Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Fun potential, but still needs some work. I love the automatic export to html, but not everyone wants to post their lovable apps on the net and right now that's the only option you have other than printing it. Would be nice if you could automatically save as some kind of file like a PDF that you could distribute to friends. Every time I tried to print as a PDF the programmed crashed (gave up after four times.) I was able to export to html, drag the file into Safari and then save the page as a PDF and that worked fine and it included all the links, but it would be ideal to automate all those steps. Also, I don't like that the title of the printed list is the name of your hard drive (or administrator id?). There seems to be no way to alter this than to change the name of your administrator ID. That's a hassle no one needs. Also, I'd like to be able to change the name of the app. For example I wanted to add a plugin, but all I can access is the installer file and it includes the words "Chax Installer" for example. Would be great if I could edit the name and get rid of "installer." Anyway, right now I don't think the program is ready for primetime, but with a few tweaks I think it has potential to be a fun app that lets you share you favorite apps with the world.

Thanks very much for the feedback. I pretty much agree all around with your thoughts and suggestions.

1) Printing to PDF is not supported, but it should be. I definitely plan on including this in the future, and it is an oversight that printing is not disabled completely. As you point out, opening in Safari and then printing to PDF from there is a workaround... but kludgy at best.

2) It is your login name that is included as the page title, not the name of the drive. You can edit this by removing it from the generated html, but it would be much better to just allow a title to be defined.

3) The program stores the path to the application, and then derives things like name, icon and version number on the fly, so that's why those things aren't editable by default. I will consider looking into overriding the defaults on an application by application basis.

Again, thanks for your suggestions.
