Packrat 0.8 - edit Backpack lists, display images


In mid-April, Rod Schmidt asked for feedback as to whether he should release editing features in Packrat, his Backpack syncing client, as he develops them. From what I saw, the response was largely in favor of doing so, and yesterday Rod announced on his blog that Packrat 0.8 has taken the first step in this direction. Users can now edit lists in Packrat, then sync up the changes to their Backpack account. This new version can also display inline images (but not linked images) as long as you've already downloaded them, of course. This is a pretty big deal if you're a Backpack fan, especially since I'm fairly certain Packrat is the first app that has this kind of potential to become a true, offline-capable Backpack client.

Swing on by infiniteNIL Software to grab a demo of Packrat, a license will cost $24.95. If you want to get involved or offer some feedback, be sure to check out the Packrat discussion group and and Rod Schmidt's blog for development updates.

"the backpack widget can pretty much do anything"

Except edit more than one list on a page
or upload/view images
or expand itself to be larger than the size of a postage stamp
or...

I have the widget (#1: it's at http://www.chipt.com/), but it certainly doesn't do everything. Nothing I've seen really touches Packrat's extensive support for Backpack, nor it's future abilities (such as editing everything offline).
