NoteMind 1.5.9 (Mac OS X)

Not impressed with support  

On the very first two files I created, NoteMind saved the files (binary, non-SQL) once, then could not save again. Upon opening the files, I got an alert that there was a problem with the format. In short, the files are toast. But the icing one the cake is the Synium support forum. At the time of this writing, the thread about lost data has no response by the developer, yet the forum is populated with the developer's comments about Apple's announcement, and about Randy Newman being on stage. I guess Randy Newman is more important than taking care of paying customers. [alert admin]

MacMsgViewer 1.0a4 (Mac OS X)

Does not work at all.  

Not that it doesn't work somewhat ... it doesn't work, period. Sad, because it's a necessary application in some Microsoft-Windows-heavy environments. [alert admin]

Process 2.0.2 (Mac OS X)

Has potential, but cannot recommend now  

Process has some great potential, but also carries with it some serious bugs and major shortcoming: for example, it can actually destroy an external Word document. There are features I like over Omni Outliner, but since Omni seems to stay in business, I'll switch anyway. I hate to say it, but it seems another Macintosh developer has gone out and gotten a "real" job and left what could be a great program to languish. Jumsoft, if you read this, please donate your code to open source or sell it off, if you won't support it. Granted I don't expect a version 3 in November with 2.0.2 released in July, but multiple crash reports and many e-mails with issues that *break data* should be met with some kind of response. This is not an expensive program, but nonetheless, I've wasted my money. [alert admin]

Bee Docs' Timeline 1.51 (Mac OS X)

Suffers from lack of attention  

Be aware that this product has not had any serious update in a long, long time. It does what does okay, but for the price, one should expect more effort from a non-free software developer. [alert admin]

Duplicate Catcher 1.3.2 (Mac OS X)

Seems Ambrel is out of business  

I came to look after over a year to see if it had been updated -- I had some correspondence with the developer, as I had turned this (paid-for) application loose on some 300,000 files. The identification component worked well, but the removal was a pain, relative to the actual selection and deletion. The developer said it would be looked at (this was the fall of 2005). Now AmbrielSoftware.com seems out of business. Sigh. [alert admin]

Forty-Two DVD-MP Plus 2.4.4 (Mac OS X)

Pathetic version control  

Perhaps six months ago I wrote them about the same issues below. I was sent an attachment with the latest version (note the last bullet) and a promise to fix the site; but they still have not addressed these issues. To see what I mean, take a look the product page, then note the following:

  • The gray version at the left says 2.3.2.
  • The current version at the right says 2.3.4
  • The download you get with the top link is filename 232, but a Get Info says 2.3.1
  • The download you get with the bottom link is filename 233 -- it expands to 244 -- and its version number is 2.3.1
  • An “About” of the one I already have says 2.3.1 (2.4.3) -- whatever THAT is supposed to mean
  • Dragging the result of the bottom button's download over the one they sent me says mine is newer, yet mine is six months old
Fortunately their software seems to work. Had I known about this numbering fiasco I would never have purchased it. How can developer who has such shoddy version control make reliable software??? [alert admin]

Deleting files problem  

Something is wrong with your or your system. I've been using this since it was released and turn it loose on huge libraries, and have never had a problem other than that Futura font bug. That said, I think Graphic Converter makes a better Finder thumbnail).
