Devawriter
Nov 26 2009

PROKOS_J  Yes, I had the same issue. I downloaded the font and Devawriter would not recognize it. I assume it's because of Snow Leopards new font requirements. So, I converted the font from windows ttf to mac ttf and now it works. I suggest the developer include the font in the package if it's required. Also, this looks very much like a beta release, the interface needs a lot of work - tidying up. I do hope the developer keeps working on it, it has potential.

PROKOS_J  I would like to be able to download version 4.1.0 but there is no link to older versions on your website. Trying via FTP as guest gives no access.

PROKOS_J  I would like to download this but it seems like a waste of bandwidth to download the entire database each time Apple releases a few new gadgets. Seems to me it would be more efficient to develop some sort of update package since that would invariably be only a few kilobytes in size. Just a suggestion.

This is not the only transgression of this kind out there. Having to download a 100 MB UniveralBinary/Multiple Language software package to find out that only 50 MB of it are needed on my system… well, that's annoying.

The answer in this time of multiple Apple systems running different processors and OSs in different countries is to have a selection, not jam every possible configuration into one package. I don't think that adding a download package for English only, one for PPC and one for Intel would be so difficult. Of course, I am not a software programmer.

PROKOS_J  There may be nothing out there,,, but $250! You can buy an entire OS for less than half.

1Password
Sep 21 2009

PROKOS_J  A heads up on 1Password version 3…

As of version 2.11 I really like this software, the interface is simple and uncluttered and works perfectly. I don't like what's happening with this software in version 3. The simple interface as been changed. The yellow highlight marker for copy mode, come on, that's the best they could think of. That in no way blends in with the Mac OS. Please at least ditch that Agile.

So for those who like this software and agree with me that function is more important than an upgraded design take a look at the beta before it's design is permanently embedded in stone and shipped out. Send an email and tell them that it is function that's important. Remember you are paying for the upgrade, I already have.

CORPSECORPS  Not big on that yellow & orange splotch either.

And since it can hold multiple logins for one locale, it would be nice if Shelf view could show the Username!

Timer Utility

PROKOS_J  I have been looking for a replacement for iuTime by iUni. So far there is nothing… I wish this developer would incorporate iuTimes features, then it would be a no-brainer.

Shades
Aug 17 2009

PROKOS_J  I have been using Shades and recently discovered that it is interfering with the custom screen calibration on my iMac. Shades switches my custom calibration off even though it is selected in the Monitor Preferences. The only way to get my custom calibration to stick is to open Shades preferences and cycle it off. I am guessing it has something to do with the position Shades is loaded at system startup because this wasn't happening before.

PROKOS_J  I was taking a look at this and went to the website… no email address for the developer. There are forums but I am too lazy to fill in the fields. I was going to ask if it were possible to have FOREX rates as well as stocks in the app.

QuickBench
Aug 3 2009

PROKOS_J  Before Apple went from OS9 to OSX I had three software titles from this company. I was hooked because they professed that they would give free updates for life. Well, if there aren't any updates what does it matter how long you get them for. I see that last time they produced anything relevant was in 2008. Stay away, or get hosed.

VR Worx
Dec 2 2008
**...

PROKOS_J  I downloaded the Demo version of VR Worx 2.6.2. First of all, developers, don't cripple your demo software.

For software that costs $300 the user interface is very poorly designed. I would expect that from a version 1.0 shareware product, not from this software. There are so many glitches that it makes the software virtually impossible to use.

There is no way to delete multiple imported images at once, the user is forced to click on one image at a time and click a clear button. That means 24 clicks to delete a 12 image panoramic! The other choice is to start over from the beginning.

After getting to the build pane and changing options and tolerance settings the panoramic won't build again. The user has to go back to the previous step again. In this same window there is no way to tilt individual images - all of the images tilt at the same time, even if just one is selected.

The list of quirks goes on and on.

The user who suggested Photovista… that software is windows only.

I give it stars because it seems to have a good "engine" under the hood, just needs to have the interface adjusted.

Meanwhile try something else.

****.

PROKOS_J  Works perfectly for me. I use the strong password generator all the time now instead of using the same memorized password for every website (which was a serious security risk). I was recently offered a chance to give away three software licenses, which I did. I have never seen or heard of that from a software developer,,, possibly a paid 3.0 upgrade coming soon??? :)

Opera

PROKOS_J  I was getting ready to download this and I read comments about Opera's incompatibility with 1Password. Now it's a no go for me as well.

CUPS-PDF

*****

PROKOS_J  This is works perfectly other than it will over-write files with the same name in the same directory without warning you first. If you are printing from Safari you won't get a chance to see what the name is until it's in the directory.

CUPS-PDF
Mar 14 2006

STEVE COPLEY  If you edit...

/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf

and set the 'Label' option to 1 it should solve your overwriting problem

i.e.

### Key: Label

## label all jobs with a unique job-id in order to avoid overwriting old

## files in case new ones with identical names are created; always true for

## untitled documents

## 0: label untitled documents only, 1: label all documents

### Default: 0

Label 1

Best regards
