THEALLSEER  Simple, backs up to networked, hard wired or hosted drives. Doesn't make backups bootable, but I wouldn't expect that from such a lightweight program. I primarily use it to backup to a hosted ftp, which SuperDuper! doesn't do. And I'm a paying customer of SD too.

Perfect for my needs. I was shocked at how hard it was to find a solution to back up to ftp drives. My search is over.

THEALLSEER  Like others have said; it has potential, but is so convoluted, without any rhyme or reason to half of it's functions that it's pretty useless in it's current state. The learning curve to get started is so high that it is simply not worth the time or hassle. It takes so long just to do basic things that KinklessGTD does with 1-2 clicks. I'm eagerly awaiting Omnifocus' release, because if it is as good as it sounds, the bar will be raised and Inbox will either die or have to meet it feature for feature in order to compete.

THEALLSEER  I'd like to be able to choose the tag prefix. I currently use quicksilver for tagging my files and i choose to use & instead of @ because I don't want it getting mixed in with my emails when I do searches.

Final Draft
Nov 8 2006

THEALLSEER  In other non-crappy software news, Celtx is free and just added a lot more new features. Don't waste any of your time or money on this program. It was the defacto standard because there weren't any viable options, but now there is:

OmniWeb
Aug 15 2006

THEALLSEER  Camitools is a free addition to Camino and it blocks as many ads, flash and standard, as adblock does for Firefox. I believe it uses the same strings from adblock. Either way, it just works without me having to do anything but hit a check box.

Pith helmet for Safari is donationware, in essense, free. Also, just clicking a checkbox.

I'll stick to those free alternatives until Omni makes it just as easy to implement. Trust me, Id use Omniweb if it was and I didnt have to do CSS blocking and what not, just like I dont do with 3 other browsers.

THEALLSEER  YAAAAAAAAAY! Finally they support and allow importing of adblock expressions!

That's what I would be saying as I hit the purchase button for this program if they actually implemented that.

But until then, no adblock, no customer. And that right clicking stuff works 1/4th of the time and not on flash ads. Please get with the times and implement better adblocking and importing of expressions.

'Til then, I'll continue using my free and fully adblock supporting Camino, Safari and Firefox.

MU5TI  Free & adblock supporting...

Camino? Free, but does not support adblock out of the box. Unless you mean usercontent.css blocking, which in fact is not blocking but hiding (i.e. "stuff" is downloaded and then hidden).

Safari? Free, but does not support adblock out of the box. Unless you buy $10 PithHelmet and/or mean loading user stylesheets.

Firefox? Free, yes. Good browser, yes. But...not really a Mac application. Services? System's spell checker? Keychain support? Aqua interface? Oh, sure it has AdBlock.

Your best bets are using

1. hosts file (in /etc there is a hosts file)

2. some kind of installed proxy (Privoxy, BFilter, etc)

3. Camino/Firefox's hostperm.1

I use all three. Yes, I really hate ads.

LiteSwitch X
Aug 2 2006

THEALLSEER  So glad its been released for intel macs. But ive seem to have found a problem. Sometimes switch is VERY slow. When i hit the key combo, it takes 1-5 seconds to show the tab switcher. As soon as I disable LiteSwitch, the default apple one will pop up instantly, like LiteSwitch should be doing.

Using it on MBP 15" 2gb ram, 100gb 7200 HD

THEALLSEER  I would totally buy/use it if ad and flash blocking were a lot easier to add/edit/use/etc.

Using CSS files, adding single lines to hidden preference files or to the ad blocking area in the preferences is totally unacceptable.

I'm sorry, but this is a deal breaker for any browser that I could potentially use. Would love to use the browser, but I might as well start using IE if I want to see ads all day.

Montage
Jul 20 2006

THEALLSEER  The program has a lot of potential and I'm very excited to see two programs really giving a go at this market that has been under the thumb of Final Draft for so many bug-filled, not-working-properly years.

The problem with Montage though, is that it's closest competition (which this program bears a striking resemblance to) is Celtx. Which happens to be free and does nearly everything Montage currently does, even a few extra things that it doesnt. The subtle differences between the two doesnt warrant the $139 price tag in my eyes. So I'm happy to say that I'm sticking with Celtx until Montage has some feature I just have to use.

Keep up the good work though. Competition is a great thing.

Burn
Jul 14 2006
*****

THEALLSEER  After the Dev fixed the dvd burning issue for intel macs, the program has been spot on! It burns and encodes dvds even quicker than Toast for me (probably cut the encoding time by at least 70%). I absolutely love it. There is no learning curve and it works wonderfully and is rock solid as far as stability. Keep up the great work!

THEALLSEER  Unfortunately when I try to burn a DVD, it asks if i want to encode, I hit yes, it asks where to save encoded file, i select and hit ok, the encoding quits and nothing more happens. I wish this worked because this is the only thing holding me back from dumping toast.

THEALLSEER  My Savior! Theres nothing on the market that does what this program does on intel macs. I just got a Logitech Bluetooth MX900 and was afraid I might have to return it because I couldn't map any of the buttons (i tired all the other mouse button mapping apps and they either aren't universal binaries or just don't work with bluetooth mice *cough* USB Overdrive.) SteerMouse to the rescue! Not only did it save me, but it also replaced LazyMouse since it does exactly the same thing. Two apps in one for a 3rd of the price, someone pinch me! lol. Keep up the amazing work.

Camino

THEALLSEER  Love love love it. Super quick, awesome features when you add camitools to the mix. By far the fastest browser ive used on my macbook. Been using it as my default browser for a few months and havent looked back. It sort of reminds me of omniweb aesthetically, but is much quicker and, of course, cheaper.

THEALLSEER  Looks like someone is taking a page from the Acquisition developer's notes. There's a nag screen that pops up every hour or so if you're running the program as a "trial". I think the dev should revise the text to say "10 day free trial... until we bug you enough to either buy it or uninstall it during those 10 days".

If you're going to have an evaluation period, don't bug your potential buyers with these nag screens. You lost me, and it only took 2 hours.

How it works?

Drag folder with jpgs (or other formats) to CONVERTEPDF for generate PDF files inside that folder, before drag again that contet to COMBINAPDF for generate a single PDF file with all images in desktop.

TIP: Drag a folder with PDF files to COMBINAPDF for generate a single PDF file in desktop.
