ExactScan 2.7 (Mac OS X)

Bad upgrade  

Do not install this version (2.7). Some serious bugs. Has rendered the application - and thus my scanner - unusable. 2.6 was stable and very good. [alert admin]

OmniWeb 5.9.1 (Mac OS X)

Wonderful browser  

This OW version is fast, stable, more pleasing to the eye than all the others. Just as fast as Safari 4. Have come back to it after Safari 3 and 4 and a fling with FF - it's just a joy to use. So good to be rid of those vile new S4 tabs and not to have to worry about the constant struggle of up-dating the plug-ins. Have been a paid-up user for years and don't give two hoots if it is now free. [alert admin]

LaunchBar 5.0 beta 3 (Mac OS X)

Essential piece of software  

Not sure where the previous reviewer is coming from but in my experience, with well over 100,000 documents on my drive, Spotlight is virtually useless. Being able to locate key folders and documents almost instantly, without having to scroll through endless lists is just "expected behaviour" from this fantastic application. Now, with all the other add-ons - access to the Services menu in particular - makes this the very first application I install during a clean system install. Wouldn't run a Mac without it.

Leap 1.0.3 (Mac OS X)

Simply wonderful application  

Personally I have always found Spotlight searches to be time-consuming and poor. Leap has literally changed the way I file and find things. Have dumped all my registered note-collecting apps (DevonThink, EagleFiler, Yojimbo, and the list goes on) and am running with Leap + tags + Finder. Absolutely wonderful application, well worth the money. The lads are still polishing off the sharp edges and communicate really well. [alert admin]

ExactScan 2.0.3b (Mac OS X)

OK software - poor website/purchasing experience  

This is the only way to run the great AVision scanners on the Mac. The latest betas work well with 10.5.1. Pretty utilitarian interface but great scanning options. Tried to buy the software on their website today but all the pages dealing with the actual purchase are in German - not much help. If you do battle through it all, the actual order fails - taking you to the German PayPal site without registering your data. Thus impossible to buy. Pity. Guys you need to clean this up a bit. And translate the Store pages into English. [alert admin]

XMIND 2008 2.2 (Mac OS X)

Looks good, but export options pretty useless  

Trialled this for a week or so and actually really like. Great layout of maps, lot of very neat automatic options. A bit Windows-like in many ways but tolerable. What *really* lets it down are the export options. From pdf, to rtf and beyond, all pretty useless and ugly. Once this gets updated, this will really represent a serious alternative to NovaMind and MindManager. [alert admin]

Rumours and rumblings out there. ? purchased by Apple and to appear at some stage in iTunes. Live in hope. Would be wonderful. [alert admin]

Audio Hijack Pro 2.8d1 (Mac OS X)

Working well here  

Works fine under Leopard here. At least it works - now that Volume Logic has been discontinued. Steve J [alert admin]

Volume Logic 1.3.2 (Mac OS X)

VOLUME LOGIC DISCONTINUED FOR LEOPARD!!  

Well, installed Leopard tonight, fired up iTunes and found that Volume Logic was not working. Came to VT and noted that the developer had signed Volume Logic off as 10.5 OK. So reinstalled. Still not luck. Mailed the company and have just been informed (barely one month after having purchased it) that: "Sorry, no. VL has been discontinued." Feel distinctly ripped-off. So, folks, do not buy this. A real pity. Was a wonderful add-on to iTunes. Back to Audio Hijack Pro. Steve J [alert admin]

setting the tag of a file  

"If you add two or more tags they must be separated by an underscore: tag1_tag2_tag3." You only need the _ if you want a tag with 2 strings, like "holiday photo". Just use a space to separate tags.

Unfulfilled potential  

Problem is that E2004 has even more annoying bugs than Daylite. Simply infuriating that, after 3 years and undoubtedly countless notifications, the MacBU has not fixed them nor really improved the user experience. Daylite, despite its numerous shortcomings is still pretty damn neat. Have used them both extensively over the past few years as they are the only 2 real options on the Mac for decent PIM. Can toleratate E2004 for…

I've used it for years and I have to humbly disagree with the Mac User below my comment  

Well, I've had the opposite experience. Had to uninstall QS after endless crashes and finally a spinning ball which consumed CPU and went on endlessly. I cannot remember LB crash - ever. This on multiple machines over many years.

Unstable  

Took Marketcircle under an hour to get back to me and sort out what was happening. Great service. Sill conflicting with other OSX bits but should be sorted. Steve J

Entourage and Tiger and Treo 600/650  

DayLite has a similar problem with the Treo 650. Check out www.marketcircle.com under support. They have a segment on the subject. Seems to be problematic with more than 3000 Contacts. SJ
