Really great utility

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: Mike Fleischner Monday, October 23 2006 @ 02:37 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Well-written app. Very useful and self-explanatory. The only suggestions I have are:

1) I would really like an option to be alerted if I'm overwriting a file that's already at the destination, and given the choice to replace or cancel, like the usual way the Mac handles such things. I don't like having the only options of replacing a file without being warned if it's older or newer, or the file not being sent at all.

2) The interface is a bit obtrusive. It would be nice if it could be hidden somehow and activated when a file is dragged over a much smaller bit of screen real estate.

But those aside, it's definitely a winner. Love the permissions settings feature, among others.

Really great utility - HeikoK

Mike,

1.) The problem with asking what to do is, that this could take forever - the receiver is not necessarily at his desk...ah, okay, it would be possible, but I'm too lazy to implement :-)
I will think about it.

2.) Obtrusive interface: I think kind of minimize-in-place like Unsanity's Windowshade X would be a nice idea. I write that down as well.

Heiko

Really great utility - Mike Fleischner

1) Really? I didn't think it mattered if the recipient was there or not, just like when you try to put a file on their machine using the regular Network Connect... thing. It's up to the sender to say "yes, replace" or "cancel." But I don't know anything about programming, so I'll defer to your knowledge.

2) Cool, that would be great. I've also found that setting the user image size to 17 obviously makes the UI the smallest.

Again, thanks for all the great work.
