When it comes to look and feel, "It's better to look good than to feel good!" The frustration is that unlike them, Apple could do so much better, but ever since the candy-colored iMacs, they've decided that Fernando (Billy Crystal's old SNL character) was right. And yet the rest of the industry is so fragmented that they don't do any better in terms of usability. Now, it's all about the style, about how the edges look in fashion magazines. Can't you work on this, Apple? "Thinner!"Īpple used to emphasize software quality and usability. Or, the apps get worse, not better, over time, and you always have to ask yourself whether each free OS upgrade is worth the risk of unreliable WiFi. Don't you realize how critically important that is?" Or a yearning for more battery life, or even just a swappable battery? "The bottom of our laptop looks better than the top of theirs!" Or, why is the text on my iPhone suddenly so low contrast and hard to read? "Surely you agree that having a fresh look matters more than readability! Look, the icons are flat. Surely you agree that the appearance of a thin edge is more important than usability of Finder or connectors." I mean this more metaphorically than literally, but I'm so tired of complaints about the ridiculously primitive Finder being met with, "the edge of the iMac now appears even thinner, now that we've repositioned formerly convenient connectors and such into a bulge behind the screen. Thanks for your understanding, support and patience.Because you can't really tell how well software is working when looking at the device edge-on, and that's apparently the way Apple looks at them most of the time. If you want to continue Path Finder 10 but you don’t have it anymore, you can download it on our support page, just scroll down and you’ll see it. However, with your PF10 license you can continue using version 10 indefinitely. Only then you’ll need to purchase the subscription, but only if you want to use latest versions. You can use your existing PF10 license with newer versions of Path Finder until it’s one year old. We definitely take into considerations all feedback we get and we’ll act accordingly. We’re really sorry we had to introduce those changes, but we wanted to see how it would work, as times for the small independent software companies are constantly getting tougher. Sorry about that…įor the new versions of Path Finder (as of version 2121, released mid-February), we introduced licensing based on subscription. I sincerely apologise for such delayed response, I was browsing through old issues and only now this has come to my intention. The irony is I’d’ve continued to pay $30 for each major release, but refuse to be drawn into a subscription model, even if the total cost is the same. If I understand this email correctly, the answer to the question is that the last version that worked will continue to work, but you won’t get any new versions.Īs for me, I’m sorry be leaving Cocoatech and Path Finder behind after so many years. I got this response today (18-April-2022) to the email I sent to Cocoatech back in February that I think answers your question.
