I have been using Golive since it was first out. When Adobe switched to DW I bought a Mac, dumped the PC and started learning DW. Is taking awhile. BUT, I miss my MM. I keep on updating old sites using Windows GoLive because of the MM but cannot wait for the new MM so all my sites can migrate from Windows Golive to DW.

Hey, Rob…….

Okay, I qualify: I’m on a Mac (since 1992 ) I’ve Lindadotcommed myself for a year now on DW CS3 and CSS; I still feel like a newbie and I HATE CSS and the W3C — in that order. However, I love you and Janet and MM…..so I’m standing on one foot then the other waiting on V3…..any idea as to an ETA…

I’m looking forward to see MM3 for DW. Sorry or PC users here. But you know what, there are tons of PC only apps out there, and then there are some Mac only apps for us. So be it PC users still have plenty choices of apps to work with.

And if you do web design, please get a MAC for your own good.

@Meggi:
You will be able to import MenuMachine 2 menus into the new version, however you will probably need to fine tune the appearance once the menu is imported, it will not look exactly the same. The menu structure and links will be retained, which is usually the most time-consuming part of building the menu.

Will it be possible to keep existing menues from MM2 and use them with MM3?

Blog updates seem to have stopped. What is the current status of MM3?

As one who uses mainly a Mac, but also Windows (when necessary), I can empathize with the distress of those complaining of this program going Mac only. The same feeling I get when confronted with the myriad of Windows only programs. The usual response if the developer is queried on any possible Mac version is to get a PC. As a result, I also have a PC. I think you can see where this is going…

@Disappointed:

Unfortunately there are simply no cross-platform toolkits available that would allows us to build an app that we would be happy with. Those that are available all have major compromises.

As I’ve explained in a reasonable amount of detail on the blog here, we are a small company and we had to make a difficult technical decision. Our only other choice would have been to drop MenuMachine development altogether.

I am very sorry that we have had to exclude a large chunk of our users, it is most definitely not what we wanted to do.

Just as Adobe slammed the door on you, so you have slammed the door on all Windows platform users – 30% of your customers according to your figures – including many corporate and industrial-strength websites.

And you have entered the idiotic world of platform-specificity instead of choosing a development platform which makes your software accessible to others.

A strange way to run a business, but I guess we will be elsewhere from now on anyway.
