![]() ![]() I might check on it a bit later, or at version 9, you never know, but for now, no. Granted I need two software to do what PF was doing all on it's own, but for stability and speed, I decided to leave PF. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also liked the dropstack feature, which still works in v8, but now I'm using Yoink to do the same. Stability with version 8 is still an issue if you look at the forum so I removed it completly from all my computers and either use the finder, or if I want two panel browsing, which was one of the nice feature of PF, I now use Forklift. Granted, in 7 it was a hack and they wanted to be a good Apple citizen so now they go by the rules, but for people who have used the software for while, this was a big issue. You were talking about synching favorites from the Finder to PF, well, in version 7, it worked, in 8 it doesn't. This is all good in theory, but in practice, well, not so much. With version 8, they decided to start from scratch to get with Apples new way of doing things under the hood and make a more modern version of their software. I've used PF since version 4 I think until version 8 came out. Hi I'll give you MY perspective on PF, but YMMV. I could continue with plusses and minuses and I think this is enough to launch a conversation if this community is willing. An interchange that strengthens my concerns for this software. Someone pointed this out suggesting that the menu option for that be greyed until it works rather than taking the time for everyone to discover it newly and Jordon, the only moderator I've seen, said that's a good idea and will pass it on. There seems to be a current issue with the Apple Mail functioning not working. Others using DF and PF? How's it working? I also see some KM macros here so that'll help as well. There seems to be some Default Folder integration which is good as I'm a big fan. This says (to me) there is a low regard/respect for people's time or maybe this is a lower quality team managing this software or maybe they're up to their limits working on their current tasks or any number of other possibilities. There seems to be no versioning documentation that allows for seeing what has been fixed nor is there any listing of current known issues so a number of folks are rediscovering the same issues. Part of having this discussion is for me to see if I'm going to jump in and take the initial setup time needed to give this a fair trial or not. Why ask this here rather than just do it and see you may wonder. If I create a PF tag called TOL will it see the Finder tag and show the Finder items tagged TOL in PF or will I have to retag every item and if so are there shortcuts for doing so? I've posted (this morning but the post hasn't yet cleared moderation) on the PF forum asking "Can I bring current Finder setup over or do I have to recreate from scratch? If so how? Specifically, my sidebar Favorites, Smart Folders, and Tags?"Īfter reading a good number of PF Forum posts (mostly about PF 8.3.7 not 8.3.8) I take it that the answer is there is no Finder sync and that that will all need to be redone from scratch.Ī question not yet posted is do the PF tags "connect" or sync with the Finder tags? Ex. I'd be onboarding with MacOS 10.14.2 and PF 8.3.8. Without malice or any intent to diminish in anyway (I am looking to buy, support, and use the software) I'm asking for any feedback from this KM crew on their experience with PF and their take on the support given users at PF, longterm outlook of the product, and overall take on the quality of the app, plus anything else anyone would like to share. Posting here as I see some KM folks pretty deeply invested in PF and this is the best forum for getting a well informed respectful slice of views.Ĭonsidering getting onboard with PF for a few features it seems to offer, HOWEVER, after reading the PF forum it seems there's a number of unresolved issues with some "basic" functions that has some longtime users riled and one even wondering about the longterm commitment of the authors. ![]()
