This is broken - Version: 2.4b8, 2/27/2008 08:23AM PST

Flaky for me under Os 10.5.2 on an Intel iMac... Some disk records disappear from list view and only show up if I reinsert the disk and update the record. Stated volume and directory sizes are also unreliable, eg a 5GB folder shows up as 1GB. Meanwhile, I have none of these problems in version 2.3 on a G4 PowerBook running Os 10.4.11. This is hardly progress.

When are they going to update the ancient UI? - Version: 2.4b6, 1/26/2008 12:00AM PST

I love this program for its simplicity and speed, have used it for years now, but when...GOD WHEN...are they going to upgrade the UI to current Mac standards? I appreciate the beta updates, for stability, but I'm really really REALLY tired of the crunchy "classic" font display and lack of icons. Even their website looks like it stopped somewhere in 1998. Hopefully there's a version 3 in the works?

Doesn't open in Panther - Version: 2.4b5, 12/12/2007 11:09AM PST

The latest version doesn't launch in Panther (10.3.9). It has no problem in Tiger, however, the computer we do our archiving on needs Panther on it. Maybe later we'll give this a shot.
