At the moment MMISoftware is testing a number of their programs to make sure they work with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)…

Four days with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), and what have I found?

Has Apple broken iCal in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)?

A very interesting post over at the TextMate blog where reasons for not supporting earlier versions of Mac OS X are discussed – see TextMate Blog » 2.0 Will Require Leopard.

Just released a minor update of iCalMaker.

This is a very minor update and just includes an updated version of the esellerate sales engine.

iCalMaker is available from MMISoftware (http://www.mmisoftware.co.uk) and is a 800 kb download (http://www.mmisoftware.co.uk/downloads/icalmaker.dmg.sit) and can be bought at the MMISoftware Store. A fully functional trail version of the software is available, and an activation code can be purchased for $34.95.

Work has continued on updating MMISoftware programs…

This time it was the turn of JPEGCleaner and quickWebAlbum to be updated.

I have just spent the last 15 hours making iCalMaker ‘universal’.

On one hand the process, as Apple promised, has been easy. If your code-base is up to date, and doesn’t use any ‘old’ calls, then it is literally a case of clicking a few buttons.

A couple of users have commented that iCal files exported from iCalMaker contain \, (backslash comma) instead of , (comma).

This is weird…. The reason that it was \, was because in earlier versions of iCal the , on its own caused problems (why? I have no idea!). Anyway, the fix for this was quite simple and just required the removal of the \… I can only conclude that something ‘internal’ on the Mac has changed… Either it is in the way files are saved, or the way iCal imports files.

I am now worried that this fix has broken iCalMaker for an earlier version of iCal. Unfortunately I have no way of testing it.

Footnote: This ‘bug’ fix will be rolled in to iCalMaker and will be part of the ‘Universal Binary’ release, which should be out as soon as the ordered MacBook Pro arrives and the ‘Universal’ can be tested.

This week an iCalMaker user sent a really useful Palm Desktop file. The file contained appointments dating back to 2000 and there must have been several hundred appointments. The file proved to be a really useful test for iCalMaker.
