MarsEdit 4.3: Animated GIFs and Other Delights
March 19th, 2019MarsEdit 4.3 is now available from our web site and on the Mac App Store.
First up, this release addresses a number of issues affecting the upload of GIF images. Chief among them: animated GIF images can now be resized without losing animation!
Second, a significant revision to MarsEdit’s Media Manager should improve its appearance for folks who are running in macOS Mojave’s Dark Mode. We added Dark Mode support in MarsEdit 4.2, but the Media Manager still had some rough edges.
