Dear GarageSale Users,
Beta 5 of GarageSale 7 is available for you to download from this URL (or by using the built-in updater if you are already running an earlier beta version GS 7):
https://downloads.iwascoding.com/downloads/GarageSale_7.0b5.zip
We’d appreciate your early feedback, so if you have a few minutes to spare, please give GarageSale 7 a try. Your GarageSale 6 installation will not be altered by trying out GarageSale 7.
What’s new since the last Beta release
- if a listing, which was imported from GarageSale 6 had the ‘local pickup only’ option set, you could not change its shipping options. This has been corrected.
- when importing a listing from GarageSale 6 which has the ‘local pickup only’ option set, the equivalent ‘local pickup’ shipping service is now added to your listing during initial import. (If this is an issue for you, you might want to trigger a new migration of your GS 6 database by deleting your current GarageSale 7 library. If you already created new listing in GS 7, you need to export them and re-import them after the migration process.)
- the ‘Select All’ command works when the text insertion mark is in the preview mode’s description area
- when viewing several listings in the overview table, clicking on an amount column’s header now sorts by the column’s numerical instead of its alphabetic value
- when buying an upgrade license for GarageSale 7, the option to manually input a previous GarageSale license now works
