EAN  Works, but the GUI is clunky and it's missing some features (which I suspect are in the works). You can trigger playback from the keyboard, which is great, though one must resort to the mouse when quickly trying something out in different voices. Command keys would be nice here. The Apple Speech Synth has always had a hook for controlling the "speaking" speed. Is that gone? Do we now have CoreSpeech? Haven't been keeping up lately...

Aside from the Features and Ease of Use issues, Value and Stability were both great.  
(Version 6.1)

EAN  Vectorworks does cost twenty to forty times as much...  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Crashed immediately upon attempting to insert a number. Very limited instrument choices. Needs work: more layout options, color, on and on.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  An update?! Whoa.

Registration issues appear to be fixed.

Had to trash my old preferences to get everything working.

Super.  
(Version 9.0.2)

EAN  What does this application do that I can't do with a web browser?  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Simply awesome. Extremely useful. Works like a charm, but needs the ability to exclude applications and delete from the list. There are only a few applications that I need to launch in different languages, and I'd like the ability to not have every app listed by default.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Nice start! Lots of potential.

I like that it is a Status Bar item.

Mouse speed needs scaling so slow is slower and fast is faster.

Need more choices for right button: double-click (current), right-click and click-lock.

Crashed when closing Preferences window with the Space Navigator.  
(Version 0.1)

EAN  OMG, this is great. Installs all the dependencies and everything. Utterly painless. I would use this even if I did have a brain.  
(Version 1.6.2)

EAN  Wow. Brilliant. The first time it automatically downloaded some files after connecting a camera, my jaw dropped seeing the beauty and simplicity of the indicator in the menu bar. I have nothing specific to add to the earlier reviews, but I'll second the need for a donate button/link.  
(Version 1.0.1)

EAN  Yay! Thanks for fixing the download and thanks for this great tool.  
(Version 2.3)

EAN  Version 2.3 download link is broken now, June 25 2009 19:00 GMT.  
(Version 2.3)

EAN  5.4.2 working great here. Much faster communication with Airport.

OS X 10.5.7, Mac Pro quad-core 2.66 GHz, 10 GB RAM  
(Version 5.4.2)

EAN  It's weird how difficult it is to download version 0.3. First, the MacUdate download link gets hijacked then, if you do get to the developer's website, the link points to an older version.

Here is a direct link to the latest version: http://novastormsoftware.isgreat.org/data/apps/aquaprompt/aquaprompt_0_3.zip

Then, the ZIP archive has a modification date of 12/31/03 so, if you're wondering where it ended up...

I hope there is more attention to detail in the application but, hey, it's free.  
(Version 0.3)

EAN  Tested version 8.0.608 (newer than what is listed here) with a single server and several clients. Can't import scripts from former versions (v6). Can't connect to any clients--before or after updating client software. Forget about updating clients from the server. Had to downgrade the client machines I tested as v6 displayed some weirdness with the newer clients. Since I couldn't actually connect to clients, I can't review script creation or execution. All in all, it feels like an early beta. Despite the problems with v6, it's definitely not worth upgrading at this point. Besides, the upgrade to v8 with 20 clients is nearly what I paid for v6 with 10 clients some years ago. The multi-threaded engine could make it worth the price, but I am unable to test it if I can't actually connect to clients...  
(Version 8.0.594)

EAN  "The instructions themselves assume too much, like too much knowledge, I hate the assumption that you are in the know or you know nothng and because of that I find this a kind of "arrogant" piece of software..."

Yikes! I find this a kind of "imbecilic" review. Just because you don't get it doesn't make the software rate one star. [I don't know how to operate a hammer, therefor all hammers suck.]

WHD is intended for use by computer tech people--precisely those who can figure out how to use it. Personally, I rather like it.  
(Version 9.1.22)

EAN  Majordomo? Really?  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  If your PPC can run OS X, then feel free to install whatever version of Java you like!  
(Version Update 3)

EAN  Excellent MaxMSP standalone app. Very responsive tuner. Nice work.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Proof that porting an application to the Mac does not make it a Mac application.  
(Version 0.12)

EAN  This could be great. Waitin' on a Grand Central number.  
(Version 1.1)

EAN  Fairly handy. Should add capacitance values in series and parallel since the bulk of the coding is already done in the resistance values in series and parallel.  
(Version 2.0b3)

EAN  Haven't tried this yet, but I usually keep Dashboard entirely off on my audio workstations. Any chance of a stand-alone app?  
(Version 2.0)

EAN  AudioCalc and SoundCalc are taken. I actually don't have a problem with the current name, but what about AudioNumerator?  
(Version 2.0)

EAN  Completely lame.  
(Version 1.3)

EAN  Great, more adware. If I could strap a marketer to the hood of my car before installing this on a computer, I might consider using it.  
(Version 1.3.2)

EAN  It's snappy!  
(Version 3.2)

EAN  A Godsend, thank you. Needs the ability to send MTC to a virtual output though.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Version 0.7.7.52 appears to have been pulled from distribution by the developer--for the time being anyway. Downloading directly from the developer's website yield version 0.7.7.50 which is a damn fine piece of software as it is.  
(Version 0.7.7.52)

EAN  Great! In Leopard one can only move login items to the end of the list, which can make it possible to reorder things with a lot of judicious dragging, but this is way better. I do wish that it also controlled the "Hide" feature.

IIRC, the "simultaneous" launching of login items ended wlth Tiger.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  A ginormous advertising vehicle. Maybe it works, but I couldn't bear to look at it long enough to find out.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Really good stuff. So many useful tools. Among them truly amazing resolution gain, HDR and, my favorite, moving object removal.

