EventBox Update (703)
The Return of the Services
We’re happy to return the following services with this build:
- Digg
- Identi.ca
Digg has gained a feature and lost one - we identified that the upcoming view in Digg was of limited utility, so it’s now gone. We have added the ability to perform searches in Digg using Digg’s search engine.
Application Move
You might have noticed that some applications ask you to move themselves to the Applications folder. I have seen three variations so far:
- App runs from a bundle, asks to copy itself to Applications
- App runs from a folder, asks to move itself but doesn’t relaunch
- App runs from a folder, asks to move itself and relaunches
The first scenario doesn’t apply in our case as we ship in a zip file. The reason I think scenarios 2) and 3) are not ideal is because they break the “flow” - you’ve just started the application and you want to run it but instead you get interrupted with a relaunch or worse, the app just quits and doesn’t relaunch itself.
We’ve taken a different approach - we will ask you on startup but actually perform the move when you quit, so that you don’t get interrupted on startup and move on with using EventBox.
Bug Fixes
We have included a few bug fixes - we fixed the problem with dates in the future (Google Reader) and also a crasher bug.
I’d like to thank everyone who has been submitting bugs - your help is greatly appreciated. Special thanks to the following people who have gone the extra mile (in no particular order):
- Andy Couch
