![]() The reason I use Interarchy is because I can start a mirror with 1 click in the menu bar and I'm done - no dialog boxes to click through. I suppose if I wanted to mirror on a schedule, Yummy FTP would be just the ticket. Yummy FTP provides fast, accurate & flexible mirrors, but doesn't provide 1-click mirrors, although mirrors can be scheduled to execute automatically. Fetch is reliable, but does not offer a way to exclude files from mirror operations. Mirrors are fast and reliable using Forklift itself, but I haven't found a way to get 1-click mirroring. Forklift is wicked fast, but the "Syclet" doesn't reliably pick up changes in local files as of the current version, v2.0.5. Why? While Transmit has great looks and features, it's *way* too slow in transfers/mirrors. I'm currently in the midst of major revisions to the company website (168 files/folders in the remote directory, not counting subfolders/image files), and of the FTP clients I've accumulated over the years (Transmit, Forklift, Fetch, Yummy FTP, and Interarchy), Interarchy is the tool of choice for mirror operations. There are too many bugs for me to recommend anyone buy this product, even at the tempting price of $20 (see my comments elsewhere on the price). Very frustrating for him, I'm sure.īut (and switching back to the other side), it's even more frustrating for his customers who have paid for a working product - or, at least, a certain level of usability - and have not been communicated with. The MAS approval process has increased that delay. Matthew, after hearing in November (?) about the MAS, chose to delay the release of any update so that it could be released simultaneously in the MAS and on his website. Playing the Devil's advocate, I understand some of the delay is due to the Mac App Store. I sent Matthew a screencast (at his request) to demonstrate the issues marked above by (3) however, he has not responded to me in nearly a month - even when I sent two additional messages. ![]() (4) Also different than the Finder, although Matthew hasn't commented. ![]() (3) It's particularly frustrating to me that Matthew insists that these behaviors reflect the Finder's behavior, when that is clearly not the case. (2) This has been fixed, probably by a reinstall of the operating system. (1) Although Matthew's first comment was "I don't comment on future releases," he did indicate that these would be fixed in the next release. Preferences for selecting columns to view is missing. Save/Save As don't do what (this) user expects. (3)īugs that otherwise affect my use of Interarchy: This is different than the Finder's behavior, where all items *in* the selected directory would become selected. In column view, selecting a directory followed by "Select All" results in all items in that directory's column to be selected. Quick Look (and preview) doesn't work on remote servers. Double-clicking a file to rename doesn't do an appropriate word-select. Renaming a file selects the whole name, including the extension. Using HITextField for the address control causes text to shift when moused into. Duplicating a file leaves the original selected, rather than the copy. (4)īugs or behaviors that slow down my use of Interarchy: Right-clicking on a selection of multiple files/folders deselects all but one. Copying a file by dragging from the window to a background tab copies the file to the wrong directory. ![]() File/folder creation occurs in unexpected directories. Double-clicking a folder attempts to download the folder, instead of opening it. ![]() (2)īugs that require I change how I use Interarchy: I consider an bug to be serious if it affects my use of an application however, here are some bugs that cause crashes: I then had the opportunity to give him what I believed to be a complete list of those that I found, which include several more than I noted in my review on on NovemI give you those here: Early in February I asked Matthew Drayton, the developer of Interarchy, what his timetable was for fixing the bugs which remained in the application. ![]()
