HEAVY_SHOWER Sorry about the delay -- just a note to say that TrailRunner, actually, since several updates back, has stopped causing all that havoc to my preference files -- all original .plist extensions remain as is. Thanks. On another note, TrailRunner is greatly appreciated, and is a fun way to keep stats on my jogging routes.

HEAVY_SHOWER I had to go through my Preferences folder, and normally I ignore the Size and Kind categories hidden beyond the Finder window, unless I open the window wide -- well, I decided this time to list everything by Kind. So, upon extending the window to access the column header, so as to view the Kind category, I was surprised to see that practically all of my preference files were identified as "TrailRunner Model Snapshots"! What's that all about??

HEAVY_SHOWER Evidently the developer doesn't read the commentaries here -- or doesn't give a sh#t. I'll try posting this at Apple discussion.

FREEZYJOSY Hi. Why so anonymous? We're still living people behind software and the internet. But regarding your issue with the preference files. The .plist file extension is a very common file extension like .txt and so on. The last application that registers on your mac to be able to write this kind of file will be recognized by the operating system and this is being displayed in Finder. But in general you are right. So I changed my application to be not recognized anymore as it does not make sense in this case to have TrailRunner register as the default application for files of kind plist. - berbie.

ROBBY.IS.ON Heavy_Shower, I thought you were quite rude. Remember, this is not the developer's forum; this is MacUpdate, a site that lists Mac and iPhone software. Very few developers actually look at the comments here, Berbie is an exemption. And while he/she didn't answer immediately (which you can't expect), you haven't either.

Being a developer myself I would recommend that you rename the plist extension to another of your choosing, it does not matter the name of the extension your software will still load the content as a plist dictionary. and this way you will not confuse the rest of the system. Regards.

KAYEL This app works great with the iPhone and iTrail. I am still discovering features and I find it very useful to track my workouts and map my progress in training off-road. In addition, the developer is very responsive and helpful. Definitely worth a try. Thumbs up.

FREEZYJOSY I use TrailRunner for like over a year now. This spring I also forged out the money for a Garmin ForeRunner 305 and I must say that I am impressed on how TrailRunner has developed. I can't even think if I would have bought the Garmin if TrailRunner wasn't there. TrailRunner really keeps me motivated on running. And as I can see from the latest Beta for TrailRunner 1.8 it looks like the developer explicitly heads into the biking sector by giving a direct access to the diary in the main window. I think TrailRunner is a killer app and would be even worth 40 USD if it was shareware (in fact TrailRunner is freeware with a donation hole to fill if you like). Berbie, keep up the good work.

FREEZYJOSY I think it's ok the developer goes with the development progress of apple and tries to integrate the latest technology into TrailRunner. TrailRunner for Leopard is much faster and cleaner as the 1.6 version. Looks like it was worth it. And for the ones still using Mac OS X Tiger, there's a compatibility version available on the websites download section.

BRUCE_Y Why has this changed to Leopard only? Last version of it that I had downloaded about a month ago (June) was Tiger version, now it requires Leopard -- to what purpose are Tiger users left behind? Unhappy about this, sigh :(

ROBERT COOGAN This would be much better if it interfaced with Google Earth. I use HoudahGeo to pin my photos to GE, why not this?

KPE You can view Routes in Google Earth. Trailrunner is a route planning app. Houdah Geo is a geocoding app for photos. Even though they both use GPS data, they have different purposes.

ARS I am only an occasional user of this software, so that I skip many of the, for me too frequent, upgrades the developer makes. This does not take away however that this is very nice piece of software.It works very welland I like the (recent?) the possibility to see your trail with Google Earth. I think the software excels at showing where you have been (after having recorded your track with a GPS). It is not always as useful to plan a new hike, as it uses free maps which often do not trails marked on them. I do not hold this against the software, as it would cost money (usually) to get such marked up maps (via Topo e.g.). Some other sites have free trails in GPX format (I believe the backpacker.com site has these),sothe user has to download them first.
