When we tested this latest version with some of those users, they found that it did correct their problem. (Version 3.0b192773) | |

Adobe Flash Player | Feb 26 2009 |
ALEXIUSCA Everyone in flash should install this: http://github.com/rentzsch/clicktoflash/tree/master FlashBlock for Safari! Yay! The so called 'company related biases' are just as irrelevant as your supportive comments. The facts are that RAM and CPU surge with Flash, and tests show the increase is exponentially higher on the mac than it is on windows. This would indicate that the Mac version is sub-optimal at best, but is more likely quite poorly written after so many years on the platform. (Version 10.0.22.87) | |

ALEXIUSCA Love it -- Together is just a few updates away from replacing Yojimbo for me once and for all. However, I find the interface in general a bit sluggish, on my MBP window resizing is quite painful. Also, I love how Yojimbo let's you tag super easily. Together doesn't do quite as smooth a job with keyboard navigation. Suggestions? (Version 2.2.2) | |

GCOGHILL I too found the interface sluggish until I turned off the icon previews in the View Options palette. Now it's super fast. The developer should consider either fixing the speed with icon previews, or turn it off by default. I almost gave up on this app after importing a bunch of text files, the speed was so slow. (Version 2.2.2) | |

Together | Dec 16 2008 |
JAZZADDICT Even with that fix it still runs pretty slow on my dual 2.0 g5 compared to other apps. The interface crawls sometimes. Probably runs a lot quicker on intel systems. My g5 doesn't feel as quick as it used too. It doesn't handle spotlight as quick as intel systems and Together relies on that a lot. Like when clicking through tags. A bit sluggish. Oh well. Hopefully I'll get a macbook soon. peace. (Version 2.2.3) | |
