This is a very minor update that only fixes the hang-on-launch that people were seeing in the previous version. Sniper was hanging because it was finding a tag in the contacts list which it didn’t expect. That should be fixed now – so if Sniper wouldn’t launch for you, try this latest build.
I can’t personally [...]

Of screens that never were. This is a quick mockup I did for a possible Sniper window style about six months ago. Instead of using the current black-and-red three-pane view, I tried going with a two-pane view plus a small info [...]

As part of the Mugshot build process, I have a custom AppleScript that runs and converts my Flickr method bindings OmniOutliner document into a different format so it can get bundled and included with the app. (It’s much less complicated than it sounds, I swear.)

Just a few new things:
Added a progress bar and status message to the action window. Now you’ll have some indication about how long until it finishes.
Fixed a bug with image resolution that would cause all higher-resolution images to download as very small images. (This is something I forget to do every time I’m using NSImage [...]

Quick turnaround on this one since I think these are features that should have been there in the first place! I added a few new things to Download Color Field Images:
You can now specify how many images you would like to download. It will download as many as it finds, or the number you request, [...]
