This version (2.1) still has a bug where the menu command Create Horizontal Guide or its equivalent, Shift-Command-H, does nothing. I reported this during 2.1 beta testing but they've released it anyway, with the bug. This product seems like something that someone hires contract programmers for from time to time--just guessing. And yes, what were they smoking to set the price this high.

Totally agree with the previous review. xScope is an indispensable tool for my job of UI design. The new "Dimension" tool is something I've wished I had in the past many times.

I highly recommend the product and this update.

When it comes to design work (web/graphic) xScope is my most used utility.
Overall my workflow would not be as smooth or efficient without it.
The new version is worth the upgrade price for 'Dimensions' alone.

Excellent work.
