What's New
Version 6.0.2:
  • Added a way to reveal the preferences file in the Finder.
  • Selecting a new custom location for backups will create a MacJournal Backups folder inside that folder for safety reasons. If you had selected your home folder, older folders might be pruned along with older backups.
  • Fixed an issue encrypting a journal with an entry duplicated from another entry in that journal but neither entry has changed after that.
  • Fixed a crash when syncing with an iOS device.
  • Improved memory usage after selecting multiple entries.
  • Enabled the cancel button in the Activity window for backups.
  • Improved entry detection when importing several entries in a single file if the dates separating them do not have times.
  • Fixed improper jumps in scrolling when scrolling through a book between entries.
  • Improved compatibility of popovers on 10.6 to work more like the real ones on 10.7.
  • Fixed "Send to MobileMe" behavior.
  • Added "None" as a formatting option for text sent to blogs. No conversion to HTML will be performed.
  • Restored some compatibility information for AppleScripts written looking for the "journals" property on the application.
  • Added the ability to unlock journals in the Backup Browser.
  • Restoring a journal in the Backup Browser will restore all of its entries as well.
  • Fixed the month display in the calendar view mode when switching from single month to multi-month and back again.
  • When in the multi-month mode in the calendar view mode, clicking on a shaded date will select an entry in that date.
  • Improved locale-specific behaviors for lowercase/uppercase/capitalize Text Clean Up actions.
  • Added an indication of where a particular blog originates in the "Send to Other Blog" menu.
  • Fixed a problem using auto-start on the Timer window when exiting Full Screen mode.
  • Duplicating an entry will append "(Copy)" to the name and select the copy at the end, similar to Finder.
  • Added a "Request a Feature" item to the Help menu.
  • Added a warning when entering the code for syncing with a touch device if MacJournal cannot save that code for the future.
  • Fixed an issue decrypting journals from version 5 where some entries have attachments with specific kinds of filenames.
  • When no find result is selected in the Find and Replace, "Replace" will do nothing instead of behaving like "Replace All".
  • Improved performance of smart journals by moving some of the metadata searching into the background.
  • Fixed an issue where exported CSV files couldn't be re-imported without shifting the date over a few hours and messing up Unicode characters.
  • Added the ability to specify the metadata included in Automatic format exports. This is only used for textual entries.
  • Improved handling of entries without any content for Automatic export format to output an empty file with the requested metadata.
  • Fixed some problems with trying to export an entry to a location that already has a file by that name.
  • Added hidden pref IndexEncryptedJournalContentWhileUnlocked to disable indexing of content in encrypted journals after unlocking it.
  • Fixed the "No Color" action in the Text Color toolbar item when some text already has a color.
  • Fixed entry content searching after doing a sync with an iOS device.
  • Fixed the crash checking functionality.
  • Fixed "Allow Comments" for Movable Type and WordPress blogs if the button had never been pressed before.
  • Fixed an issue where the Quick Note window required a click before you could type in it if it was shown while in another application.
Version 6.0.2:
  • Added a way to reveal the preferences file in the Finder.
  • Selecting a new custom location for backups will create a MacJournal Backups folder inside that folder for safety reasons. If you had selected your home folder, older folders might be pruned along with older backups.
  • Fixed an issue encrypting a journal with an entry duplicated from another entry in that journal more...

Very Nice program. Version 6 adds a lot of useful novel features: Unfortunately, the tagging procedure is not compatible with open_meta applications. This is would be a must to gather macjournal information in a working program linked by various tags

Does this update work from within MacJournal? When I click on 'check for updates' I get 'you have the latest version'...

I'm of the mind that you don't post your updates on-line until you are completely good to go.

And ... I sure do miss the old icons. Option to switch to colored icons hereby requested.

V6 is OK. My review is entirely subjective.
If I could go back in time and get a version of 2.5 that magically ran on Lion I would do it. They are all PPC versions, though.

Why? It was just so quick, and simple, and uncluttered.
I used it for addresses, emails, and not much else.
The search function worked great.

But 6 is good. I miss all the icon colors but that's Lion so it's OK... Just very very feature-rich. Tool bar options are innumerable. In the age of Adobe, that's a good thing.

I guess.

