New (to me) Mac question

Hi Joe,

Sketch 2 was released just 2 months ago and was $40 for the first week
or two then went to $50 so I doubt it will go on sale anytime soon, but
I wouldn’t be surprised if it found it’s way into a software bundle at
some point.

Todd, thanks for the tip about Sketch 2. Do they ever do sales like
Pixelmator? It used to be PIxelmator was a bit more at times, and then
they had sales, though they might have permanently reduced the price
now. I ask because Sketch 2 is more of a want than a need for me right
now.

Just on a side note regarding Freehand. The Freehand Forum made settlement with Adobe so that registered users of Freehand get a $199 discount on Illustrator 6 (to little to late) The Discount must be used by February 28th 2013

I moved away from Snow Leopard a few weeks ago leaving Freehand in the process for Illustrator (still need CMYK). Sad day but its just not up to the job places.

The Freehand Forum is pushing “The Freehand Clone” http://www.goexpressive.com/en_US/ and is asking to pledge support.

Just an update to my original post - I managed to install Rosetta as an option from the snowLeopard disk; seems it isn’t installed by default.

This has corrected some issues like the ® and © symbols which had gone AWOL.

I’ll certainly be following the GoExpressive development.

But my guess here is that you could go a very long way toward smoothing this out by spending some time in the Keyboard Shortcuts preference pane, setting up a mapping between Freehand shortcuts and Sketch’s more Cocoa-standard ones. (The zoom is “straight outa Cupertino”, for example.)

Where is the ‘keyboard shortcuts preference pane’, Walter? Is it a general system pane or in one of the programes?

System Preferences application, Keyboard pane, Keyboard Shortcuts tab. There are application-specific shortcuts as well as system shortcuts that you can configure there.

This is a great little app that displays the shortcuts for whatever program your using/in in a translucent window overlay by/while holding the command key:

Thanks Walter.

Nice idea, Frank…except for the not-so-magic words under Download "Requires Mac OS 10.7 or later "… :wink:
