Dropbox 1.0RC: An almost whole number maintenance update
You’ve been working on a document all day and now you’ve got to fly out the door. With Dropbox, you can pick up any Dropbox enabled device and your document will be there. It’s a pretty simple premise with powerful implications — any device, any file, anywhere you go.
Dropbox 1.0RC for Mac, Linux and Windows is now available for syncing and working everywhere pleasure. The handy dandy file transfer and synchronization app has now reached release status, though this particular version is about bug fixes and feature tweaks.
What’s new in Dropbox 1.0RC:
• Stop the Dropbox location changer widget from jumping all over the place in the tour
• Fixed case where the Dropbox preferences window wouldn’t always become active when clicked from the menu bar on pre-Snow Leopard Macs
• New “Easy Relink” dialog in the tour, which allows a fast path to configuring Dropbox and retains your Dropbox location settings as well as your selective sync settings.
• Selective sync is optimized to finish a lot quicker when changing settings during initial sync
• The Dropbox tour is now more careful about merging your dropbox with a previous installation
• Better handling of folders which names like “.dropbox” or “Desktop.ini”
• Dropbox will now be more aggressive about making sure to not add duplicate entries to the Finder sidebar
• Don’t enable Growl notifications for all compatible apps if you didn’t have Growl installed before installing
• Windows-specific fixes and tweaks
Get your copy of Dropbox 1.0RC — it’s spiffy: Mac OS X, Linux 64, Linux x86 and Windows. iPad, iPhone and iPod touch will need to download the mobile version of Dropbox from the App Store, too.
