14.1.8

4/18/14

MacWise can open documents on your Mac under host control.

When the host sends ESC STX P script CR
( where script contains FileExists("FilePathToTheDocument")
MacWise will respond with a 1 or 0

This version of MacWise allows the FilePathToTheDocument to work if the host uses quotes or not.

In other words, FilePathToTheDocument or "FilePathToTheDocument" will both work.
FileExists("BootVolume:MyFile.pdf")
FileExists("UserDesktop:MyFile.pdf")
or
FileExists(BootVolume:MyFile.pd")
FileExists(UserDesktop:MyFile.pdf)

If the file exists you can open it with
ESC STX < "FilePathToTheDocument" CR
or
ESC STX < FilePathToTheDocument CR

14.0

Compatible with Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion has a new security feature called Gatekeeper. By default, it prevents you from downloading an application from a developer who does not have a Developer ID registered with Apple.
MacWise version 14 is code signed with the Carnation Software Developer ID and installs effortlessly with the Mountain Lion default GateKeeper security settings.

MacWise version 14 is backwards compatible to Tiger (Mac OS 10.4)
There are now two MacWise version 14 installers. One installer is for the older Tiger operating system. The other is for the newer Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems (OS 10.5 through 10.8).

Fix - Launching a file without a path name was not working with ESC CTRL B < URL CR
It will now use the MacWise folder as it should if no path name is specified.
Also, allows DOS file names with slashes.
Also, supports BootVolume and UserDesktop in path names.Note that you can no longer use Mac file names with a slash in the name.
Example:

PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"<":"MyFilename" (no path is supplied here so the file would need to be in the MacWise folder.
