Update flood

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Although this is still alpha software and unlikely to be considered stable enough for regular use by anyone yet, I would question the value of mentioning every tiny little update on VersionTracker, since each one seems to break two things for every one thing it fixes. We've had some 4 or 5 new versions in the past couple of days, each one just to fix a new bug in the previous update. Probably wouldn't hurt to have a few people test each update rather than immediately releasing each build.

By the way, I don't want to give the wrong impression here. I think this is a really nice implementation of virtual desktops. I've been exploring it lately and very much looking forward to a stable version because I really like it, and it's actually only a couple issues away from being usable.

Although I can't wait to see what Apple has done with Spaces, it remains to be seen whether it will have the same level of control and flexibility as VirtueDesktops. It doesn't have all the features of CodeTek VirtualDesktop Pro, but in many ways I think it's quite a bit more elegant and Mac-like than CodeTek's implementation. I would encourage people to try it out, get involved on the forum, and post any issues to the tracker.

VT Pro - Ilgaz

There are many people who uses Versiontracker Pro on their systems so it is the idea why every update should be posted to Versiontracker by developer.

It is how versiontracker works for 10 years , it is the idea behind the system.

Of course Application's built in update system may notify but imagine you have 5 Macs at home having Virtue Desktops installed. Thats when VT Pro does its job.
