Hear

Oct 3 2008

GORDON BELL Hear does not "require a restart every time"--

We are seeing a few isolated cases, where, after some amount of time (usually a few weeks or so), that Hear requires a restart. We are looking into the cause of this and once determined, can look for a bug fix for that. Its not occurring for most customers and therefore it makes it trickier to track down and reproduce.

Cheers,

Gordon from Prosoft

Schnippselchen Pro	Sep 29 2008	APFELZ I am no PHP Expert - I tried to cover most Languages with the default Syntax and that works also for my PHP Files - but you can write your own Definitions into a .plist file (In the MAinBundle) that will fit your needs and of corse this small tool is no replacement for TextMate etc. its just to quick access needed Snippets and drop them into Xcode or TextMate� und ein Programm, in dem eh nur englische "Fetzen" rumfliegen muss ja nicht unbedingt der deutschen Sprache m�chtig sein :-) (Version 2.0.1)		0

MAC OS X 4EVER I hate companies that pull that crap on their licensed users.

If I buy a new Mac, why should I have to re-buy all of my registered software?

Try Drop-DMG.

I have owned it for quite a while.

It's a good program.

I was just looking at this one to see what it did differently.

I will avoid it after seeing what they did to you.

Of course, there are many good - but sometimes you just need something simple - very simple� That was the goal - as simple and a clean as possible app and a app thats able to run from a thumb drive - nothing more� Maybe the analog diary from SYZZYGY does the cooking or goes to work for him - my analog diary is a simple book with blank sheets I can always have with me� �� Maybe I really should think about to build in an encryption :-) (Version 1.2)		0

meinKOPP	Nov 26 2007	APFELZ what the f� is wrong with this world? I am not responsible for such an egocentric (and yes thats retarded!) view of the world! this is a quote of an other (northern american) guy with another view of the world: "My Struggle" (Hitler's biography) v. "My Head" (program name). I think people should boycott pedometers, because they have the same first few letters as pedophiles. To make an example: The USA and of course in particular the name George stands for over 1 Million killed People in the Iraq - So to follow your logic all man with the Name George have to change their name???? All Americans have to migrate to another Land??? And you really call me a twit, you really ask me how old I am and want to tell me that I need decent??? Maybe you tried to tell me that I am to old for this kindergarten? (Version 3.1.1)		+1

LEESA ok, first of all, i'm not the one who called you a twit. i never called you names. i just tried to point out that your inability to understand why the name upset people was bad business and that calling people retarded was immature.

secondly, a lot of americans are NOT ok with george any more than the were with hitler. and who knows, maybe 50 years from now the name george will have such negative connotations here that it will be about as popular a name as adolf in the us (no one uses that name here).

I'm sure that in the countries where Bush is thought to be responsible for killing so many of their people his name is spat on.

I don't think having negative associations with the phase MeinKampf is egocentric, he wiped out whole branches of people's families. Mine, in fact. What imigration has to do with it, I don't know. Your true colors finally showing?

I said specifically that I didn't think you'd used the name intentionally. But after hearing you responses and attitude, I'm not so sure.

Looking at your other posts for your other software I notice you seem to have a habit of calling people names and getting into arguments with your users. So based solely on that I'd never use your software. You don't seem like a very nice person.

APFELZ Does the Name sounds "strange" for non-German speaking People?

it seem so - but one look in the description or in the comments and everything is said - isnt it?

to come again and again with the same wrong - totally wrong point seems not opened minded - not at all - to me

and if the descission to sell less (or even none) of this app than to support the view from some people - makes me an un-nice (I am not shure if this word excists) person - ok - I rather sell not a single app than to support this "retarded" view and I never start with giving names - but after a while and after I am called twit and stupid - it is enough - isnt it?

but to tell you - your descission not to use one of my apps is very ok - I would have done the same if I though that the developer is an asshole�

thats like not needing money from every person :-)

LEESA i do like the new icon you've done for the app. now that it doesn't look like a diary it makes the association with that phrase less likely.

i agree with you that "My Head" is an appropriate name for your app, it fits the product well. Have you ever considered maybe calling the English localization MyHead, since you translated the interface anyway?

either way, good luck with your product. any offense was unintentional.

meinKOPP	Nov 24 2007	APFELZ well -there is more in life than selling to more apps because of changing a great name to better fit into the very small and retarded world view of some people� much more :-) (Version 3.1.1)		0

LEESA How old are you anyway? Calling people who don't agree with your bad choices and insensitivity "retarded" makes you sound like a child.

Yes, there IS more to life than software or selling things- acting like a decent person is a good place to start.

MUSUBANA Well, searching does not work on my computer.

Keeping the welcome entry (which contains the words �This is a portable application.�), a search for the word �this� returns just the same as a search for the word �alien�: nothing. The screen even stays the same. (No �Nothing was found� message.)

The search field menu also has the custom of jumping back to �✓Entry� after I have searched once for �✓Content�.

P�aps it works fine on Leopard. I still use Tiger.

ISAW I have done some more tests with Tagebuch. I find that if I do a search on Content, Tagebuch finds nothing and will not be able to make any other searches, either on Entry or Tag.

I have to quit Tagebuch and re-launch. If my searches are only on Entry or Tags then Tagebuch will find the appropriate Entries. But should I search at any time on Content, I will need to quit Tagbuch to make any more successful searches with Entry or Tag.

If my first search in Tagebuch is a Content search, Tagebuch will appear not to be able to do any searches. It seems best to avoid the Content search at the current time.

I have recorded a 3 minute video showing this problem and have uploaded it here:
