![]() When I visit my parents, they're almost always several versions behind, and as another commenter pointed out, a decent part of that is the autoupdate needing to update itself. Right now Microsoft's autoupdate UX is pretty terrible at keeping things up to date. Seems like a good play from both Apple & Microsoft's perspective. Aside from update UX this is obviously a way to bump their Mac Office numbers. This is a positive shift for them, since being on the App Store means features ship faster and users see value in their Office subscription. I think the issue finally reached a breaking point there and they shifted to UX > control. Coupled with the poor autoupdate UX on Mac, and it's almost like Microsoft doesn't want you to have Office on Mac. You have to log in to your Live account, then go to a particular page to manage your existing Office installs that is super confusing. Have you tried to download Office from their website? It's a horrible, braindead experience. It's also a signal that the App Store team may now be willing to do the deals necessary to attract MacOS apps back toward this larger strategic initiative (vs just trying to maximize revenue).įrom Microsoft's perspective, now that Windows is sidelined, Office is their primary consumer platform and that means UX outweighs any strategic tax of trying to make the Windows version better. I see this potentially as groundwork for the eventual integration of Mac and iOS App Stores, which you have to imagine is something Apple wants in the years ahead as platforms converge on common software stack and UX. There are currently three visual styles available. This can be useful when you are viewing photos, and want the surrounding window to be less distracting. The app will let you change the graphical style of its windows. It will even try to load bitmap images hidden inside PDF and Flash SVF files, and it will let you see individual layers of PSD files. It will also animate stereoscopic MPO files to give them a slight 3D effect. It also supports animated GIF, APNG and WebP files. However, it also supports a number of formats beyond those: It supports the new APNG and WebP formats fully, and it supports many older formats: PCX, both Amiga and Maya IFF files, MSX MAG and MKI files, Unix PNM, XBM and XPM files, and Dreamcast PVR and PVM files. Xee supports all the standard image file formats that most OS X apps do: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, raw camera images, and so on. You can also delete and rename images, open them in an external editor, or mark them with Finder labels from inside the tool. It also has a list of previously used destinations, to allow you to move images as quickly as possible. It will let you quickly copy and move images to other folders. The app is useful for sorting through and arranging image files. Rotating images with gestures is also supported. You can even configure different sorting orders for horizontal and vertical swipes. You can of course scroll and resize images with touch gestures, but you can also swipe between the images in the same folder or archive. Xee has extensive support for touch controls. ![]() The program will also optionally resize its window to best fit your images on the screen. You can then quickly browse forward or backward in the folder, and the app will flip through all the images, without having to open each one yourself. When you open an image in Xee, it will also scan the same folder (and, optionally, subfolders) for further images. It is similar to macOS's Preview.app, but lets you easily browse the entire contents of folders and archives, move and copy image files quickly, and supports many more image formats. Xee for Mac is a streamlined and convenient image viewer and browser.
