Several bugs and missing feature

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

This program looks real pretty and everything but a very few minutes of use reveals some bugs. I use two monitors in a vertical configuration (which also seems to trip up the nice programmers at Apple) on a Powerbook. Guides either do not appear or appear without the controls so that they can't be moved etc. When horizontal and vertical rulers are displayed, they are perpetually joined with no way to separate them.

I first purchased the ARTIS Screen Tools package which had a different set of bugs. I then popped for the upgrade for an additional fee hoping that the problems would go away, but instead I got a different set of bugs.

If these bugs are addressed it would be a 5-star program, but the obviousness of them makes me wonder how much care went into making the program work correctly versus making it pretty. And the bad experience from upgrading from the older program accompanied by dead e-mail addresses when I tried to complain directly about the older program, along with a confusing dual set of web pages for the older program which is still sold and for xCode, leave me eager to go have a beer. The purchasing experience was not all that easy either.
