Why would anyone want to pay for this? - farlander
My understanding is that if a feature is added and advertised - it has to work. If it doesn't - what does it tell you? I pretty much feel like I have just thrown away 25 bucks, because it's not doing what it said it would. But then again, 25 bucks for a shell, which doesn't do anything other than executing GPL-licensed command line utilities? WeatherPop is an original work from the ground up - 8 bucks, NetNewsWire - $25, et cetera, that I can understand, but here? MPEG2 Works can't even determine a file type, for the chrissake! If you want to join a bunch of AC3 files, for example - it'll merge everything there is in the subdirectory: text files, video files, you name it! Could have at least asked for a filename extension... It doesn't look like a lot of thought went into this. Certainly not worth $25. For a freeware tool I wouldn't even mentioned any of this.
