Usher 2.3.1 is out

Tuesday, March 11th, 2025

Usher 2.3.1 has been released; check out the release notes for all the details. There is one key item that you should be aware of, even if you don’t read the release notes: There’s been a change in Usher’s renaming rules.

In the past, Usher could rename filenames including their extensions, but as of 2.3.1, the extensions are untouchable. We determined that it was too easy to accidentally modify (or remove!) extensions from files while renaming within Usher, and that could have catastrophic results. If this change affects you, please let us know your use case, so we can consider it in possible future changes to Usher’s renaming features.

Beyond that, there are changes in duplicate search and sorting logic, as well as rewritten help, which you can now also browse on the web.

As always, you can update by checking for updates within the app, or by downloading a fresh copy from Usher’s web page (you won’t lose your settings).

Name Mangler 3.9.3 released

Sunday, February 16th, 2025

Name Mangler 3.9.3 (release notes) is out, and it fixes a crashing issue related to QuickLook for users of macOS 11 and earlier. (Thanks, Nicole G. for telling us about this one!)

If you’re a user of an older macOS release and you can’t launch Name Mangler to check for updates, just download a new copy of the app from the Name Mangler page (you won’t lose your settings). App Store users should see the update in the App Store app, if not now then shortly.

Name Mangler 3.9.2 released

Thursday, February 13th, 2025

Name Mangler 3.9.2 is out (release notes), with some updates and fixes that may be of interest to photographers, along with our all-new in-app help (now available online, too).

On the photography front, we added a new metadata field, Exposure Time Denominator, which is just what it says it is. We also added the missing Lens metadata item, and fixed overly-aggressive rounding when adding various photo-related metadata like Exposure Time.

App Store customers should see the update either now or shortly in the App Store app, and direct customers can check for updates within Name Mangler, or download a fresh copy of the app from our site (you won’t lose your settings).

Desktop Curtain and Time Sink updated

Wednesday, February 12th, 2025

Today we released Desktop Curtain 3.2 (release notes) and Time Sink 2.2.4 (release notes), which are minor updates to two of our longstanding apps. You can check out the release notes pages for all the details on each app—the changes are mostly of a housekeeping nature to keep up with changes in macOS, but here are a couple highlights:

  • Desktop Curtain gains a new Cover Widgets curtain level, to cover desktop widgets.
  • We fixed a couple pesky bugs in Time Sink, one of which prevented captured screenshots from stopping at the limit you’d set.
  • Both apps feature our new in-app help system, which is totally reorganized for easier reference to the various sections of help…and is also available online: See Desktop Curtain help and Time Sink help.

App Store users should see the updates shortly, if not already, in the App Store app. Direct customers can check for updates within the apps, or just download fresh copies (you won’t lose your settings) from each app’s web page.

These are just the first two of what will be updates to all our apps, as we roll out various fixes, features, and the new help system in each one. Stay tuned!

Usher 2.3 is out

Tuesday, December 17th, 2024

Usher 2.3 is out, and it’s basically a maintenance update with a whole slew of minor fixes and changes. A couple of the highlights include the ability to locate missing satellites, the addition of width, height, and resolution as columns (and sorting criteria), and a couple fixes for minor macOS Sequoia glitches.

As usual, you can update within the app, or by downloading a fresh copy of the app from Usher’s page (you won’t lose your settings).

An update on some recent Chrome issues in Witch

Wednesday, November 13th, 2024

Recently, we’ve been made aware of two issues in Chrome (and probably Chromium and any other Chrome-based browser). The following are both issues in Chrome version 131.0.6778.70, and possibly some slightly earlier releases:

  1. Witch can only list Chrome’s tabs if they’re in the foreground; once you switch Chrome to the background, you’ll only see one tab. We can’t work around this one, unfortunately. We’ve reported the bug, so hopefully it will garner some attention and get fixed soon. If not, though, we’re stuck, as we can’t see a good way around the problem within Witch’s code.
  2. If you use named windows (Window > Name Window…), those custom names no longer show in Witch. Instead, you get the window title, as you do for unnamed windows. This is a very recent regression, and the good news is that it’s already been fixed in Chromium, so that fix should be making its way to Chrome soonish. (If it doesn’t, we have a workaround ready to go, but we’d rather not use it if we don’t have to.)

When/if these issues are resolved in Chrome, we’ll update this post. But for now, if you’re a Chrome-using Witch user, you’ll run into both of these issues.

Moom 4.1.3 released

Tuesday, November 5th, 2024

Moom 4.1.3 is out, with a number of minor fixes and a more-informative “Layout doesn’t apply” dialog. Full details, as always, can be found in the release notes.

Moom should inform you of the update, unless you disabled update checking. If you did that, select Moom > Check for Updates from the menu. You can also install a fresh copy of the app from our site (you won’t lose your settings), but the update method is definitely simpler.

Moom 4.1.1 (and 4.1.2) released

Monday, September 16th, 2024

Although only a minor bump in version number, Moom 4.1.1 contains a good number of improvements, including the biggie: Moom 4 is aware of macOS Sequoia’s snap-related features, and automatically disables them when the corresponding Moom features are active. You can also now drop windows on partially obscured target areas in drop zones, and we improved things in a number of other areas—check out the release notes for all the details.

Moom 4.1.1 can be downloaded from our site (you won’t lose your settings), or you can update within the app itself via the update checker in the gear icon menu in Moom’s Settings window.

Note: We released 4.1.2 to fix a regression in “Move to Other Display” that affected some users.

Access Moom’s custom actions via pop-up menus

Thursday, August 29th, 2024

If you’re a keyboard-oriented Mac user, Moom 4 speaks your language. Every custom action can have its own keyboard shortcut, for starters. And, of course, there’s Keyboard mode, with even more keyboard-centric powers.

Keyboard access to all custom actions

One of the new keyboard-focused features in Moom 4 is hiding at the bottom of the Keyboard section of Moom’s Settings window: The “Access custom actions via hot key” keyboard shortcut box.

This feature isn’t enabled by default (and it’s independent of Moom’s Keyboard mode), but in the above screenshot, it has been assigned a Shift-Control-Option-M shortcut.

(more…)
