I’ve noticed, and received many reports, that CUPS-PDF is broken in Snow Leopard. I’ve been toying with it and it’s not a quick fix, it looks like.

I updated to v2.5 from the site and tried that one, but the new CUPS 1.4 in Snow Leopard won’t recognize it. So, I’ll keep trying and once I figure it out I’ll post a new version.

No need to keep emailing me. Smiling

I was on vacation for the release of Leo, so I’m a little late for the final compatibility scorecard. As far as I can tell:Read more

  • Notae runs fine in Leopard. I’ll do some more testing to make absolutely sure every feature works well, but I’ve been checking all along and nothing’s obviously broken.
  • My CUPS-PDF distribution does not work in Leopard. I’m sure it’s something simple and I’ll look into it soon.
  • Text Reader and Launchd Editor have not been tested in Leo, but I expect no problems as these are very simple programs.

Version 2.4.0 (from 2.0.5):


  • fixed possible read access after end of string

  • fixed recognition of international characters

  • experimental option to decode hex strings in title (NK)

  • new option to remove prefixes from usernames

  • minor bugfix to read umasks properly

  • new option to select where to look for title

  • some code changes and optimizations

This version is a universal binary and runs on PPC and Intel Macs.

CUPS-PDF is a double-clickable Mac binary distribution of the original version for other Unix-based machines.
