The Print Shop 2.0.5 (Mac OS X)
With this v.2.0.5 and previous version, and iTunes v7.4.1, there seems to be a problem in Print Shop displaying the itunes playlists. I am not seeing my custom playlists at all and the ones that are showing are the default apple playlists like 90's Music, Recently Added, etc. But even those playlists are not accurate and are missing hundreds of titles. Anyone else having this problem. I'm on a 2.16GHz iMac [alert admin]

Background printing can't be turned off anymore
Used to be able to check a box in Print dialog to ensure that webpage backgrounds would not be printed. That option no longer is available to me with OS 10.4.10. Anyone else seeing this? Really sucks when you have to print a webpage that has a totally black background or some other obnoxious pattern. [alert admin]

Boinx FotoMagico 2.1b4 (Mac OS X)
Less Features at Higher Cost. This is progress?
Any company that takes a product, removes features and then comes out with a "Pro" version with the removed features added back in and then charges a whopping percentage increase for it is unethical and a company I will no longer support. while you may be happy with what fotomagico does for you, if you were a longtime user, you'd probably feel cheated. As for it's slideshow capabilities, I much prefer iPhoto and iMovie. Just try to adjust in and out volumes on your music and tell me how well you did. [alert admin]

Boinx FotoMagico 2.0 (Mac OS X)
Stat with 1.8.1 if you have it because 2.0 removes features! 
I hate greedy companies and Boinx is greedy. Why do I say this? Simple... they took a reasonably decent program Fotomagico up to version 1.8.1 then released an "improved" version 2.0 whose major new feature is a standalone player for slideshows. Oh by the way, the "improved" new feature places an obnoxious watermark that plugs Boinx and Fotomagico and to remove it you have to "upgrade" to the "Pro" version for another $30... and that's only for a couple more months at which point the price goes up even higher. So what's the "Pro" version? You'd better sit down for this. The "Pro" version is basically version 1.8.1 but it costs three times as much. Still interested in getting ripped off? The "new" version of Fotomagico, v 2.0 takes away such features that were in version 1.8.1 like Advanced Exporting, the ability to import from Aperture and several other things. Other companies have gone this route of course. Dantz did similar things with Retrospect. Filemaker did the same type of thing with FileMaker and on and on. I don't use Retrospect anymore, nor have I ever upgraded Filemaker beyond version 5.5v2. My advice... if you own 1.8.1, Keep it in a safe place on your computer and get the "free" downgrade to the dumbed down version 2.0. About the only thing you'll notice is supposedly faster thumbnail generation. Make your project in 2.0 and then open it in 1.8.1 to regain the ability to do advanced exporting. Boinx, you've lost a customer. [alert admin]

SoundSource 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Never had a problem with SoundSource on my G4 Quicksilver, OS 10.4.8 until I installed this new version. Now the volume is either full blast or off. I canot adjust volume from Sound Preferences or from menubar. [alert admin]

Gallery Designer 1.0.3 (Mac OS X)
Frames, Tables and HTML = YUK!
Ah yes, taking a giant step backwards in time we find a potentially nifty littly multi-media gallery maker that utilizes such cutting edge design elements as frames, tables and HTML. It does produce a very quick gallery and so for that alone, it's worth looking in to, but it won't win any awards for being up do date in the coding world. [alert admin]

ImageBuddy 3.5.0 (Mac OS X)
Clever product whose usefulness is limited by inability to free rotate iamges.
Image Buddy is a cool little app. What appealed to me most was the ability to create a collage of photos on a single page, apply masks to each photo independently of the other and then be able to print the collage. However I was very disappointed to discover that you cannot free-rotate, or specify increments of rotation other than 90 and 180 degrees. This unfortunately makes it a deal breaker for me... but maybe not for you. The sperately downloadable documentation is very well done and quite complete. Add free-rotate capability and you've got my order. [alert admin]

WeatherDock 2.4.1 (Mac OS X)
Read about it, installed it, love it. Tried using Meterologist and had nothing but problems. Couldn't even add a single city. Threw it away and installed WeatherDock. Works well and is very powerful. Great job to the developers. [alert admin]

RapidWeaver 3.5.0b1 (Mac OS X)
More bugs than a windshield on a hot summer night
This program is NOT ready for prime time. It is bug ridden and has one of the most clunky interfaces you're likely to see. For instance, instead of consolidating preferences into one, multi-tabbed window (to save valuable screen realestate) there are 4 preference panels. This is ridiculous, makes it difficult to remember which preference pane (or inspector as they like to call them) you need to open. The interface has buttons scattered about willy nilly. First you might have to mouse up to the upper left hand corner to click on something, next minute you have to mouse way down to the bottom right hand corner to click on something else. Efficient it IS NOT. Nothing is grouped conveniently, or where you'd expect it to be grouped. This is an app with a lot of -potential- but right now it's more like a play ground for inexperienced programmers. It'll slowly drive you crazy using it. [alert admin]

Griffin Final Vinyl 2.0 (FV227) (Mac OS X)
I had been using Final Vinyl v1.1.2 and was also using ClickRepair to post process the resulting aiff files. All was well until I downloaded and tried Final vinyl v2.0. Now Click Repair cannot open the resulting file. It reports an encoding error and says the the encoding method used is "twos" when only "swot" is allowed. Is it any coincidence that "swot" is the reverse of "twos"? I don't know what the deal is here, but I have to revert back to FinalVinyl 1.1.2 to get files that ClickRepair will be able to utilize. Any ideas about this? Is this perhaps a bug in Final Vinyl? [alert admin]

I actually discoverd that the problem was that I had several iTunes playlists and Print Shop was by default selecting the "original" itunes playlist that I had. Simply renamed my preferred playlist folder and problem solved.

To clarify, the volume does not work for my headphones. Using the External Speakers output the volume works normally. But when I have my Telex USB Audio Device (headphones/mic) hooked up and selected, the volume slider has no effect except to turn off completely or full blast.

Nice App - Warning about Privacy
I agree that privacy should be the default, not the other way around. With that as the only fault, I must say that Galerie is a pretty amazing program and it is free. Nice. But I do have some concerns about the privacy aspect of the galleries.

Can't retrieve mail after applying update
No I did not apply any other updates other than the Java update. I restarted 2 or 3 times and rebuild permissions too. I simply didn't work until the next morning then all was fine. REally really bizarre. It might have just been a coincidence but the fact that I had checked my mail successfully right before running software update and installing the java update makes it seem like it was the update that caused…

Can't retrieve mail after applying update
I agree that it doesn't seem to be related to the update but it's actuall6y 4 different mail servers and there is no way that all 4 were down at the same time. Mysteriously however, all mail accounts are working as expected t his morning. Quite strange.
