ForkLift 1.7.5 Snow Leopard service release

September 17th, 2009

We’re continuing our arduous work of weeding out the bugs that inevitably showed up with the transition to Snow Leopard.
This update fixes a bug that involved only a small number of users, but which simply broke the rename operation for them, making ForkLift a bit impractical in some cases ;)

Also, we’ve had some positive vibe from the direction of Apple’s DTS team in the past days, so we are at the moment rather optimists concerning the one major outstanding problem we have on Snow Leopard – the broken AFP connection feature.

So, hopefully, we will be back with another update in a short while.

ForkLift 1.7.5 can be downloaded from this URL:

Have a great weekend everyone

ForkLift 1.7.4 Snow Leopard service release

September 8th, 2009

Delivering on our earlier promise, we’re bringing you this new build that should correct bugs and some of the lost functionality that have been discovered by Snow Leopard users in the 1.7.3sl hotfix release.

I herby thank everyone for their willing assistance in tracking down these bugs – without your reports and help, our job would have been incredibly more difficult.

Fixed bugs:

- QuickLook: will now work on remote volumes (Snow Leopard)

- AFP: “Connect as” to AFP now works (Leopard only)

- Spotlight: a bug caused items to be deleted from Spotlight search result in some circumstances

- WebDAV SharePoint server incompatibility fixed

- a couple of minor fixes

As expected, this update is a free one, runs on Leopard and Snow Leopard, and is recommended for users of both systems.

You can download the build directly from here:

Have a nice week everyone!

101 Giveaway WINNERS

September 7th, 2009

Well, it’s been a fun ride People – our thanks to each and all who took part and helped us spread the word about our Educational offer. And while we would’ve been happy with a slightly more intense response, it was still a great learning experience – which was the whole point anyway.

And now, let’s announce the happy winners!

Although we promised a random drawing of the winners, we decided to change the rules a bit.
Because there were 105 correct entries in total, competing for the 101 free licenses available, the random drawing would have meant choosing four entries that didn’t win.
But we don’t like making losers. We much rather make winners.

So we decided to reward everyone who took part with a free license.
I hope everybody’s fine with this.

Go on, check your mailboxes already!

Thanks again
BinaryNights
