POS - do not install until it is stable - not ready for prime time!

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

As in can't quit - even when I dump the prefpane, my disks do not show up on my desktop again!

great idea - but it is worth exactly what you pay for it.

You show a lovely illustration of what "quit" looks like - but it doesn't show up in the menu or in the dock.

And if I have "show in dock" selected, when I "command tab" to switch my applications, I now also have to contend with my 10 volumes.

I liked the idea... but truly do not like the results.

YOU (GREG WESTON) DO NOT GIVE ANY INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET RID OF THIS ONCE IT IS INSTALLED!!!

There really are two parts to an application - install and delete. You missed one bit.

POS - do not install until it is stable - not ready for prime time! - GWeston

Let's see:

1 star for price, on a product that's free?
1 star for quality/stability, on a product that does exactly what's described and for which you gave no examples of instability?
1 star for support, when you never made any attempt to actually get support?
1 star for ease of use, apparently because the documentation doesn't explicitly state that you turn the service off by unchecking the checkbox you used to turn it on?

For the second one-star rating you left five minutes after this one, complaining that when you got rid of Volumizer it didn't put your disks back on your desktop:

That's because it didn't take them off of your desktop in the first place. It can't. You did that, via Finder's preferences window.

If the "two parts to an application" are install and delete, where's the bit where it actually runs and does its job?
