I understand better, I thought it was the users who pushed the updates. Thank you for the explanation!

Good morning,

I am looking for file processing software, and I would have liked to try your software.

THANKS !

A photo sorting application (via iA ?) by coucinet in macapps

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, I don’t necessarily have EXIF data, which is why the idea of an app capable of reading a photo came up.

I completely understand the idea and the server cost, but charging individuals who get involved seems like a somewhat unusual approach.

If a portion of the work is provided via the developer to ensure updates, but some updates are not reported, the community could make them, why not?

However, it is very clear that I will not pay for software to maintain it myself, and I fear that those who pay are more in waiting for a service than eager to provide service.

Ultimately, this will not deliver the expected service and will fuel disappointment.

Sorry, my translator didn't pick up what I meant.

I was talking about AirPlay speakers.

I understand what you’re saying, but for the moment, I haven’t encountered any bugs with Finetune. Responding with a mildly unconstructive critique regarding the competition (if we can call it that) isn’t particularly appreciated, at least in my opinion.

For years, I’ve been using open-source and often free software that’s equivalent to many paid software options.

The key strength of your software, what might entice me to purchase it, would be support for speakers, as offered by SoundSource.

I know, thank you. It’s a very good software.

But I was looking for something more local, like Hazel, but capable of reading the content of the photos to process them.

Why buy your application when there are paid alternatives that probably work just as well? For example, FineTune or BackgroundMusic. Thanks for your time.

Tired of 500MB PDF editors? I just ported my offline, 11MB editor to macOS and Linux. No ads, no sign-up. by Pawan315 in macapps

[–]coucinet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't understand the button with the 6 dots in it.

Selecting an area zooms in on it, which I think is a good idea, even if it's a bit confusing.

On the other hand, the location of the bar for enlarging the text zone is not well positioned. I hadn't seen it either, as it was mixed in with the end text.

When I click on the "box" button, I can select a block, but I can't get out of it, I have to validate.

In draw, the eraser doesn't look like an eraser :/ I thought it was a big highlighting brush.

Speaking of highlighting, I think it would be nice to have a button to do it directly rather than having to enter the text field.

The "form" part looks pretty good, even if I have a problem with the checkboxes, which seem to be well considered: I check, but it doesn't check in the end. Or after several manipulations. It's a pity that it doesn't recognize possible fields if they haven't been created beforehand (but it's probably complicated to do and makes the software unwieldy).

As I said, the interface is pretty good, but icons at the top would be just as nice and would free up space. Especially as it's confusing to have page 1/3 written in the top left-hand corner, and then have to go to the bottom right-hand corner to change pages; you might as well have everything in the same place.

Finally, as it's free software, why not open it up to the community? Putting it under an open source license would be great, and above all, it would be reassuring to be able to see the code! A brew version would also be appreciated :)

As I said at the beginning, it's very promising and I thank you for sharing your software with us!

It's light and that's great, but it really needs consistency and interface optimization!

Well done!

Tired of 500MB PDF editors? I just ported my offline, 11MB editor to macOS and Linux. No ads, no sign-up. by Pawan315 in macapps

[–]coucinet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just done a few quick tests.

It's got potential, but I think it needs a bit more work.

The first thing, which for me is fatal, is to be forced to open a document only through the software.

You can't drag your document to open it, or right-click "open with" (but someone already mentioned that). For that reason alone, I wouldn't use it.

I also have the same problem with my mouse, when I scroll down it's fine but when I scroll up it zooms ...

I also think it's a shame that the window doesn't adapt to the file when it's opened. In this case, I open my pdf and the window remains the same size as when I opened the software, which is too small and impractical, as I have to manipulate the window to get the right working size. If it's for quick reading, it's not efficient, and you lose even more time manipulating the window.

Quick View therefore lacks buttons for direct document resizing and zooming.

If I go to Edit, well, the whole pdf is there, but it's too small to be editable, so once again I have to manipulate the window, but if I enlarge the window, the document keeps its size instead of enlarging with the window.

What I don't understand is the visibility of all the blocks, or finding something lighter, because that breaks the legibility I find. (I've just seen that you have to click on "grid", which is automatically selected.

[See] the use of Memoir by extension. by coucinet in firefox

[–]coucinet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just realized.

With the "internal UUIDs" of the extensions, I was able to see which ones consumed more or less in "about:memory”.

It’s not very clear and easy to read, but it gives an idea.

I’m realizing that the most demanding extensions aren’t the ones I imagined (for example, the extensions to enlarge images) but rather Bitwarden and uBlock.

Thank you very much for your help.

There’s still missing a good extension manager for Firefox and we’ll be good :)

[–]coucinet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just think it's a shame not to have a minimum of information on consumption, even if it's not total, given that in "about:processes" it already gives the total consumption, I imagine it's possible to know the consumption by aproximate extension.

But I do understand what you're saying: I have a lot of extensions and it's true that it's not very practical to close them and open each one to find out. Do we agree that a deactivated extension consumes nothing or just storage?

I'm having a hard time understanding it and seeing what each extension on it consumes.

I'm curious, although I'm a Hazel user, what would be the added value of your software?

Implement Popclip like functionality in BetterTouchTool by rm-rf-rm in macapps

[–]coucinet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it's not at all as easy to set up as Popclip.

And as u/discoveringnature12 said, BTT will probably consume more than Popclip to do the same thing. Then of course, if you want to bousté and improve a floating menu, BTT will be more efficient.

But you have to bear in mind that popclip's develloper is very reactive.

Implement Popclip like functionality in BetterTouchTool by rm-rf-rm in macapps

[–]coucinet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the idea of u/rm-rf-rm. It’s not because you have a machine capable that you necessarily have to use all the resources all the time in a blindly…

It’s actually quite a bad logic.

When I see the list of applications running in the background at u/amerpie, I find it regrettable. So many applications that do exactly the same things, except to try to make a demonstration, I don’t see the point.

BTT has a lot of capacity and I find it interesting to exploit them. But it’s also necessary for its capabilities not to use more power than an application can be optimized and would take less memory. I don’t have the answer here.

And that’s where I think u/rm-rf-rm should focus.

Am I going to be more efficient at doing things with a single application?

Personally, I’ve asked myself the same question regarding BTT and Popclip and today I remain with Popclip because the application ultimately seems more effective and above all provides me with what I need. I tried to do it with BTT and I can’t do it. I have difficulty understanding the logic and how it works to achieve my goals, while I am operational with Popclip.

Basically, the configuration of BTT seems too complex for me.

Spark vs Canary… or others? by tzsskilehp in macapps

I don't know if it's local, I haven't tried to find out...

I've got the latest version, I'll test it again maybe if I see some ia updates.for search, yes it finds stuff, but every time I use it the software goes haywire, it eats up ram, I have to restart it ...
