Hi guys,

I’m looking to move to Mac in a week or so and this has been great news to see a Mac version of Ewallet. Just a quick question, will my ewallet file in XP be transferable over to MAC to avoid entering the data all over again?

Thanks again guys, you just need to get us onto the Blackberry and we’ll all be smiling!!

I really would have liked to see the “ribbon” interface that you used on the Windows version. I believe that interface makes it way better to design and manage cards.

Office 2011 for Mac is also going to have the ribbon interface when released at the end of the year.

I know not everybody is a fan of the ribbon but I really like you version for Windows!

Would be nice if you could design it so we could choose our interface… turn ribbon on or off to try and please everyone!

@Biglar: We hope to have sync like the Windows version in the final Mac version.

@Andrew Offen: You cannot register the Preview version unless you own eWallet 7, so if you want to use it for more than 30 days, you do need to upgrade to eWallet 7 for $10.00. You can use the trial to convert your data, however the trial will expire after 30 days.

We don’t yet know if the final Mac version is going to be part of a paid upgrade to eWallet 7.x or part of the current license. You won’t be buying just the Mac version if it is part of a paid upgrade – you would be upgrading eWallet for every platform we support it on.

@Elvin I just put those bugs in!

Ok just downloaded a trial of v7.1, converted the old v5 wallet and then swapped that over to the mac. Works like a dream.

Question for Ilium. If I upgrade to windows ewallet v 7.1 do I have to pay again to get the mac version when it is released?

Regards
Andrew

“@Andrew I may be mistaken but I think the import instructions on the Support page for e-wallt says that the file needs to be opened or converted in the 7.0 version of windows e-wallet. The Mac version will not open older versions”

Does that mean I have to purchase the windows version to convert and then the mac version to use my old data? Seems a bit harsh….

Sorry one other small bug.

The properties pane on the right hand side is not big enough to show all of the fields displayed particularly the drop down fields use to define the types of fields. All the “hidden” option for passwords does not mask the password when the card is displayed in the details pane.

@ Julie Thank you for this version it work a 1000 times better than the previous version and is much more stable and usable than the past version.

One bug though.

When looking at cards in which the password is not part of the actual graphical card (like when looking at a credit card) the password in the details window below the card graphic is not masked. This is different from how it works in the windows version. I could not find anything in the settings to turn on the masking.

Was this intentional or something that will be fixed in a future release.

Thanks

Elvin
