In the worst case, you can copy two versions and manually merge them in a text editor like iAWriter (Markdown) or BBEdit, Smultron or CodeRunner (HTML). It’s a pain but there is visual diff built straight into WordPress to allow you to see what’s changed and what’s been lost. Fortunately WordPress offers revisions by default so it’s likely you will be able to recovery your work. Hence when publishing the modified post from MarsEdit, any work you or a colleague did on that post or page will be lost. There’s no notification when opening up a post in MarsEdit that the version on the server is more recent. Or if the version is more recent on MarsEdit one can publish to WordPress from MarsEdit and then take it over on WordPress for final tuning (media management is much more robust, naturally, from within WordPress, third-party content modification plugins like FV Player for instance, can only run properly on the server). Or one can refresh the whole weblog with shift-command-R. If the version on WordPress is more recent, then one can just click command-R to refresh the weblog post and get the most recent version before editing in MarsEdit. There’s two ways to save a WordPress post which has been published in MarsEdit, either on the server (within the WordPress interface) or within MarsEdit. If it wasn’t for MarsEdit there would be no way to post on WordPress from macOS except via the clunky WordPress interface which is anything except a writer’s tool (it’s impossible to forget the technology with all the options displayed at all times for publishing date, publishing status, categories, slug, tags, revisions, discussion, comments, trackbacks even without third party basics such as meta-description and social sharing options, let alone Yoast style post semantic SEO analysis).Īs I mentioned, it’s the save routine. Jalkut’s good intentions are not in doubt. Jalkut loves his users and is one of the good guys. 1 Alas, Daniel Jalkut has put MarsEdit users out on a very thin ledge, where it’s very difficult to go forward or back without falling off the ledge and losing huge amounts of work. The most important single task of a developer is to protect a user’s work from accidental deletion.
