GRUMPYTICO  I got this app in the MacHeist bundle...and I have stopped using it simply because it won't sync alarms with iCal. That is, there is no way to make a TODO that will alert you when it's due, which defies my purpose of using this.

Otherwise, it's a very nice application with a very cool GUI, hopefully this missing feature will be implemented in the future.  
(Version 0.9.3.17)

GRUMPYTICO  Thanks I see your point. I usually don't care about the desktops having different configs, I just want to know that my 2nd workspace has Safari, my 3rd one has Coda, my 1st one is Finder and so on...so I guess I'm easy when it comes to pleasing with multiple desktops ;)  
(Version 2.1)

GRUMPYTICO  I'm sorry...how is this any different from Spaces?  
(Version 2.1)

GRUMPYTICO  IIt works and it's free, can't ask for much more. Thanks!  
(Version 0.3)

GRUMPYTICO  Imperative? WTF do you think you are? Developer: ignore this douche, thanks for taking the time to write this. If there is any data loss, I'm aware it's MY FAULT.

Man, this mentality of finding everyone liable except oneself for actions one commits is seriously pissing me off.  
(Version 0.3)

GRUMPYTICO  The software gets the job done; however the activation procedure is not coll at all.

I've had to activate it several ties after switching machines. Today while trying to use it on my MBP I was asked AGAIN to activate it and it won't let me because it has been activated on too many machines. Software should be smarter than this.  
(Version 1.210)

GRUMPYTICO  I'm kinda getting sick of mac apps that start up and then just vanish into thin air. For instance, Visual Hub and this one, but Visual Hub at least had the decency of hanging around for more than one month.

If the developer of this application had to make it open-source so that it complies with lastFM, then he should have known this from the start. Instead here I am, July 24th, the application that I paid $30 no longer works because LastFM changed something, and who know if it will eventually be fixed.

To the dev, you really made a sh!tty move, people like you make me want to never spend another dime on shareware.  
(Version 1.0.1)

GRUMPYTICO  This is by far, one of the best reviews I have ever read on MacUpdate. Your points are so damn valid, they are scary ;) Thanks for taking the time to write your opinion, I think you are right on target.  
(Version 4.0)

GRUMPYTICO  I've used like 5 twitter clients and this one is by far the best one. Intuitive, clean, and has all the features I need. Thanks!  
(Version 1.1)

GRUMPYTICO  I've been hunting down rank applications for quite a while and this is, hands down, the best.

It will generate very nice reports and it will help you in getting keywords out of existing ones. It is also a great tool to measure rank statistics on any search engine. The interface is clean and very easy to use. Definitely recommended.  
(Version 4.3)

GRUMPYTICO  Pretty damn slick!!! Very simple to use :)

Killer feature would be to:

-Notify once image has been uploaded via Growl

-Create the URL using tinyURL

Thanks!  
(Version 1.0.1)

GRUMPYTICO  Works like a charm.  
(Version 1.0b)

GRUMPYTICO  Man, I am amazed how well you know my computer's behavior. I'll call you up next time it behaves erratically - given that you know it better than I do.  
(Version 1.0)

GRUMPYTICO  blloyd & stormchild: I guess we have to explain it to you like the 12-year olds that you are:

Sometimes Mac OS X hangs - due to whatever reason, it hangs. I've had it reach a state in which I would now be able to bring Activity Monitor and the command 'sudo reboot now' would not do anything. I've had apps that crash not respond to Force Quit dialogs - and guess what? This app helps me avoiding a hard reset and allows me to reboot my system gracefully.

See, someone WHO USES the program (not someone who goes about trolling in MU - take a look at stormchild's comments on other SW) finds it USEFUL. Now you may think it's stupid, just like someone who does not does not program in Objective-C would find XCode stupid.

Bottom line, if you don't use it, STFU and don't use it. We don't want to listen why YOU guys think something should have never seen the light of day.

To the developer: thanks for your software, and don't let a-holes like these two trolls affect any of your work. Cheers!  
(Version 1.0)

GRUMPYTICO  Stormchild is absolutely stupid.

Don't anyone listen to any of his words.

How do you like it buddy?  
(Version 1.0)

GRUMPYTICO  This is a great way to manage your bookmarks in terms of editing and deleting multiple entries at once. Thanks for your efforts, don't know what the other reviewer was smoking when he/she typed his/her review.  
(Version 1.5)

GRUMPYTICO  5 more stars to counter the retarded review below.  
(Version 3.0.5)

GRUMPYTICO  Brilliant, worked perfectly fine the first time I used it. Thanks so much!!!! :)  
(Version 0.2)

GRUMPYTICO  I know this is a far-fetched scenario, but I have 35K+ songs and loading the library takes eons.

Not only that, but when the library finally loads and I try to get modificatios for *one* file, it beachballs for 2+ minutes and hangs the living sh*t of iTunes as well. It needs to be modified so it can scale up better.