The documentation is only online, which bugs me for some reason.  
(Version 2.81)

EAN  Never dated a medium--do they even date the living?  
(Version 1.8.3)

EAN  AIR only reports an app as unsigned if, in fact, it is unsigned. Security certificates are supported, so judge the app on the authors' compliance.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Somehow, I feel much better just knowing that there is, in fact, a weasel.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Amazing. Will completely hose your current workflow--in all the right ways. Simple to learn and generates clean code from a layout image. It's great.  
(Version 1.5)

EAN  Works great. The only problem I had was with the documentation stating that the background color should be #BFBFBF. After some trial and error, I ended up with #CACACA. That may spell CACA, but it works for me.  
(Version 1.0.1)

EAN  Thank you, I was wondering why my boot image backgrounds were darker that the surrounding screen.  
(Version 1.0.1)

EAN  Great idea, but needs more work. Version 1.1.4 seems to fix the crash when exporting problem, so it is now possible to test. Better filtering would be really nice, especially the option to scan only the Applications folder or other, defined directories. Also, there is no way to show applications after the "Hide" button has been clicked (except to trash the prefs). It would be great if a document could be saved and reloaded, and it would be nice to have more control over the HTML output, though this can always be done later...

While it's not perfect, I think I can already put it to use. I am looking forward to future versions.  
(Version 1.1.4)

EAN  I have a great use for this program: generate an HTML document of apps installed on workstations with short descriptions for students--so they know what tools are available to them.  
(Version 1.1.4)

EAN  Not freeware. Quits after five minutes and times out entirely at the end of June '08.  
(Version 1.0b1)

EAN  Hmmm, might be cool, but no cross-platform development tools are available. Oops.  
(Version 1.0.21115)

EAN  Started out on the Mac platform decades ago. It was great then, but is now hopelessly obsolete and suffering in a PC-developer environment.

While the enterprise-class versions of Retrospect are still worth a look, for a single Mac (all the Express version can manage) get the free Carbon Copy Cloner or the worth-every-penny Super Duper! which is a little bit faster.  
(Version 6.1.138)

EAN  The description is wonderful, but the software needs some work. My biggest beef is that the shortest grains are way too long. A full second is just forever. It would also be great to have all the controls in a single panel rather than spreading them across three, mutually exclusive panels. Sliders or knobs would make setting variables easier too. A bit pricey for what is, at this point, a sound toy.  
(Version 1.0b)

EAN  A crosshair would be nice--now one can only use the edges of the window. Also, keyboard control, with the arrow keys, is strangely missing.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Basic features work well. Wish one needn't return to the mouse to stop recording a cue sequence. Would love to see cue sequence playback with visual/audio (options!) display. Cue time quantization and/or cue time editing (individual and rolling edits) would be sublime. I think this could be a really handy tool to quickly check cue timing before actually writing the cues. Kind of a timing note pad.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Very handy!  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  I, too, use SuperDuper! for my backups because of it's speed, but I routinely recommend CCC to students because of their limited beer, er, food budgets. CCC actually makes cleaner backups than SD, but it is slower. Also, the new versioning is very cool, but will soon be rendered obsolete by Leopard's Time Machine anyway.  
(Version 3.0.1)

EAN  Wow, can't wait to try this! If it does half of what it claims, my entire workflow has just been bollocksed. And that's a good thing. Plus, it's free--what's left for SmartCSS Pro to do? Lists, I suppose...  
(Version 1.2)

EAN  Most of the libraries included are readily available a la carte. Is the advantage here that these are UB packages? If so, why not offer the individual packages back at the Sourceforge/Raw Meat/Whatever project pages rather than bundle them all together? I imagine most folks, like myself, only need about eight of the 100--or how ever many you've included.  
(Version 2007r4)

EAN  Did you make a donation to support the development of this FREEWARE?

You could always buy a commercial product--that is, if think they're any better.  
(Version 3.0.1)

EAN  Wow. And free. A very nice diff tool. I only wish I could switch the files back and forth between the source and edit panels iin edit mode with out having to reload the files or open another window or anything. It's picky, but the toolbar icons two diff-erent states should be more readily noticable. More contrast in the icon, or something.  
(Version 3.1)

EAN  Your loss. This is best of breed.  
(Version 1.7.1)

EAN  Fantastic. Does its job quickly and Mail is now noticeably faster launching and navigating around mailboxes. A progress bar and prettier dialogs would be nice, but the 'architectural' design, complete with launchd support, is superb.  
(Version 0.9)

EAN  Nice GUI hack. No problems yet, and very useful. I just wish I could hide the dock in the Finder. It would be nice if the preferences of what to hide were specific to each application instead of global. I found it slightly awkward to be setting global values in a dialog box for a displayed list of things. Could just be me though.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Works incredibly well on AIFFs. Needs a couple of usability tweaks: a cancel or abort button and the ability to drop files (at least AIFFs) on the application for compression. With those fixes, and a little speed increase, I'd rate this five stars in all categories. For now, it "only" gets top honors in value and stability.  
(Version 3.6)

EAN  Brilliant, as usual. Download it, try it, love it, donate a few bucks.

The are only a few possible features left to implement. I'd like more control over the appearance of the Moon Window. By appearance I mean both how it looks and how it gets there.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  A great idea. Wish it could be "sticky" between restarts or a startup item that would launch, set the key lights to some predetermined level, then quit. Still, it's so handy, I'll be using it as is.  
(Version 0.2)

EAN  Independence from Growl and low CPU usage make this the best of the breed. The notification window don't always come to the front though. Repeatedly flashing the screen in addition to an alert dialog would be cool. For the nattering nabobs, sometimes laptops are installed in racks or other settings in which the power connector is not readily visible.  
(Version 1.0)

EAN  Pretty sweet. And fast. I _really_ like that it doesn't re-render the entire damn site after every little change. Would like to drop folders on the application for zero-click processing. Thanks.  
(Version 1.3)
