Re: Support for PPC

I'm still running OS 10.4 on an older PowerBook. Mellel v2.8.2 is the latest version I can run. I was seriously p!ssed when support for Tiger was dropped, and am still not happy about it, but I now understand the reasoning behind the move. My old powerbook (2004) still runs like a top and meets my n...

Re: Melllel 2.9 not opening in OSX vers. 10.4.11

Just checked macupdate, it still says Mellel will work with OS 10.4. == jsls, if you do a lot of writing you might want to have a look at Scrivener. They just released a major new update, v2, and it DOES work with Tiger. It's a tremendous application with a load of organizational tools and it works ...

Re: Melllel 2.9 not opening in OSX vers. 10.4.11

... quite frustrating as you can imagine. ... but the problem is that Apple stopped providing MacOS upgrades for the PowerPC-G4 processor at 10.4.11. This computer can never get another MacOS upgrade. I share your frustration. I have an older PB that still works fine and still meets my present need...

Re: Advice on Upgrading

Fellow Mellelers, I am still running Mellel 2.5 on one of the original white MacBooks with OS 10.4. My computer has a 2 GHz processor and 1 Gig of RAM, with OS 10.4.11. Anyone have experience running the latest versions of Mellel (and Bookends, for that matter) on a similar machine? Thanks, Sayyaar...

Re: Mellel and Lion

Lot of negative reviews here! For my part, I'm probably not a "power-user" but Mellel does a really fine job for me and I do not use all the features. I agree. I have Scrivener, Word and a couple of other word processors but Mellel is my favorite by a mile. It is always open and I use it ...

Re: Open Recent with shortcut

You might find this useful: I sometimes use Control-F2 to get to the menubar, then the arrow keys to navigate to the desired menu or sub-menu item. Control-F8 will highlight the menu items on the right side of the menu bar - then the arrow keys will take you to the desired menu or sub-menu item. Thi...

Re: New website issues

The new site displays well on my PB - running Tiger.

The layout is … interesting. Very black. Black, with buttons the size of Volkswagens.

On the plus side, I really like Mellel 2.8.

Re: Oddities with keyboard navigation in tables

I am interested in getting the most out of keyboard navigation in tables. I make extensive use of them for writing jazz chord charts. I often need to copy cells or groups of cells which means selecting them and navigating to where the copies need to go. This is easily achieved with shift+arrow keys...

Re: Trouble with File opening

This is not a new bug. I had the same problem, it occurred a couple of different times. The problem finally went away in March and hasn't reappeared, I don't know why. Wish I could be of more help. I'm still on OS 10.4.3 (Tiger). == (The problem had also occurred six months before the following exch...

Re: Keyboard shortcut for markers failing for others?

Yes, I've often experienced the same problem (Mellel 2.7.2). I've also had problems with the Marker: Find Previous, Find Next shortcuts.

Favorite add-on apps to enhance Mellel use?

Mellel is my most heavily used piece of software. But we all have favorite apps that we use along with Mellel. So I hope a thread about these "add-on" apps might be helpful to other Mellel users. If you agree, please add your own favorites. I've been using a small freeware app for a while,...
