Web Snapper 2.2 (Mac OS X)
Seems to be working just as well as Red Snapper did. I was harsh in the past, because Red Snapper was a great, easy to use product.. ..And Web Snapper just didn't perform as well. Now Web Snapper is at the same level of functionality - a button in the Safari bar makes it 1-click simple to capture the whole page [not just the bit you see] and to capture pages that need a password to access. Plus you can change the captured image format, the default save location, etc. Thank you Tasty Apps for making this piece of software a must-have again !! With Web Snapper at this level of functionality, I look forward to hearing about and seeing the Pro version. [alert admin]

Eigenclock 0.3 (Mac OS X)
Although, it's nice to see applications to make life easier and nicer, this application is completely NOT NEEDED. You can copy'n'paste fields in the International preference pane, to put time and date information in the menu bar. Rather than use any software or hacks, using what's built into OSX is my preferred method, and it's what I've used for the last few years. There's information on how to do this at macosxhints.com, including information about this for 10.2 and 10.3.. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050508000838365 [alert admin]

Web Snapper 2.1 (Mac OS X)
There seems to have been some major steps back in functionality for this app. You now have to drag URL to a small, non-expandable window [or the dock item] before you can start downloading a website [the Safari button does not appear, as it used to with Red Snapper]. Apparently, there is a workaround, but I shouldn't need to worry about it. It no longer downloads webpages that have any sort of password access, which it used to do. This makes it pretty pointless for the use of downloading all but the most common webpages. OmniWeb does the job, Red Snapper used to do the job, printing the page from Safari does the job. If you download more than 10 webpages, you get hit with an 'Upgrade to Pro version' message, which costs nearly 3 times the [ordinary] Web Snapper price. There's no mention of this Pro version anywhere, and no explanation of what it can do, and no normal way of buying it. Come on TastyApps, get yer arse in gear !! At this rate, I've got few reasons to use Web Snapper in preference to Paparazzi or OmniWeb or just print pages. [alert admin]

Web Snapper 2.1 (Mac OS X)
Just been using Web Snapper to take screenshots of my router settings and have now had a message about Web Snapper Pro, and can't do anything else with Web Snapper until I reduce the number of captured screenshots !! "The standard version of WebSnapper only permits 10 pages at a time. WebSnapper Pro allows unlimited URLs / multipage PDFs." Clicking an Upgrade button, leads to an upgrade page where Web Snapper Pro costs $22 [rather more than the usual $8]. Not a problem, per se, but am slightly annoyed as no mention of Pro version anywhere that I have seen and no mention of limits in non-Pro version. Obviously [and as stated by the Developer], Web Snapper is a work in progress and more features will be added, but would be good if such things as Pro version and application limits were mentioned. But, application is still very much worth having and makes internet life much easier.. ..Tho, without a Toolbar Button and not always capturing secure websites/transactions, it has its limits - But I expect these to de sorted, as it gets developed.

Web Snapper 2.1 (Mac OS X)
I don't seem to have access to the toolbar button.. ..Even though the plugin is installed, I've restarted Safari, I've looked though the Toolbar Customisation options and I've used the add/remove Safari Toolbar Button menu option. Any suggestions ?? Using Web Snapper via drag'n'drop of URLs works, so no problems using this useful and simple/straightforward piece of software. [alert admin]

Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Mac OS X)
A happy Tiger user, I upgraded to Leopard using Archive&Install with some worry after reading all the problems that people have been having. That went well, apart from permission problems and Mail and Safari not remembering passwords, etc. Just did the update to 10.5.1 and Mail no longer asks for passwords, and my wireless link seems to have a stronger signal. I still can't access my router config page, but that might be fixable [I've only had the update running for about 10 mins !!]. Overall, things look good. [alert admin]

Web Snapper 2.0 (Mac OS X)
Say that i think some of the people on here need to get-a-grip. I've used Red Snapper for as long as it's been around and found it invaluable.. ..The easiest way to capture web site images, especially when filling out forms, etc - as that info isn't always captured by screenshots or screen captures. When Red Snapper vanished from their site, I was like several people and thought them to be overhyped and short-term [like the people behind Disco, really]. When I got in touch, after reading some people's comments on here, I got a response within a few hours - Leopard version on its way. Within a few days, it's been released !! I emailed them this morning about the Red Snapper -> Web Snapper upgrade.. ..And got a reply, and an upgrade license this evening - Pretty good going, I think. I'm not as happy with Web Snapper as I was with Red Snapper, mainly because it's not so quick'n'easy to use.. ..But they have said Web Snapper is still in development, and a Safari Button is due [making Web Snapper as easy to use as Red Snapper was, with more functionality]. Now, I look back at what I've read and I see a company that accepts customer contact, responds quickly and is undergoing changes because of the Tiger -> Leopard transition - like many companies will, if they want to stay in business. I'm not sure what the experience of people on here has been, but it sounds like we're talking about completely different companies !! I don't work for TastyApps, but I am a happy customer and think a comment to balance all the negatives on here is appropriate. It's good software, which does what it's supposed to, and will only get better as time goes by. Read the comments here [all of them] try the software for yourself, contact the company to answer any questions you have.. ..Then make up your own mind and them and their software. [alert admin]

FileSalvage 6.0 (Mac OS X)
I'd like to try the software, but the installation is CRAP. Downloaded the installer.. ..Which accepts my 'Trial' option.. ....Then asks for a password, which, obviously I DO NOT have, as I was TRIALLING the software.. ......And then won't let me do anything else, such as install a trial version of the software. This is CRAP, and means I won't try the software and the company DO NOT get a sale out of me - regardless of what others say about this software. [alert admin]

Yazsoft trying to charge customers for a "free" upgrade!
Hmmm.. ..So who mentioned the free upgrade/update ?? If it was the promo, talk to them. And, to go from v4 to v5 is only about $8 - barely worth worrying about.

Hmmm.. ..Well a far simpler method is to save the email as a .PDF or a .RTF, and use metatags to id the information. If the email is saved as a .PDF, Spotlight will index it for you, you won't need to spend any money and you won't need to run another application. Just my thruppence worth..

Just thought I'd mention that dropping a folder onto the Disk Utility Dock item brings up a dialogue, and creates a .dmg. It's not well mentioned anywhere, but I read about it on another forum, somewhere.

Hmmm.. ..From what I remember, you can use iChat to enter AOL chatrooms. There's no directory as there is for AOL, but I think you can enter a chatroom name and enter that way. Peter
