great product - Version: 4.24, 7/21/2009 04:58PM PST

Boy I wish all produts were this simple; just a few files on the hard drive, doesn't touch the system or install patches or plug-ins or any other crud, and starts up in less than a second. I have Photoshop CS4 but when I want to whip out a label on my clever little DYMO DiscPainter, I can have a label printed by the time Photoshop has finished loading its 1000 plug-ins etc. Why do products have to evolve into 5000 files spread across 500 folders and are so delicate that the slightest re-arrange means a reinstall and then upgrading endlessly. I love the way Discus does its labeling job fast and easy and is ultimately very simple. I don't label every day and never read manuals so a product has to be simple for my taste and usage patterns.

I give it my highest recommendation.

I have tried most disc labeling programs out there and Discus is by far the best. I have been using Discus since it first came out and have never had a problem. Even though the interface is not exactly Mac like it is still intuitive and does the job extremely well.

Have used Discus since version 2. When I dragged the 4.21 update to Applications, it overwrote 4.20 then wouldn't open. Could not get 4.20 back.
After several download/install attempts (from different sources) I had to reinstall 4.12 from the disk.
The ART file is in the same folder. Tech support has responded but after a couple of attempts to fix the problem the comment was "Yes, that's strange. Log says it seems to be in a loop of some kind." Have not heard from them in two weeks. Anyone have a workaround?
