Encrypt This 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Into the Trash can  

When I drop a file or folder on Encrypt I get this fantastic message http://tinyurl.com/66sdnu OR I get a panel asking for a password and a verification, which I duly fill out, click OK. Then the panel disappears, and the B/W propellor cursor appears... indefinitely. But static, not turning. I.o.w. it hangs, and requires a Force Quit to get out of. But that's all. Nothing else happens. The file or folder is still as accessible as it was before. No panels asking for passwords or anything. Zilch! This is on OSX.5.4 Looks like an Alpha 'release' to me. Using Joe Public as guinea pigs... [alert admin]

BetterZip 1.7.1 (Mac OS X)

This is NOT shareware!  

That's a croc! This is a plain commercial product with a free trial period (30 days) whereafter its features will be severely curtailed (who knows, maybe you won't even be able to get at your own encrypted files anymore... how's that for arm twisting to buy, eh?). At the very least this is 'crippleware'. I don't trust liars. Especially not with encryption! [alert admin]

iAlertU 0.29b (Mac OS X)

Close! But no cigar!  

I can confirm the bugs the others mentioned. Sometimes it does take a picture, sometimes it doesn't. But it never emails it anywhere I told it to. But the show-off is priceless! Cool bling! And I think any thief will remove him/herself post-haste when that siren goes off! Terrific! But the 'Beta' testing has been going on for 2 years now. When will there be a version 1.X ?
