The public beta of ecto is out. I have been part of the private beta test, and I really like what I see. For those not familiar, Kung-Log is, IMO, the best desktop blogging app for the Mac.
You should download it, check it out, maybe even make some suggestions. This is a major overhaul to Kung-Log, adding even more useful features.
Here are some of the improvements:
1. Improved account management 2. Edit window make-over. Note that the tabbed view supports drag-and-drop. To drag-and-drop text from one field to another, drag to the tab the destination text field is part of. 3. Recent entries and draft make-over. Drafts and recent entries are all in one list. This list is sortable by id, title, date, blog, and status (local draft vs remote entry). A search function is also included. To view an entry in the main window, double-click it or press the Enter key. 4. Separate status message window. Due to most processes being threaded, a single status field in the main window has made place for a list of current network and file processes. 5. Improved HTML preview, including support for Textile formatting. 6. Address Book support in email notification list. 7. Most settings are now on a per-blog basis. To save the main window's settings as default, select Draft > 'Save Settings'.ecto does not remember last used settings anymore. 8. More preferences for advanced users. See preferences dialog. 9. Syntax-coloring does not slow down typing anymore when editing long entries. 10. Improved file upload. One of the new features is that ecto now maintains a history of uploaded items for reuse.
