iMedia Browser 1.1 is available

Karelia software released iMedia Browser 1.1 earlier this week, and it features some very nice changes.

If you're unfamiliar, iMedia Browser is a stand alone application much like the media browser in Apple's iLife applications. It lets you browse your iPhoto library (photos and videos), iTunes library and web links, all without having to launch those applications. It's very handy and a time saver for anyone who needs to access these files frequently. Plus, it "flips over" like a Dashboard widget, which is fun.

Changes to version 1.1 include

The photos browser now includes Adobe Lightroom
New Movies thumbnail generation and caching mechanism for improved stability
Source lists now indicate that folders can be dragged in to be added
Process of checking for updates and reporting problems has been improved

iMedia Browser works with Tiger or Leopard and is free.

Sandvox 1.2 is available

We've written about Sandvox before. It's the WYSIWYG web editor from Karelia Software that makes site building and publication a breeze. It's nicely integrated with .Mac and iLife, and features attractive default templates you'll actually want to use. Changes in version 1.2 include:

Easily change the banner image
Many new templates
New RSS feed "pagelet"
IM status
Page view counter
Insert your own HTML, JavaScript, or PHP/Scripting code

There's a lot more, of course. This looks like a good update to pick up. Sandvox requires Mac OS 10.4 or later, is universal and comes in both pro ($79US) and "regular" ($49US) versions.

Sandvox updated to 1.1

In the Mac-user make-Web-page so-very-pretty no-use-nasty-HTML market, the big kahunas are iWeb, RapidWeaver, and Karelia Sandvox -- guess which one just got revved to version 1.1? If you recall, Karelia came up with one of the most original utilities ever, the Web scraping and search tool Watson, which won it a spot in the "Wow, Apple's new seach app (Sherlock 3) looks... familiar" Hall of Fame. The fact that Karelia introduced an HTML editor not long before iWeb came out is both ironic and unfortunate, since Sandvox is a topnotch tool deserving of more attention.

New in 1.1 (from karelia.com) --

8 gorgeous new site designs
New help system
Localization to Italian and Simplified Chinese languages
A snapshot feature to cleanly save your work in progress
Greatly improved Flash file support

Standard version $49, Pro version $79, and demo available.

Sandvox 1.0.2 with new features, demo screencast, intro pricing ends soon

Karelia Software has updated Sandvox, their feature-packed WYSIWYG web design app, to version 1.0.2, bringing a few new features to the table such as a much-requested Format menu. Of course, other bug fixes and the like are included, so check out the release notes for the full details.

In addition to a one-hundredth of a point update, Karelia Software has also created a demo screencast for Sandvox which takes (potential) users through the site creation process and demos the many features Sandvox has to offer, such as adding weblogs and photo albums, as well as the Pro feature lineup. Along with the screencast, Karelia Software has also updated their online documentation with "How do I?", troubleshooting and reference sections.

Last on the Sandvox update is the impending doom of their introductory pricing offer. Presently, a single regular Sandvox license goes for $39 USD, while the Pro version is $69 USD - but only until Friday, June 16th. I couldn't track down what these prices will bump up to, but I'm sure they'll make these look like a good deal. Get it while it's hot.

Sandvox 1.0 official release

I'm really glad to see all this innovation in WYSIWYG web editing software, and from my experience, Sandvox from Karelia Software is poised to lead the pack. Yes, I've been going on about how excited I am about the iWeb 1.1 update, but after playing with Sandvox's beta editions, I'm going to give this official 1.0 release a good run-through, as it offers quite a bit of power and some nice tricks that other products like RapidWeaver and iWeb can't claim.

The feature that impresses me the most about Sandvox is their innovative "Pagelets" feature. Pagelets are small chunks of rich content that you can simply drag and drop around your site's theme. Don't like where your blogroll is? Just drag its pagelet somewhere else. Pagelets in the pro version can also allow you to insert your own HTML and even PHP code into any portion of your site or sidebar. Speaking of site themes: Sandvox's are stellar, and a bit more creative than iWeb's. Sandvox comes with two dozen themes, with more available.

Sandvox also does a lot of the, dare I say, 'standard' WYSIWYG web design-ish stuff that I've come to expect on the Apple platform. You can drag your audio podcasts into a Sandvox site and get them submitted to the iTMS, as well as drag images from iPhoto, etc.

Overall, despite lightning striking twice for Karelia Software, Sandvox looks like a solid product that presents a strong array of features for the WYSIWYG designer that demands a little more from their web design app.

Sandvox beta updated, full version "this quarter"

Karelia Software has released beta 14 of Sandvox, their WYSIWYG web editor for the Mac. Sandvox makes drag-and-drop web assembly a snap, with photo galleries and blogging plus del.icio.us, Flickr and Digg integration. There's more, of course, and you can get the full run down here.

Karelia has promised that a full version will be made available this quarter in both a basic and pro version. Pricing is yet to be announced. I'm looking forward to it.

Karelia: "Lightning has indeed struck twice"

This has got to be frustrating. In an attempt to avoid a repeat of the Watson/Sherlock debacle, the folks at Karelia Software made an earlier-than-originally-planned public beta release of Sandvox available. Sandvox is a super-simple, WYSIWYG web editor that makes web site construction easy and fun. Sound a little like iWeb? I realize that no one has the exclusive rights to web editors, but the timing here is really unfortunate. From the Sandvox blog:

"...some of the biggest limitations of iWeb (.mac only, not pluggable, no ability for HTML content) can become strengths for Sandvox. As we move forward past version 1.0, we will be able to further distinguish Sandvox from iWeb by focusing on features that our users demand that will never be a part of the iLife suite." Competition of this sort usually drives the production of better products. I, for one, am looking forward to what Karelia has in store.

Sandvox public beta available

A few years ago, Karelia software released the great Watson, an internet search utility for Mac OS X. Many loved it, and I still use it all the time, in fact. Shortly after that successful release, Apple produced a version of its own Sherlock that bore a strikingly uncanny resemblance to Watson. Eventually, Karelia discontinued development of Watson and sold the technology to Sun Microsystems.

More recently, Karelia has begun work on a WYSIWYG web editor for the Mac called Sandvox, and limited beta testing was begun in October. It really looks great and we've been watching its development for a while now. Today, however, the folks at Karelia are getting that sinking feeling all over again.

With the rumor swirling that Steve will introduce a new application called "iWeb" at tomorrow's keynote, Karelia have made the public beta of Sandvox available today, a little earlier than they had initially planned. I've only played with it very briefly so far, but some of the templates really look great. Good luck to Karelia.
