Installed fine, went without a problem.
Then the whole system tray issue for me. The thihg simply will not operate even when it was the only running application. I clicked, waited a full 2 minutes, nothing. Did that again 3 times in a row. Then I started madly double and triple clicking. Still nothing, computer tower wasn’t even loading anything. Then I tried the right click button. Still nothing. I continuously clicked on it for 15 seconds, then it decides to slip out of its coma and become active. It started zooming in and out really really fast, and at least 8 right click menus popped up. The zooming thing I can handle, it was partially my fault. The right click menus, however, I cannot let off. No matter how many times I clicked somewhere other than the menu, they just refused to disappear. I had to align the mouse along the then horizontal separators. I did that to all of the menus save the last one. Except as the second to last disappeared, the last menu decided to disappear too.
Then I right clicked again. No response. Waited 10 minutes, and no response. Then I madly click again and same issue happens. Automatic B- from me.
Wasn’t until my registering the license that it started working like it should be. More complaints about that too. The license window stalled for 2 minutes or so, and the paste function did not work at all. I finally had to manually type in everything.
…My goodness. Firefix is nearly dead. The rate at which these letters display in the comment box is as fast as the speed a person with rheumatism types. The Task Manager shows that the program uses 10MB of memory, 30-50% CPU.
Options does not have much. Besides the hotkeys and magnification levels, it’s as good as Windows’s built-in magnifier.
Fellow Giveaway benefactors, if you have the previous Giveaway of Magnifying Glass Pro 1.5, DO NOT install this one.
Sum-up of cons: Really bad options interface, extremely limited flexibility, uses more memory than it should deserve, and the loading times are just absurd. Never have I used such a disappointing Giveaway.
Ok, sorry, rant over. Just expressing personal critique of this program. I do look forward to seeing positive comments and pros… if there are any, that is.
Super, specially for a far sighted person like myself.
Magic Lens Max has a couple of features that I haven’t seen before in a screen magnifier. You can easily rotate an image but the truly wonderful feature is the ability lighten and darken images with a simple ctrl-alt and mousewheel rotation. This brings out detail in some images that you would not imagine being there! I haven’t had time yet to test all the tweaks available but I’ve seen enough to know I can recommend the program.
This one will be useful! Thanks GOTD. :)
