Version 3.2.2 of DropDMG is now available. This is a free update for owners of DropDMG 3.0 that includes the following enhancements:

• It is now possible to set (or override) layout variables from AppleScript or the command line.

• The HybridFSArgs esoteric preference lets you control which filesystems DropDMG uses for hybrid .iso disk images.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes creating a disk image failed if it contained a very large number of small files.
• Fixed a bug where .iso files would sometimes be owned by root instead of the user.
• Made various minor adjustments to the toolbar icons in the main window.
• Added Japanese localization.

• Improved compatibility with pre-release versions of Mac OS X.
• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• SpamSieve no longer links against AppleScriptKit. This removes some GUI scripting functionality (which is now largely available by other means) but works around an OS bug that could prevent SpamSieve from launching.
• Worked around a bug in Apple Mail’s iCloud rule syncing.
• SpamSieve is better at moving trained messages when Outlook has lost track of the special Junk E-mail folder.
• Fixed a problem where Apple Mail couldn’t communicate with SpamSieve when the file permissions were incorrect.
• Fixed a bug where SpamSieve couldn’t load any addresses from Outlook if it reported an error while getting the e-mail address of a contact.
• Fixed a bug editing counts in the Corpus window (due to suspected 64-bit OS bug).
• Added more checks that the folders SpamSieve relies upon have the proper permissions.
• Improved error reporting for Apple Mail, Growl, and more.

• Improved the Japanese localization.
• SpamSieve now requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

SpamSieve 2.9.7 works with Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.8 and requires an e-mail client. Older versions are available for older operating systems. For information about previous releases of SpamSieve, please see the version history.

Version 3.2.1 of DropDMG is now available. This is a free update for owners of DropDMG 3.0 that includes the following enhancements:

• Fixed a bug where DropDMG sometimes didn’t create large enough disk images for files that were stored using HFS+ compression (e.g. applications from the Mac App Store).
• Fixed a bug where the log showed the source folder’s allocated size rather than its logical size.
• Fixed a bug creating a disk image with a layout that had text but no background picture.
• Fixed a bug that could cause DropDMG to create a device image with a dirty HFS+ journal. If the disk image was read-only, it would not be possible to mount the disk image. If you have such a disk image, you can fix it by converting it to a read-write format. The journal will then be replayed and saved in a clean state.
• Fixed a bug where DropDMG could hang when using the contextual menu in the log.
• Added instructions for burning a disc with a Custom volume icon.
• Updated the Italian localization.

Version 2.9.6 of SpamSieve is now available. This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Worked around a bug in Mac OS X 10.8.2 that could cause spam operations in Postbox to be very slow. If you’re using Postbox, you can update your SpamSieve plug-in by following steps 1 through 6 in the Setting Up Postbox section of the manual.
• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• SpamSieve now understands that @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com are equivalent, so it’s better at finding the proper inbox in Apple Mail when you train a message as good. (For non-Apple IMAP and POP mail accounts, you can define aliases manually, as before. Go to the Accounts tab of Mail’s preferences and enter all the addresses—separated by commas—in the Email Address field.)
• Customers have reported that Sync Services does not work reliably on Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Thus, rather than having Outlook use Sync Services to sync its contacts with the system address book, SpamSieve now offers a feature to load the Outlook address book directly. (This ensures that SpamSieve doesn’t mark messages from people in your address book as spam.) Outlook users are encouraged to make sure that Use Entourage/Outlook address book is checked in SpamSieve’s preferences and to click the Load button. For more information, see the Use Entourage/Outlook address book section of the manual.
• SpamSieve is now better able to handle invalid data received from a mail program.
• When Using a Spam Mailbox on the Server, SpamSieve is better at handling errors from Mail that could cause a trained spam message to go to the local spam mailbox instead.
• Training a message as good in Apple Mail now removes any flags, in case you were using Spam Message Colors in Apple Mail.
• Added How should I configure the junk filter on my mail server? to the FAQ.
• The Automatically Deleting Old Spam Messages section of the manual now includes instructions for Outlook.
• Worked around various file permissions problems that could prevent training in Apple Mail from working.
• Worked around a bug in Migration Assistant that could prevent SpamSieve from working properly with Apple Mail.
• The plug-in and scripts installers are better able to handle non-standard folder structures.
• Fixed a bug where SpamSieve was unable to see the contents of certain malformed messages, leading to poor filtering accuracy.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes setting the date in the Statistics window didn’t work when SpamSieve was running in 64-bit mode.
• Fixed a regression where where messages trained as good in Apple Mail didn’t move back to the inbox if you were using a local spam mailbox and no inbox matched the message’s recipients.
• Made various improvements to the manual.

