MarsEdit 4.0.6 is now available for download from the MarsEdit home page and for the Mac App Store.

It’s a bit embarrassing that after celebrating support in 4.0.5 for Lightroom 7 (Classic CC) libraries, it became clear that many Lighroom libraries could not be accessed at all by that version, because of an oversight in how sandbox privileges were being requested for MarsEdit. Long story short: “it worked on my machine.” 😀

MarsEdit 4.0.6 fixes (knock on wood) the Lighroom issue and incorporates a couple other small bug fixes:

• Fix names of HEIF based photos in the Media Manager
• Fix a bug that prevented some Lightroom libraries from appearing in Media Manager
• Fix a bug that prevented some dragged images from being accepted in the Rich Text editor

Enjoy, and let me know of any problems if you find them!

MarsEdit 4.0.5 is now available for download from the MarsEdit home page and has been submitted to the Mac App Store for review by Apple.

This update includes bug fixes and refinements that I’ve made in response to feedback from customers since MarsEdit 4.0 was released in December.

• Fix a bug that prevented automatic preview template download from working on some Blogspot blogs
• Add accessibility description to the buttons for adding and removing Custom Fields
• Detect and convey more useful error message for “Obfuscated ID” Blogger image upload failures
• Protect against a possible crash when handling Tumblr API errors
• Incorporate support for Lightroom 7 into the Media Manager
• Rich Editor fixes
  • Restore Cmd-Shift-C keyboard shortcut to open Color Panel
  • Fix a bug where the “More” tag in a post with Unicode characters could get stripped out
  • Improvements to cursor navigation of images and text with links

Enjoy the improvements, and keep that valuable feedback coming!

It’s been two weeks since MarsEdit 4 was launched, and I’ve focused on releasing bug-fix updates to iron out little issues that have been reported since the debut.

MarsEdit 4.0.4 is now available for download from the MarsEdit home page and from the Mac App Store.

Here is the list of fixes this update includes:

• Fix a failure to auto-configure some Tumblr-based blogs
• Fix a problem that prevented bolds, italics, etc. from being set as default preview fonts
• Fix a problem where Typewriter Mode in Rich Text mode could scroll awkwardly while typing
• Restore support for selecting “main category” on Movable Type blogs
• Improve indexing and searchability of built-in Help

Enjoy!

Since I released MarsEdit 4.0 last week, I’ve been grateful that no major issues have been reported. A few minor issues have been reported, and I decided to release an update now to get those problems ironed out before too much time passes.

MarsEdit 4.0.2 is available for download from the MarsEdit home page and the Mac App Store. The version jumps from 4.0 to 4.0.2 for direct-download customers, because some quick Mac App Store-specific fixes warranted a version bump last week.

Here is the list of changes common to MarsEdit 4.0.2 in both the Mac App Store and direct release versions:

• Revise toolbar popup menus to use the same rounded button style as other buttons
• Fix a bug that caused some error sheets in the main window to be presented in wrong location
• Fix a crash that could occur if preferences are not writable for some reason

One fix applies only to the direct download version:

• Fix app registration URL handling so it works even when the app was not already launched

And one fix applies only to the Mac App Store version:

• Fix a bug in which validating an app for discount upgrade could spin forever

Let me know if you run into any problems with the update!
