There were so many Mac users trying to figure out what to do back then. (But I can not go without Photoshop and Acrobat). Then Adobe really screwed all that upgraded to the “new” GoLive 9 and I really did not want to use any Adobe tools for a while after that. I remember finally starting to get the hang of using Adobe GoLive after using Page Mill. Yeah, the affect that it will have on each of the users of the Softpress tools now that we will no longer have them will be something to go through. 20:15 GMT+02:00 Steve Ainsworth have just sold the ‘idea’ of Freeway Pro to another school I work at (Iģ x Macbooks have been purchased ready for the new term, I was about toįreewaytalk mailing your subscriptions at: Thank you for your support over these many years.

Logic, since it comes from Apple, stays up to date with the OS, but ProTools is notorious for taking years (plural) to catch up to a new paradigm. There is certainly a lot of precedent for this in the professional audio recording industry, where people have to wait years after a new OS to get support in their DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software. That said, understand that you can choose not to upgrade your Mac for a while, and continue to use the existing application, which is compatible with Mojave. If you’re not comfortable with your current risk assessment, then that’s probably a rational point of view for you to have, and you should examine your options and plan for a future where Softpress doesn’t make it on time. Your expectations exceed what a rational company would (or could) promise to its users. I don’t want to insult anyone in this great forum… but the way Softpress communicates is a shame and not the way a company should behave if they want their (remaining) customers to stay “on board”. It’s absolute ridiculous how they treat this community and their customers. I’ve never seen a company that communicated (or better NOT communicated) in such a bad manor. Or isn’t it more realistic that they will come up with a message like “…sorry users but we decided to give up our business again…” like they did when they first closed down? Over night without any warning, excuse, alternative, solution… If you honestly work on something you should inform your community with more than that, shouldn’t you?

Since they announced their “comeback” (almost 1.5 years ago) they didn’t communicate anything except “we’re working on it…” Is there a possibility to receive something “fresh” to stop having this message and to be sure it is working 100% with my OS ?įreewaytalk mailing your subscriptions at: Received message about my Freeway Pro version is not optimized for my NEW OS… On Jul 6, 2018, at 10:27 PM, Denis Landry via freewaytalk wrote: There is no announced date for this to be complete, but rest assured, Softpress and Jeremy are well aware that the clock is ticking in this area. Softpress (well, one programmer: Jeremy) is re-writing Freeway in Apple’s modern Swift programming language, using the Cocoa framework, as a 64-bit application. It will continue to run (Apple have not released a version of Mac OS X that does not run 32-bit applications) but the number of major revisions where that is still true is probably countable on one finger. This warning means that the app is not 64-bit, which is true.
