MacUpdate Promo Spring Bundle

Eric — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:22:23 +0000

Another week, another Mac software bundle. This time, it’s the MacUpdate Promo Spring 2010 Bundle — 11 apps for $50. There’s not a lot here for the web worker, other than Parallels Desktop 5, which is normally $80, and WebSnapper ($15), which I’ve previously written about.

While I’m a VMWare Fusion user myself, MacTech recently compared the performance of VMWare Fusion 3 and Parallels Desktop 5, with the latter performing better in most areas. So it might be worth considering the MacUpdate bundle simply for the $30 discount on Parallels.

Espresso 1.1 (Mac)

MacRabbit’s HTML editor, Espresso (reviewed here), has been updated to version 1.1. The update includes a number of welcome additions and improvements:

Image Preview: View images from within Espresso without having to open a separate program.
Find in Project: Search through all the files in your project.
Open With: You can now open files in a different editor from within Espresso.
Project Organizer: View all your projects in a single window and select the one you want to work with (ala Coda).
Improved snippets, featuring shell scripts, nested placeholders, and full TextMate syntax.

This is definitely a worthwhile upgrade.