OS 10.5.2 MBP 2 GB RAM  
(Version 1.7.4)

GRUMPYTICO  wow...it cleaned an srt file that submerge did not like...after this, it was all good...thanks!!!  
(Version 1.0b6)

GRUMPYTICO  u are on crack....handbrake does ONE of the things VH does, but VH does like 20 other things handbrake was not created to do.  
(Version 1.31a)

GRUMPYTICO  I have tried to recover my registration key since January and have YET to receive a response. If you want any kind os support from this product - avoid like the plague:

Hello, I bought KavaTunes a while back, it was called iTunesCatalog I believe. I had an HD crash and I cannot find my Paypal Transaction ID so I cannot retrieve the registration key.

Can you please let me know how to proceed?

Thanks.

GRUMPYTICO  VH has never caused any of the 4 macs i hace tried it to kernel panic - and i use lots of apps - including transmission.  
(Version 1.31)

GRUMPYTICO  Yup...I would buy this in a snap if it worked in my country. Perhaps the author can integrate a proxy type mechanism that could fool Pandora in thinking it was in the US :)  
(Version 1.2B206)

GRUMPYTICO  Me likey Springy better:

(Version 1.5)

GRUMPYTICO  Nevermind:

Remote Desktop Connection Client supports multiple simultaneous Remote Desktop Connection sessions. You can save the connection settings for different Windows-based computers to Remote Desktop Connection settings files, and double-click those files to open multiple sessions independent of each other.  
(Version 2.0b1)

GRUMPYTICO  How do I enable this?:

"...Multiple Sessions

Lets you connect to multiple Windows-based computers at the same time..."

I cannot find it anywhere on the program :(   
(Version 2.0b1)

GRUMPYTICO  To the reviewer above...learn to read:

http://tinyurl.com/ynnrdf

The software does what it says it does and it is extremely easy to use (that is, if you can read error/success messages). Kudos for a great application!!  
(Version 2.3.1)

GRUMPYTICO  I would like to use Applescript to have this app recursively compress files within a directory.

Given that it is not scriptable, is there a way to run this from the terminal window with predetermined switches to skip through the initial window and it compress files to my liking?

Thanks!!  
(Version 1.6.3)

GRUMPYTICO  This is ridicolous...smtips review is very, very shameful. This is a typical Mac user...shivers when they hear "Windows" and just blatantly thinks Macs are the best without ever using Windows.

I think the developer is right on track on how he replied. The reviewer is downright immature and should be treated as suck.

To the developer: THANK YOU. Thanks for creating quality software. I applaud your response to smtips, guys like him are the ones that have people judge mac users as dumb zealots, and unfortunately, I have to admit most of them are :(  
(Version 1.6.3)

GRUMPYTICO  I have used it for 5 minutes and I am already in love:

-It will let your browse archived files (like zips) and extract what you need without the need to extract the whole thing

-Super mega fast Spotlight integration, it won't do the retarded "search as you type", it finds things faster than spotlight because of this

-Drawer window lets you keep favorites for quick access

-Blazing fast

The only thing I would like to see is label support, move file support (button is there, it is not enabled), and why not...tabs? ;)  
(Version 1.0b)

GRUMPYTICO  Use this instead:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23175

I've found CD Folder Partitioner both unstable and overpriced.  
(Version 2.0.2)

GRUMPYTICO  I used it shortly for splitting 8 GB into to two folders for burning - it did it flawlessly.

I then tried with my home folder so I could have a backup and it did had some problems with special characters - nonetheless, it has a bright bright future.

Considering others are asking $40 for basically the same thing (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22687) I think this is an amazing tool.  
(Version 0.9b6)

GRUMPYTICO  I've been using PhotoUpLink for quite some time now and I think it is a great product for various reasons. For starters, it takes the pain of being able to backup your iPhoto collection to a remote server. I have used it to backup most of my iPhoto library amd.streamlod.com and I feel safe knowing that if disaster strikes, I have a backup of my pics.

The rest of the features I have not yet thoroughly used; yet they are extras to compliment a product that if only had the FTP backup feature would be very well worth the price.  
(Version 1.0.1)

GRUMPYTICO  The app's interface is nice and clean, however I cannot manage to have it open for more than 15 minutes without it locking up on me. Seems like it chokes on big torrent files.  
(Version 1.0b2v27)

GRUMPYTICO  When you read a comment like the one from PISSELPASSLET, we should all be more careful. The same thing happenned to me when selecting various files...ALL files in the folder were deleted and sent to the trash. I pulled them all back (or so I thought) only to find out I did not rescue a file from the trash which I had spent two hours working. This is a very severe bug, application should not have even seen the light of day with this dangerous behavior, and the developer should not even consider charging it until proper testing has been done.   
(Version 2.3.5)

GRUMPYTICO  I can't get it to work. I get the app to launch, input the parameters, hit connect, x11 (latest version) opens up and nothing happens. Any clues?  
(Version 0.4.1)

GRUMPYTICO  url for gentoo on X11 for OS X?  
(Version 2.3.5)

GRUMPYTICO  I just set jUploadr in my mother's iBook and so far it works like a charm. I like the features it has to upload all pictures as being public or private by default, drag and drop works directly from iPhoto and the fact that it resizes the images prior to upload is a definite plus.

