Great news, paul. Hopefully one day I can make the live preview scream even on a PB G4 :) But yeah it will definitely run better on your Dual G5!

OK… I’m an idiot. You are correct, Daniel. Plugins, Java, and Javascript were not enabled. I normally blog from my desktop (dual 2.0 GHz G5), and I have everything set up the way I like it. I’m traveling right now with my laptop (1.33 GHz G4 iBook), and mistakenly thought I had already set it up the same way. Everything is displaying now that they are enabled.

The difference in processor is also probably why I never noticed an issue with Live Preview.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi Paul - I haven’t done anything to the live preview for this release, but I am aware that it is often painfully slow. I am going to look into whether there are some performance tricks I can apply to make it more palatable.

You might want to try turning off live preview. The preview still updates pretty darned frequently even when live preview is off. It’s just not re-rendering the web content everytime you type a new character.

Do you have any idea when the Flash video content stopped working? It might be related to whether the “JavaScript” support is on for the preview window. So double-check that setting in “HTML Display” preferences.

I’m not sure if it’s a result of today’s update, or it happened earlier, but today I noticed that the live preview is painfully slow, and MarsEdit is no longer capable of displaying embedded Flash video (YouTube) in the preview window.
