The good, the bad and the ugly

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

New version seems to have fixed the broken link problem for me _but_ DiskWarrior flagged up a Quay error - the only file among 37,500 on my HD that it found fault with:

"File: "Quay.rsrc"
Detected that the resources overlap and cannot be repaired"

And today, the developer's website seems to have disappeared, hopefully temporarily.

The good, the bad and the ugly - Rainer Brockerhoff

"File: "Quay.rsrc" Detected that the resources overlap and cannot be repaired"
Yes, that's deliberate; the overlap is part of my codesigning scheme. Simply disregard that message. I'll put a notice in the next version to that effect.
As to my website, my ISP had a few hour's downtime due to server migration, it's OK again.
May I ask what you disliked about the software itself, then? :-)

The good, the bad and the ugly - Simon Chapman

I do like the software. I gave it 4 stars for features - and I paid for it! But it seems to be in perpetual beta. I had broken link problems which made the previous version almost unusable (as also reported by others here); and despite your assurance about intentional resource overlapping, I am unnerved by DiskWarrior picking Quay out as the only faulty file on my hard drive. Overlapping must be undesirable therefore. Hence, only 1 star for quality/stability. But I am using it and very much benefiting from its functionality.
