I have a request.

Could we have have the old MacJournal back? One that runs on Lion?

After V2, it got really messy. A billion features (and icons) but very difficult to use 'on the fly'.

I want to like V6. But it's hard. When I import a PDF, for example, there is no way to resize it. And V6 doesn't want to remember window sizes and positions.

Maybe a 'lite' version for those of us who are just too old to waste hours to learn about all the superfluous functions. You could even charge $19.95... I'm getting the distinct impression that to UPGRADE MJ means to get MORE FEATURES.

I think upgrading should enhance user accessibility and make the app more human-friendly. Just sayin'.

Love MacJournal! Just updated to version 6 and I use it to collect all my random thoughts, secure data and media clips. Awesome program!

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.

The icons on the new MacJournal made me take a look back to how it was in SnowLeo. Felt that I really liked it more, especially in the Finder, and finally went back to work with SnowLeo again.
Apple itself does not strictly use their new GUI-guidelines - take a look at iBooks Autor: all the colored icons are back.
Not only that the new icons are grey, they are even smaller with that senseless squared line around, imitating a shadow on a real button.

To MacJournal6: Editing a entry in a new window opens it always a very small window. It does not remember the size and position of the window. This is nasty; you always have to resize it to go on working (if you prefer writing in a seperate window).
So I stick here also with the old version.

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.

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.

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.

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.
