If you've been holding out on getting a FolderGlance license, now may very well be the time to grab a license over at MUPromo. FolderGlance is going for only $9.99, which is 50% off its regular $20 price. Enjoy!

I've just released FolderGlance 2.5.3. This version improves the overall performance of FolderGlance. It also resolves a few bugs, including one that sometimes made FolderGlance unable to display the correct name for a file or folder. This bug usually affected multi-byte encoded file and folder names, and was triggered whenever FolderGlance tried to abbreviate such file or folder names.

I released a minor update to FolderGlance today. The new version fixes a few bugs, making it possible to use more than one separator in your custom folder list and fixing a problem with keeping track of the current Finder selection. The new version also adds the ability to have files and applications in your list of custom folders, as well as support for file previews in the root context menu. Check it out or download it now!

I'm pleased to announce the release of FolderGlance 2.5, whose main new feature is its ability to run on Snow Leopard. Judging by the volume of e-mail I have received, I know that many of you have been waiting for a Snow Leopard compatible version of FolderGlance. The new version is available for download as a zipped disk image, or you can visit the FolderGlance product page.

The new version does not add many other new features, apart from the ability to generate previews using QuickLook and an on/off toggle to turn FolderGlance on and off. It retains most of the features from its Leopard ancestor, although I have had to remove the language localizations and change some features due to the re-write that was necessary to bring FolderGlance to Snow Leopard. The most substantial non-feature related change is that FolderGlance now is a commercial product. The trial version that is available online limits the maximum number of sub-folders you can dig down into and includes purchase reminders. You can purchase a license online to unlock the full capabilities of FolderGlance on Snow Leopard. The earlier version for Mac OS X 10.5 and earlier remains free as before (although it will not work on Mac OS X 10.6 and later). One license is $20.

Happy FolderGlance'ing!

So, there was no new Apple Tablet announced at yesterday's "It's Only Rock and Roll" event, which is pretty much as expected. However, there is one piece of information in the public developer documentation that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere that adds further creedence to the existence of such a tablet, and it's (more or less) impending release: Behold, the iPhone multi-touch API is now available on Snow Leopard.

The following methods were added to the NSResponder interface in Snow Leopard:

• - (void)touchesBeganWithEvent:(NSEvent *)event
• - (void)touchesMovedWithEvent:(NSEvent *)event
• - (void)touchesCancelledWithEvent:(NSEvent *)event
• - (void)touchesEndedWithEvent:(NSEvent *)event

Why would Apple include these methods if a multi-touch capable Mac (and I'm not talking about the laptop multi-touch trackpads now, people) were not in the works?
