My mistake - IT IS working with FF3! (it just needed a refresh...) |
|
It's not working with Firefox 3! |
|
Butler handles bookmarks differently to this app - it keeps them separated by browser, whereas this app aggregates them, orders them alphabetically, and opens them in your default browser as opposed to the browser in which the bookmark was set. Yes, Butler can be customised, but this app is far quicker and more useful "out of the box" for bookmark aggregation. And since Butler is soon to become a commercial app and newer versions will not be PPC compatible, AllBookmarks very much has its place. I am a big Butler fan, but AllBookmarks p***es all over it for bookmark aggregation. |
|
Yes, new version works perfectly! Thanks. |
|
Previous versions worked great, latest version doesn't work at all. It won't even load. |
|
I like the sound of this, but no 10.4 support? Shame... |
|
I had another go with this, but frankly it's still disappointing. It's so nearly a great app, but STILL no menubar integration, and it doesn't even support javascript, let only Ruby, ASP etc. Having to position the app window on top of the app you want place a snippet into and drag and drop is clunky and annoying. I look forward to future developments, but for the moment I'll stick with iSnip (it's free and does the job better). All the bells and whistles in the world mean little if the basic functionality is incomplete. |
|
In the end I went with iSnip, which is perfect for my needs (snippets of web development code, ordered by language, which I can drop into whatever editor I'm using with a single click from a dropdown menu in the OSX menu bar). However I've noticed there's an update to Code Collector, so I'm going to check it out again. The two apps you mentioned are really abbreviation expanders and unsuitable for my requirement, but cheers for reply. |
|
Obviously useful, however, the lack control over sentences per paragraph / word-count is a significant drawback. |
|
Extremely useful! Many thanks! |
|
Is there a joint / roach option for those of us whose smoking doesn't involve tobacco? |
|
This app needs: 1) syntax colouring/highlighting 2) soft line-wrap 3) the ability to paste into the top open app 4) toolbar integration With these features it would be a winner, but for now isnip is a better bet for me. I look forward to further development! |
|
Awesome. A brilliant development solution. Very flexible, virtual hosts, and the ability to serve up sites for clients to see and test straight from my laptop. Extremely impressed, straight 5 *****. |
|
"MAMP will not serve sites outside of itself" Incorrect. MAMP Pro does. |
|
This is without doubt the most unstable app I've ever used, which is a shame, as the premis is great. The one time in 20 that it doesn't crash it works well and is very useful, but the other 19 times when it does crash render it unuseable. It doesn't seem to crash at anything specific - I'll try to open a folder of fonts and it'll crash. I keep trying, and, 5 minutes of effort later, maybe it'll open them. Then it'll sit there for another few minutes "updating", before finally, maybe, displaying some fonts. More agonising than pulling one's own teeth, frankly, and in need of some proper development. OS10.4.10 PPC |

Surface??? Pardon me while I have a good laugh at that... I guess I prefer the ergonomics of a proper computer - if I want to sit around a big-ass table covered in smudgy fingerprints and give myself shoulder tension I'll time-travel back to the 70's for a game of Space Invaders. |
|
This app is awesome. I'm a web developer and can't tell you how useful this is to me. Sometimes it's the simplest things... If I could request one feature, it would be syntax colouring for different coding languages. But really, that's just an aesthetic consideration. Keep up the good work. |
|
It looks VERY pretty, but drops its streaming constantly. In direct comparisons with FStream and iTunes (which both functioned perfectly and didn't even rebuffer) it was unlistenable. |
|
This could be a very useful app for me. However there are a few areas I think you could improve: 1. a way to switch refresh to manual 2. a search field, and/or a way to switch off the view of essential background services which take up negligible cpu and don't need to be touched 3. visual indication of which apps are paused (very important!) 4. cpu list ordering doesn't work for me (the list doesn't get ordered) Pls keep up the development, as I say, a very useful app! |
|
I can't get 1.2 to run, have gone back to 1.1. Also, the link to more info on 1.2 on the blog is empty. |
|
It's pretty cool. What I think it could do with is OS menu bar integration and the ability to drop snippets into the uppermost app., then it would be awesome. |
|
The primary prerequisite of any file renaming / renumbering app must be that it renames / renumbers files in the correct (original) sequence. Unfortunately, even though this app has a multitude of well thought out features and capabilities, it fails totally at the first hurdle. Drag your files into the pane for processing, and... they appear (and are therefore processed) out of numerical sequence. I've just resequenced a load of images for a website with this app, and although it did a lovely job of stripping prefixes etc., it completely screwed up the renumbering. Thankfully I hadn't trusted it and had backed up before trying it out. Until this is fixed this app is a non-starter. |
