A new version of Herald is out with several great enhancements, including an attachment indicator, an option to show the notifier while Mail is the active app, and some important bug fixes. View the full release notes here. You can update from within Herald itself by going to “About” in the preferences and clicking “Check for Updates…”, or download the installer package from the Herald page.
Missing a couple of interviews due to the fact that they were booked up because I did not get the email and respond in time (within five minutes) I am hoping Herald will help! One thing that would be nice is if it could play a custom sound when the email comes through? I got the first email this morning at 6:34 AM and then I got the second email today at 9:34 AM and unless I am glued to staring at my screen, I will not know if anything comes in or not. Thank you for Herald!
i updated my mac yesterday and it says that herald is no longer compatible… but i love it! could you come out with an update?
thanks!
1.2.1 is available on the download page with support for 10.6.4.
Thank you for the awesome piece of software. And for updating it.
Hi, I’m a Mac user from Beijing and Herald is one of the few plug-ins I have on my Mac. I love it cuz it’s light, beautiful and functioning well all the time. I’m not saying it’s perfect, and I’m sure you’re trying to make it better now. There’re three new features I’m hoping to see on the new version (all about the pop up window):
1. The Mark as Read button: this is one of the most-clicked button, and I found it kinda inconvenient to click on it each time cuz it’s on the far right. I feel it may be more convenient if it’s on the lower left of the pop up window (or you can enable the user to configure this on the Mail Preference panel).
2. The Reply button: this is one of my favorite buttons, but it’s kinda sad cuz every time I click on it, a Mail reply window will pop up, but the notification window still lingers, and I will have to click on the “x” button on the upper left conner of the window to close it in order to compose my reply. Can you make it vanish (just like the genie vanishes into the bottle, you know) when I click on Reply or other buttons leading to Mail composing sessions?
3. Can we have more buttons like Reply to All and Forward on the notification window?
Thanks very much!
