TechTool Pro 4.6.1 (Mac OS X)
I have just run Tech Tool Pro 4.6.1 on my 10.5.2 internal drive (from an external boot drive) and it reported 'mismatched bitmap' errors in the directory (which it couldn't fix); but Disk Utility and DiskWarrior 4.1 both reported that the disk was fine. To be sure, I used DiskWarrior to rebuild and replace the directory and immediately ran Tech Tool again -- for it to report the same bitmap mismatch error. I ran the other utilities again and they still said the disk was fine. What gives? Is Tech Tool a waste of money? [alert admin]

Mailings 1.9.34 (Mac OS X)
Plain text still broken for me...
I still can't get a plain text message to transmit. When I try to send only plain text (no html) by entering text in either the Plain Text or Preamble window, the received e-mail is completely blank. Has anyone else had/fixed this problem? Really strange since v1.9.34 claims to fix this very problem -- just not for me! [alert admin]

FinderPop 2.1 (Mac OS X)
Strongly recommended for Leopard 
Well worth the wait. FinderPop makes Leopard usable at last. The shortest, quickest and easiest way to navigate files and folders - plus much extra functionality. Strongly recommended [alert admin]

DiskTracker X 2.4b8 (Mac OS X)
Flaky for me under Os 10.5.2 on an Intel iMac... Some disk records disappear from list view and only show up if I reinsert the disk and update the record. Stated volume and directory sizes are also unreliable, eg a 5GB folder shows up as 1GB. Meanwhile, I have none of these problems in version 2.3 on a G4 PowerBook running Os 10.4.11. This is hardly progress. [alert admin]

Quay 1.1b1 (Mac OS X)
The good, the bad and the ugly 
New version seems to have fixed the broken link problem for me _but_ DiskWarrior flagged up a Quay error - the only file among 37,500 on my HD that it found fault with: "File: "Quay.rsrc" Detected that the resources overlap and cannot be repaired" And today, the developer's website seems to have disappeared, hopefully temporarily.

iPaste 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)
Delighted to report that the latest beta of FinderPop co-exists harmoniously with iPaste in Os 10.5.1 and I can now die happy. Guys, if you aren't using iPaste in your Contextual menu, you're wasting your life. [alert admin]

Enfocus PitStop Professional 7.5 (Mac OS X)
Are they seriously launching a new version at the end of 2007 which is not Leopard-compatible? I can only imagine that they have been hamstrung by Adobe's abysmal failure to get Acrobat Professional up to speed. [alert admin]

iPaste 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)
Conflict knocks out Contextual Menu paste
iPaste is the mutt's nuts. I hate floating palettes and I love the functionality that iPaste adds unobtrusively to the Contextual Menu. Trouble is I lose iPaste's CM functions when I have the beta of FinderPop 2.1 active and that's a blow since FinderPop fixes a lot of stuff that Leopard broke for me. I haven't marked iPaste down though because I don't know who to blame for the conflict. [alert admin]

Quay 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Does just what I want it to but not for long enough! Within a couple of clicks after adding Quay folders to the Dock, the first folder, ie whichever is on the left, loses its link. If I do nothing, the second folder will shortly lose its link too, and so on. I get a couple of uses out of a Dock folder before the link corrupts. This makes Quay unusable for me -- even though there's a kludgy workaround, which is to never click on the first folder but just use the others. This is a new iMac 24in with Os 10.5.1. Five stars when it's fixed. [alert admin]

Sonnet Crescendo/Encore 2.0 (Mac OS 9)
running Os9.1 and a Sonnet G3/500 PCI card, this new v2.0 driver is worse than a virus. Every boot either hangs or proceeds only as far as an empty desktop where one alert tells me that the Desktop Folder could not be created and another reports that the Finder has quit.... followed by a spontaneous restart and a vicious loop. In fact, I couldn't even boot up with extensions off so I had to pull the Sonnet card and use an old PPC604e 180MHz card instead to get everything back to rights. What a nightmare! [alert admin]

Hm -- presumably you haven't discovered yet that in 10.5.2 the new and improved dock folders don't allow enclosed folder aliases to resolve - ie you can't keep navigating through an alias?

The good, the bad and the ugly
I do like the software. I gave it 4 stars for features - and I paid for it! But it seems to be in perpetual beta. I had broken link problems which made the previous version almost unusable (as also reported by others here); and despite your assurance about intentional resource overlapping, I am unnerved by DiskWarrior picking Quay out as the only faulty file on my hard drive. Overlapping must be undesirable therefore. Hence,…
