Apple iPhoto
Mar 27 2009
**...

JBSSM  Although I cannot abide to praise the ease of use of iPhoto, the truth is that Apple doesn't seem to care for some clients at all.

This software is out for almost 6 months, and so is the Panasonic Lumix 3 camera which is a fairly popular camera, still, after all this time and after 2 updates, still no support for RAW mode in this camera.

I mean, is it that difficult to add a library to the program that is already made and that gives the desired functionality?

Adobe did it in a bit more than 1 month in their software ... Apple is making us wait for more than 6 months.

Also, as interesting and innovative as the face recognition may seem, the truth is that is practically always wrong. All the faces need manual checking and tagging.

JBSSM  Snipping is not working all together.

I've lost 6 auctions by now simply because it doesn't snipe and it doesn't even give an error message, nothing ... it just lets the time pass.

Since I bought this software, more than 1 year ago, the developers haven't add any new features.

This is a paid software, when we buy it we cannot really demand new features, but it's our right to demand that it works and it simply doesn't work!

JBSSM  The bidding/searching is partially broken since the 27 of October when eBay made some changes.

Since then, no update was made to the application in order to solve the problem and no news were given or posted on the developer website about this problem.

JBidwatcher, a free application similar to Auction Hunter, also hasn't corrected the problem still, but they have promptly put an notice in their website stating the problem and it's origin in order to warn the users.

One would expect more from a paying software like Auction Hunter.

JBSSM  Now it seems the search is working well, but in some sites (at least in eBay Austria), the categories page still doesn't reflect the actual categories present in the eBay site. I tried to do an update to the categories but it doesn't change anything.

JBSSM  Hi,

no, it doesn't work correctly.

It manages to keep the categories saved, but still when a search it's made it get results from all the categories in eBay.

Also, for instance, in eBay Austria, the categories are incorrect, as an example, "Büro & Schreibwaren" doesn't appear even after I do an "Reload category".

JBSSM  I didn't have time to check the correction to the memory leaks in 1.0.4, but it still misses the categories in the search panel.

The only eBay site that seems to work fine is the USA one, in the others (Germany for instance) it doesn't keep the search categories when I click save. If I save some search in eBay Germany for instance and then open the preference pane for a search in Italy, what I get in the categories (for eBay Italy) is what I saved in the categories for the eBay Germany.

JBSSM  Extremely buggy software and very seldom updated.

I regret a lot that I bought a license for this software, I should stick with the free alternative Jbidwatcher.

It locks my mac lots of times (more than once a day) and then it crashes. This happens when I try to move some auction between the logical folders or even when I click an auction to open it in the browser.

Also, the search is broken, it doesn't keep the categories, so it keeps searching my search terms in all eBay instead of in a specific category even with me trying all the time for it to keep the desired category saves.

Last but not the least, it receives minor updates like once every 6 months. Mainly bug fixes for small annoyances but not for the really big problems it has.

The only thing it manages to do right it to bid in the auctions at the desired time ... although sometimes it has some error but it doesn't specify what really happen, so if it fails the snipe, many times you are left in the dark on why it happen.

Not recommended!

Can you please try the new 1.0.4 version (that should fix all major bugs) and let us know?

Thank you in advance, and we hope you'll find Auction Hunter a useful tool again!

POWERSOLUTIONS  Thanks for your report.

We've been able to reproduce the problem (unfortunately we weren't aware of it) so we already fixed it.

If you have the time, can you please download the new fixed Auction Hunter using the URL below, and try if it works for you too?

POWERSOLUTIONS  Actually, these are two different problems (the saved categories, fixed in previous build, and the wrong results from all the categories in eBay, caused by some changes implemented by eBay staff).

Anyway, we managed to fix also the search problem and a couple more.

We just uploaded the new Auction Hunter build here, if you'd like to try it:

Thanks again!

PS. For users that are using the new "my eBay" (beta): please note that for the moment you need to opt out and use the standard my eBay if you want to sync auctions with Auction Hunter.

POWERSOLUTIONS  Hmm, this is strange. I checked all categories in Auction Hunter, and they correctly reflect the categories present in eBay.

Can you please contact us at support@powersolutions.it so we can ask you for more details?

Thank you in advance!