I have been using MJ since the free version. Even made a donation at that time (v.2.xx).
I have bought licenses for the version 4 & 5.
It's a very good app. Using it for data base, blogging, note taking, and much more... All over the years it has been rock solid and well integrated with the OS'(S).
Downloaded version 6. It offers some more bells and whistles some are interesting others less. Decided to wait before I pay for an upgrade. Surprise!!! MJ 5 doesn't open the .mjdoc file anymore (message: the file has been modified...). Well, I do have a backup, so the issue was fixed within minutes.
My point is: how come there's no mention about this? That's a completely unacceptable behavior. A warning should be the minimum requested. Shame on you Mariner Software. You're a bunch of M***erf**kers, or are you just part of a circus?
Well, perhaps, I have to remind you I have bought your app for my work!
Moreover one of the issue I've mentioned to you and would have liked to be fixed hasn't been done.
Time to look for another journaling app?

Same problem, I tried version 6 but it's not in my native language (italian) yet, so I decided not to upgrade for now and to stay with version 5.x until there will be italian language for version 6. Reopened version 5.2.8 and it told me the file has been modified and it couldn't be used. And I have no backup... Two seconds of panic, then I used the logic... I reopened version 6 and exported the journal in version 5 format. Then, version 6 thrown in the trash (for now), reopened version 5 and imported my journal. So, no problem, it doesn't seem something so dramatic. But I admit that a little advice would be better.

Hi Maxtar and Guass-
Sorry for the confusion with the upgrade logistics. We haven't really heard this complaint arise all throughout the beta cycle and into the first day of the MJ6 release. We will look a better process with the next update. In the meantime, I took the liberty of copying a few pertinent knowledge base articles from our web site that could be applicable for you or anyone else.

Guass-
By the way, we opted to introduce MacJournal 6 as English-only but will be rolling out other languages in the not too distant future.

Again, apologies for the issues.

I have been using this app for 10 years. Not getting any answer to any question is what is Xpect from Adobe, M$ or Apple, but some smaller (just as yours) software company do have a better listening to their customer. That's one of the reason why I like them. Your just a shame, and your reckless behavior doesn't encourage me to continue my "collaboration" with your company.
Not taking care about their long term user base is Xactly the policy Apple has introduced recently.
Up to you to follow them since you're not looking further than your nose!

I downloaded MacJournal and everything went perfectly. However, I cannot edit an image once its inserted into a journal entry. Scaling functions do not appear to work. As a result, I can't use MacJournal for blogging.

Hi Eric-
This shouldn't be an issue. Could you try quitting MacJournal 6 and relaunching?

I did just that and it did correct the problem. Now if I could only figure out to have images show up in my wordpress blog through MacJournal, I would be a very "happy camper".

MacJournal 6 is not quite ready for 'prime' time. It's handling of photo media is less than poor. App cannot scale images and often crashes when asked to scale. I'm sure that this is something that the developers can correct, but until they do stick with MarsEdit if you're intending to use MacJournal for blogging.

I am running MacJournal 5.2.8. When I check for updates it says I am up to date. Why does it not tell me there is an update or upgrade? Even if it is a paid upgrade I would like to know.

It's a paid upgrade with no warning. Once you have launched MJ6. The.mjdoc file will not be readable by previous versions. Their behavior is totally unacceptable.

I've used MacJournal off and on for a while and consider it probably the best journal program available for the mac platform.

For aspiring writers, script writing, novel writing you really can't go wrong. Comes with audio capture, a WriteRoom styled full screen option, the ability to encrypt documents...also has an option to add pictures and songs from iTunes.

For me i'st the perfect journal app. I'm using it form 2 years, and had never had a crash, or any kind of problem. I just use it. And that is great and very valuable. If You need a Journal App, that is focus on writing, give a try to MacJournal.

Goldyn Chyld had trouble on 16 Feb 2010
Is there a way to select a "default language" for all your journal entries? Because I always have to select the language that I write in by myself, as "Automatic by language" apparently won't recognize my language.

Is there a way to avoid having to select it manually each time I open MacJournal?

MacJournal 4.1.1 on a G5 with Tiger 10.4.8 installed, server based installation of WordPress 2.1 and Jerome's Keywords plug-in version 1.9. I am able to share journal topics with WordPress without problems, but unfortunately, the keywords do not appear as tags at the bottom of the post. I have consulted the forum and the FAQ pages. I have also contacted the developer, but no response.
