Please create an OSX release of the 0.7.3 version

[jinnko]

I use pwm-je regularly and am currently on 0.7.2. Would like to have the 0.7.3 release please.

Thanks.

Hello Jinn -

I didn't know anybody used this anymore.

I created a pwmje-cocoa-macosx-0.73.dmg file on the GitHub releases page ( https://github.com/landshark666/passwordmaker-je/releases). I haven't built an OSX bundle in forever so I'm not sure I did it right. "It works on my computer" :) Let me know if it doesn't work.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for creating the DMG. I've been using pwmje for nearly two years and I find it great. I've also convinced a few people to use it too, so I know I'm not alone :) Will try out the 0.7.3 release this evening.

I find the PasswordMaker approach great and I would like to see it adopted more. Unfortunately too many projects around it are falling by the wayside.

Would be happy to make a donation if you take it (didn't find any mention on the README page).

Thanks again, Jinn

Hello Jinn -

I'm glad you enjoy the program. A donation is not necessary, though I appreciate the offer (you are the only one to have ever offered).

Unfortunately this is another of those programs to fall by the wayside, I haven't done any active development on it in a very long time. I don't even use it anymore since I've moved to LastPass because I wanted an easy way to have my passwords accessible from all my devices, securely - and LastPass fits that bill.

PassworMaker-JE however feels feature complete to me so I don't know of any development that I'd want to continue on with it anyway. However, I didn't want the program to vanish which is why I moved it to GitHub from Google Code.

Hi Dave,

At first the 0.7.3 build didn't work. I just had a go at running it on the CLI and I got the following:

$ java -jar pwmje-cocoa-macosx-0.7.3.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
    at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

    ... 5 more

So I opened up the "Get Info" dialogue for the app in finder and ticked the "Open in 32 bit mode" box and tried again and it worked.

Thanks again for the build. I've seen so many people move to LastPass and I personally find the PasswordMaker approach much more convenient and comfortable with regard to security. So really appreciate the effort you made to keep it alive on Github.

Many thanks, Jinn

Re active development... Personally I feel that pwmje is pretty much the only sane and usable interface to PasswordMaker. While it is obviously hard to keep motivation when the original devel feels the program is feature complete, it would be absolutely awesome if some maintenance work were done like fixing high-profile issues (e.g. #51) or adding some moderately complex new features (e.g. #46). It looks to me that there is only a limited number of rough edges that could be polished to make pwmje more useful to a more general audience.

Re securely accessing passwords from all devices... This can already be easily achieved with the cross-platform SpiderOak (both desktop and mobile) and its sync capabilities. It always encrypts data locally, and transmits and stores encrypted bits on its servers. Better not lose your master password, but this is as safe as it gets.
