Some of the best news I've read all year!

From an email:

Dear Users,

Thanks for all your support and emails.

I can confirm that there will be a 64-bit version of URL Manager Pro. I think and hope it will be ready just in time, that is to say around October, just after the next major release of macOS.

At the moment, I am programming the update of Web Confidential (the password manager) and that update is expected to be ready next month, after which I will fully concentrate on URL Manager Pro. I started with Web Confidential with the rewrite (64-bit), because that is a smaller program and easier to start with. Some code is shared between the two, so some work for URL Manager Pro is now already done. It looks really good. Probably, Web Confidential will be released next month.

The applications are rewritten from the ground up, which means they will be more stable, using new technologies and it will be easier now in the future to add new features from upcoming macOS releases.

I’ll try to keep the list informed about the progress I am making.

Best regards,
Alco Blom

Good news indeed, for those who use it.

I'm finally reaching the end of the road with my non-subscription Adobe apps, which is really going to be painful. I refuse to pay $800 CDN per year to have access to InDesign, Acrobat, Lightroom & Photoshop, so have found substitutes for all of those which I'm in the process of acquiring and learning.

InDesign->Affinity Publisher (beta at the moment - but quite usable)
Acrobat->PDFPenPro, though it has some issues with text editing
Lightroom->CaptureOne Pro (expensive, but the best - and it's a one time purchase)
Photoshop->Affinity Photo

Both Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 are listed as 64-bit in the Application list, but I know there are bits that are 32-bit and nobody can say one way or the other whether the whole app will fall over. I am not waiting around to find out the hard way. There is a thread with info about making CS6 work in Mojave, which may help - until people start reporting in after the beta of 10.15 appears I don't think we'll have definitive answers. Still really ticked that Adobe declared that Lightroom would never be subscription-only, and then went back on their word. I get that they've found their cash cow and that they really don't care what we think, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give in. Yet, at any rate.
