Extensis Portfolio 8.1.1 (Mac OS X)
I thought 8.1 did that. One thing I noticed about 8.1 was how much faster it was. And it also fixed a bug where older catalogs that had been used with a beta version of Portfolio 6 (Mac) would not work with later versions of Portfolio (including the shipping version of 6). With 8.1 I can now access all those old catalogs! Still, the best part is speed. It's way faster now. On a Mac Pro it's amazing how much faster it is. [alert admin]

Space Guards 1.1 (Mac OS X)
It's not all that bad. I can see some potential. Though the graphics are a bit crude. The screen is too small and should allow for full screen so your cursor can't jump out of the window. It shows some potential, and could be fun with some more development. Make it smoother, give us more screen to work with and incraease the quality of the graphics and people might buy it.

Call of Duty 1.4b2 (Mac OS X)
The Readme says it's not the final version. It should be mentioned (not in code in the name) that it's a beta. COD is awesome! [alert admin]

DAVE 5.0p1 (Mac OS X)
Dave is not the problem. And anyone who says you don't need Dave doesn't know what they're talking about. Panther is great. It does network with Windows much better than Jaguar. But it still is not good enough to work along in an environment that has a concern for productivity. With Dave and an Applescript I'm up and mounted on all my servers in a few seconds in panther. AdmitMac (which costs the same and is better for AD environments) is even faster! In Panther with AdmitMac my volumes (about 8) mount about 100 times faster than Dave and Jaguar. Try to convince any It department that is mostly MS drones to not go with Dave or AdmitMac is suicide in the corporate environment. They'll just have more motivation to pull the plug on any Mac support. [alert admin]

Ansel Adams Screen Saver 6.0 (Mac OS X)
Honor Ansel Adams' wishes. First of all, Ansel Adams disputed the Interior Department's rights to these photos. But his lawyers weren't as big as their lawyers. And anyone who would produce such sub-standard examples of his work against his wishes only deserves our scorn. Not our money. [alert admin]

Extensis Portfolio X 6.1 (Mac OS X)
in a mixed environment. It is not capable of functioning properly when you use Windows and Mac clients on the same network. Extensis blames DAVE's CIFS networking, and SMB for the problem of the path not being properly updated by the Mac OS X client (it drops the server name and thus the name is not UNC compliant). I told them about this during the beta program months before release. They ignored the problem. This is a critical no-go bug that they could have fixed if they had tried. I'm very disappointed. I have to use the Windows client in Virtual PC to update the paths (create new thumbnails, move the files, update records, etc.) and then do the rest in teh OS X Client. Which by the way is very nice, fast and doesn't crash much at all for me. I really like it, but this critical problem makes it long-term unusable. And the main reason for that is it seems they're more interested in blaming everyone else rather than just making it work. They totally reworked it so it would be a Cocoa client. This could have been avoided. [alert admin]

you still have to log out to upgrade. (Version 2.2). Still, great program, and I like seeing the icons so I can drag windows and icons by proxy. Still learning a lot ofter having it for a month, and loving it. [alert admin]

Adobe GoLive 5.0 (Mac OS 9)
GoLive and DreamWeaver. It's a matter of taste. Good web sites can be built by both. It's great product which integrates better with Photoshop, Illustrator and LiveMotion than Dreamweaber. I don't like Dreamweaver as much. As for boycotting Adobe? Yeah, right. [alert admin]

Well, Extensis fixed one of the two bugs I mentioned. So one to go! They say it's not anything they can do, but is caused by the differences between the way OS X and Windows look at servers. Oh well, a quick Applescript fixes the problem. I installed Portfolio Server 8 about two days ago, and it's working pretty good. No bugs yet that I can see. And the client is much nicer in several ways. Worth…

Huh, that's funny. We've been using Portfolio Server and Portfolio for more than five years. And it's not like I don't have some complaints - which Extensis is well aware of - but I find that when people have problems like the ones described, it's more operator error. Portfolio Sever is a highly robust server where I work. We only have to restart it a couple times a year - not counting upgrades. Portfolio is clearly…

Wish the freaking thing worked... 
Actually, there is an easy fix for the path problem. Extensis' solution is to turn off SMB and use Windows Mac services with a Windows Server. Not a reasonable requirment by a long shot. Mac a Mac ONLY see the Windows servers and no other shares on the network? What were they thinking! But I have a script that fixes it. If you know Applescript, the solution is right there on your computer. Pull down the…
