Workflow Apps and Snow Leopard

Sep142009

I’ve had to rough it lately with my early adoption of Snow Leopard but things are getting better. Safari users running Snow Leopard should rejoice that MacHangout has put a beta of Glims up that doesn’t fail at life and fixes a number of bugs that previous betas had. Dropbox has a new version out that is fully Snow Leopard compatible but if you’re interested in the new LAN sync features and don’t mind risky software, check out version this thread. It fixes your versioning icons in the finder among other things.

Sadly, Agile Web Solutions has decided to make someone upgrade to 1Password 3 for Snow Leopard support. Growl isn’t compatible either. Wait until 1.2 comes out to update your Growl install.

For more questions on compatibility you can check this site for a MASSIVE list of software that isn’t always the most updated but should give you a head start on where an app is on compatibility.

So Adobe just announced that it isn’t going to support CS3 on Snow Leopard so if you upgrade, be warned that if problems exist that they will NOT be fixed. This is on top of the fact that a requirement for Snow Leopard is an Intel processor. So let’s recap: To run Snow Leopard reliably you must have CS4 running on an Intel Mac. This is making the $30 upgrade a bit more costly for a lot of folks…

Say you get CS4, which isn’t currently supported under PowerPC architecture either, to be compatible, and you grab an Intel Mac. You just paid a minimum of around two grand AND the mac comes with Snow Leopard. This just may be the most expensive $30 you never spent.
