As an FTP uploader its fine.

However to put iweb in the name is a little disingenuous as it has nothing to do with iWeb. Any FTP uploader on macupdate or elsewhere will do precisely the same function.

Awesome. This has been sooo needed. What would make it totally uber awesome is if it had basic FTP functionality.

As this is at the output stage one is still left with having to use say imagewell to upload. One could argue that as imagewell has boarder capability it could do the whole job.

I must be missing something fundemental. All I get is one menu item, 'gimp' with next to no options in it. I tried dragging a JPG onto the app with no luck.

The icon looks nice.

Can I just say this is one of the most awesome pieces of software I have come across.

It just works flawlessly and is so intuitive I am surprised apple has not purchased it off you. After a minutes use it did not even occur to me the complexity involved in dragging a document from one screen to the other, I just assumed it would work, and sure enough it did. Thats what good software is all about.

Kudos for keeping it free mate.

Um, seems like it could be good, but it offers screen resolutions at the beginning but regardless it only fits in about 20% of my screen, would be a lot beter if it went full screen like it implies it will.

The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/LittleSnitch.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

I tried a couple of times.

Oh well.

I love this app but would have just two comments.

1. I would like it if it did not try to open the last image since the last launch, sometimes I have deleted it and imagewell seems to take forever to give up.

2. It would be the worlds greatest living app of all time if it could look in iPhoto and Aperture, at the moment i drag images to the desktop and then launch image well. How nice it would be to just have them there to pick.

Otherwise love it.

The ad blocker is appalling if you switch it on it blocks out any pictures in forums and even the little stars next to peoples scores in eBay, basically it just deletes any images.

Rubbish. The only thing this programme has going for it, is that it looks nice. Not worth 30 bucks when all others are free, including Opera now.

Omniweb is alone in charging for a browser.

I won;t rate it as perhaps they are still working on it. But to me it just looks like a prettier firefox, which I assume its based on.

However it does not seem to allow for folders in the bar, this is a serious oversite for me and deal breaker, I should not have to multi click to find my sites, and frankly I cannot get to grips with all this deliceous nonsense, why can't I just drag a preferred site to a folder in the bar like EVERY other browser?

On the up side, it looks slick, and looks like an OSX app, where as firefox out of the can looks like crap.

I really like the integration of flickr which works really well, but part of me just thinks, I keep on using the free one which plugs right into iPhoto where all my pictures actually reside, this is indeed the problem with all these applications which try to do everything but land up just being a pain.

Any way I played with it for a while and basically you get some blobs on one side and other than that it looks like a standard slightly roughly rendered window, so really I don't understand. Also its pretty clear this is in alpha alpha stage so charging for it is a bit rich.

The simplicity of it is nice. However in the true sense of a screensaver you don't really want a fixed object as it could cause screen burn in. Perhaps you could make the apple shrink and grow, or better still have bite marks taken out the apple until its all gone then it starts again or something.

Nice effort though

I just wish they would peel it away from X11 when ever I buckled in the past and put X11 on my mac the whole thing became a dog, I have no idea why and its plenty reason enough why I am steering will clear of this app.

One other thing, just because I am interested, X11 seems to be quite old, yet this app is a universal binary, how does this work with X11 and if X11 is not universal, whats the point?

Umm, it has potential.

The main gripe would be that this needs to work a little like front row. The developer needs to see if as a product that would be used across the room. There is so much free space in the middle which could be big text for each song.

Getting to a track is not intuitive, you have to start a whole album before getting to a track number = Bad.

The search is quite poor, if you start typing for something and make a mistake hitting delete simply gives and alert you have to escape the whole search and start again.

The rendering is pretty poor.

It has potential, but right now, not great.

The application is far to complicated, its a mess.

Why can't it be simple? In OS7 you had a macro recorder. Press the record button and it would record anything you did until you stopped recording. Give it a name and a lunch button. Job done.

This implementation is a complete mess. Developers need to step back from what there are doing and be honest with themselves.

I have a couple of issues with front row:

in the music section I have around 9000 songs lots of different artists and albums, scrolling though takes a long time, you also have to go A>Z

Playlists show up only as the songs, I tried setting a playlist of Artists beginning with A, within itunes you would see them artists and there albums and songs, in front row it goes straight to songs which is useless.

If you accidentally page back from selecting and go back, your right back at A!

No proper separate monitor support, I have to get up and change the iMac to mirror display, so basically you have to make settings on the computer before using the remote.

This renders the programme a half arsed waste of time.

This download is a mess, within are more images to mount that leads to more mess that you are supposed to do something with and a folder saying OSX that has no contents. It took a while to work out but I got some frameworks put where they should and the game still does not load.

All in all for me not worth the effort, I know its free but if you can't make it a simple download and unzip, I fear for the contents of the actual game.

Worked well for a while but when I changed the prefs to zoom in quicker it crashes everytime you attempt anything. I put it back to slow, but after that it was crash crash crash.

Fair enough its a beta, but thought I would mention it.

I am running a G5 powermac with 1.2 gigs of ram and a pro 9800 mac addition graphics card.

shows great promise though.
