Shoebox 1.7.1 (Mac OS X)

Pre-release software... your data is not safe with it  

apart from stability problem (the app would crash randomly and loose the data you had entered during the session), the missing -- but advertised -- backup feature and the UI bug... this application just breaks down when you try recovering from a backup. I just updated to leopard, after backing up all the system, my photos and taking care of saving Shoebox database and preferences. After a reinstall, shoebox is unable to reuse the saved database... it just lost the tag data and backup info of 30'701 photos I had catalogued in it. I already emailed their support 3 times in 4 months with no replies. This is not worth 30$, not 70$, I won't even recommend it as a free software... even if I was quite positive about it when I first tried it... [alert admin]

yaced 22.0.50 (CVS20050508) (Mac OS X)

GREAT  

I had the Enanced Carbon Emacs before, but it was not working on Tiger. So I decided to find a new version, I first tried Aquamacs, but it was opening windows everywhere, changing my configured fonts with really bad colours. I could have configured it, but after 10mins of nightmare (<i>Aquamacs moved the meta and alt key, no way to get a ~ or an @ from my laptop<i>), I installed YACE. And YACE is GREAT, it does accept my old ECE configuration with no problem, runs fine and even come with a LaTex importer for spotlight!!! <b>Go for it.<b> [alert admin]
