Warp 1.2

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Warp 1.2 changes the behavior of Spaces wraparound to mimic Apple’s default Spaces behavior. If you’d like the old behavior back, type defaults write com.ksuther.warp OldWrapStyle -bool YES in the Terminal and disable and re-enable Warp.

The new Warp pager also has an alternate display style that displays application icons rather than the live window preview. You can enable this by typing defaults write com.ksuther.warp PagerStyle 1 in the Terminal. Swapping the 1 for a 0 will switch back to the default display style.

Warp 1.2 should also play nicer with upcoming system releases.

Changes from Warp 1.1.1:

  • Added a floating pager that allows rapid switching between spaces.
  • Click-to-warp floating window no longer appears when dragging items.
  • Fixed wrapping around a single row or column of spaces.
  • Improved modifier key check so that the exact modifier keys specified must be pressed for Warp to activate.
  • Changed wraparound to behave similarly to when using Spaces from the keyboard.
  • The Warp helper application now automatically relaunches when updating.

Glypha on the App Store

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

The week before WWDC, I spent a few days porting a classic Mac game for just kicks, and I got around to submitting it to the App Store a couple of weeks ago. It went live earlier this week, so Glypha is now available for your iPhone or iPod touch for free!

Chax 2.2.2 Beta 1

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

This beta fixes some minor bugs as well as adding an option to automatically clear file transfers from the transfer list once they successfully finish.

Regarding Snow Leopard, current versions of Chax are not compatible with 10.6. Chax will not load under any circumstances, nor can you make any tweak to force it to load. I have yet to determine what the future of Chax will be on Snow Leopard, but there will be no Snow Leopard-compatible version of Chax at least until Snow Leopard ships in September.

Changes from Chax 2.2.1:

  • (Note) The preference for “Show Text Status” in the View menu has been reset for improved compatability for future releases
  • (New) Option to automatically clear successful file transfers
  • (New) Can now remove individual items from the activity window with the delete key
  • (Bug) Activity window dates now use the system-defined date and time formats
  • (Bug) Fixed the unified contact list position not saving for some localizations
  • (Bug) Reduced log viewer load time

  • (New) Can now rearrange groups in the unified contact list
  • (Bug) Fixed issues with the unified contact list updating when moving contacts from one group to another.

Chax 2.2.1 Beta 1

Friday, April 17th, 2009

This beta adds the ability to manage your contacts from the unified contact list, which should further reduce the need to ever use the individual contact lists in iChat. Add contacts and groups through the plus button; remove contacts by selecting them and hitting delete. Also added is the ability to flip images when using the send camera snapshot feature. This flips snapshots so that objects appear naturally and text is readable.

Changes from Chax 2.2:

  • Added the ability to manage groups and contacts to the unified contact list.
  • Added an option to flip images when taking a camera snapshot (Buddies -> Send Camera Snapshot…)
