VersionTracker Pro CommentaryOkay Window Options to come to front - Version: 4.5.1, 12/3/2009 05:22AM PST

Jefferis Peterson
When installing items automatically, the biggest annoyance I have is that when the install is completed, the dialog box to say "okay" is hidden behind every window I have open in the finder and I have to hide all other applications and finder windows to find the dialog box. I've searched in vain for a preference to cause it to come to the front, but can't find one.

PLEASE add this feature as an option.

VersionTracker Pro CommentaryCan't They Do ANYTHING Right? - Version: 4.5.1, 11/28/2009 06:43AM PST

Been buying this software since is was started and they have NEVER released a version without multiple bugs (in the Mac or PC versions). Now they send a renewal notice offering special $44.90 two year price. I go to buy it (stupid me) and the price changes to $49.90. When I back out of the purchase screens, I go to complain. Then I note the highest level of Mac OS they reference is 10.5. How ironic a software update tracking business missing this gross error.

I need a product to track my software, but Version Tracker has never been anything but half-baked, and pricey to boot. Someone needs to come-up with an alternative application.
