I’m very grateful to for mocking up some ideas about an Arq UI. The makers are inspired by an improved mockup of the UI and are considering making improvements. There are several complaints on Twitter about bugs and missing features. Arq just doesn’t look and feel like the Arq everyone knew and loved. Moreover, version 6 is also a big departure in terms of the familiar UI. But being a native app was what was so good about Arq. And the developers, who need to build both a Windows and Mac app, probably picked a method that they thought was best for them. Now, I understand that the switch to Electron is just for the main UI, while the core backup agent is still Obj-C on the Mac. I’ve been using Arq for ten years, but I’m not supporting this.
ARQ BACKUP WINDOWS UPGRADE
Needless to say I’m not going to upgrade to Arq 6. This just makes me sad, both as a user as well as a developer. Example: Īnother crappy electron replacement for a once native Mac app. Long time user: Use of is a severe impediment to usability. (The background agent process that does the work remains Objective-C.) The problems with Electron range from the superficial (everything just looks and feels off) to the functional (you can’t navigate outline views with the arrow keys or type-selection).Ī lot of people are unhappy with the switch to Electron:Īgreed. The bad news is that the app you interact with is now built with Electron.
However, Version 6 is a strict no-go for me, as Michael notes: Both apps are vastly different, and I was looking to use Arq to back up selective data from my primary machine, which is the 2016 MacBook Pro. Although I’ve been a SuperDuper! user for the longer time, I had been considering making a switch to Arq every now and then. Michael Tsai has a written a fantastic overview about this release, so you should go ahead and read that first.
