Pingback: Nisus Writer Pro 3.0 Released – Targuman
Just wanted to say that after purchasing Nisus Writer Pro in June 2018 I’m being offered a paid upgrade less than four months later. That strikes me as being rather unfair to existing customers. That’s not what most app developers do. Wanted you to know how I feel. Disappointed.
The upgrade window appeared and I clicked okay. The install failed (typical but not a big deal). Then I wondered, will it be compatible with Mac OS Mojave? It took some effort to find this info. While looking for that info I learned that I’ll probably have to pay for the upgrade: sure why not I’ve used NW Pro for at least 20 years- I like it. But I also know that when I open it up, the palettes will look exactly the same. When I want to make a font bigger or smaller, I’ll be trying to poke at those tiny little arrows and get it wrong. When I want to change the font to Courier or Times New Roman.. I’ll have to (again) scroll down that long long list. I know I can design a more efficient tool layout for Nisus, why can’t Nisus?
Hi Will: thanks for using Nisus Writer for so many years! We certainly appreciate that.
As you discovered, Nisus Writer Pro version 3 is compatible with macOS Mojave.
I’m sorry you’re having trouble using our formatting tools. The up/down arrows that control font size are standard system controls. If they’re too small you might consider changing your system preferences to enlarge all controls. We also provide numerous other ways of changing the font size, eg: the main menu.
As for the long font list, have you considered switching it to display a customized list of fonts? You can create your own font collection using Apple’s Font Book app. Nisus Writer will display such collections. You can also resize the palette to increase its height. That way you don’t have to scroll as much, or if your screen is large enough you can eliminate the need for any scrolling.
I hope that helps. If you have any further questions please let us know.
