LineBreak for Mac

User Reviews

• There's simple, and then there's mute

  KevinKillionJune 6, 2010

  Pros

  It seems to do what it's supposed to, at least for smaller files

  Cons

  There are few (if any) messages about what it will do, or what it's done, and it fails entirely (without any message) on big files

  Summary

  Drop a file on the LineBreak icon, and NOTHING appears to happen. There are no messages before, during or after the conversion. Theonly way you know that anything happened at all is by noting that the program launched and then quit, or by inspecting the text file. The worst part of this is that you are given no clear idea if the conversion succeeded or failed. In particular, dropping a large text file on LineBreak failed. Perhaps there is a size limit, perhaps it's all done in-memory? When it fails, you have no message to tell you that.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Sure you can do all sorts of things with the command line or services, etc. but nothing easier than dragging a folder onto an icon and having it correct line feeds in thousands of files under hundreds of folders. Could use a better interface, feedback on what it's processing, a history of files changed, etc. Great job!
