Apple Mac OS X 10.5.4 (Mac OS X)

OK here, permissions a bit mucked up.

No problem here on an Intel iMac. Check permissions afterwards though, parental controls and some airport stuff go awry, [alert admin]

Freeway Express 5.1.2 (Mac OS X)

Looks good, but with some odd omissions

I'm a total newbie to Freeway, having downloaded the demo of this version when it first appeared. I am an iWeb user, but I'm looking for something that gives me more control over the site and also, and more importantly, generates cleaner, more accessible, more standards-compliant code. Having had a bash with Freeway for about 24 hours, it looks ideal. Except for some very strange weaknesses. 1. No multiple undos. How strange is this? Every modern Mac program I can think of supports multiple undos; most of the non-modern ones do too. If you are like me, you will, in the design stage tend to move elements around at speed, just seeing how things work. You might style things up, adding a tint here, changing a font, adding a drop shadow. And when you realise the result is rubbish, you want to roll back. Except you can't. I'm not going to save the project before making each change, it really slows down work-flow. 2. No graduated tints. OK, this may seem trivial, but it is an example of the kind of simple thing that iWeb does well that Freeway can't cope with: A text box with a graduated tint. I'm not even talking radial graduations. Once I'd discovered those two little problems, my initial extreme enthusiasm started to wane. I'm going to carry on looking through the documention and putting together a site for testing, but I'm not sure if I'll end up using it. [alert admin]

Transmission 1.11 (Mac OS X)

Works faultlessly here, does the job

I've used a number of clients, but I found this a few months ago and heartily recommend it. Simple, yet with enough options to keep me happy, it runs smoothly and effective. Using it on Leopard. [alert admin]

At Least 10X slower on PPC G4 than version 2.11

Why would someone expect an upgrade to run faster? Perhaps because the developer had been talking about how the new version would use OpenGL for faster smoother animation? I have considered the feature set, and apart from the new UI and new plottable items, there don't appear to be that many new features. The one feature I was looking forward too - smoother animation isn't there. It even grinds on this 2Gig core 2…

Doesn't work

Yes, well that'll probably be because this is the desktop client for a Zimbra server. You <i>are</i> running are Zimbra server, I take it?

SOME STUFF WORKS and others stopped working..

You might find it worth downloading the latest WebKit nightly - this replaces the Safari rendering engine with a more recent one - albeit a work in progress one.

Upgrade Policy

You need to get a better PR agency. I just popped in here because this sounded like an interesting bit of software. There are no comments here suggesting that the company indulges in gouging, as far as I can see. So what you have here is a message that sounds - in my opinion - really rather whiny, and alerts people to the fact that some users are unhappy about your upgrade policy. It's…
