It seems to work fine most of the time but it's got a personality of its own... sometimes it will freeze for no reason and be quite hard to wake up! I usually launch or delaunch the dashboard or click repeatedly on the little (i) info button to make it work again but it's not supposed to slow down or stop working I guess. Maybe because it doesn't like the song? Or RAM shortage (I have 512)? Or connection problem? Or I skipped songs too fast? Still the best way to get lyrics and artworks I've seen so far, just needs to run a little smoother.

The drag and drop feature didn't work when dragging finder search results onto the app window... which is the thing i was trying to do.

I'm not crazy about it because the drag and drop function doesn't seem to work properly on my computer... whenever I drag files I want renamed, the program just ignores it and opens a standard "Open File" window with the desktop files sorted alphabetically, and the files I dragged are nowhere to be found... if you quit cancel the program just quits (!)... annoying.

To me it's really the best but be careful when you resize using the "Width and Height" option since it might squeeze your pictures to resize them. You should never overwrite or delete without checking the results anyways.

How is this supposed to work? I have no idea what program to launch first and how to configurate... and there is no tutorial or text file for help of course... right.

It wouldn't be too bad if the application remembered the previous settings set by the user... The "640 pixels" default isn't gonna satisfy everyone.

Does the job! But eh... no drag and drop? Eh? Also, it doesn't say what the level of quality of the resized JPEG file is.

Ugly application icon, let me know if I can make you one.

Supposedly widgets are here to make simple actions, and make one's life simpler by not having to download and run a stand-alone application to do small chores... so I believe using them should be intuitive and easy. I will read the tutorial and learn to use it, but I think my comments still make a point.

Hello

So please explain how one can drop something onto a widget, since the desktop is, by definition, greyed out and unusable when the dashboard is on...

It works great! From what I understand you don't have a "save" option that overwrites the existing file you were cropping, so you might have to click "replace" a lot, but besides from that I liked it! Oh and i thought it would be nice to be able to open a lot of image files at once and go through them faster.

I didnt find it convenient.

I don't want fixed frame size, or fixed width, or fixed height. I just want to drag a selection in an image, then crop it and save it that way. This doesnt allow you to decide how you want to crop your photo, unless you want the cropping pre-defined by the makers of the program... Very useful if you're cropping 200 of the same photo. Besides, no square appears when trying to draw the crop zine over the image, just a weird-looking cursor of a hand giving you the finger.

Not very easy to work through interface... I wish the zone to crop was just draggable, instead of it being pre-defined. It has to be a zone of the same size for all images! This isn't very useful.

So what's the point in putting up for download a half-baked program? Some people like me clicked the link because they needed something to download and install and be sure they could use it as an alarm clock and actually wake up! Not to go through the hassle of downloading, installing, trying to figure out and then "oh bad luck you can't try all the features yet and have to be beta testers for me" NO! people want to download a program that is fully functional, set it up and then go to sleep and be sure it'll wake them up (or anything else). Please include in the description of the program that it isn't complete!

I launched it. It said "need to download new version" so I let it do. Then it said "new version downloaded please relaunch application".

I don't understand why half the commands in the main window are greyed out and I cannot modify them - for example the "alert sound" menu is greyed out and cannot be modified, but also the "do script" - "speak message" and "wake up computer" commands are totally greyed out and cant be clicked on and off.

Don't download this unless it's not an important appointment you have to go to, or you can spare time to read the help files for a program which should be intuitive and easy to use!

A simple way to get rid of it: With the program called "Onyx" tick the box to securely delete what's in the trash. Put anything remotely "monitorer" in the trash. Click on "apply" in Onyx. There you go.

I downloaded Monitorer, and it didn't work properly.

All the log files I have opened showed me that the files were saved AS IF I

had set the wrong keyboard settings for example if I type in an email: "ask him

what he means" Monitorer recorded: "qsk hi, zhqt he ,eqns". See the problem?

It's a real pain.

Of course my email to them returned to sender with a "failure notice".

Lame.

So... It wasn't recognized as an app at all. Just a blank rectangle for an icon. Double-clicked on it, nothing. Sorry...

The developpers seem to know something about humor, this shows in the "about" and "how to" windows, and in some menus, but they sure can't come up with a game that's fun to play.

I've spent several dozens of minutes trying to understand how to play it, or trying to understand what was the point to it, and each time I ended up wanting to give it all up. I ended up simply giving it up, after trying to finish level 1 for about an hour. Very annoying and complicated.

This app plays mp3s very well, and the interface is easy to handle and simple to use. Nevertheless, I have deleted it because even although it takes up less RAM space than iTunes, it will convert every file played to the Destiny format... Let's say you want to read one of your mp3s with quicktime after it was played by Destiny, and since it was attributed to Destiny you won't be able to do that. Nothing in the preferences board disables that and I find this pretty sad they won't ask you if you want to attribute your files to the program, they'll just do it without asking.
