I just put up the latest release of QLColorCode, and it’s a doozy! Well, not really, but it does (probably) fix a crash bug that was biting me pretty frequently. It also adds some more miscellaneous language UTIs and lets you put a cap on the size of rendered files so you don’t [...]

QLColorCode 0.4.1 is out now. I briefly released 0.4 but then realized that it was completely and utterly broken by an untested, last-minute, “this can’t possibly break anything” change. You think I would’ve learned by now…

The change list is short and sweet. I’ve added UTIs for a few more languages (Tcl, JSP, [...]

There’s a new QLColorCode out. Two actually! Soon after releasing 0.2 I found a few annoying problems so I went ahead and released 0.3.

Thumbnailing is supported now, and the syntax highlighting engine has changed from Pygments to Highlight, mainly because it’s about 10x faster but also because it covers more languages. [...]

One of the features I’ve really liked in Leopard has been Quick Look. It’s a really nice way to browse files quickly, without opening up a bunch of random apps. However, the QL plugin that Apple provides for reading source code is, well, just plain boring. You just get the text, in [...]

Hi folks,

I just uploaded Backup Bouncer 0.1.2 for your backup-tool-testing pleasure. Get it at the usual place. Not a whole lot has changed, but there’s a fix to extended attribute handling that solves some problems in Leopard. Andreas Fuchs provided a patch for this and also mentioned that SuperDuper can’t handle dangling [...]

I finally got around to updating ScriptExport to the official iPhoto ‘08 export plugin SDK, added a nice icon and treated this as a good excuse to call it 1.0. You can get the result in the usual place. Here’s the ChangeLog:

VERY LIKELY BREAKS OLD SCRIPTEXPORT SCRIPTS!

When you’ve got a project like ScriptExport that uses an undocumented plugin API for an Apple product you tend to greet product releases (and even updates) with a bemused sigh. The iPhoto export API has actually been pretty stable, but it’s always unsettled me to think of the extra work in store if Apple [...]

Let’s hear it for xar, the first copier to ace the Backup Bouncer test suite! In my last post I mentioned that they were just one test away, and now that bug 19 is fixed they’ve nailed it. Kudos to Rob Braun and the rest of the folks working on xar (if there [...]

I just tried testing the latest SVN HEAD revision of xar, and wow.

I just released Backup Bouncer 0.1.1, because the ACL tests in 0.1.0 were totally broken.

Get it while it’s hot!
