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'.

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

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!

What is your question? Maybe I can answer it.

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

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.

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