Extracting Existing Signatures

A few weeks ago (in late November) a user sent me a script that looks like it might be useful for others, so I thought I would post it up here.

What it does is go through you current Mail signatures and extracts the text from each of these into a text file that you could potentially use, with a bit of cleaning up, as a quote file which you can then import into SignatureProfiler.

Thanks to Julian-G. Albert for this little Automator workflow.

New Design for the Site

If you are visiting the site to see this page, you’ll see a new design around this. A much cleaner and simple site. Also it is cleaner from a maintenance point of view, which will help me in the future.

Also a small change to the URL of the site, now www.littleknownsoftware.com goes to the page about the software and this blog is at www.littleknownsoftware.com/blog. However, most of the links should still redirect to the right place.

Hope you like it.

SignatureProfiler 1.5.3 released for Mail 4.2

A new release to ensure compatibility with yesterday’s update to Snow Leopard and Mail. This version only updates the compatibility with Snow Leopard, but is required for those who want to (or already have) upgraded. For more information, visit the site or download it directly. Also please see the tutorials on the blog for how to use the plugin.

Problem with Exchange Accounts

SignatureProfiler is apparently not compatible with Exchange Accounts in Mail. This means that if you have an Exchange Account, you should not use SignatureProfiler at all!

I’ve had a couple of reports indicating that if SignatureProfiler is installed and an Exchange Account is active, it will have problems syncing data and moving messages.

Unfortunately I have no time to fix this right now, so the short term solution is to not use SignatureProfiler if you have an Exchange Account. Or don’t use you Exchange Account, but that seems less likely :-p.

It will eventually be fixed, but I cannot yet say when.

Snow Leopard Support Arrives with 1.5.2!

I know that many of you have been waiting for Snow Leopard compatibility, as I have been myself. It is here!
There are no new features in this release, but it does run on both Leopard and Snow Leopard. I have stopped supporting Tiger, though I didn’t even check to see if this runs on Tiger – it may or may not.
In any case, visit the site and download the new version. Also please see the tutorials on the blog for how to use the plugin.
