Comic Life Magiq 1.0.2.1 update released
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.

Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...

This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.

If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".

Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.

Enjoy the King Crimson Comics here and here.

keith Hi David,



Thanks for the kind words (and sorry about the slow reply!)



Skitch uses RAM to cache it's undo history, and if you're taking full screen shots, this can mean a reasonable amount of RAM. We did not adjust the way Skitch works with the CPU or RAM in the most recent update.. but we'll definitely look into it.



The Apple 'Activity Monitor' is often a useful source of info -- as you can see Skitch uses a little background CPU when running and we're looking into reducing that.



Have you started using Time Machine recently or anything similar?



Keith

david clifford plasq people? hello???
david clifford hello everybody!

and to the people at plasq keep up the good work!



after a recent update, skitch has become more and more hungry of system resources... i have skitch running all the time, and this has never happened before.



i've had to restart twice, and been watching iStat pro 'say' that skitch has 270%, 385% of system resources and sometimes more....



any guesses?

i have a macpro quad 3.0 with 5Gb RAM with the leopard updated to 10.5.2



cheers,



Dave
