MarsEdit 4.1.4: Bug Fixes & Dark Mode Refinements

September 11th, 2018

MarsEdit 4.1.4 is now available for download from the MarsEdit home page and has been submitted to the Mac App Store.

This update includes a good number of fixes as well as more changes to support macOS Mojave’s upcoming Dark Mode. Folks who are running the beta Mojave should find that most aspects of the app are now tuned to draw properly in Dark Mode. One area where I’m still planning to put some more time in is in the “Media Manager” where there are still some white backdrops that need to be adapted.

Here’s the complete list of changes in this update:

  • Fix a bug that prevented some preference changes from “sticking”
  • Restore support for dragging images from Preview’s thumbnail list to the app
  • Preserve <script> elements when editing HTML content that contains them
  • Restore scripting support for custom field values on posts
  • Fix an issue converting Emoji characters from entities and back
  • Fix a crash when using VoiceOver to select Featured Image
  • Update default “Quick Posts” markup to use a more correct HTML structure
  • Fix preview of Quick Posts template which was not displaying correctly
  • More preliminary support for Dark Mode
    • Use different syntax highlighting colors in Dark Mode
    • Fix text color for the Network Log’s content
    • Adapt about box and acknowledgements windows
    • Adapt main window preview area
