Always Amiss on One Thing or Another - weasel-boy

I agree. The fact that 1.9.2 had to be released to repair a major bug in 1.9.1 should be reason enough to stay as far away from this program as you possibly can for the next year or so. This is not the first time this thing has been shoved out the door with a major data destroying bug in it.

But it's free.

Always Amiss on One Thing or Another - Pascal Lessard

You are so right, this would never happen to paid software like, say, Intuit's QuickBooks.

Pascal Lizard - MAC_1984

Just as I said, the freebie crowd races to Onyx's defense although they did not read what I said.

Someone's being childish - Pascal Lessard

Nice blast from the past : I feel I'm 7 year old all over again with someone thinking he'll insult me by changing my name ! Woot !

Problem is, that's the only thing "MAC_1984" can do or say, because for the rest I'm totally right and he cannot counter the fact I mentioned. Hence the puerile retort, I guess : the poor thing is vexed !

Now go see your mommy, your diaper is wet !

Utility Versus Financial Application? Oh, Really? - MAC_1984

It is laughable that you compare QuickBooks to Onyx as Onyx is categorized as a utility application, and in this case an OS system utility. Unless Intuit has entered the utility application business and renamed their financial application "QuickBooks" then there is no comparison. However, you are probably thick enough to try to use QuickBooks as such.

Any OS system utility application embodies those very powerful commands that can easily trash your entire OS system, into a user-friendly application for end user convenience. The trouble is that Onyx constantly gets them wrong, and they are usually commands that do more damage than lesser commands as witnessed by others here; eventually, some succeeding version later, he gets them right. Now, when the developer calls it a beta, this is acceptable, as the end user has been warned, but when it is not, and especially in the utility category, it is not as acceptable.

You have no argument, and the half-assed one you present is flawed and false. Now, who needs to run to mommy?

Always Amiss on One Thing or Another - jjjazzz--2008

It's like a Democratic National Debate in here! And just as civilized!
When you use new software, ANY software, there are risks.
Freeware is riskier, but there are exceptions (Adobe, anyone?) and I know that the developer of Onyx is seriously committed to his app. He goofed. He's fixing it. It's free. Lighten up. And mainly: run ANY software at your own risk - that's why that EULA is in the front there. If you have any doubts, just click "disagree" and trash the app. Particularly if you're running a NEW OS like Leopard. Many may think that Leopard is just Tiger with a different skin. Not. There are major path differences and many minor changes that make the development of an app like this extremely difficult.
My constructive advice to Titanium Software would be: don't try to be all things to all users. Do a few things well, and safely. The app has grown is size to where now it weighs as much as Firefox. Slim it down, get rid of the dangerous features, and focus on the Unix scripts that matter most. Sometimes, cleaning out all the cache files in Leopard is NOT the best thing to do. I found this out the hard way.
Word up!