|
$229??? Are you insane? There are websites that produce this information for free! |
|
It would be great if a developer would actually write a mahjong game, instead of all these mahjong-"like" games... OSX is crying out for one. I'd actually pay for it. |
|
This app is totally cool! I love it! |
|
This would be very useful to me if it had the ability to export as swf. |
|
To be honest I'm at a loss with this app. It just doesn't seem to do anything... |
|
Have you found anything for OSX that does all that? I agree they're all very useful features. |
|
@Mike Ratt - what extra features do you think Transmit needs? What things do you miss? |
|
It would be great if a developer would actually make a proper mahjong game for a change, rather than endless versions of solitaire... |
|
Exactly. |
|
I'm sure this does its job well, but why not simply learn how to hand-code proper semantic markup? It's not exactly rocket science... |
|
This is a very cool little app and is now firmly in my toolbox. Thx. |
|
It's a good idea, but... the trouble with feeding from Amazon is the relisting of old albums. You can remove them, but when you do a new search they appear again. Also the colour scheme is gross. It's a good idea though, and these criticisms aren't meant harshly. I look forward to future developments. |
|
I fail to see how the obvious efficiency benefits of a two-pane file management system, and the lack of a dedicated sync function between local and remote website directories in Cyberduck constitute a "mental block"? What I'm USED to is trying out a variety of apps to see which does a job best, and as a busy webmaster, I would say that in this area, Cyberduck falls short and could benefit with some improvement. Perhaps you prefer to drag finder windows around your desktop, perhaps that's what you're USED to, but there are more efficient ways of working. |
|
That's exactly my point. It works great that way, but working that way is fiddly. Having two panes makes synchronisation between local and remote locations really efficient and means you don't have to rearrange your desktop / finder windows. Being able to add both panes' directory locations (both local and remote) as a favourite (as in Transmit) is a huge plus for anyone doing regular site work. i think Cyberduck's a good product, but a second pane would make it a great one. |
|
Dreadful. Photoshop integration has vanished, and Bridge no longer "sees" stored Photoshop actions, so batch processing is now non-functional. Stock Photos doesn't work at all. Bridge initiates an internet connection when you do ANYTHING (eg. click on a local image, open a folder) which slows it to a crawl. CS2 Bridge worked fine, CS3 Bridge is total crap. And to make things even worse it can't be uninstalled without deleting the entire suite. |
|
It works very well BUT it only has one pane - a glaring oversight which makes it far too fiddly for any serious webmaster. I would use this otherwise, but as it is I'll be sticking with Transmit / Fugu. |
|
Excellent. The best thing about it is the way that when you load up a favourite, the local directory is included as well as the remote directory (so no wasting time navigating to your local copy of your site). The sync function works perfectly too, as does SFTP. |
|
Works very well. The one improvement that would make this app perfect for me would be if it could remember a local directory path when I set a remote location as a favourite. So then when I log on to one of my servers, my local directory is also loaded and I'm ready to go. |
|
Brilliant. Very useful for web designers who are into standards compliancy and accessibility (ie. who are into designing properly). Well done. |
|
I don't get it... why would one need to "refresh" a finder window? |
|
What kind of Spanish is this app? Castiliano? South American? |
|
Why not just change the system settings? (that's what they're there for). It won't cost you anything either... |
|
Why has development stopped? Why is there no OSX version??? Come on somebody! |
|
"There was a time where the developer had been in transition as he was relocating..." Really MUSI? And how would you know? The problem with so many of these "reviews" is that one never really knows who's writing them. Personally I would put money on the last two having been written by the developer as a crude attempt to bolster his somewhat tainted image. This is the same company who promote Master Of My Domain, a bug-infested piece of non-functional s/w for which they are still taking money, not offering refunds, backup, or any customer service whatsoever. Tread with caution. |
|
This app is STILL completely non-functional. It is not fit for purpose and does not work in any way, shape or form. How can any "developer" have the audacity to re-list this broken pile of crap and try to obtain payment for it? It's tantamount to fraud. |
|
It's nothing like Picturesque. What planet are you on? |
|
@factoryjoe - I don't get it... what exactly is your point? It sounds like you'd rather pay for a commercial app than get the same functionality for free. And are you quite sure you understand the meaning of "irony"? lol While you're at it, check the reviews for monolingual - they're horrendous. |
|
I have quite a few apps' details stored now, and RapidoSeial has slowed right down. It's using over 130MB RAM and choking my machine for a good few minutes while it boots. Any chance of speeding this app up a bit? |