SpamSieve 2.9.6 works with Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.8 and requires an e-mail client. Older versions are available for older operating systems. For information about previous releases of SpamSieve, please see the version history.

Version 3.2 of DropDMG is now available. This is a free update for owners of DropDMG 3.0 that includes the following enhancements:

Highlights

• DropDMG’s user interface is now fully optimized for Macs with Retina displays, as well as multi-display setups.
• DropDMG now renders Retina-quality background images. The source background picture can be a 72 or 144dpi image, a PDF file, or a multi-resolution TIFF file. DropDMG will render a multi-resolution background picture that’s optimized for display on both Retina and non-Retina Macs.
• Rather than adding an application icon to a layout, you now have the option of adding an application icon placeholder. This makes it easy to use the same layout to create disk images for different applications.
• Previously, you could add an Applications folder symlink to layouts by dragging and dropping your Applications folder. There’s now a dedicated button for adding the symlink, to make the feature easier to use and more discoverable.
• Layouts now support a maximum icon size of 512 points (up from 128).
• DropDMG can now create segmented ZIP archives (e.g. .z01, .z02, .zip). Such archives cannot be expanded by Mac OS X’s built-in Archive Utility, but there are free third-party expansion utilities such as The Unarchiver.
• Added the Append version number feature. When imaging or archiving an application or installer, this option will add its version number to the end of the filename.
• Added support for Notification Center (requires OS X 10.8).
• Added the Burn OS X Install DVD feature, an easier way to make your own installer or emergency DVD.
• Streamlined disk image creation by no longer optimizing images for restore that don’t need such optimization.
• Added the ZlibLevel esoteric preference, which lets you set DropDMG to create .dmg files more quickly but with less compression.
• Added the DisableRetinaBackgroundPictures esoteric preference, which lets you create non-Retina background pictures in order to work around a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.

Other Improvements

• DropDMG now tells the system that it can use the integrated GPU, which should reduce battery use on newer MacBook Pros.
• You can now remove the background image from a layout using the contextual menu on the image view.
• DropDMG now offers advice for dealing with “Resource busy” errors.
• Expanded the Making Images With Background Pictures instructions to describe how to make a standard disk image for distributing a Mac application.
• Improved the What information should I include when I report a problem? page.
• Improved the folder name when a folder for segments already exists.
• The documentation now recommends choosing a background picture that’s at least 437 points wide, to account for the Finder’s minimum window width.
• The crash reporter can now make recommendations based on the contents of the crash log.
• Deleting a layout, license, or configuration now moves it to the trash rather than deleting it outright.
• DropDMG itself now has a Retina disk image background, and it shares the layout with other C-Command products.
• After purchasing, DropDMG used to show your user image to indicate that it had been successfully personalized. It now shows a generic checkmark to avoid prompting you for Contacts access on OS X 10.8.
• Added a link to the forum in the Help menu.

Fixes

• Reverted to version 1.2.3 of the Growl SDK to avoid problems with high CPU usage, internal errors, and crashes.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the layout editor would reset the scroll position.
• Fixed a bug where the tooltips in the main window’s pop-up menu didn’t always update when a configuration was changed.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes packages weren’t wrapped.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes disk images were created without enough space for the background picture or custom icon.
• Layout thumbnail previews no longer change the aspect ratio.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes changes to the segment size in the temporary options dialog didn’t take effect.
• Fixed an issue where, when loading your recent destination folders, DropDMG would sometimes prompt you with a dialog to find folders on unmounted volumes.
• Fixed a bug where TIFF files were not allowed for background pictures.
• Fixed a bug creating images in .cdr format with custom icons or layouts.
• Fixed a bug where there was an extra gray strip next to the action button in the Layouts tab of the preferences.

• Updated the Apple Mail plug-in to work with Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard) for Mac OS X 10.6.8. If, after installing this update, you don’t see the SpamSieve commands in Mail’s Message menu, it may be necessary to go to the SpamSieve menu and choose Install Apple Mail Plug-In.
• The AppleScripts for controlling the Griffin PowerMate seem to trigger a crashing bug in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Thus, SpamSieve’s Flash PowerMate option has been turned off. You can try re-enabling it in the preferences if desired.
• When training a message as good from Apple Mail, SpamSieve is better at figuring out which account it came from.
• Worked around problems on some Macs that could prevent SpamSieve from receiving training commands from Apple Mail on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
• Import Blocklist Regex Rules is a sample AppleScript that shows how to create blocklist rules using the contents of a text file.

