TDU  Great app, but needs more options in the quality preferences. You should be able to select different file sizes/settings for different files somehow. EG a 1/2 show at 350 MB is good quality. And hour show at the same file size is not. The general categories of "normal, high, very high' are just too vague when you are downloading a bunch of different length shows.

Apple AirPort Utility
Mar 16 2009
*....

TDU  I have the same issues as previous posters. My wireless connection had been bulletproof up until installing this update. In my case I didn't even mean to install it was the worst part. Airport Utility asked if I wanted to update it when I had it open, and I wasn't reading the dialogs carefully enough and hit ok by mistake. I have regretted it ever since. My connection CONSTANTLY drops. If I leave the computer idle for more than 1/2 hour, I end up having to reset my base station just to get it to show up. It costs me a ton of time each workday.

This update has been a DISASTER for me. And obviously from the reviews, I am not alone. I normally only leave comments and not a star rating, but if anything deserves a one star ratings it's this software. Definitely proceed with caution if you plan on using this.

Flux
Nov 8 2008
***..

TDU  I have used Flux for the trial period, and am updating previous comments I left to a review.

As pointed out in other reviews, Flux has a ton of potential. And after using the developer's forums, they seem dedicated to making it into a great application. The support provided on the forums is outstanding.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, the problem is that while a lot of time has been spent on the advanced CSS features of the application, a lot of the 'simple' features aren't implemented as well. At least not on the WYSIWYG side of things. Figuring out basic things like adding inline images to paragraphs etc. can be a bit of a process. At this point (for me) it just makes things too time consuming. There really needs to be some improvements with inspector style windows and menus.

All that being said, I still recommend trying the application. And I recommend visiting the forums and giving the developers suggestions. This application has a ton of potential and I look forward to the day that I CAN use it as my main design app.

It fills a big hole that exists between all of the other editors for those of us who can't completely hand code sites, are beyond an application like Rapidweaver, but don't want the bloat of something like Dreamweaver. It could be a very nice 'middle ground'.

Flux
Oct 9 2008

TDU  I installed Flux earlier and have been playing around with it. I have been a GoLive user for years, and never switched to Dreamweaver (just don't like it). With GoLive not being updated anymore, I always have my eyes open for an alternative.

Flux definitely has potential. It's a well thought out program, that is packed full of features but very easy to use. Lot's of little time savers too like when you click on an element in the WYSIWYG window, it will automatically show just that element in the code window. Click on the page to see the whole pages code. As someone who is still in the stages of learning about coding while working in WYSIWYG, this is a neat feature.

It's too early to leave a review, but I wanted to leave some kind of comment. I will be using the software for the trial period to see if it could possibly replace GoLive for me. If so I plan to purchase.
