YummyFTP Universal Binary

[Andreas]

I'm sure you knew that sooner or later somebody would ask.

I'm happily typing this on my new iMac Intel Core Duo and of course I had to give YummyFTP a try. It works nicely under Rosetta; no problems at all. Still, a native version would definitely rock. If you've got a universal beta that needs to be tested, I'll gladly do that.

Best Regards,

Yes, I was kinda waiting for that I don't have an Intel build yet, I'm afraid, much less an Intel machine to test it on. Thanks for the offer, though... I'll get there as soon as I can.

Has there been anymore progress on a universal version? Rosetta is a drag...

I'm available to test any builds if you need.

No. When there's an Intel build ready for a test I'll post a message here to invite beta testing. For what it's worth, making an Intel version of Yummy isn't just a case of enabling a checkbox in Xcode... there's a lot more work involved. If Apple had stuck to their promised schedule of delivery for Intel Macs then I would have been ready, but as you know, they're six months ahead of schedule.

In any case, I'd already planned to release a new version of Yummy with new functionality and a few bug fixes in the near term. After that I will be concentrating on the Intel build.

As far as Rosetta is concerned, I'm interested to hear where you think there is a problem with Yummy FTP. From the feedback I've had from the two Yummy FTP users with Intel Macs (so far) there don't appear to be any problems, although a very slight transfer speed degradation on high speed networks was noted.

Thanks for the update on it, I was just curious about how far out it might be.

Fortunately Yummy itself works fine in Rosetta, no issues there. I just try to avoid running apps that need Rosetta because it's a resource hog (mainly a memory hog).

Anyways, since I haven't said it yet, you've done a great job on YummyFTP. It's undoubtedly the best FTP app I've ever seen.

Ok to give you rough guesstimate of when I think it will be ready for testing, I think "a few weeks" is a reasonable expectation.

Thanks for the nice comments about Yummy's progress so far The latest build (in beta) includes some nice new things, which should at least keep you happy while I work on the Intel build...
