Beta Testing Delayed

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Beta testing for Yahoo IDs is delayed. If you signed up for the beta test, I will contact you when a beta is ready. Thanks to all who volunteered.

Yahoo! IDs Don’t Work

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Update: Yahoo! has talked to me about the issue and showed me how to deal with Yahoo! IDs. The next version of DeliciousSafari will have support for Yahoo! IDs. Stay tuned.

Good news

You can now access delicious.com with a Yahoo! ID.

Bad news

Yahoo! IDs don’t work with the delicious.com API. That means DeliciousSafari, Bookmarks Pro, and any other application or website built using the delicious.com API will not work if you try to login with your Yahoo! ID. If you have an old school delicious.com account then you’re fine. This only affects new users who have to sign up using a Yahoo! ID.

I’ve contacted Yahoo! about the problem. Hopefully it will be fixed ASAP.

Facebook and Twitter

Friday, October 9th, 2009

DeliciousSafari is on Facebook and Twitter.

The first 10 fans who comment on DeliciousSafari’s Facebook page get Delicious Bookmarks Pro for free.

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Search ScreenshotSearch has finally been added to DeliciousSafari in version 1.9. You can now search your bookmarks by tag or title. This release also includes minor bug fixes.

Changes

  • Added search
  • Changed Save Bookmark shortcut to Command+Y
  • Fixed installer problems

DeliciousSafari 1.8 – Snow Leopard Ready

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Version 1.8 of DeliciousSafari is available. Feature wise, this release is identical to 1.7 except that it also works on Snow Leopard.

However, Tiger is no longer supported in 1.8. If you’re using Tiger or Safari 3, you can download 1.7 here.

Beta Testing DeliciousSafari 1.8

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Update: Thanks for the fast response everyone! I now have enough beta testers for this release.

If you’re interested in beta testing DeliciousSafari 1.8–the Snow Leopard compatibility release–please let me know.

Snow Leopard Compatibility

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

DeliciousSafari is not yet compatible with Snow Leopard. I’m working on a release to address this issue. In the meantime, you can use the workaround described in the documentation pages. This workaround may also fix other Safari plug-ins that stopped working in Snow Leopard.

Bookmarks Pro 2.0 Released

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Bookmarks Pro 2.0 SearchBookmarks Pro 2.0 is now available on the iTunes App Store. This version lets you:

  • Search tag and bookmark titles
  • Open bookmarks in a built in web browser (or Safari, if you prefer)
  • Browse contacts that have URLs

This version also includes several bug fixes and rotation has been removed. I apologize to the customers who purchased Bookmarks Pro 1.1 without realizing it was exactly the same as the free version aside from not having advertisements. I failed to properly inform you in the application description. However, with the new features added to version 2.0, I believe Bookmarks Pro is now far superior to the free version.

DeliciousSafari 1.7

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Version 1.7 of DeliciousSafari is available. Many bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new features are included in this release. Special thanks to the 60 beta testers who tracked down and reported bugs to make this a solid release.

Changes

  • URL icons (favicon) are displayed next to bookmarks
  • Added a toolbar button for saving bookmarks
  • Added spell checking to the Name and Notes fields
  • Fixed tag suggestions on Tiger that stopped working with Delicious.com 2.0
  • Increased maximum length of Notes field to 1000 to take advantage of new maximum allowed by Delicious.com 2.0
  • Bookmark saving is faster (now processed in the background so you don’t have to wait for the save to complete)
  • Safari startup is faster (tag menu is now generated on the fly, rather than when Safari starts)
  • Improved reliability of Import Bookmarks from Safari
  • Fixed several issues that prevented DeliciousSafari from loading on some computers
  • No longer a SIMBL plug-in
  • Added Invalid Credential notification when your Delicious password has changed and needs to be updated in DeliciousSafari
  • Checks for Delicious updates every 15 minutes in case you add Delicious bookmarks through something other than DeliciousSafari
  • Logout really works now (it used to leave your username and password in the keychain)
  • Menu item text is now truncated in the middle if the text is longer than 60 characters
  • DeliciousSafari now opens a Safari window if there isn’t one, rather than doing nothing

As SIMBL is no longer needed you can delete it from /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL, but only do so if you know you have no other SIMBL plug-ins, otherwise those plug-ins will stop working.

Bookmarks iPhone App Available on iTunes

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Bookmarks, an iPhone app that lets you access you Delicious bookmarks, is now available on the iTunes App Store. Please try it out and send me your feedback.

Thank you to the beta testers who helped me work out some of the issues holding up this release.
