Running GS 9 and switching back to GS 8

Since GarageSale 9 uses a different application identifier, you’ll need to grant it access to each eBay token in your Mac’s keychain. When the system displays such a permission panel, please click the ‘Always Allow’ button if available.

GarageSale 9 will copy all your data from GarageSale 7 or 8 into its own library folder. In case you are encountering problems you can always switch back to GS 7/8 and continue were you left off before switching to GS9.
You’d need to use the GarageSale’s import/export functions to bring back listings changed or created with GS9 into your earlier version of GarageSale.

Synching

GarageSale 9 uses a different data schema compared to previous versions. When GarageSale 9 connects to the sync server for the first time, your account is upgraded to this new schema version.
Afterwards, earlier version of GarageSale can longer connect to the sync server.

Licensing during Beta phase

For now, GarageSale 9 Beta will accept existing GarageSale 8 licenses.

Cost

The costs for upgrading from an earlier version of GarageSale to version 9 are USD/EUR 14.99 for the single user license. If you purchased your license for GarageSale 8 after August 1st, 2021, your upgrade will be free.

GarageSale Pro subscribers don’t need to pay any upgrade fees to use GS 9.

System Requirements

Fantastic!

Thanx!!!

How about adding a “Clear Log” button to the bottom of the Script Editor window to clear the consoleLog pane?

Thanx,
Neal

Or just Clear the Script Editor window Log when the Run button is pressed?

Can you save and restore the Script Editor window size and position?

I just had 100 auctions end and GS relisted for 7 days and it went flawlessly. Thanks for you continued work on this program

You brought back the customizable toolbar! I can’t thank you enough. Best “What’s NEW” feature in 2 years!!! I never use the editor mode button.

I don’t understand how to do code and wont likely ever take the time to learn it. Can that part of the button be removable? Extra clutter for a feature many GS users will never use.
“A close all open folders” would be a super button to have. I am constantly closing open folders.
“Empty trash” and “Remove all Pictures” would be helpful buttons.
