Great concept but not yet ready for prime time. After only a few minutes came across basic functionality issues. For example, refused to import .tif files until I changed to .tiff. No way to empty trash from within program. Basic functionality. I'm inclined to buy but don't want to spend a lot of time importing, organizing, etc., only to come across a game changer....

Used to use it but found "pixa" which is my opinion is better (more functionnalities, more frequent updates, etc)

I found that this application RECOPIED my photo files to a new folder on my hard drive. Before I knew it I was getting messages that my startup drive was nearly full. I terminated the program operation, then deleted the program and the new photo folder.

The Macupdate Promo page erroneously lists min req as OS X 10.6.8, even though ttat is not the case on this page. https://deals.macupdate.com/deal/14640/11708/sparkbox Peculiar.

Just bought the app (v 1.2) after 2 days of testing (I do webdesign during my spare time so have a lot of pics, icons, etc) Great app, especially for the (discounted) price. Really like the "search by color" functionality. However, there's room for improvement: - Would be great to have the possibility to restrict/filter the "search by color" functionality to tags or categories (ie. if I'm looking for a blue background picture I don't want to see my blue icons, blue screenshots, etc) in the search results. - App should detect duplicated pictures. Currently, if I import a folder 2x (ie. because there's new pictures), existing pictures would be duplicated. - App should support more file format (ie. psd, etc)

Good idea, but (for me) not perfect. Cons: - Copies all images instead of only linking them => I want keep my folder structure (i.e. my work for customers) - Shows no EPS or WMF - Drag and Drop a lot file from the finder failed, because the app window wasn't shown after switching (perhaps a Mac OS bug) The rest is well done, but I can't live with the cons above, so no buy!

Version 1.2 is incompatible with 10.6 contrarily to what is written. It is 10.7 only.

Hey Rick, Sorry for this inconvenience. We're sorry 1.2.1 does not support 10.6 anymore as the requirement stated in Mac App Store. We'll modify the mistake in the requirement description, and you could download the 1.1.0 version to run on 10.6 from the following location: http://www.icyblaze.com/sparkbox/sparkbox_1.1.0.dmg

Today's 50% off sale of this application still lists OS X 10.6.8 or later as a requirement. Well, I'm still using Snow Leopard (I'd have to buy a newer iMac to up grade OS's.). When I downloaded this application's demo, it's icon displayed the “do not enter” slice-through-the-circle badge clearly letting me know it does NOT run on 10.6.8. Shows to go you that you should never buy an application without first seeing if the demo works. My reply to M-Rick's comment is 1 month later, and this app is still showing that it's compatible with 10.6.8. Why?

Nice idea, but not quite ready. Works promptly for the supported formats, but does not currently support EPS files. So cataloging my large vector clip art file is not available. I haven't used yet to catalog images, but the idea of making another copy of them is a definite negative.

Thanks for the feedback, the requirement of supporting .EPS file is passed to our developers, We'll see we could manage to add the feature in the close upgrade.
