Support has also been added for iCloud Sync of sites and clips, but only if the software is purchased directly through the App Store.Ī built-in Web Inspector tool is just one of the improvements to Coda’s CSS editor, while version 2 adds support for MySQL with a new built-in MySQL editor. Sites can now be grouped simply by dragging one on to another, while List View is designed for those who have many sites to work through. Placeholders can now also be dynamic, with fill-in dates, selections and URLs among other elements supported. Users can move between placeholders via the Tab key or customised key shortcut.

Coda 2 also introduces a full file browser that supports FTP, SFTP, WebDAV and S3, and boasts a “Transit Twin-Turbo Engine”, designed to speed up file uploads.Ĭoda’s clips function has also been improved, with support for multiple placeholders, allowing coders to mark out areas where coding or other elements aren’t yet in place. A Super Sidebar allows users to place all their most frequently accessed tools on a customizable dock, while users can now go full-screen with Code Focus, which hides the sidebar and allows them to concentrate fully on looking at the code.įile support is improved with the ability to manage source code with Git as well as SVN. The user interface introduces new smart, scrolling tabs that can be large or small, images or text.
#Coda 2 mac upgrade#
The standard Mac App Store model is sometimes more lenient in the number of personal copies, but not as flexible for negotiating a bulk or upgrade special pricing at an arbitrary purchase time.Coda 2 brings a revamped editor, introducing code folding, autocomplete support for variables and functions, improved workflow including automatic indentation and smarter closing tags, plus a streamlined find and replace tool. In the end - it's about how you prefer to have your software licensed. Panic's model of pre-announcing the sale and pre-announcing the discounted prices and durations allows new users to benefit from a reduced price as well as accommodate users that may be in an "upgrade" scenario without being able to integrate this upgrade pricing while maintaining the full price point for non-upgraders.
#Coda 2 mac for free#
To date, I don't know of any app that has allowed previous purchasers to convert to the paid app other than by announcing a short sale period where the app is offered for a discount or for free to all who wish to buy on the App Store. Not all developers have done this level of interoperability so do your research before assuming you can switch back or forth. However, in the interest of getting some bug fixes to end users before Apple can review them, the app store version of the app also enables you to run the downloaded versions of the apps without needing a separate license. The best solution I've seen is MarsEdit where you can either buy the program directly from the author's website or the store for the same price. On the other hand, the Mac App Store apps will be able to use iCloud document syncing exclusively, and over time more exclusive benefits may come to make those apps preferable to you. As other answerers have pointed out - the App store places many restrictions on an application in terms of needing to be signed (for gatekeeper), not being able to run with administrator permissions, and having to live with sandboxing security constraints. I would always engage the developer (Panic in your case) to see what they say about the merits of a direct download and the app store model. There are some real headaches involved on the developer and back end (store side) if Apple ever allows upgrade pricing so I wouldn't make any purchase assuming that a change there will come soon or ever.
This is a nice general problem to have and shows how many options developers are trying to see what strikes the best balance for them.