|
Everything QS can give me Butler gives me quicker and easier, and in a more organised and task-friendly fashion. Makes Quicksilver seem positively archaic. |
|
Ok, now it works great! Way better streaming than itunes! Good work, thanks. |
|
@ Robert - yes, the up/down arrow beginning/end of line thing! I'd totally forgotten to mention that - it's so annoying! Thanks for the tips, will look into those. |
|
After a couple of weeks I'm still loving it. A minor niggle is that with some apps it doesn't extract the version number (although this can be entered manually). Also it can be a bit slow to boot (I presume because it's decrypting the database), but that's not a big deal. I use it constantly. |
|
It doesn't work. Initial setup - it went through the basic connection test ok, but then when I attempted to "connect to server" it hung and required force-quit. After that it wouldn't even start up and required force-quit on every try. So I deleted prefs etc and tried again. Exactly the same non-result. Tried different sites, it couldn't connect to any of them. Reinstalled from scratch - still doesn't connect. No firewall etc. in the way. Absolutely non-functional, exactly the same as the previous version. PPC G4 1.33GHz 1GB RAM OS10.4.10 |
|
It's a widget, so how can you drop a file onto it? As soon as you touch a file on the desktop or in a folder all the widgets vanish. |
|
I've just tested it on a 10-song LP. It can only find 4 of them even though all 10 are easily available on the site (lyricwiki.org). But at least those 4 weren't Billy Jean. This will be a useful app once it works. |
|
This (cr)app has completely destroyed the bookmarking functionality of both Firefox and Safari. The bookmark manager in Safari is no longer accessible, and Firefox has lost the bookmarks toolbar functionality altogether. Anyone prepared to pay money for this needs their head examined. |
|
It's a nice idea, but doesn't work properly. My source was Camino, which I attempted to sync with Firefox, Opera and Safari, by making those 3 browsers' bookmarks identical to Camino. None of the syncs was satisfactory. Firefox and Opera ended up with empty bookmarks toolbars. Safari got the correct bookmarks in the toolbar, but they had been rearranged alphabetically (not what I wanted). When I checked Camino (the source), its bookmarks toolbar had also been rearranged, even though I had not selected it to be touched. Extremely annoying. Now I have some work ahead of me to reorder Safari and Camino and reimport Firefox and Opera bookmarks manually. A total pain in the ass. |
|
I'd be interested to know if you can define which set an image is to be placed in, and if the app receives a list of tags from your flickr account for you to select from prior to uploading? |
|
It's not working. It quits itself every time. |
|
A very useful tool. Works perfectly. |
|
@sjk - "Who's claiming or implying that it is? A "long-running major complaint" (the quote your reply started off responding to) doesn't mean that it's "the main (or only) current complaint." I quite agree, it's neither the main complaint, nor the only one. I didn't imply it was. |
|
I didn't "slag off" anything. I'm sure your tool works well, but it doesn't do anything that isn't available from the tools that come with the system, which are neither inadequate, nor complicated. |
|
OSX already has this built in. It's a standard feature. Why try to reinvent the wheel? |
|
Why would anyone pay for an add-on which does something that is (and has always been) a part of the program anyway? Anyone who buys this needs their head examined. |
|
I should mention that the text rendering in FF3 is an improvement at least. It now looks crisp and solid, similar to Safari. The rendering in FF2 is appalling, especially for italics. |
|
"Josh Aas... is addressing a long-running major complaint... the lack of native Aqua-styled widgets for Web page form controls" This isn't the main (or only) current complaint. FF2 suffers from horrendous memory / RAM usage issues, is bloated, and mind-numbingly slow. Neither are the optimised developer builds any improvement, and FF is now the slowest browser on OSX by a long way. For Web2.0 sites heavy on the javascript and ajax it's just hopeless. Don't get me wrong, I'm a committed FF user and have been since its earliest inception, but the way things are at the moment I've switched to Camino. The difference is like getting off a tractor and into a Ferrari. I've tried FF3, both the official pre-release, and the optimised nightly builds, and it's no different. I really hope the Mozilla team can get their act together on this browser, otherwise Safari is going to wipe the floor with them, and personally I miss the developer's toolbar, StumbleUpon and the del.icio.us extension, but right now, for me anyway, it's unusable. I couldn't give a **** about aqua styling, I just want a standards compliant browser that works and is quick about it. |
|
This is an absolutely stunning app. Don't get it confused with GTD, that's not what this is. Think of it as a multiple-topic cross-referenced diary and notebook, which can include any kind of link or reference (like webpages, other documents, audio files, movie clips), for organising your information and ideas. For pure GTD, there are dedicated apps, such as the brilliant iGTD, which can go hand in hand with this. Once again, this app is stunning, very straightforward, and extremely clever. |
|
