Yep has received yet another minor update to 1.6.8. This latest in a recent slew of updates fixes a Yepshot problem, so if Yepshot has been giving you grief you should probably jump right on this download.
Also, I regretfully must say that, try as they might, the Yep developers still have nothing on GraphicConverter when it comes to the Most Constantly Updated App Award. Keep trying guys! A few more years of this and you’ll be in the running.
Cha-Ching, everyone’s favorite tag-centric financial management software, has been updated to version 1.1. This update includes the addition of an “untagged” section (for finding those pesky untagged entries), better QIF and OFX importing, enhanced auto-completion, and some new and updated interface elements. Definitely a worth-while download if you’re a fan of Cha-Ching.
For more details, please see the Cha-Ching 1.1 blog post.
Picture Box, a simple tags-only photo organizer meant to complement software like iPhoto, has been updated to 1.2.5. This minor update adds drag and drop between Picture Box documents so that you can easily transfer photos with their tags with a flick of the mouse.
For more details (hint: there aren’t any), see the 1.2.5 release notes.
FileSpot, a Spotlight searching utility, has received a minor update to 2.0.2, apparently bypassing 2.0.1. This version includes improvements to the startup demo dialog, better license key validation, and a way to report validation problems.
Unfortunately, release notes are only available through the in-program Sparkle updating, so for details you’ll have to check for updates from within the program.
Hard on the heels of the previous minor update to Yep, 1.6.7 fixes a crash that occurred when moving documents to the Yep documents folder. Apparently this pesky bug wasn’t actually quashed by 1.6.6.
No other bugs or changes were reported for 1.6.7, so unless this crash has been bothering you, you probably don’t need to rush out immediately to update.
Code Collector Pro, the tag-based code snippet collector, has received a minor update to 1.0.1. Improvements in this version include faster syntax highlighting and speed improvements when coloring comments.
For details, please visit the Code Collector Pro website and view the changelog.
Coming hot on the heels of Yep 1.6.5 is version 1.6.6. This minor update fixes a crash that occurred when moving documents to the Yep Documents folder and includes a couple other minor feature tweaks and fixes.
Unfortunately, the Yep developers do not provide release notes or a changelog outside of the automatic in-program update service, so for more details you’ll have to launch your current version of Yep or just download the newest version on faith.
FileSpot, the Spotlight searching utility that is the updated version of MoRU, has officially come out of beta today. FileSpot allows users to do far more complex Spotlight searches than is possible with the default OS interface, and features a number of improvements over MoRU including TagBot compatible tagging and tag searches, deeply nested search logic (allowing you to create very specific searches very easily), a tabbed interface, and the ability to export searches as Finder Smart Folders. As of the third beta, FileSpot spots a new metallic icon as well. (Honestly, I liked the old one better; this one’s a bit chunky.)
If you do much of anything that involves Spotlight, you owe it to yourself to at least try FileSpot. It is a very advanced search utility, and may be a key ingredient in any file system tagging you do. Additionally, there are some cool new features planned for upcoming versions that are definitely worth getting excited about. FileSpot is $20 shareware with a 30 day trial period and a 50% discount for owners of MoRU.
EagleFiler, the file library with excellent tag support, has been updated to 1.2.5. This minor update adds capture support for Cyndicate, the new kid on the block of RSS readers, along with some bug fixes and speed improvements.
For details, see the C-Command EagleFiler 1.2.5 update post.
Several apps received minor updates while I was away from the internet. Yep was bumped to 1.6.5 (including several bug fixes and performance tweaks), iGTD jumped to 1.4.5.6 (several minor bug fixes), Keyword Manager received a larger update to 1.3 which brings compatibility with iPhoto ’08, Pukka version 1.6.1 added support for the free RSS feeder Vienna, and PackRat is now at version 1.3.2 (fixing a crash that some people were seeing).
