Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

This app does have great potential. I hope the author keeps going with it. I was just about to suggest this app, even with its few issues, when it crashed. With the crash added to some of the other oddities, I can't suggest it at this time. Hopefully, future revs will take care of some of the more obvious issues.

PROs:
- Great idea. As soon as I opened the program, I realized how nice this would be to store all my documents. It even gives a handy little way to scan in documents (which does work).
- I love the little magnified preview when you drab your mouse over the document. At first I thought this was some real cheesy novelty but quickly saw the value in being able to get a closer inspection of the thumbnail preview.
- Keyword idea is excellent.
- Easy navigation and simple layout!
- Help manuals included with package (of course in PDF format). Read them.
- Allows for storage to .Mac accounts.
- Like that little "NEW" tag for recently imported PDF files.

CONS:
- Mail interface does not give choice to other popular email clients like Entourage.
- Scanning gives no way to edit scanning preferences. It scans, but I don't know the color or resolution or cropping preferences.
- Keywords are implemented rather oddly. The left hand column of keywords are all different sizes. Very icky feeling.
- Two default settings don't seem to be chosen well:
(1) Auto syncs to .Mac. Must turn this off and delete files from iDisc Documents if you don't want it.
(2) Automatically adds keywords. Deselect this unless you want a bunch of non-relavent keywords for every document you import. Or at least update the automatic keyword selections.
- Still crashes ocassionally.
- Imports should have some progress bar to let you know what is going on. Also, the main/home page doesn't always update after an import.
