I hate to bump threads like this, but is there going to be any updates? :-! Since the 9.0.2 release, Bowtie doesn't work at all. It'll displayed the current playing song but if you switch songs, Bowtie does not switch. It's happening on every theme. All other bugs that have been reported since SL was released are still there as well and have gotten worse if anything.

...what the heck. It's working for me now, too. Only thing I can think that happened is that I did a restart after I made that post. Maybe that fixed it. Weird.

Expect a highly polished beta 3 by sometime near the end of March.

So... It's November now. Has work on Bowtie ground to a halt, or can I go back to Coversutra?

I'm normally a very patient person, but it has been eight months. Were I not destitute I would leave such concerned messages in the comments section of a paypal donation.

I'm anxiously waiting for the Beta 3 of bowtie. I went to CoverSutra and it isn't the same without the Zunkuft theme.

It's not going to happen when he realizes that half of the people who use his products are impatient and ungrateful for what they already have. If you'd read up on Mattpat's twitter, he just finished the new Last.fm framework (that he plans to release November 25, though that isn't when he's releasing Bowtie), so that the new update will include a more functional Last.fm experience with more features.

Two things:

(1) Be patient. This is free software that the developer is doing in his spare time. He's not making anything off of this, he'd doing it for the love of the community so show him some love in return so he'll keep it up. Bowtie is a great app and easily competes with many of the paid apps. Is it perfect? No. It's in beta. I'm sure he'll release the update when he has time.

(2) Cup of Joe, can you drop a link to his twitter feed? I'd like to follow him. I wasn't aware he was even on Twitter.

Here you are.

And earlier, I was incorrect. He's releasing the Last.fm framework (hopefully) on the 15th, not 25th. Sorry.

Since last.fm isn't working in beta 2 properly (dosn't work for me at all...), yes it's important. But search is imo just as important because at the moment it's useless...

It doesn't work? Well I never bothered checking if it was actually working lol.
Well if it doesn't work, then it's important. I didn't know it wasn't working.
But search is more important, because it's crap atm. I love how customisable it is, and everything, but I can't give up Coversutra until search is good.

I mean, just because he's releasing the Last.fm framework doesn't mean that's the only thing he's improved or plans to improve. I read somewhere that he's planning on redoing the theme library thing in the preference window to work better when there are lots of themes. I'm also pretty sure he's gotten it fully 64-bit, among some other things. I'm pretty sure it's worth the wait.

Last.fm doesn't work for me either as of iTunes 9.0.1.

Sucks because I love Bowtie, and love Zukunft even more.

There are so many bowtie themes I love. I just want it to stay where it is when I expose the desktop. That is the only thing that bothers me and I have been waiting for the fix for this for almost a year...
