Took advantage of the long week-end to make a new release of my personal project: QuickDraw viewer, a tool to visualise and convert QD images used on old Macintosh computer into something modern like PDF or PNG.

This was mostly a maintenance release, switching to Swift 6 and adding the relevant synchronisation annotations. It's far from perfect but it works. I also improved the localisation, and some the documentation.

The consultation comes after the plans were passed by Japan's House of Representatives and House of Councillors in 2024. The country's FTC has issued what its announcement calls draft subordinate legislations. They are all part of Japan's Mobile Software Competition Act, and a summary document shows that the new

A friend sent me this screenshot of FCPX running on OS X Mavericks:
1. Everything is compartmentalized; sections, subsections, content, tools
2. Clear on/off state for controls
3. Even with icons lacking color, they have detail; far clearer than SF Symbols could ever be
4. Buttons have borders; you can tell what is a button vs. symbol (representing a status)

This is what Dark Mode should have been; a "lights out" version of standard window chrome. Not just black.

Ahh yes, when #iTunes got rid of Aqua table view headers and scroll bars for more "plastic-y" ones... Still looked pretty damn nice and well designed.

Look how color and depth aid in compartmentalization of the UI and user's content. So gorgeous.
