Olympus DSS Player
Sep 4 2008

PRAGMAT  Thanks bosskev for the heads-up on the near uselessness of this release. One is left to wonder about the lapse of mind within those creating a software package requiring almost ten times the space it should reasonably need while neglecting support for some rather pricey related hardware products that were current less than a year ago and are still sold as new by mass-marketers round the globe. It would greatly surprise me to learn that a more usable, better engineered app could not have been written in 9-30 mb that didn't support every DS-player Olympus has made to date. Frankly, it's absurd to think otherwise.

While it is true that Olympus has continued to uphold their good name in the cameras they produce, so far as the Macintosh side of their business is concerned at least, their software has steadily gone from the bemusingly bad to tragically worse. Instead of enabling longtime and long-suffering DS users to move DS access to their ICBMs, Oly' ships this offensively half-thawed mammoth. Something tells me, this following on the equally preposterous recent travesty that was Olympus Master 2, we have yet to reach the nadir of Olympus' ill-considered software design. They seem to be on a roll. Another most disheartening event from a company I have for several decades had only the greatest respect. It causes me shame to watch this decline.

Note that using an app such as Pacifist will allow you to extract some components from this package which will assist you in having some manipulative access to DSS files on PowerPC & x86.

Crumbs.

PRAGMAT  Since intuiware has completely dropped any & all BeOS support I couldn't care less what they might have to offer. How hard is it to post old applications. What we have here is a kind of disregard that should not be supported.

INTUI  Old BeOS applications are not available anymore due to some serious issues I can't speak of. When they will be solved, BeOS applications will reappear. But all of this has nothing to do with work being done on Mac OS X.
