Anything new coming for WebCam driver?

[GG7]

I just purchased your version 1.2 in order to be able to use a Logitech
Quickcam PRO 9000 with my weather station software and OSX Leopard 10.5.6.

Even though I had read all over the net that this camera worked fine with
OSX, I was having a lot of problems, and the author of my weather station
software recommended that I try your driver before throwing in the towel and
ordering the Mac OSX compatible Logitech Vision Pro for Mac.

I was pleased to see that once I installed your driver, the camera worked
and looked GREAT within the application, and all the color distortion and
issues with the built in iSIGHT camera being chosen instead were solved.
Since I couldn¹t test everything properly in 30 minutes, I was forced to
purchase your driver to be sure.  Everything seems to work, but I am having
some concerns about stability and performance...

Now that the dust of earlier today has settled, I am noticing that your beta
driver feels a little buggy and SLOW.  Clicking on the camera settings
brings forth a spinning beach ball that I do not often see on this Core 2
Duo Intel iMAC.  The camera settings for your driver finally do appear on
the screen, but they are VERY slow to update when clicked on.

Another real issue for me as a 24/7 360 weather station operator is this...

My weather station application is unable to find my 9000 camera after a
re-start.  I have to quit the program and re-launch it a second time before
the camera is seen and the application loads as normal.  This is a problem
for an often unattended machine and application that needs to be on all the
time.  If the power goes out for too long and the UPC dies, this machine
will re-start and LWC needs to be able to launch itself and FIND THE CAMERA!

I have a call into the developer of that application (Lightsoft Weather
Center (LWC)), and will try to determine if this is an LWC issue or your
driver¹s fault.

Although I am somewhat satisfied with the current performance I am getting,
Logitech does make a OSX specific version of the 9000 camera that is 100%
Leopard compatible.  The difference between the 9000 and this other model,
when you include the 20 bucks I had to spend for your driver is only $10.00.
The original $30.00 savings for what appeared to be the same hardware was
the reason I went with the 9000 over the more expensive Vision Pro Mac.

I would like to know if your driver is going to be supported going forward
in 2009.  I am fully expecting a snappier and more reliable version for my
20 bucks.

Thanks in advance for any ³current² information.  Your web site and Wikki
had both not been updated in months.  ;o)

Cheers.
