Type: CommentsDate: 23 Jan 2008 09:53Version 1.1.2 has a *lot* of updates, way more than a point release normally does, which is great, but there is one big thing missing from the App (IMHO).
I cannot choose a Color in a very specific way. There is no way for me to enter in an exact RGB, or CMYK value. I have to rely on my mouse and dexterity to pick from a color swatch palette. It is kind of "inexact" and unprofessional.
However, the rest of the app is great and getting better each and every release. Keep up the good work.

Type: ReviewDate: 1 Jan 2008 14:17This app is *good*.
And, it will get better as it appears that the developers are dedicated to making it so.
A lot of reviewers compare it to Photoshop, and so does the developer if I am not mistaken, but let's look at the app for what it is first: a $50 piece of software based on Apple graphics APIs.
Look, that's a great start. This App is going places, and at $50, that sure does beat $600 for Adobe Photoshop CS3.
There are some issues with this app at the time being, but it is *useful*. Besides, it is only at version 1.1 Go ahead and load up Photoshop version 1.0 and take a stroll back in time. This app is great and cheap, and has a lot to offer at this time.

Type: CommentsDate: 30 Dec 2007 15:45The game saves your saved games, on Mac OS X, in the following directory:
~/Documents/Freeciv/saves/
It names them civgame-XXXX.sav.gz where XXXX is a randomly generated number.
However, the game doesn't seem to look there when you try to load a saved game. The dialog box for "load" is not full of files. So, no saved game can be loaded.

Type: ReviewDate: 30 Dec 2007 13:41Great Game! However, it has a showstopper.
It won't save or load your locally played games. Nothing is more frustrating than playing for an hour, saving, and coming back later to load it when you see that no saved game exists.
This is a known bug on OS X Intel since August 5, 2007. The developers need to work on that. A game that doesnt save or load. Ugh!

Type: ReviewDate: 26 Aug 2007 17:03Love it. This 2.2.1 release is amazing, with the new features it adds.
Now uses the Native Mac OS X Spellchecker and Address Book, Handles most Office 2007 files, which current versionsof Microsoft Office for Mac don't do.
Uses native Aqua menus.
No X11 software is required.
Native Mac Printing support, and clipboard support.
And, it's free.
I give it an a lower rating on Ease of Use because its menus mimick MS Office, which are not as easy to use compared to the iWork suite.

Type: ReviewDate: 30 Sep 2006 09:23My Mac Mini Core Duo no longer automatically connects to our house's preferred network. Yet, a an old PowerPC based laptop with the same 10.4.8 OS will still do so.
This update to 10.4.8 seems to break automatic Airport network connection on our Intel based Macs.
Otherwise, everything is working fine.
