Since Apple announced yesterday that they are releasing Snow Leopard on the 28th, I thought I’d post a quick note about the compatibility status of our products. I’ve run all of them through a thorough testing suite over the last few weeks to try and find any potential compatibility problems.

iPhoto Library Manager

Updated 9/16/09: A handful of users reported crashes when attempting to copy photos on Snow Leopard using iPhoto Library Manager 3.5.3. The cause of this bug has been found and fixed in iPhoto Library Manager 3.5.4.

PowerTunes

There are no known issues with Snow Leopard for the current version (1.1) of PowerTunes.

PlistEdit Pro

Only one issue was found in version 1.4.1 when running on Snow Leopard, but it was a fairly large one: plist files would not open in PlistEdit Pro when double clicking them from the Finder (the “Open” item in the File menu still worked properly). I just posted version 1.4.2 of PlistEdit Pro today, which fixes this problem, so if you encounter this issue, just use the “Check For Updates” menu item to update to 1.4.2.

I do my best to find any issues before an OS X update is released, but if you have any problems upon upgrading to Snow Leopard, please e-mail support@fatcatsoftware.com with a description of your problem, and we’ll try to get things figured out ASAP.

ScreenCastsOnline.com is a website that features video tutorials on using various software on your Mac and instructions for performing handy tasks. This week, iPhoto Library Manager is included as part of a continuing series of video tutorials on how to manage your data among multiple Macs. The screencast shows you how to set things up so you can use one of your iPhoto libraries from multiple machines, and how to use iPhoto Library Manager to copy stuff back and forth between two or more computers. It’s a pretty slick video, and I highly recommend checking it out, along with the rest of the site (they have a very large catalog of videos already produced). There’s even a coupon code included with the screencast that will let you get 15% off a purchase of iPhoto Library Manager!
