Pathetic still and probably always…read more It's a terrible program if you need to have any kind of portability in a photo database. There is no easy way to move a database or part of the database from one computer to another. The customer service is unbelievably insulting and bad. Sometimes they do reply, but better they don't. They do not deserve your patronage. The following email passes for product support. The entire thread isn't available, but 5 days prior my friend had followed directions to try a third party fix. The reply email is wrong, that the fix had been tried and that it did not work had been communicated to Cerious. Their initial response? All questions had been answered and they were closing the ticket; somehow the problem had to have been caused by a party other than Cerious. That pathetic response was addressed below in the original message. That was the extent of insult to the person providing support, Laura Shook. That it was pathetic. Their reply bemoaned some fantasy of non cooperation: -----Reply Message----- This is Phillip, developer of ThumbsPlus. First Adam and then Laura provided correct and polite answers every time in this case, and you replied each time by denying what was clearly said and being obnoxious and rude. I have no idea why you refused to do what you were told would correct the problem that Laura correctly identified as being with MICROSOFT'S Windows Installer database or MSI cache on your system. Laura was also perfectly correct about having nothing to do with version 8. Version 9 uses a completely different Windows Installer product code, and installs and runs completely independently from version 8. In the screen shot which YOU provided, and which I have attached again here, it's crystal clear that there is a problem locating the .MSI file from version 9 (NINE) SP1. I even enlarged and colorized the relevant information from the error message for you. So please follow the initial instructions, quoted below for your convenience. After you remove ThumbsPlus 9 using this tool, you should be able to install the latest build. If it doesn't work, let us know and we will investigate further. --- An easier way has been reported to me from other users. I now have a link to a newer M$ uninstall/install fix executable. I have not announced this yet on the pages yet but if we continue to get great results we will put a link on our pages to it. This file was created to fix this issue caused by an error in the Windows installer folder on your system. support.microsoft.com/ma... After this, the new installer should operate correctly. --- If you continue to refuse and continue to be a condescending jackass, it will not be possible for anyone here to help you with this problem further.

If it's development that I need to speak with, then I should be directed to them, him/her. What a pathetic response. And the implication that your one instruction was not followed only shows that you don't care what I've written. This is consistent with my first encounter with you, pathetic still and probably always.

Without Thumbs Plus, my massive collection of digital porn would be a mess. Well, it's still a…read moremess, but at least I can find old favorites quickly and easily. It's great for legitimate, tasteful stuff that you can share with family and friends, too. This is my favorite image control software. It's not Photoshop but it's the best image cataloging and thumbnail and adjustment program, at least for us amateurs. www.cerious.com

This quaint little tavern of a spot is a true hidden gem of SF, or at least of Pacific Heights…read more Okay, maybe Lower Pac Heights. Okay maybe it's not actually a gem at all, but rather a pebble that happens to be somewhat shiny. It's a tiny little family-run joint no larger than a 3-bedroom apartment. They don't even have a website! It's barely visible from the street but once you squeeze between a minimart and a salon of some sort and climb up the hidden stairs in this mini-alley, you'll find yourself on your way to the adventure of a lifetime. Once up the dingy and disgusting stairs, the impeccably spotless front lobby of the establishment leaves you feeling immaculate from within. All that changes however as you enter the actual Den. This private VIP room has a decor of its own that is a bit disjointed from the rest of the place. The immaculateness seems to end at the door of the den, but the sloppy interior adds a homely feel which I ain't complaining about. Among the oddities of this joint is a random hatch in the wall that opens up to the great outdoors. It is a tiny hatch, barely wide enough to stick an arm though. I am told that it is the remains of an ancient garbage chute that once was. Many people however use it as a convenient means of checking the weather, or so I hear. Musical instruments, such as guitars, abound the area and seem to have been left behind by past inhabitants. If you go to the back, you can open up a strange closet, only to find a random light deep within its bowels that can be turned on from the outside. There are beds to lie down on. With no official "hours", the Lobster's Den is always open as a chill hangout and party spot, unless the owner is away. There's often drinking that occurs, but mostly I have seen people either studying there or sleeping, oddly enough. I used to always see this one cute little Indian number in there. Actually she's the only reason I would go there, to tell you the truth. This hottie was always there, so you single guys out there should definitely check this place (her) out, especially if a little spicy Indian flavor's your thing. Now if that doesn't scream Local Flavor, I don't know what does. The other day, Samir and I were hanging out there at 3am, just kicking it with her. And that was when we found out that she's the owner! She gave us the grand tour. Grand old time indeed. The only reason I give it 3 stars is the emptiness of this place. This owner chiquita's practically the only person that's ever there. I mean I don't really mind that all that much, but still! A little new blood wouldn't hurt. Although once I did see a tall manager in there. No one really knows about this place, and it's no wonder. They don't even have a website! I mean come on! In this day and age! No wonder I'm the first person to Yelp it. The sexy mama was telling us, however, that they may shift their location in another couple months. So maybe they're holding out for that. Hopefully the new one will be better publicized. And hopefully there will be more chicks there.

First of all I just want to say I have been taking both of my BMWS to this car wash for a couple of…read moreyears, living in the city there is no options for car wash besides this location and two others. Their wash is ALWAYS inconsistent, one wash might good and the other times, 80% of the time the car is poorly washed all around, I would have to clean up the car myself after their service. THIS time is was my absolute final time to ever take my car here. They cracked my windshield during the wash , they didn't call me when this happened, instead the staff that washed my car today completely acted like it wasn't them, acted like nothing happened and hoping I would NOT notice a HUGE crack in my windshield that on my 100k car. Beyond frustrating and aggravating how the staff handled it, they made me fill out a "claim" form that looks like it came from a public library typed by a 1st grader . I wasn't giving a solution or any resolutions, all they said we will contact you when we "know more". I asked to see the cameras, which of course they didn't show. Instead they tried to feed me a possibility this might have happened else where, but it didn't, the car was perfectly fine before this wash. If you have a valuable expensive vehicle DO NOT take your car here! I assure you it's not worth your money or the possibility of them damaging the exterior of the car. Anyone who needs a car wash referral I will be happy to provide it! I would give this place a -5 * if I could. Charging people absurd amount of money for half ass job, for inconsistent washes, very possible damage that might occur is absolutely shameless. This place needs to be handled by a different management and staff who actually know what they are doing and caring about customers and taking responsibility for the damages they caused!!!

Zero stars if I could. $20 for just a vacuum, asked about them actually wiping anything and they…read moreacted liked they forgot. Total rip off

Stopped by Arlequin Wine Merchant to pick up a nice bottle of wine for a family dinner and honestly…read morethis place made the decision both exciting and difficult in the best way possible. Their wine selection is huge, with bottles from all different regions and price ranges. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, taking the time to answer questions and give recommendations without making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. I ended up going with this beautiful bottle of Chianti Classico and it definitely felt like a great choice for the occasion. The shop itself also has a very calm and cozy atmosphere that makes browsing enjoyable. You can tell this is the type of place made for people who genuinely enjoy wine, whether you're experienced or just trying to find something good for dinner. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're looking for a quality bottle of wine, a thoughtful recommendation or just want to explore something new.

Popped in here to have a glass of wine late afternoon as I had a little time to kill. I'm a pretty…read morecheery and outgoing person. Courteous. I don't know who the guy was - manager I assume, but just the rudest person I've met in a long time. Rude, dismissive, unbelievably unprofessional. I even tried joking around with him a little when I was ordering, thinking he'd lighten up, and he acted like I was some kind of foul odor he couldn't wait to get away from. Absolutely no excuse for such behavior. Not to mention a tiny, tiny, tiny pour of wine for $18. I stayed and did some work for about a half an hour. As I was about to leave, an older couple walked in he couldn't have been nicer. Sweet as pie. Friendly, welcoming, conversational. Made a suggestion when they asked for advice. The complete opposite of how he treated me. There's no way I did anything to warrant such behavior from him. I don't know what his issue was but it was unacceptable. Hey guys? Just a tip. In this economy when you're charging people absurd amounts of money for a Dixie cup of average wine - maybe not a good idea to treat customers like they're bothering you. Also - this is not the place to blast Eminem. Read the damn room.
