TOMANDERSEN  A note on QuickLook.

We decided not to use it - since Quicklook uses only one window, and you can have multiple Deep windows open, all with different images selected. Also the quicklook window goes away when you select out of the application. There is a full screen view.  
(Version 1.1)

TOMANDERSEN  I have looked at the memory usage - almost all of it is from a part that we are using called IKImageBrowser - which is an Apple thing. The memory that it uses seems to be of the cache variety - which means if your system should use a lot of memory - Fresh will use less. Still it would be nice to lower this number. In other words - yes its using more than it might seem necc - but most of that should be squeezed back for you if your computer starts to run low on memory. We are looking at rewriting this with our own code, but it would be more work. --Tom

TOMANDERSEN  What issues do you have with Deep?

(Version 1.0)

TOMANDERSEN  One more thing - Yep looks for PDFs only in the tracking locations that you set in the prefs - is it possible that your tracking locations are set so that most of your PDFs are not included? --Tom  
(Version 1.8)

TOMANDERSEN  We developed Yep to track roughly that many PDFs. I have personally tried it with about 30k PDFs. Remember that Yep does not 'import' anything. It just keeps track of the PDF that are on your computer.

You might also want to try Leap out. It will track more files than Yep, and you can make it so that it only looks at PDFs, if you want.

Please contact support with problems like this. We can supply individual support. ironicsupport@gmail.com

TOMANDERSEN  Tom here - one of the developers. The feedback that Ronald John has left simply does not happen for the almost everyone. Although no software is without bugs, we would not leave a problem like this unfixed. The slowness that he is encountering is due to a log file being written to at 'full blast' by Leap or possibly the spotlight engine. If anyone has a similar problem, please contact us at ironicsupport@gmail.com, as we can't seem to replicate this problem here.

TOMANDERSEN  This allows me to rock out on the go on my macbook. I had a few problems, but once I updated to 1.1 ona a fresh install, it worked.   
(Version 1.2)

TOMANDERSEN  We have upped the requirements to a G5. It also runs better and faster the more you use it, especially on a Tiger machine. Leopard runs Leap faster than Tiger. There will be some performance improvements as we go to 1.x. We want to put Leap up against the Finder, Bridge, iView multimedia and win.

TOMANDERSEN  Hi,

It is likely that you have a corrupt PDF on your system. Usually Yep can point that out for you, when you restart it after a crash.

You might want to try Leap, and pick PDF documents, and see if that works better for you. Perhaps you can find the corrupt PDF.

Hope this helps,

--Tom

TOMANDERSEN  Tom, The developer here.

The thumbnails of the PDFs are stored in the same volume as the PDFs themselves, so if you can see the thumbnails, you can also see the PDFs. This is not really a security issue any more than the fact that all of your email is also stored in your home account, etc. For instance Safari has a cache of all internet sites that you have recently visited in that same folder.

If anyone has more questions on this, please contact us via the contact page on our web site.

TOMANDERSEN  Thanks for the feedback on price. We are looking at the 'pro' market with Leap. Leap is not a 'Finder on steroids', it is more a different way to look at files. We are beta testing everything now, including the price. If you are curious, please check it out regardless of price. We will be giving away some copies to our 'best' beta testers.

TOMANDERSEN  Anyone who owns a copy of Yep gets Leap for free until we bring out Leap 1.0. Just use your Yep serial number. --Tom  
(Version 1.0b5)

TOMANDERSEN  Leap stores the tags in a database file. We have found Spotlight comments to not scale well, and are fragile - they can be lost during hard drive copies, etc. File attributes are much the same. We are planning for 1.1 to support Spotlight comments as a way to get tags in and out of Leap. Also, you can export all your tags as an html table now.  
(Version 1.0b4)

TOMANDERSEN  We are indeed working on a product that will track web archives (and html and word docs, etc - anything). Look for a beta in a few weeks. Note that current owners and buyers of Yep will also get a copy of our 'new thing'.  
(Version 1.6.5)

TOMANDERSEN  We have tried to duplicate the bug, but are unable to here. Please provide more details to us so we can resolve the issue.

1.5.2 includes a new command to import metadata from 1.2 or 1.5 databases.
