MarsEdit Update to v2.1
This morning I saw that MarsEdit had gone to v2.1 with a bunch of improvements in the release notes. Honestly, the performance is nice, but there has been one little annoying thing that I've mentioned to the author and he's yet to address - probably because he thinks it's not necessary. That is the minimal size of the posting window.
Window sizes, I've come to learn, are a very personal thing. I've had some people look at my 80x24 terminal screens and think I was insane. But it's what I learned on, and the idea of having a big, wide, terminal is just something I may never use. I'll always deal with 80 column editor windows, and "taller" terminals are OK, and I use them often enough, but for a lot of the work I do, smaller is better.
So when I started using MarsEdit, I liked the fact that it could be personalized to the weblog I had (WordPress), and that just about everything about it was configurable. Very nice. But then I tried to make the posting window narrower - like an editor window, and it stopped short of what I wanted. Now, I'm guessing that I can go into the nib file and change this minimum size, but I sent the author an email and his response was that he needed to make sure there was room for the 'sidebar' in the window. Well... I don't use the sidebar, and do I've got more space than most.
He said he'd look at it, but I'm guessing that it's not going to amount to anything. Maybe I'll ask him again today.
Anyway, the update is nice, and the tool is, in general, a wonderful way to post to just about all the weblogs out there.
UPDATE: basically, he said 'Take IB and change the nib'. Not what I hoped, especially with updates, but it's always been a possibility.
