Can I rename the application bundle?

Duane Williams

Is it okay to rename 1Password to 1Password 3.9.2 and then rename 1PasswordBeta to 1Password?



The beta's perfect, right? You guys are good. There won't be any need to backtrack. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />

I'll defer to Roustem, but I would strongly recommend [b]not renaming[/b] the beta builds. The App Store is looking for 1Password.app when it checks for updates, and I'm not sure what kind of problems this could cause especially factoring in delta updates. Presumably, there are safeguards to prevent problems in that area, but… <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



Also, while we appreciate your confidence, no beta is perfect. (That's what makes them special, right?) <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> You really should keep the current stable build at hand. This can also come in handy when reporting issues. We may need you to check if you can reproduce an issue you are reporting in [i]both[/i] the stable [i]and[/i] beta builds to help track it down.

I preserved the current "stable" version as 1Password 3.9.2; so I can compare, if the need arises. In fact, I still have 1Password 3.8.5. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/emoticon-0136-giggle.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(giggle)' /> After the rename, I ran App Store to see if it still thought I had 1Password installed, and it did. I wonder why it thinks that. In any event, Time Machine can take me back to whatever point in the past I might need to go to if disaster strikes. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Renaming should be fine. I named it "1PasswordBeta" to make it easier to run both beta and release version.



Remember that beta will expire in 2 weeks, please make sure you check for updates.

I keep a copy of 1Password 3.5 on my Mac that I launch when I want to export data to Palm/Treo or to an encrypted web page. I've renamed the bundle to 1Pold.app, and I keep it in ~/Applications. It seems to work just fine.

Is there a good way to check? This version doesn't update like the 3.8.x version did. Is there a method to be notified of updates like RSS feed, twitter account, etc, without having to watch the entire forum of new posts?



Thanks

Hi Smudge,



At the moment, there is no better update notification system beside this forum yet. This is our first beta for the MAS version and we're just working out the kinks before we expand the Beta project.



I apologize for the inconvenience.

I created an Apple [url="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2488"]Automator[/url] script that I run to do my updating of the betas.

Actually, watching the forum may not be sufficient. Yesterday, there were release notes for version .076, but I just installed version .078, which I have seen no mention of. Perhaps it's best to just install the latest version at the start of each day. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_wasntme.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(wasntme)' />

All of this is still manual for us, we'll see if there's a better way to do this.



The recent updates are all the same, they're about updating the translations that have been corrected by our users recently and this'll continue until we finish all the translations.

Just to let you guys know, 1Password 3.9.3 has been approved and it's at the Mac App Store now!

Just reminder to those who like me, either zipped, stuff, tarred or feathered their App Store version of the 1Password while using the beta—the App Store [i]will not recognize[/i] 1Password until you've reinstated it to its original form.

khad

That was what I was getting at with my post above. It doesn't really matter what you call the beta, but it just seems simpler if one avoids calling it "1Password.app" for this reason. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Would you mind sharing this script? Thanks
