KINABREW  Oh, and I would put the cache in ~/Library/Caches/StarPlayr, and the other stuff in ~/Library/"Application Support"/StarPlayr

KINABREW  Works fine, but needs some polish.

The functionality is great, but some buttons' purposes are not immediately obvious.

It would also be better if the default recording directory was ~/Music/StarPlayr rather than ~/SPlayr, and if it was a little easier to know when it was recording(like if the record button appeared to be pressed).

GOODTIME  Thank you for the constructive criticism. StarPlayr is current in beta. Starplayr does give some feedback when recording is [b]on.[/b] It shows it in [b]red[/b] type right below the channel. The red type shows the Channel that is being recorded including the date and the time it was started. Pressing record button again stops the recording and the type vanishes.

I will be changing the recording button to get much brighter when it is recording in a future update.

This software is far from finished. I agree it needs maybe a little more polish, maybe some turtle wax will do the trick.

Sincerely,

Goodtime

GOODTIME  Your request for Moving of the folders will be in the next update v1.0b8

This is not a big deal and would look much nicer.

I will make arrangements to have Starplayr clean up the folders from their present form and let the user know where the new stuff is.

Great idea.

Thanks,

Goodtime

KINABREW  I've found TextWrangler to be a very stable program, and can't remember the last time it crashed on my system.

****.

KINABREW  This seems like a very good start.

I like the flexible data entry, like the ability to type dates in yyyy/mm/dd or mm/dd/yyyy format in the date fields, the information in the starting points menu, and the way the developer seems to have put a lot of thought into how to make things simple. Controls are located right where you would expect them. The program has a very simple and well-organized interface, and is pretty easy to use for the most part.

There are a few things which would really help:

The lack of right-click ability is annoying. In the left pane, I find myself right-clicking on "Clients" hoping for "Add Client", right-clicking on individual clients hoping for "Edit Client", clicking on individual clients or other items and hoping for "Delete", or clicking on the "Services" category under "Clients" hoping for "New Service".

In the top pane, I find myself right-clicking hoping for "Copy"(to copy an entire item, or if an individual field is selected, just the field), "Delete" and "Duplicate".

In many Mac programs, like in the Finder, when something is selected, you can hit return to highlight its name and rename it. This ability, and the ability to hit tab and shift-tab to get to the previous or next item would be useful both in the left pane, renaming clients or categories, and in the top pane, quickly changing client, date or summary information.

A delete button would be a useful button in the button bar at the top, and the ability to go to Edit:Undo to un-delete an item from the top pane would be much appreciated.

"+ -" menus at the bottom of the left pane like the ones at the bottom of the client editor would make it easier to add clients or folders to sort things.

The invoices look very nice, but I'd also like a little more ability to edit what appears and the location of things on the invoice.
