Following on the heels of, and, we’ve updated the rest of our main app suite (excluding ). As always, you can find the updates within the app or by downloading a new version (direct customers), or in the Mac App Store app (App Store customers). Here’s a little bit about what’s new in each appSome behind the scenes changes, and a fix for an annoying bug that could cause Desktop Curtain to stall for a few seconds after clicking a Desktop-covering curtain. We’ve rewritten the Leech extension to work with the new rules of Safari 12, and added support for Full Screen and Split View modes.
Fixed a long delay before the menu appeared for those using dynamic desktop images in Mojave, and Resolutionator now supports Dark Mode in macOS Mojave. We’ve added a checkbox so you can include windows from menu bar apps, fixed a bug that broke Time Sink on 10.9.5, and the Escape key can now be used to cancel interval dragging in the Activity Report window. Yes, it’s no longer for sale, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get updated. This update adds more fields to the CSV export, you can search for ‘or more’ star ratings by adding a plus (.+), and we fixed a preview-related crash when previewing a huge number of movies. And oh yes, if you use Smart Playlists with subdivisions, try selecting more than one subdivision—notice the search bar now lets you see the Union and Intersection of those selections. All of these updates are live now, though App Store customers may not see them just yet—but they should show as available very soon now.Posted inComments Off on We’ve updated a number of our apps.
We’ve released updates to a few of our apps. These are all quite minor changes; you can read the release notes for each if you’re interested in the nitty-gritty.We did add a new AppleScript command to Resolutionator, if you’d like to control your display’s resolution via AppleScript and Witch includes a blurred-translucent background option. To see it, either select the Default item on the Presets pop-up on the Appearance tab, or uncheck the Background color box on that same tab. 4.1.21 4.1.22.
3.0.7. 1.1. 3.9.9Why aren’t there any App Store updates for those apps that are in the App Store? Because these changes only affect the direct versions of Desktop Curtain and Witch (we fixed some stuff related to the new crossgrade feature).
Witch’s blur background may come in a future App Store update, though, if the App Store review team doesn’t deem it a new feature. Remember you can to the direct version of Witch today if you want the blur!As always, you can update via the in-app updater, or just download a fresh copy of the app from our web site. (If you happen to be running the macOS Sierra public beta, you’ll need to download Butler and Resolutionator from our site this time only, as we had to fix a Sierra-specific update issue.)Update: just got bumped to version 4.1.22 to in 4.1.21.
Sorry about those!Posted inComments Off on A few minor (non App Store) updates. Today’s release of 3.0.6 marks our second straight update that removes a feature for App Store users. And just like the, the App Store version of Desktop Curtain has lost Spaces support.
(See the linked Witch 3.9.8 post for the nitty-gritty on why we had to do this and keep reading this post to see how you can regain Spaces support.)in this update are mainly behind-the-scenes, but there is a nice new retina menu bar icon and Desktop Curtain now uses our. Direct users can update via the in-app updater, or by downloading a new copy from our web site. App Store users should see the update in the App Store app shortly, if not now.To help those who use the App Store version of Desktop Curtain and rely on Spaces, Desktop Curtain has gained a new skill, just like Witch did: The ability for App Store users to freely and permanently crossgrade to the direct version of Desktop Curtain, which continues to support Spaces.Posted inComments Off on Desktop Curtain 3.0.6 released. Ever since Peter and I relaunched Many Tricks in 2010, we’ve never had an official software license agreement. The closest thing we’ve had is, which explains limits on the use of our apps across multiple Macs (tl;dr: Use them on as many Macs as you personally use). However, we’ve never had an actual end user license agreement (EULA) that spells out the legal license you agree to when you purchase one of our apps.Well, —it’s also permanently linked in the sidebar here, and will be accessible from within our apps. And a really big thanks to Rich Siegel at, who generously agreed to let us use his document as a starting point.
I found the Bare Bones EULA to be well written, brief, and easily understood; hopefully our version, which has only minor changes, is still all of those things.After six years, why did we suddenly need an EULA? The truth is we probably should have had one from day one, but never really felt the need. Recently, however, we’ve received inquiries from government agencies and larger companies interested in buying our apps and many of these customers aren’t allowed to purchase our apps unless we have an actual legal license agreement. So now we do.Note that this doesn’t change anything relative to the; we still allow you to use one license to install our apps on as many Macs as you personally use. We just needed to have a formal legal software license for larger customers and government agencies.Posted inComments Off on The new Many Tricks’ end user license agreement. Starting with our recent update to, we rolled out a new help system.
