Besides all the bug fix updates in the past weeks, me and my partner have also been working on a new feature for iTweak. This feature is called “File Copy” and will come in especially handy to those who spice up their sites with lot’s of scripts or images. The new feature will bulk copy files or folders from one location to another. So instead of you manually moving the files from folder x to the published site, iTweak will fully automate the process for you.
The way in which it works is pretty self-explanatory, so just go ahead and download the new version.
Sorry everyone for the thousand iTweak updates I have been pushing out in the last two weeks. I think we moved from version 1.4.5 to 1.4.9 (that’s four updates). The basic changes of all these updates are as follows:
Favicon Tag now XHTML Transitional valid
Contact Form is no longer based on redirects. Thus, Google shouldn’t give you any sitemap errors.
Password Protection made a bit easier by combining the two textfields into one. The tutorial is already updated.
The addition of a favicon causing weird characters such as “d>d>” to show up in the site; now fixed.
iTweak no longer reads widget markup, google verification and other unimportant files. This makes the processes way faster and no longer causes the hitcounter error on the google verification file.
iTweak will no longer fail to add the contact form if other xml files are present.
Contactform will now take the style of textbox in which the keyword is contained for 100%. No more ugly fonts.
Fixed another important bug in which the favicon addition causes your site to end up so corrupt you can’t even trash. Sorry about that.
Lot’s of bugs are fixed.
Please just continue to update to the latest versions of iTweak. The newest version of iTweak is now 1.4.9. Make sure you run that version before contacting me about errors or bugs. They might have been fixed already.
Instead of just another plain boring article, tutorial or release post, I thought I’d make something more interesting this time. I’m gonna share a whole collection of statistics for this site. Short and easy. Here you go:
General Site Statistics:
Visitors from January to August 2008: 1,341,000
Visitors from August 1st to 17th: 84,000
30% of all Visitors stay 5 to 20 minutes on the site
4,000 downloads of iWebExpander since iTweaks introduction.
3,500 downloads of the iTweak EULA. Weird innit?
I know some of the stats aren’t shocking … but for a site that relies on iWeb Tutorials, I think it’s quite stunning. I am especially wondering to charge something for iTweak … guess why I didn’t put any donations record in the page. Just joking.
As promised in the previous post, I am releasing the update for iMap. This is update 2.6. I really recommend that you update to this version. It is by now the most stable and best build of iMap (well the best version is the next one … but you get the idea). The changes are listed below, but you can take a look at them through a video as well.
The helpbook has been heavily improved. It now includes a whole documentation, FAQ as well as a written guide for the online video tutorial.
iMaps interface buttons have been modified to get enabled/disabled according to their usage.
Full support for MobileMe (and still .Mac)
iMap can now be controlled via shortcuts. Read more about them in the helpbook.
Those were some of the changes that you are actually “seeing.” Here is a list of some bugs that got fixed:
Fixed the bug with no copy/paste
Fixed the bug where iMap failed to add Meta-Tags due to the Google Verification file.
Fixed the bug where iMap gave the message it was not supported by the architecture.
Fixed the bug that iMap adds the Google Verification file into the sitemap. Google Verfication, index and all other unimportant HTML files are no longer included in the sitemap.
Many other minor bugs fixed…
I hope you enjoy the new update. Though, don’t be to happy … iMap 3 is on it’s way.
Having not posted for the paste weeks, I thought I’ll give you all a bit of news on how I am going about iMap 2.6 and iMap 3.0. As most of you know, I am working on both of these versions at the same time. iMap 3.0 will be Leopard only. iMap 2.6 will be the last Tiger build and so I am trying to get all things as perfect as possible.
I’ve made a little video to show you what I’ve changed in iMap 2.6.
By the way … don’t think I am actually talking to myself while going through folders.
I am wanting to release the 2.6 version of iMap by tomorrow. If you are still interested in helping out with the help book, then check this post out.
Lastly, if you are interested in localizing iMap into languages than the ones listed below, go ahead and drop me a mail. Those who are interested in helping out in both help books and/or localizing will get the iMap 3.0 for free. If you have purchased iMap before, you can get the upgrade for free. Yes, iMap 3.0 will be a paid upgrade.
… guess why I didn’t put any donations record in the page. Just joking.
