ROBBY.IS.ON  "Please fix this"? Whom are you telling that? You should visit Transmission's forums and ask for support there.

ROBBY.IS.ON  I'm also experiencing this problem. However I don't think this justifies a one-star review (it isn't a review, really).

ROBBY.IS.ON  You shouldn't be surprised to run into problems with so many extensions installed.

The Glims homepage even states:

"Note to Saft users:

Using both Glims and Saft on the same browser could have unexpected results. Instead of spending time inquiring and fixing this, we decided to invest our time into improving Glims so that you can ditch Saft as soon as possible. Please feel most welcome to share you thoughts with us."

I haven't tried Glims myself, so I can't rate it but giving three stars because of such a result is not really fair in my opinion.

ROBBY.IS.ON  The app seems a bit overpriced to me.

I'm sorry I can't test it as I'm on Tiger but it looks like only its aesthetics are superior compared to Sidenote (if anything all!) – which is free.

While not saying this software should be free I reckon a price in the range of 5 to 10 dollars would be more appropriate.

ROBBY.IS.ON  Heavy_Shower, I thought you were quite rude.

Remember, this is not the developer's forum; this is MacUpdate, a site that lists Mac and iPhone software.

Very few developers actually look at the comments here, Berbie is an exemption. And while he/she didn't answer immediately (which you can't expect), you haven't either.

ROBBY.IS.ON  First of all I thought the reviewer was *very* rude. And I think it's pathetic to create two accounts just to bash one app (Hint: everyone, look if the users "Idiotic Apps" or "clever apps" have any written any other reviews). I wouldn't be surprised in the least of "Bobby Delgato" was his third account, by the way (created just today).

Ok, there are more features than one missing:

- batch processing

- some sort of password storage

However, the developer was very friendly and responsive, removing the "annoying temp folder dialogue" in the most recent version from yesterday.

So yeah, that's three real issues in all. I can understand that someone who wants to batch process could get frustrated but still: these are features not everyone needs and I really don't think this justifies a two-star-rating.

It's silly to criticise the creator(s) of the software for the name of their company and even partly base your rating on that.

ROBERT (MACITBETTER)  Robby, both features are on my to-do list and both features will be included in the next version. That people really have a problem with the name I use is funny. It's just the name of a single indie developer, not a corporate mission statement. What will these people expect from companies like Panic or Rogue Amoeba, both highly respected Mac developers? Oh well...

ROBBY.IS.ON  You're wrong, it took two years, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camino#Version_history. And apart from that:

Version numbers don't say much. Even with features that were added here between 1.5 and 1.6 other developers would perhaps have given it "2.0" as the version number.

As far as I'm concerned, Camino has everything I need, it's excellent!

The developers are hard-working.

I think Transmission is one of the most impressive Open Source project in the Mac Software scene.

****.

ROBBY.IS.ON  The widget looks very nice and I really enjoy it when it works.

I'm saying "when it works" because sometimes the lyrics aren't displayed ("loading..." for ages).

Also, 36MB of physical memory for a dashboard widget is too much.
