Great little app, and the price is right! Works as advertised... the self-updating blacklist and the "genie" which searches for updated applications (which then need to be re-slimmed) are also great!

ditto the previous review. a pity too, it's a great idea and well implemented, but the price is just ludicrous! Someone needs to create a plugin or something to wrap this functionality into textmate...

Especially since the "edit in writeroom" functionality is borrowed straight from TM!

Seems the new version is causing trouble... after upgrading only to see 7za crashing due to bus errors, I followed this temporary fix from the 7zx forums:

Downgrade to 1.6.7: http://sixtyfive.thesneaky.com/temporary/7zX_1.6.7.dmg

MAL Conduit 1.0.4
Type: Troubleshooting
Date: 4 Mar 2008 23:23

This has been the one trouble-making conduit for about a year, I periodically check to see if it'll work, but to no avail. Seems others have the same issues (after some googling).

Basically, syncing fails once I enable MAL Conduit. Yay.

Great app! Seems to be the best front-end (for compressing) for 7z around... and 7z is super-awesome. It isn't anything close to what's available on Windows (shell integration! so nice...), but its free and it works better than the rest.

That being said, a GUI would be SUPER nice (being able to do things other than through drag & drop). Also, having the app decide if I want to compress/decompress is a bit annoying. I should be able to set a pref so it only tries decompressing for certain formats (so I can recompress a zip or something, for instance).

Oh, and http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/ would be a nice addition too!

Keep up the great work...

7zX 1.6.7
Type: Hint/Tip
Date: 27 Feb 2008 17:06

I figured it out. I was trying to compare compression ratios between 7z and the much faster ZIP, so I had already zipped the pdf. Then 7z tried to expand (i dropped the pdf). Though it didn't actually do any expansion. When I deleted the zip file, it compressed the pdf just fine.

Hm. It works for some. Perhaps they have internal compression that confuses it?

Date: 18 Jan 2008 15:18

Er, I mean, yeah. For some reason I read $40, but even $30 is a lot. And I can still get Transmit for the same price as the upgrade. Not a wise way to keep customers :-\

Type: Comments
Date: 18 Jan 2008 15:11

Yeah, I agree!! $40 for an upgrade that's even buggier than the last release? (Which was already annoying me with the screwed up bookmarks...)

Argh. Time to look at Transmit, which I can buy new for $10 less than the interarchy upgrade O_o

And I'll try to find a copy of Interarchy 8 to use in the meantime.

Sorta like Beatunes, but free...

Though the beatunes implementation is a bit weird. I like how it can automatically assign color tags for me tho... (beatunes, that is)

The prospect of having to go through and actually tag all my stuff by hand keeps me from really going for this though...

Oh, and this latest update has probably the sexiest .dmg I've ever seen.

Seriously.

Given all the mixed reviews that have floated to the top, I just wanted to throw out my two cents... which is that this application is just fabulous! I've been waiting for ages for something that could intelligently help me sort through the chaos of id3 tags and duplicate files that plague my growing-faster-than-I-can-listen-to-or-sort-properly music collection. At times it gives strange results when finding "duplicates", but those are easy enough to ignore, and I'm sure it will improve in future iterations. I'd jump to buy it a bit quicker if it were priced a bit lower (maybe 15?), but I'll probably still end up paying once the trial runs out :-)

Alright. I changed my mind slightly. While this is a partially flawed product as I mentioned before... it is still quite useful when it does recognized installed software correctly. But I don't know if its worth the price... Also haven't tried versiontracker's since they have no free trial like dealios (they should...!)

Decent piece of software... but falls short in serveral critical areas -- the most annoying being recognition of installed applications, and then dealing with this information once it is recognized.

Ugh... Glad my membershipp was free from a promotion...
