| Posted: 27 Apr 2010 04:10 PM PDT It’s been a good day to be a Mac-based developer. Panic released a big update to their file-transfer app, Transmit, and Bare Bones released version 9.5 of their powerful text editor, BBEdit. The new features in Transmit 4 are great - particularly the Disks feature which lets you mount a remote server (such as an Amazon S3 bucket) as a volume on your desktop. You can then easily drag and drop files to it in the Finder (the Transmit app doesn’t even need to be running). I’m still getting used to the UI and navigation changes (it took me a while to find the ‘disconnect’ button - it’s changed to an ‘eject’ style button in the top right of the remote server pane) but overall it’s very impressive. It’s also interesting to compare the launch of both apps - Transmit 4 was announced to a big fanfare, but, in contrast, Bare Bones released BBEdit 9.5 without hardly a whisper. Panic also created a fantastic Javascript-enhanced webpage announcing all the new features, whereas Bare Bones were happy to simply publish a long list of release notes (though they are wonderfully verbose - including this obscure WoW reference). |
