VISKWAL  Beware with this update.

I installed it this morning, and all of my snippets have vanished.

I'm still waiting for a reply from smileonmymac, but no update should ever loose any data.  
(Version 2.6.3)

VISKWAL  I currently have Fotomagico Pro 2 (and also iStopmotion and BoinxTV).

I normally don't mind upgrade fee's, as long as they seem justified.

What I do mind in this case is that the upgrade price for Express2 to Pro3, is equal to Pro2 to Pro3.

This is ripping people off. I already payed an upgrade a while ago to go to Pro, the upgrade from Pro2 to Pro3 should be less expensive.

Furthermore, the feature I found lacking the most in version 2 are titles. They are just way to limited for my use. In version 3 they are still as lacking as ever, no improvement.

Improved flexibility in titles would have been my only interest in upgrading.

And lastly about the Boinx company. Last year I was working to a very tight deadline with iStopmotion. I had crash after crash, and was unable to complete my job with this piece of software (there is another excellent stopmotion software on os x I then found out).

All Boinx applications have an internal crash reporter. I submitted 8 crash debugging reports through their tool, and also 4 e-mails (in case their own crash reporter didn't work) to support explaining the situation.

Not once have I been contacted to see what my problem was, not once !

I'm not saying their software is bad, I'll asume it was user error and/or something funky on my laptop, but after 12 contact-attempts one would expect at least a note of decency saying, "sorry we were busy, we could not help you", but not even an apology.

Boinx have proven me what they are worth, and it's none of my money any more.

Other people may have other experiences, but saddly I see them as a greedy company from now on.

VISKWAL  Typical of microsoft, international keyboards still don't work in the release version.

This has been reported over and over through the course of the beta.  
(Version 2.0)

VISKWAL  I rarely post reviews, but MacUpdate is always the place I come to, to read user reviews and to decide if I try and buy a product, or when to steer clear from products.

So here's my contribution.

Today I purchased the Timelog/Grandtotal bundle after trying both for a while.

I come from Stuntsoftware's "On The Job" who is now officially promising this kind of application to come soon, for almost a year now (the anouncement went up in November 2007).

He has been telling me even before that he was thinking in that direction when I mentioned my needs for a program like this.

I consider myself a loyal customer, and thus waited for something to come.

While nothing came, my timetracking and invoicing have become a mess, I invoiced with pages, later numbers, I tried bento, and tried every billing app out there.

Stuntsoftware has many people on the edge of their seat, hoping something will "come soon" but nothing comes, not even a promised blog post.

So, out goes my loyalty, and in comes media atelier.

While I was not instantly overwhelmed by it's ease of use (I find especially Timelog a little hard to understand at times), I was very impressed by the responsivness of the developper.

I contacted him with several questions and I also found a bug in a beta release.

He answered promptly and the bug I found was resolved within minutes.

It shows that the developper cares about his product.

I did not hesitate and instantly bought a license, and I wouldn't have hesitated even if it was twice the price (59 euros for the bundle really is a bargain !)

I'm still learning both programs, but the more I digg into them, the more I'm starting to really like them.

I now regret I didn't make this decision earlier.

I'll also post this review with TimeLog, since the two actually belong together.

VISKWAL  does this also work inside frontrow ?

at the moment I am using dvd assist, but this solution seems much more elegant, if frontrow works with these files.