• Improved the error reporting when SpamSieve detects that one of its files is damaged.

• You can now set the MJTSoundLoadFromApps default to false if you want to prevent SpamSieve from looking for notification sounds installed by other applications, e.g. to prevent mounting an encrypted Microsoft User Data folder.
• Fixed a bug handling errors if a software update failed; if it succeeded, the .dmg file is now deleted to reduce clutter.
• After purchasing, SpamSieve used to show your user image to indicate that it had been successfully personalized. It now shows a generic checkmark to avoid prompting you for Contacts access on OS X 10.8.

SpamSieve 2.9.4 works with Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.8 and requires an e-mail client. Older versions are available for older operating systems. For information about previous releases of SpamSieve, please see the version history.

EagleFiler

• Due to changes in OS X’s Core Data subsystem, new EagleFiler libraries created on Mountain Lion will not open on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4). Existing libraries created on 10.4 through 10.7 can be edited on 10.8 and will remain compatible with 10.4.

SpamSieve

• In rare cases, Apple Mail will fail to auto-launch SpamSieve the first time after you update to Mountain Lion. To fix this, double-click SpamSieve’s icon in the Finder, choose “Install Apple Mail Plug-In” from the SpamSieve menu, and restart your Mac.
• If you bypassed Lion and updated to Mountain Lion directly from Snow Leopard, Apple Mail will have deleted your SpamSieve rule. You can re-create it by following Step 3 of SpamSieve’s Apple Mail instructions.
• If you are using the drone setup with Apple Mail, your AppleScript file needs to be moved due to Mail being sandboxed under Mountain Lion. Please see the script page.

• Fixed a regression where SpamSieve’s disk image icon didn’t display properly.

SpamSieve 2.9.3 works with Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.8 and requires an e-mail client. Older versions are available for older operating systems. For information about previous releases of SpamSieve, please see the version history.

Version 2.9.1 of SpamSieve is now available. This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Added support for Microsoft Outlook 2011 SP2 (a.k.a. 14.2.x). If SpamSieve can detect that you were using Outlook 2011 before, and that SP2 has been installed, SpamSieve will auto-update its scripts automatically.

• When sorting spam messages by color in Apple Mail, you can now use Grey as a synonym for Gray.
• The score script command has a new auto training parameter that can be used to override the setting in the preferences on a case-by-case basis.

• If Apple Mail gives SpamSieve empty data for a message, the plug-in now assumes the message is good and does not pass it on to SpamSieve for analysis.

• SpamSieve is better at handling errors when running helper tools.

• The Info inspector can now be opened via Command-I as well as Command-Option-I.
• Records now have a universal type identifier scripting property, which should make certain kinds of AppleScripts much easier to write.
• Pressing the Esc key will now cancel editing in the source list or records list (for consistency with Finder).
• Clarified the error message when importing non-standard-format archive mailboxes from Apple Mail.
• You can now use the ImportSkipFilenamePattern default to specify a regular expression. When EagleFiler imports a folder, any files whose names match the pattern will be skipped.
• EagleFiler no longer maintains the same default note text between multiple invocations of Capture with options. This behavior can be reversed via the RememberCaptureNotesState default.
• Fixed a bug where, in rare cases, files imported via the To Import folder were incorrectly thought to be duplicates if they had the same names as files that had been previously imported and recently moved.
• Fixed a bug where an AppleScript would hang if it tried to start a scan for new files while another scan was already in progress.
• Fixed a bug where EagleFiler sometimes thought that files whose names ended with a period were missing.
• Fixed a bug reporting Spotlight importer errors.
• Fixed a bug where the contents of the Quick Look window weren’t always updated before it was shown, leading to flicker.
• Fixed a bug importing locally stored Web pages.
• Fixed a problem with saved view state and Full Screen mode.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if there was an internal error launching a helper tool.
• Fixed a bug where the = character wasn’t always treated as a word separator in phrase searches.
• Added logging to help track down tag completion errors.
• Updated the French localization.
• Added a 1024×1024 application icon.
