~HELL  Well, exactly right. This has to do with Flickr itself. You are going to have to do that in every app you use with Flickr from now on. Thank you very much.

Quicksilver

~HELL  I simply couldn't work without Quicksilver any more. At first I did not really grasp the main idea behind it apart from being a launcher app. But as I dug deeper into its functionality, I barely work without touching Quicksilver every couple of minutes to find, launch, play, move, copy, whatever anything.

Excellent software! This shows why the Mac is so great.

~HELL  Abolutely fabulous. I wonder how I ever worked without it. I need to call tons of people every day and this helps me out so much.

If you have to deal with a lot of contacts, this tool is definitely for you. Give it a spin, you won't be disappointed! Plus, it's very reasonably priced.

~HELL  e2Sync can severely mess up (and by that I mean destroy) your contacts. It is also way overpriced and always was. However, the bang-for-your-buck ratio has been dumped to near zero by the new Office 2004 update that supports Spotlight and iSync.

Now Microsoft supports Entourage-iSync capability out of the box. Look at www.microsoft.com/mac and download the 11.2.3 update or run your Office 2004 Update Wizard.

~HELL  These guys are basically ripoffs. I paid for the software and never got any updates. Okay, it's beta software but you would expect a final version sometime, wouldn't you?

Also, the developer does not reply to e-mail. Ever.

Stay clear, I warn ya!

FATTY MCFATASS  This program has so many flaws that should simply not exist. For instance, if you press the space bar as your first typed character in the text entry box, it sends SOMETHING, i'm not sure what, to the world you're connected to. It shows up on the world I use as an invalid command. Once again, this is simply from pressing the spacebar as the very first key in the text edit box.

Additionally, it does not support background colours in text highlighting, for some reason.

The betas will nag you, even if you're registered, every time you open it, to update. We don't need to be harangued to update -- do you want to deter people from using your betas and finding bugs? These nag screens do that.

The regular expression support is bafflingly incorrect. The simplest regular expressions behave like some kind of Bizarro world regular expression, evaluating pieces of the wrong lines, weird results. Your guess is as good as mine. ANd these bugs have been in this program for ages.

Last of all, the interface is an atrocity. What is this? OS 9?

I'm a registered user simply because everything else out there is WORSE than this.

I wish the author would fix existing bugs before adding new features.

What is being sent? Did you make space an alias? Please send a bug report.

How so? When using ANSI codes?

You are not required to reregister. The betas are menat to time out in 30 days, so that old copies of outdated Savitar betas will not clutter up the net when the final releases. The release notes clearly talk about this, and point out that if you are not comfortable with doing beta tests, you should not be using beta. (Savitar at this writing is not in beta).

Regular expression support was released less than a year ago. (Savitar is 7+ years old). Again, please file bug reports. I am very responsive to bug reports, as you may find out on Savitar's conference board (http://www.heynow.com/Savitar)

No, it's a PowerPlant application that's carbon compliant. It runs on Classic and Mac OS X.

Please file bug reports / feature requests if you wish to be effective. Savitar has been in bug maintance mode since 1.3.0 released. The chances of me stumbling on your "reports" here, on a review, are kinda slim.

Thank you

NAMAN  Heh. I tried Savitar. I use Cantrip, which is free, and works fine, despite a couple of bugs. It does more than Savitar would, and it messed up a lot less.