![]()
We developed this new system to solve some aggravations we were having with Apple’s built-in help system, and to provide our users with a better help experience. This new help system will be rolling out to all our apps in the very near future.Here’s a quick peek at the first screen of new help:There are many aspects to our new help system that should make in-app help work much better for our users—some new features, some existing features working better, and a revamped look and feel.Posted inComments Off on Announcing our new in-app help system. Yes, that’s right, we’ve updated the updater in our direct apps. Our direct apps rely on to inform you when there are new versions available. Over the weekend, we were made aware of a in how we implemented Sparkle.
Basically, if your network is already compromised by what’s called a, then it’s possible an attacker could use the Sparkle update mechanism in our apps to remotely execute code on your Mac. That’s bad.Although this is a relatively small exposure (as you must already be on a compromised network), we felt it was important to act on it right away, so we’ve updated all of our apps to use Sparkle over secure HTTP (HTTPS). Please update any directly-purchased Many Tricks apps immediately.Important: There’s a bit of a Catch-22 here in order to get you this update, it must come over insecure HTTP, because that’s how Sparkle in the app you’re using is configured. If you are concerned that you might be on a compromised network, please do not update using the in-app updater. Instead, just download the relevant app(s) directly, which uses HTTPS.If you have any questions on this update, please leave a comment or email us directly, and we’ll do our best to address your questions.Note: Although our App Store apps don’t use Sparkle, we know they’re out of date with some of the other minor bug fixes that came with these releases. We’ll be submitting updates to the App Store next week to get App Store users current.Posted inComments Off on All direct apps updated to improve update security.
People ask us all the time, “When are your apps going on sale?” And we always reply “We don’t know,” because, generally, we don’t know. But we know now: Our apps—when you purchase directly from us—are on sale for the remainder of 2015, and there are two ways to take advantage of the sale. Option One: Own Them AllFirst off, you can for just $50—that’s $62 off the normal price of $112 for all 10.
All ten apps, fifty bucks total. These are fully licensed versions, not some special one-off, so they’re all eligible for upgrade pricing when major new releases come out.On the charity drive front, we will donate $10 for each bundle sold to the, to help with the ongoing global refugee crisis. And to get things started, we’ve already donated $500 to the fund. Option Two: Save Some CoinIf you don’t really want all our apps (we don’t understand such thinking, of course!), you’ll want to use option two: Every purchase is 30% off for the remainder of the year.We will donate 10% of our net proceeds from any individual sales to that same. About the Mac App StoreYou may have noticed that this sale is only available to customers who purchase directly from us; our App Store app pricing is unchanged, and we can’t create a bundle of apps there anyway.So why aren’t the individual MAS versions on sale? Quite honestly, we feel Apple has ignored the MAS for too long, and as a result, the customer experience is not what it should be.
Add in the recent snafu with certificates, and we would like to reward those who choose to purchase direct. That’s why this sale is for direct customers only.So there you have it, the Many Tricks year-end sale event and charity drive.Posted inComments Off on The Many Tricks holiday sale event and charity drive. There are a couple of changes in the soon-to-be-released that required us to update our direct-sales app update mechanism—an incredible open-source framework known as. (App Store versions don’t have this update mechanism, because the App Store app handles app updates.)Because of how we implemented Sparkle, we found that the updater wasn’t working properly in El Capitan. So we needed to fix this prior to El Capitan’s release.
As a result, today we have updated every single direct app we sell (and even one we give away):, andWe have pushed all these updates live, so you should see them automatically (if you have our apps set to auto-update), or you can look in the Preferences Updates section of a given app and manually check for updates. You can also download the complete new version from our site, if you prefer (just delete the old one and replace with the new; you won’t lose your settings.)Posted in,. Over the last few days, several users let me know they were unable to download our apps from the Mac App Store. They reported that they were receiving this error message when trying to purchase or update:App Store Error: Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.Emails like this are frustrating, because we have absolutely no official way to help such users—Apple handles everything related to the store after we submit our app. They test the app, hopefully approve the app, and then host it for downloading.
If the app makes it through this process, it’s pretty clear the code itself is good, and any download issues are related to the user’s system.In theory, Apple (in exchange for their 30% cut of our revenue) should be helping these users solve such problems. But based on what I’ve heard, that’s not usually the case, so they end up writing to me.
After a bit of web searching, I to the problem: Keychain Access.In particular, the settings for OCSP and CRL in Keychain Access Preferences Certificates. For some apps, and for some users (but not for all apps, and not for all users; I don’t know why), these values must be set to “Best Attempt:”. If these two values are set to anything else, it’s possible that some apps and/or updates will fail to download with the above-noted error message. I’ve never personally touched those settings, and I was curious why others might; a friend pointed out, which recommends changing the settings to reduce background bandwidth usage by the ocsp process.In any event, if you’re having troubles downloading apps and updates—not just ours, but from any developer—from the App Store, check these settings in your Keychain Access app.Posted in,.
