RAGE MapDesign
Jun 6 2009

RAPIDLY WOVEN  This is just a very basic image mapping editor. All mapping gets saved as rectangles only so it's potential is VERY limited. That's a shame because this could have been a fantastic tool for websites. As it stands it offers very little beyond placing a clickable box on parts of an image... and even then the box has a bad tendency of not even covering the area you selected.

I give this app a 1.75 out of 5 stars.

PLEVINE  MapDesign actually does more than just places a rectangle over parts of an image.

You can create two kinds of image maps. A regular image map and an effects based image map.

A regular image map lets you use rectangles, circles and polygons.

An effects based image map lets you add mouse over and mouse down effects to certain parts of an image without using FLASH or other heavy media.

See the examples we have created on our website;

RAPIDLY WOVEN  I've tried both the cmd+Q and quitting through the preference panel. Neither one actually quit the app as a quick squeeze of the mighty mouse and the app pops up. If this app was actually quit, this would not happen... the squeeze would result in nothing.

KARSTEN@BRIKSOFTWARE.COM  I understand, it really seems that CuteClips doesn't quit. However, the squeeze action is set so that it launches CuteClips. If CuteClips is already running and you squeeze, this will only activate CuteClips as if you would have pressed the hotkey.

You can open Activity Manager and see that quitting CuteClips actually quits it. You should also see that the menu item disappears. It should be back when you squeeze.

Kind Regards

CuteClips

RAPIDLY WOVEN  I rate this app 1 out of 5 stars.

I've found that the app easily stalls while trying to remove clips. Additionally the app has the overwhelming tendency to close itself requiring the user to either place the app on the dock, to use the mighty mouse squeeze shortcut, or to use the keys shortcut. Next I found that the overall UI (user interface) is next to none which leaves the user guessing on how to use it. Finally, quitting this app doesn't really quit it and actually the app keeps running unless you uninstall or turn your Mac off.

I give this app a big thumbs down due to the issues mentioned. To the developer, you need to go back to the drawing board on this and rebuild and/or greatly improve this app.

the idea of CuteClips is that it doesn't stay in your way, thus the window always hides itself once you selected a clip that you want to paste. CuteClips still runs, as you can still see it in the menu bar.

The user interface is keept very simple in order to just provide the clips that were on the clipboard and nothing else. there's not much to guess on how to use it. You activate CuteClips and select a clip that you want to paste...there's nothing else you need to do.

If you want to quit CuteClips you can do so by activating it and hit cmd-q. As CuteClips is a background application you don't have a menu bar where you can select quit. There's also the option to quit CuteClips from the preferences window.

However, i already plan to integrate the current features like shortcuts and sticky clips easier in the UI so that the gear menu of each clip is not needed anymore. It just needs some time to implement them.

RAPIDLY WOVEN  This is indeed pretty crappy to not include a legit download for this app. Offering a download that you then have to burn onto a dvd in order to even install this app is b.s. and misrepresentative of your promo.

MISHA  You don't *need* to burn the DVD. You can always just mount it and run the installer. But in order to get maximum utility out of TechTool Pro, you need to run it off a bootable drive that's not your main hard drive (like all utilities of this kind).
