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: All the power of Unix’s tcpdump is available from the Traffic function.Early in February I asked Matthew Drayton, the developer of Interarchy, what his timetable was for fixing the bugs which remained in the application.

Interarchy amazes most when you need to watch the actual network packets. Network Connections offers a list of open connections in a friendlier format than Network Utility’s netstat output. If you need to see just how much data you’re pushing through the network, Interarchy’s Network Status window shows a graphical display and statistical summary of all traffic. While this information is available in Apple’s Network Utility, Interarchy puts it all into one efficient window. Traceroute and port scan operations are mouse-clicks away. The Network Host Info command queries the network for DNS, mail transfer, whois records, and ping results, all of which it displays in an expandable Get Info-style window. Interarchy offers several tools for network analysis and administration.

The command-line tool injects Interarchy’s full functionality into the Terminal environment-even offering Keychain support. Interarchy’s AppleScript support remains superb, and its dictionary is a model of clarity. In addition, the Edit With BBEdit command is a boon for users of that fine application. The Get URL With Interarchy contextual menu makes Interarchy available to any application that supports contextual-menu plug-ins. You can store passwords in the Keychain by just selecting an option. The Bookmarks window includes nearby Rendezvous servers and any Address Book entries that include Web sites. Interarchy’s Mac technologies run deeper than just its interface.
