MarsEdit 4.1.2: Improved Safari Extension, Image Upload Fixes

July 6th, 2018

MarsEdit 4.1.2 is now available for download from the MarsEdit home page and has been submitted to the Mac App Store.

This update includes a substantial improvement to the Safari App Extension, and a number of bug fixes and enhancements:

  • Improve reliability of the Safari App Extension which could become disabled on complex web sites
  • Fix a bug that caused non-image files such as PDF documents to be converted to single-pixel images
  • Fix a bug that prevented dragging images from the “Uploaded” tab of the Media Manager
  • Fix a problem where “Preserve All Metadata” didn’t work when attaching an image for later upload
  • Revert to pre-4.1 behavior of postponing initializing Media Manager until window is opened
  • Tag completion now prioritizes exact diacritical matches ahead of fuzzy matches
  • Restore the “Don’t show again” checkbox on the Rich/Plain text mode switch alert

I realized when I went to post about this update that I neglected to ever officially acknowledge the 4.1.1 update, which I released a couple weeks ago. That one contained fewer fixes, but they are still important:

  • Fix a crash when dragging images from Photos.app before MarsEdit’s Upload Utility window has been opened
  • Fix a crash that could occur when “Preserve All” was selected for image metadata
  • Fix a bug that prevented “Preserve All” metadata option from staying selected on a blog

Enjoy!