This is a great little app, just what I was looking for. Password protected, encrypted database, does the preliminary work for you, brilliant handling of icons. Very slick. |
|
Lousy, unfortunately, and from a visit to the developer's site it appears that no progress has been made for at least half a year. 1. It took multiple attempts, quits and restarts to input any site data. 2. It kept losing site data, text mysteriously vanishing where I had filled it in. 3. It kept quitting itself: "an exception of NilObjectException..." etc. 4. The WhoIs lookup didn't work at all at first. Subsequently only incomplete details were fetched. ("Registrar Unknown"), even though the info is all available at WhoIs. Didn't fetch any expiration dates nor contact details. 5. The WhoIs info sidebar arbitrarily filled with random HTML 6. The data fields aren't lockable, they're always active (not that the data stays for long anyway) 7. 50% of the time site data was lost when the app was quit and restarted. 8. Scanning Sites for any more than one site resulted in a hang and a force quit. This could be a great app with some development. I'm disappointed as it was something I was looking for. |
|
It doesn't work. Yet another app which claims to get rid of application associated files but doesn't do a thorough job. It left preference files behind on all the installations with which I tested it. |
|
Did you make a typo? 40.000 €/HR is the same as 40 €/HR... |
|
I very rarely pay for software, but this one's a no-brainer. An excellent app and in use constantly. |
|
Very cool. It would be nice if it could open up local pages (ie. html pages on my hard-drive) while I'm developing them, without my needing to put them into my Home folder Sites folder and switch on Personal Web Sharing, but that's a small gripe. Looking forward to future developments! |
|
You obviously didn't look very hard then did you... |
|
This app is superb! It's amazing how something so simple can be so jaw-droppingly useful... I freed up 6GB on my 40GB iBook the first time I ran it, on superfluous spuff that I didn't have any idea was eating up that much room. This app is a "must have". |
|
It doesn't work. It hangs, freezes or crashes on every attempt to connect to a server. I tried multiple times on different sites and servers. I restarted my machine, deleted every other ftp client etc., still nothing. Had to force quit on every attempt. PPC G4 iBook OSX 10.4.10 |
|
This app does_not_work. It leaves files and preferences behind. It looks pretty, but that's all. Trashed. |
|
It does what Filevault and the keychain do? Er... But we have... Filevault and the keychain to do those things. So... why_do_we_need_this??? |
|
Is the SMS free, or does the recipient get billed? |
|
Hi, does anyone know if this app works properly with Opera? Thanks. |
|
Display of web pages is very flaky. Some pages are displayed properly, others appear minus their CSS styling. It seems quite arbitrary which do and which don't - even from the same source site. |
|
I've been trying to set this app up to my liking for a cpl of hours now. It's promising, but buggy to the point of being unusable for me. What I liked about this over NetNews is the "boxes" (basically, category tabs). This is a plus for me, as I want totally separate sections for News, People, Web Development, Flickr feeds etc. I ran into a snag whilst trying to change the order of these boxes. They simply won't rearrange without the app hanging and requiring a force-quit, or when I quit and restart the app they come back in the old (wrong) arrangement. Then, when I finally set up all the boxes I needed by adding them in order, some of them were off the screen. This was ok (I thought) since a couple of scroll arrows appeared. But... they don't work, rendering several categories inaccessible. Likewise, if the screen is shrunk, the scroll arrows disappear altogether. This may just be an oversight, but to me it's a massive one, and negated the whole reason I might be tempted to switch from NetNews, which is rock solid and has never hung on me. Even NetNewsLite (free) is better at this point. If this aspect of the app were sorted out, I'd be tempted to switch. |
|
This is a brilliant little App, and extremely useful. I love it. |
|
This app is brilliant, and the developer rightly deserves the praise he's getting. I use it constantly. It's rock solid and does exactly what it says on the tin. |
|
Useless. It crashes and quits on every refresh, and the "help" is in Japanese. Total waste of time. |
|
"If one app can bring down the whole OS so easily, imagine what a virus writer could do.. scary." So go get a PC then, and good luck (you'll need it). |
|
Limewire used to be great a few years ago, but now it's lame. It's not very good at finding files and the network is swamped with fakes. You're better off using a torrent a lot of the time. |
|
In time this will be a great game, but at the moment it's obviously in beta and very clunky. Instructions would be good as I'm not a submariner by trade and it took me a while to figure out what I should be doing. The radar map needs some explanation, and although I found I could zoom out, I was unable to find any way to zoom back in and had to quit. When I finally managed to torpedo a ship, the game crashed and quit. The music is great but there needs to be some way to turn it off. The GUI is brilliant and the whole game has a great feel. I can't wait for future developments. |
