

Value: 5 stars

Stability: 5 stars

As I am a developer my self

of the software USE:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19885

I got a slight idea of how much

work stood behind.

So, thank you very much indeed !

NAME  Thank you so much Simon.

This is the best Tetris application

I found until now.

I am a developer as well, and

I think this should be implemented

in Apple's applications, it is simply

wonderful, it is great.

I mean you won't have always the

time to play chess or may not

always have the concentration too.

I mean it has more features than

Apple's own (borrowed) Chess game.

- Great Apple-like design

- Great Apple-like elegance & economy

- Great Game implementation

- Great Features

However it would be even better, if

the developer could make customization

of pieces and backgrounds even easier

and long staying without a folder.

Thus for me it is indispensable.

Thank you very much again.

NAME  Thank you very much for this

great product. In my opinion this

should really win an Apple Design

or Eddy award.

I am a developer myself, and

it relies in my Utilties folder because

it is indispensible.

You get to know the older Macs

and PowerBooks, if there is something

on Ebay or else you can look up

immediately. And if you want to buy

some new hardware you only need

to look up in MacTracker.

NAME  Thank you very much Kent.

This is really a great product.

Hopefully Apple will integrate every

feature soon.

This is a very nice and responsive

developer !!!

After sending an email, he replied

immediately, and implemented the features.

Please keep up the work and try to

implement as much as possible.

REMEMBER APPLE WILL LISTEN, YOU MIGHT

CREATE A REAL COPYRIGHT ; )
