Can I buy through MacUpdate? I am always losing serial codes, so an option like the Apple Store is useful.

Is there any restriction on installing more than one computer on the same network with one licence?

I love this app. I just a floundering novice and this makes everything so easy and it seems much faster than when done through the Finder.

I’m a Transmit 3 user. Is there still no way to move get Trasmit 4 from Mac App Store at the same upgrade price of Panic site?

How can tell the MAS that I have NOT installed yet Trasmit 4? It says it is already installed…

Thanks,
Fed

Pathfinder is not a solution.

This is so sad – we have Pathfinder for local file actions – Transmit for remote file actions – and inbetween – a giant gap where Forklift was so promising but for 2 years now the programmers fail to deliver a stable and working app. Ive stopped counting the number of times when Forklift crashed when copying/uploading and it all eneded up in rebooting the machine.

We need ONE app that does both.

I agree that nothing beats the technology and speed behind Transmit.
The only need to adjust the user-interface a bit and add some copy/move functions

This evolution of Transmit would enhance our productivity by miles …..

Copy/Batch-Rename / Move / File Actions(Automator+Applescript) / Sync/Edit (Text->Coda etc.) / Terminal/Tabs / Favorites from Finder in Sidebar + Smart Folders / Icon+List+Column-View per tab /

That’s what we need to handle the many thousands of files we have between our local disks and remote servers.

He’s right – Panic already have everything in their hands to give that us where Binarynights utterly fails with their poor programming.

So yes …. please let Transmit become THE ONE productivity app on the Mac.

@peter fonda: If you want a dual-pane file manager for Mac OS, you might like Pathfinder (http://cocoatech.com/). Haven’t used it, but I’ve seen it recommended elsewhere and it might meet your needs.

(I hope it’s not a faux pas to link to other companies’ software on the Panic blog.)

### please read this carefully and over and over again ###

Guys – i love your products and Im a Transmit and Coda user for years now …..

Please ….. please …… pretty please with sugar on top ……
Please transform Transmit into a full blown “dual pane filemanager”.
Basically – please use your excellent skills and rock solid code foundation to give us what Binarynights with their Forklift constantly fails to deliver …..
It´s a disaster – for years now theyre providing their customers with buggy software that leads to crashes every day.

Once again – pretty please – transform Transmit into a Dual Pane Filemanager for all purposes.
- you have the code right there …
- you have the skills
- you could simply take over the market

Willing to pay basically anything (not kidding) ….. all productivity junkies are in need of a Dual Pane Filemanager (like Total Commander on Windows).

Dont make be beg …. but ….. please !!!!

@Mystakill: Actually the entire concept of a virtual disk (DMG) is a bit confusing to inexperienced users. Having to mount, drag and drop, unmount, etc. is not so obvious…which is why most apps also include a link to the Applications folder within the DMG and instructions to drag&drop the app.

Even so, the idea of ejecting an application you just downloaded scares some, which is why you see several mounted DMG-s on many new user’s computers…

@Agos: I own Pixelmator, but will likely not be upgrading to 2.0 as I also have Acorn and PhotoShop CS5. Pixelmator made the decision to go MAS-only for all future sales. I can understand how letting Apple handle distribution, sales, and marketing can boost sales. However, if existing customers are unable to trial or upgrade an app at a discount, then a good portion of them will likely choose to look at other apps instead.

I really don’t understand how DMG-based installers and automatic Sparkle updates are “too hard” for people to understand.

I’ve just purchased a copy of Transmit 4.1.5 via the AppStore and it is absolutely awesome – it is worth every cent IMHO.

As for those raising the issue of private API’s – there is a reason Apple don’t want people to use private API’s; this became apparently with 10.5 and the infamous ‘blue screen’ caused by ApplicationEnhancer.bundle; there 10.6 blocked these frameworks but in the end Apple won’t be able to block everything out there so it is time for developers to either stick solely to the public API’s or if there is functionality lacking then they might need to use a low level public API and recreate what they need from scratch.

Awesome update, I love that Transmit has been getting a lot of love from you guys. Disk mounting server + TextMate is where it’s at!

The app stores only work when the checks are consistent and quick. The double-check is important, but what *should* have happened was the update should have been approved, but all additional updates held until said private API was removed. If I had to guess, said PAPI didn’t show up magically in 4.14.

Here’s to hoping policy matures quickly, Apple. Otherwise, we the power users are going to seek out non-MAS purchasing.
