Version 1.6.6 for Mac is now available with a bunch of little fixes. We were able to get widgets working in Sonoma as well (unfortunately not in Ventura).

You can download it from the App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/ivory-fo

What's New

- Timeline/List positions stored more frequently so there's less chance of losing your place if the app crashes.
- Fixed the issue where closing the main window and then opening a new one via File > New Window would lose all of your columns.
- Widgets now work in Sonoma.
- Added app version number to bottom of the "About Ivory" window.
- Improvements to selected post states when the main window becomes active again.
- Improvements to displaying video controls when moving the mouse over video.
- Added the ability to flip through multiple images by pressing supported mice scroll wheels left/right (or hold shift and use the scroll wheel).
- Fixed an issue where image zoom could be reset when the media window becomes active again.
- When you select a row in the Notifications tab, you can now use the menu items (and their keyboard shortcuts) from the Post and User menus.
- Focus indicators on many textfields have been improved if you have keyboard navigation enabled.
- Pressing 'o' on a post detail view will now open the media viewer.
- Fixed the issue where double-clicking a zoomed in image wouldn't properly zoom back to the original size.
- Double-clicking the titlebar takes you to the top of your timeline and double-clicking again will return you back to your last position.

@JohnBloor There hasn't been any issues with uploading media aside from limitations from Mastodon servers.

@ivory I tried your app but it didn't show any of my embedded videos so I came back to the Mastodon app

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JohnBloor You'd have to show us more specifically what the issue was for us to be able to resolve it. But there are no major issues with uploading or viewing media in Ivory.

John Bloor Printmaker

@ivory ok well I downloaded it for my iPhone, it didn't show any of my YouTube embedded videos just links to them...I would love to use your app. It looks really nice.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@JohnBloor This is more of a network/server issue than our app. The API provides us the post data as well as the card for an external website (generated by the server) and sometimes that isn't generated fast enough when we display the post. If that data isn't there, we can't display it initially. Tapping on the post to go to the detail view should provide enough time to retrieve it in those scenarios.

@ivory Awesome, I keep meaning to report this, but I leave ivory mac open all the time. After many days If I get a new reply and go and click on the replies button it just crashes. I'll actually report it if it happens again (it's happened quite a few times since the app launched)

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@sleepy When it does that next time, use the "Contact Us" button under Ivory's Help menu and send us an email describing what you did to cause the crash. Crash logs should also get automatically attached.

sleepy

@ivory Sigh, just happened and tried to use contact us. It opened chrome which I haven't used in years and refuse to use now.

So here is what I did. I had ivory open for awhile and got a reply, clicked on the bell icon and it crashed.

I have the crash report window open. I'll copy down the details if it doesn't get to you some other way.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@sleepy It uses your default mail app, but really it only works with Apple's Mail app.

sleepy

@ivory huh, ok well that's solvable at least.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@sleepy You can also copy all the contents of the crash window and email it to us at support+ivory@tapbots.com. Just give us a description of what caused the crash.

sleepy

@ivory this seems very exact and round...

@ivory
Is it just me, or is the app a bit unresponsive when using trackpad scroll gestures?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@freediverx Haven't experienced it. Try restarting the app and see if it persists.

Scanner

@ivory
But I still want a book mark button _along the favorite_ button.
Also I want to shrink this vertically but all these buttons on the left that I never use prevent me from doing that still. B-/ .. I mean, thanks for the app, I use it all the time.. but these are my two biggest nits.

A screen cap from the Ivory app showing where you could fit a book mark button in addition to the other buttons on a toot.. and showing buttons on that side that I use so rarely that I do not know what they do without clicking on them.
Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@scanner All of this is planned to be improved. We will let you customize the sidebar (and the action buttons under posts) in the future.

Leon Cowle

@ivory Thank you for the continued work. We appreciate it!

Andres Mareli

@ivory Widgets still look weird on Mac.
On the left the Mac widget and on the right the iPhone (translated to Mac)

Andres Mareli

@ivory well the padding on the iPhone widget is BIIIIIG…..

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@andresmareli We are aware and will fix it. Apple made changes that broke it in a recent update.

Misty

@ivory Thank you so much for the image zoom fix! It's going to help me a lot.

ESClaus

@ivory Things I wish I had know earlier. There is a Mac version. Bought the universal subscription. Thanks for putting out a great app.

Willett Kempton

@ivory Great. But most software on the App Store, when updated on the store, shows up under “updates” simply enters the Apple App Store. Also there's a notification occasionally that software updates are available. I downloaded from the Store, also I"m a subscriber for MacOS and iOS. But for Ivory on the Mac, I get none of these notifications, so I may or may not see your posting on Mastodon.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@willett We generally set our updates to roll out to users over time so not everyone will see it in updates on the first day. That's why we make the post with the URL to the main app store page if you want to force update it right away.

Paul McGrane

@ivory hurrah. I would like to complain that choosing "About Ivory” does not show the version number, which it ought to. That is the main reason to look there.

Whoops: guess what's in the release notes!

Fernando Meyer

@ivory can we get the ability to use custom fonts both on ios and mac?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@fmeyer Can look into it, but not anytime soon. Different fonts can cause all kinds of formatting issues and it would have to be something we thoroughly test before deciding if it's a good idea or not.

Expert Plus 🍀

@ivory yo folks, you guys are awesome and doing a great job, except, that there's one problem....I can't try your app.

I am an #Android user.

But I want to try your app.

I am a Linux user as well.

I don't have a Mac or iPhone - any.

Soooo....mind do a release for Android and Linux Mint?

Thank you very much. Love your app already only by seeing screenshots and video reviews of it on YouTube.
