CASSIOTONES  Very good, clean and light. And also intuitive.

The only think I wish I could have control of would be the mouse scroll. It has this fancy feature that makes the page keep scrolling a bit after you scroll over it with the mouse. I wish I could turn it off, I like precision when using the scroll.

Besides that, all good, already made my donation :D

CASSIOTONES  Just dowloaded it and enjoying it. Seems a good alternative to the app I was using since it has the option to start with iTunes, instead of with my mac. I'll try for a week and (if all goes right) donate, very useful ;)

CASSIOTONES  I hated it. Instead of searching in the background and displaying its own results, it opened about 10 different safari tabs with lots of search engines. I can do that myself! Reminded me the old windows days with pop-ups flooding up your screen...

****.

CASSIOTONES  I love PausenClown.

Its small, its fast, its light weight, its simple, has a cool look, everything you would expect from a mac software.

It is very good to make small notes. I use it to save some info that I dont know where to save, like things I want to buy, to do, to search on the web, ideias, funny things, etc.

I miss a [command + ,] preferences, maybe a opacity control (although I like the default very much). But again, I love its simplicity too.

For the developer, a few problems to check. Instability. It crashed a couple of times, specially when openinng it. The search (why not [command F]?) cant find properly and leaves the page blank unless you click on the x inside the search box. Save, or auto-save, only works if you move along the left items bar. I mean, if you create a group called songs, inside it you put "song a" and quit the program, it wont save the text "song a". Maybe a [do you want to save] box before quiting would solve the problem.

Hope I could help :D

Bye

CASSIOTONES  Oh, I forgot to say that, although being the best quality subtitles I've seen so far, I dont know why but they seem to be in a strange format. I tried to resize and etc but most of the times dialogue lines would not display one above the other but beside the other, which didnt occured in VLC and QT.

CASSIOTONES  I like VLC, but not its interface. Chroma has a cool look, very much like other mac apps. i liked the command t function for stabilize, dont know if it really works though since I'm always on a stable surface. The subtitles are really beautiful.

I just wish it was more customizable and had more commands like VLC. I had problems using DVD, it kept asking me to change my DVD region when it was playing normally with DVD Player...

CASSIOTONES  Roger! I'll try it some more times and report any problem that may come to arise ;) The only problem is that I hate YouTube and dont use it too much lol, but I'll do my best, it is much more funnier now with this widget.

By the way, I tried the "donwload to itunes" feature and it seems to be working ok! I mean, I clicked "later" on donnation, got some failure notification from Finder (?!) then, after a few minutes (I had completely forgot the download by the time) I heard a chime, checked on my stuff to see what it was and found out it was a nem movie on my iTunes libray.

That's it :D Good luck

****.

CASSIOTONES  Great ideia. I dont know why YouTube is so popular, the site is terribly ugly just like the video quality of its movies. I hate using it. But this little widget gave an elegant look to YouTube and I loved it :D

The are some minor bugs though. After going fullscreen I couldnt go back to normal mode with the same shortcut. Eventually it can back to normal, but the widget moved to another part of my screen and the "video scrolling" kind of got connected to my mouse, follwing whereve it went and making it impossible to watch the movie. I serached for another movie and it worked fine (although the scroll didnt come back to normal)

Great widget, anyway.

ESQWUARED  Hey cassiotones, I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to get some more feedback directly from you, because a few of the bugs you mentioned I've specifically tested against and haven't seen myself.

In particular, command-F and esc should both exit fullscreen mode (and the widget should definitely not move around the screen). Additionally, I've seen the scrubbing problem only once, and couldn't repeat it. Let me know if these problems recur.

Thanks!

CASSIOTONES  Amazing!

The idea is very good indeed! I tried it with some news (some of the millions of RSS feeds I never read) in different languages and it really speeds up your reading. I just tried a few texts and already passed the 400 wpm line :D

My only suggestion would be to set the left and right keyboard keys to go from one word to another, in case you lose a word and decide to pause and go back to check it, that would speed up the process even more.

Fantastic app, great job.

GENGIS  Cassiotones, thank you very much for the review! It is the right occasion for me to specify a couple of things:

- The basic idea of display the words one by one at high speed is not mine, other software exists based on this principle.

- Because of the way the program works, the actual wpm rate is a little lower than the wpm reported by the program. I plan to fix this in the next versions.

Thanks to everyone who already sent me his comments!

CASSIOTONES  I think there is something wrong, maybe a bug, it's not working for me :(

When I press "alt  0" the script icon blinks but nothing happens. I manage to make it work by clicking on "script folder" openning the script with the mouse and the taking the snapshot. But I think that's not the way it is supposed to work, right? But so far it looks like a promising app :)

i'm using FCP ( since 1999 ), Motion Photoshoop, Gimp, Soundtrack etceteras, i'm not scare using your program!!!!

I tried everything I could do and it is not working as it should do !!!

No POP UP menu, nada de nada better NOTHING !!!!!

this is the only way to make it is working:

manually , open the script folder and then click the DVD Shot.scpt, after that click the green arrow/button, the dvd stop > a Pop Up menu open and ask where to save the file... save it and automatically the dvd start playing again.

I do not think this is the way your program, a promising one, should work but this is the way is working in my computer .

CHARTSMALM  Adding my ditto. None of the possible combos of command-option-number work. I have the DVD player version as listed by Mr Gecko. The only way that I could get the destination path request window to appear was by opening the script and then clicking the Run button. I had to have the DVD paused at the desired location, because the process took far longer than the writer planned hot key stimulator.

I am not an Apple script programmer, so my question/comment may be entirely unfounded. I cannot see anyplace in the code that says "do this when key-key-key is pressed" The whole, simple problem that all of us experienced was NO TRIGGER.

CASSIOTONES  I thought it was something like a QuickSilver for music, like pressing a hot key, typing a few letters and getting the song. Well, maybe I got it wrong, but for what I can see it is not much different then opening iTunes and clicking the green button to get its mini version. Of course there is the search option in MiTunes, but I also preffer maximizing iTunes and using its search since I dont need to specify "artist" or "title" there, I just type what comes to mind first and get what I want.

IANWEIR  If you want a quicksilver for itunes, you can use quicksilver.

Just set up a custom trigger to whatever key combo you want (I use option+space), and for the 'Item' select 'iTunes', hit /, and then select 'Music Library'.

For the 'Action' enter 'Search Contents'.

Then go to quicksilver preferences>actions>iTunes Music and make sure that whatever you want to do with the songs selected by this trigger is at the top.

Personally I have 'Play next in Party Shuffle' first.

Then you just hit your key combo, type a bit of the song title and hit enter.

(note that you cannot search artists/albums with this method, but you could swap out 'Music Library' for 'Browse Artists', 'Browse Albums', et cetera to get this behavior)

HENDO  Ok, well, thats all good, but I am questioning why you gave it's value 1 star...value means how good it is compared to how much it costs. Since it is free and a quality piece of software (whether you think so or not) be more mature about your ratings. You have it bad feature ratings because it wasn't what you wanted. It's not like they don't work. If you don't like it, don't use it.

The app icon is cute and the general design of it is clean and beautiful. I just dont like that opening yellow elipse with the buttons "register" and "try", reminds me of windows apps, but I think that is supposed to annoy and will be gone at the final version.
