Update July 11, 2009: The issue is now fixed on the US versions of Shop’NCook Home, Menu and Pro. I will update the international versions and Shop’NCook Reader in a few days - meanwhile use the workaround below.

Java for Mac OS X 10.5 can cause Shop’NCook to crash. I am working on it and hopefully will publish a compatible version of Shop’NCook in a few days. Meanwhile, Shop’NCook users should wait before installing the latest Java update.

Update June 30, 2009:  Mmm, the latest Java update seems to be protecting against very serious security vulnerabilities. Forget what I wrote above - do install the update as soon as possible, then applies the easy workaround below to continue using Shop’NCook.

If you have already installed it, here is a simple workaround:

1. Open the Java Preferences in folder Applications/Utilities .
2.  Drag J2SE 1.4.2, 32-bit at the top of the choices for Java applications.

That’s it! By setting Java 1.4.2 as your preferred Java Virtual Machine, Shop’NCook will work again like before.

Likely usual, I opened my to-do list this morning… and found that for the first time in months, I had reached the bottom of my list.

Before starting on my next big project, I thought I would work on a few stuffs that have been waiting for a while because of lack of time. The first one of these is adding the requested voluntary components to the free nutrition facts panel tool.

Accordingly, I have added polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat and potassium to the labeling tool. I have also changed a little the layout and allowed to input fractions in the number of serving. Here is an example of a label made with the updated labeling tool:

Try it and let me know how it works!
