Folder Icon Maker ReviewAlmost there - Version: 2.0, 12/10/2009 07:06PM PST

Every time I reopen it, it forgets where the last window was. Also, be default it uses the old-style folder icon from Tiger instead of Leapard. You can change it by selecting a Leopard icon in the finder for the folder background, but it forgets that every time you close and reopen it even if you click that default button afterwards.

Also, the sound it makes when you copy to clipboard is REALLY annoying and there's no option to turn it off. Speaking of options, there are no preferences for these sort of things so you are pretty much stuck with this. There should be more options for these sort of things.

It would be great if it also could create icons from jpeg files and stuff. The interface is lacking somewhat for options, but otherwise I really like how simple it is.

What I do like about it is you can drag icons around, but I don't like that you can only make them smaller, I wish you could enlarge the icons you put on the folders.

The huge problem though is it doesn't remember how you last set up the background folder and stuff. If those glaring problems, plus a way to turn off that awful copy sound, etc. were done I'd rate this much higher.

I have tried the rest, and while this is not the best (haven't found that one yet), it is clean, easy, and quick. It works very much like the tool I once used in OS 9. I don't need the Quark Xpress of Icon tools, I just wanted a TextEdit. IT WORKS VERY WELL IN THIS MODE! Love it. I wish it did a few more things, but I am not complaining. The price is right. A few interface bugs appear from time to time, but they are visual only. Just ignore them. The final icon will still be fine.

If you have tried to register any NiteOwl products, you may have noticed the very unhelpful, "please go to http://www/kagi.com/" like going to one of the largest e-commerce software sites would somehow magically transform you to the exact page necessary. I tried in vain to actually find the specific page with no luck and even broke down and contacted the developer WITH NO RESPONSE! I could not believe that they did not want to get paid. So, years and months later, tired once again of the nag requests, I went looking again. Kagi now has a new search engine that makes it easier to find products from the main page. It still wasn't easy, but I finally found the page. Here it is: http://order.kagi.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?storeID=NME
