Fetch Jul

We are pleased to report that Fetch 5.6, the current release, works well with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
We have identified two compatibility issues that may affect some users:
- The Fetch Dashboard Widget does not work under Lion, and we recommend that users use droplet shortcuts instead.
- Due to a bug in Automator in Lion, users may see -1708 errors when opening or saving Automator workflows including certain combinations of Fetch Automator actions. We have reported this problem to Apple, and hope it will be addressed in a future system update.
My Fetch 5.7 (5H314, Web Store) does not work with Lion 10.7.3. It crashes as soon as it establishes a connection. It’s a real drag.
Hi Robert,
Try Fetch 5.7.1, which you can download from http://fetchsoftworks.com . Let us know if it doesn’t fix the problem.

I have just installed Lion 10.7.4 and Fetch is now crashing. I can make a connection alright but any further action like trying to up load, create a shortcut or mirror and it crashes. I have reported all instances to Apple.
There seems to have been a problem for sometime now judging from this list. Is any progress being made to a fix? I need my ftp client to be working! Thanks.
Hi Claire,
Have you tried downloading Fetch 5.7.1 from http://fetchsoftworks.com ?
Thanks,

Are you coding the next version of Fetch to include/use 1Password from within Fetch?
Hi,
Thanks for that suggestion. Apparently there’s no way to access 1Password from within an app like Fetch (as opposed to a web page). See this discussion on the 1Password website:
