URL Manager Pro X
May 26 2008

SALPARADISE  I've been using URL Manager Pro for more than a decade and it has been excellent. Sad to say that it's time to look for something 21st century. This app is still not universal- runs under Rosetta. It needs a modern interface, tagging and smart folders and sophisticated searching. I think the most significant improvement is that he finally got tired of having to support difficulties of password expiration, which i never understood. The problem with it is that it relies on a conventional folder structure and remembering where a bookmark is located. What worked with a few hundred bookmarks just doesn't work when the number increase exponentially. Drilling down through a folder structure, guessing where i might have place a bookmark in order to locate it is a pre OS X strategy that has been replaced the modern environment with multi-level search using smart folders tagging and multiple search criteria with a quick, intuitive interface. If Alco would just redesign UMP so that it's as effective in today's context as it was in the previous millennium i'd buy it again. But for now i just have to get away from conventional folder structures, mousing to place and retrieve and relying on my own memory to make such a system effective. and, UMP doesn't generate valid .xbel files that will import into other bookmark apps (they aren't valid, have errors). portability of data is essential. I really wish I could just pay Alco for a good update rather than having to search for something new.
