very disappointed this update didn't solve the "slow repair permissions" issue that many, many are experiencing with leopard. using du to repair takes ages, slows the computer down to a crawl, and reports a host of repairs. repeating the process produces the same results, so repairs not done. research on the problems shows that the repairs are inconsequential and can be ignored, but, with so many, how are we supposed to know when a "consequential" one appears in the list. then there's the inconvenience of a computer that is useless for 15-20 minutes every time you want to repair. Note to apple: please fix. |

I love this thing. It has a few glitches - i can't find how to get text to wrap around images, and auto fill for tags doesn't predict upper/lower case as it does for categories. BUT - it is just the thing i wished i had a couple of years back when on hols and trying to get ical to give me a tavelogue. have found it much more writer friendly than the excellent mellel, which is great for turning finished words into a document, but not good for me as a writing app. Journler helps me write! |

I updated from 10.5 to 10.5.1 on my PPC laptop (powerbook alluminium) and on my intel iMac. it worked fine on my iMac, but on my powerbook it causes Mail to always crash on launch. I've posted in apple discussions, and others are also experiencing the problem. beware. |

good, quick support. had a problem with several corrupt files inside iPhoto. SD provides a smooth way to send logs through to support, and the help people responded quickly and effectively. now my bootable back-up is, well, back up. thanks |

looks like this *should* be useful, because S and C are my two favourite browsers, but I can't get it to work. It either crashes immediately on launch or tells me it can't find Chimera preferences folder and fails to function. I have emailed the developer (about two weeks ago) and heard nothing back. |

Camino is again my default browser. This version, for the first time in my experience, is significantly faster than Safari. Not as full featured as firefox, it has the advantage of OSX integration with Services etc. Safaries icons etc are more elegant and waste less space. Another major benefit in safari is that you can adjust the size of the search field. the default (and so far as i can see, only) search field size in camino (and ff) is too small. but for performance (esp when combined with CamiTools) Camino is again my favourite browser. |

First, we should recognise what this app is trying to be. Not a full web design program, but a way to broadcast iLife created stuff on the web, preferably using .Mac. Even given these limited aims, there a serious deficiencies. It is hard to simply view a page in a browser (you have to save the entire site first, then view). If you have made changes to only one page, you still have to save the entire site, and same goes for uploads. Images are stored in image folder corresponding to each page, meaning site-wide images (links, background images) are store multiple times, leading to bloat. Sometimes text is converted to a png image, sometimes not, with no warning. It integrates with iPhoto and iTune nicely, though. |

A nice app for occasional reference/view, but I found that it would deactivate leaving only a static image. Then you needed to relaunch the app and sometimes reconfigure the earth view. Also, it appears to interfer with shutting down/restarting. I have on five or six occasion had to "hard" shut down, reboot and reset the app, which is very tedious. |

i'm grateful for this app because without it i'd have to replace my perfectly good scanner. the thing I like *least* about VS is the way it handles scan/save. Why can't it simple open an "untitled" file in the viewer of choice (GConverter etc) and let you save it from there. I'm forever being asked to overwrite my file from a previous scan, then I have to go back to the File pane, type in a new name and scan all over again. |