It really does much more than uploading images to Flickr...hard to believe it is cross platform and free. Great work, I love it!!  
(Version 1.1.1)

GRUMPYTICO  Any shareware company that at this point does not have Universal Binaries of their products should really be questioned on the update support of their applications. No UB, no purchase - heck, not even download.  
(Version 4.4)

GRUMPYTICO  Oh come on. You get the *same* functionality by having the Energy Saver menu item!!! It takes ONE click to move from Better Performance to Better Energy Saver w/o any 3rd party tool installed. Don't tell me you did not know this before writing this software?  
(Version 1.2)

GRUMPYTICO  It did not associate with my Linksys router. I could really use this application, please make it work!! (I am giving you great reviews to make up for the unfair 1-star rating you received below)  
(Version 1.0.4)

GRUMPYTICO  Unibin please?  
(Version 1.0)

GRUMPYTICO  I was so sick an tired of running Office at super slow speeds on my Intel mac, so I decided to give this a try. The first that I loved was the interface that resembles Windows Office - it feels just like home.

Secondly, it really screams on my MacBook, anything I do is really fast - Excel, Word, etc.

As far as compatibility, it really shines. I could not think of one feature where this product falls short, thanks so much the developers for your efforts!!  
(Version 2.0b3)

GRUMPYTICO  I second the motion for a Mactel version!!!  
(Version 0.5)

GRUMPYTICO  Hmmm...it crashes on me as well...OS X does not recognize the crash, it just silently crashes.

I love this damn thing, I am sure my memory is OS (nothing else in my system is acting up). Wonder if there is anything else I can do :(  
(Version 1.0b51)

GRUMPYTICO  Wow, I opened MU page and accidentally stumbled on this...I have been dual booting for using hdl_dump for ages now, this is most definitely great news!!! Thanks so much for bringing this to OS X, much obliged!!!!  
(Version 0.9.9)

GRUMPYTICO  This application beats out any screen taking app on OS X. Its simplicity never ceases to amaze - I can't believe it is free. Thanks so much!!!  
(Version 3.0b2)

GRUMPYTICO  Thanks, I've had it with Spotlight and this is just what I was looking for. Muchas gracias!! :) (an Intel version would be great)  
(Version 1.0.3a)

GRUMPYTICO  Spotlight's index can take lots of space. I personally hate spotlight, Windows search is probably less annoying.

As far as finding a program stupid because YOU do find any use for it - no comment.  
(Version 1.0.3a)

GRUMPYTICO  No documentation (I know they are intentionally doing this to brag about its simplicity), but I have yet to figure out how to add my own shortcuts, dragging has not worked.  
(Version 1.0)

GRUMPYTICO  I really like this RSS reader, so I feel kinda bad saying something not good about it :(

I have 46 RSS subscriptions and when marking all messages as read and moving on, it becomes Beachball land in Vienna. CPU usage is around 10% when this happens (I'm using a MBP), I have to switch and do other things while Vienna can come to its senses - which can sometimes take up to a minute :(

Overall, excellent RSS reader with a problem that at least for me, makes it unusable.  
(Version 2.1.0.2105)

GRUMPYTICO  It's something on your end, it works perfectly fine on my Mac.  
(Version 0.1)

GRUMPYTICO  ray16: dude, WTF do you think you are to yell out orders to anyone? Is the developer your slave?

Unbelievable.  
(Version 1.2.1)

GRUMPYTICO  Two fatal flaws:

-At the beginning it checks something online, which if network is a bit buys can take up to 10 seconds in doing so :S Sometimes it has completely hung up on me when doing this

-NO RESUME! I have tried twice in the last hour to upload a file and transfer has failed. The app should present an option to immediately try and continue the upload where it left off, but instead fails and you have to start all over again.

I have no problems uploading and resuming with Transmit to the same server, so it is not my server.

Until these two flaws are fixed (especially the second one), it's way easier to upload the file and send the link manually.  
(Version 2.0.5)

GRUMPYTICO  I'll second the anonymous post below, this is mega unstable. It not only froze, but it halted my machine completely when recording a Parallels session. This happened not once, but twice...stay away from this one.  
(Version 1.010)

GRUMPYTICO  Hmmm...yeah, that works fairly well when you have two finder Windows open, else you are going to be spring loading like hell which is utterly inefficient.

Try this: create a text file under ~/ and move it with your method to

/Users/User2/Public/Drop Box/

With your method, it will take you no less than 10 seconds given that you do not make a mistake. Cut and paste will probably take half of that. :)  
(Version 0.1)

GRUMPYTICO  I still have not gotten it to work with the third party utils. I have tried Keyseer and the Pear one and the process seems to die as soon as I launch it (using a MacBookPro).

The scripts work well, and if you don't understand why we need a cut key on OS X and why it is one of the most requested features, then I really feel sorry for you.

It worked OK with Xkeys, but this does not cut and paste between volumes :S  
(Version 0.1)

SABOR  Pretty sweet for a beta. Very stable, worked great. Felt some hiccups while zooming, but nothing serious. These guys are taking over the world and I am happy for them :) Extremely nice port fellows!!  
(Version 3.1.0371)
