test out switchlist 1.3.3?

[Robert Bowdidge]

Hi, all,

I took some time away from work over the holidays to get SwitchList building with the latest version of Xcode, and fixed a couple problems encountered on more recent versions of Mac OS. Before I send this off to the Mac App Store for review, can folks try installing it and see if they encounter any problems? I've tested on 10.13, 10.15, and 11.3, but haven't tested on MacOS 12 (Monterey) and don't have an M1 Mac to test on. If you have such a system, I'd appreciate hearing if SwitchList works ok.

The new version is SwitchList 1.3.3. This version and future versions will require Mac OS 10.9 (which is eight years old, and runs on machines from 2008). If you're still running an older machine or running an older MacOS, staying with the current SwitchList 1.3.2 is for you.

You can test the new version by downloading this disk image.

http://www.vasonabranch.com/SwitchList.1.3.3.dmg

Drag SwitchList from the disk image to your hard drive to run it. Note that MacOS has become more suspicious of randomly downloaded binaries, so you may get the "This binary is damaged" or "Apple cannot check it for malicious software" warnings. There's different ways to tell MacOS you trust the binary. After getting the error, you can either go to System Preferences "Security and Privacy" and click the button about trusting SwitchList. On MacOS 11.3, run once to get the "Apple cannot check it", then control-click SwitchList and select Open once to let MacOS know you trust the binary.

I'll plan to send this off for App Store review next week, and if all goes well you should be able to install it from the App Store in a few weeks.

Thanks,

Robert

Other than the goofy “ Apple cannot check it for malicious software” which I had to override by going to the “Security” preferences pane, seems to launch fine on my M1 MaxBook 14”.

Also notice that the the top of the SwitchList is cut off by default.  Seems to be prioritizing the sparse switch list contents over the header.  Probably would print fine, but this is just how every window opens up.  Running on macOS Monterey 12.1 (21C52).

P.S.: Awesome that you are spinning an update.

Reproduced on 10.13. Scrolling does make the whole document appear. Looks like the scrolling view containing the switchlist is starting off showing the bottom of the page.

Hi Robert,

It works fine on my Mac running Big Sur 11.6.2. It initially asked about opening malicious software but, one click and away. The printing was also fine, and despite the screen cropping, the preview showed the final result OK.

Hi Robert,

Did 1.3.3 ever get pushed to the App Store?

[Robert Bowdidge]

I haven't pushed 1.3.3 to the Mac App Store, and it'll take a bit of work to get everything ready for submission. For now, the copy on the website (http://www.vasonabranch.com/SwitchList.1.3.3.dmg) is the best choice for running on recent MacOS versions.

Work and family are taking all my time right now, but I'm hoping I'll have some time for Switchlist in a few months.
