I can’t wait to kick the tires and see the new icon design! I bet all the ripoff artists can’t wait to use the new icon on their site as well. Shopping carts and Tow Truck websites will be changed forever. LOL.!
Can it be the vaunted Transmit Extreme (or Express, or something else starting with Ex, EX4?) engine that we all have been waiting for? Rejoice, brothers and sisters, for now we can use a text editor that doesn’t suck® with an FTP client that blows not.
I’m glad to see, that the successfully story of transmit continuous. Can’t wait to get the upgrade and make a test drive with my loving truck with a beautiful polish ui.
Well… I can only be very happy for a major release of a Panic product, but… do you expect Coda 2.0 to come this year? And if yes, could I request better OOP support, as well as multi-touch optimization? :-)
Yeah, what about the drop cloth? I’m guessing a wire frame truck was used in a 3d modeling app and the “cloth” was draped over it and rendered? Do tell!
Very excited about some improvements to Transmit. Then super-optimized Coda 2 in June. Then Coda for iPad in July. One can dream! :)
As a Transmit user since its “Transit” days, back in Mac OS Classic, I am eagerly awaiting Transmit 4.0. Simply the BEST Mac FTP program on the planet!
I’ll second that request for Coda 2.0 and some kinda Transmit for the iPhone to replace programs like Air Sharing HD, etc and while I don’t think Coda could really be transferred to the iPad and preserve all the features some sort of web design program (ie Coda Lite) would be pretty cool!!!! Looking forward to Transmit 4!
Err, what’s the point of an FTP client for something as small and closed off as a cell phone or PDA period? There isn’t an extensive shared file directory on the iPhone, so downloading files for editing in another application (One of Transmit’s killer features) is useless. And second, Transmit can’t get files that aren’t provided by the OS for upload like your Photo Library. Might as well, in that case, be using a dedicated social photo uploading App rather then Transmit. Transmit’s too broad an application for what’s available on the iPhone.
Now, Coda for iPad; that’s another story. Coda’s already a one window web development application. And that fits like a glove with The iPad (And iPhone’s) one window working environment. Coda also needs a lot of space, at least compared to what’s available on the iPhone. So Coda would ‘work’ on the iPad (Ignoring the profound differences between Cocoa on the Mac and Cocoa on the iPhone).
The question is: is it worth it on the iPad? While less constrained then the iPhone with respect to files, it still isn’t as useful for full featured local/remote file editing as on the Mac. Can’t edit files in other applications, can’t import files not provided by the OS still.
And then there’s stability issues.
Lets say Panic, being the awesome people that they are, make a flawless iTransmitKit. Flawlessly uploading and downloading files. iPhone OS 4 comes along and suddenly we can leave the app and our transfers (Theoretically?) can continue on in the background. Yay! Now, I’ll just open up Mail, Safari, FaceBook, YouTube, Maps, Stocks, Weather. Huh, I wonder how my transfer is going. What? It inexplicably stopped? Multitasking on the iPhone OS will (to the best of my knowledge) unceremoniously kill the last used application when the RAM is constrained. Thus it becomes Panic’s fault that transfers aren’t running seamlessly in the background, when it isn’t their fault at all.
Sorry for the confusion. By “some kinda Transmit for the iPhone” I meant an app that would allow me to access remote volumes with the ability to open, copy, paste and rename on them. Not necessarily so much Transmit for the iPhone but a new app much like Air Sharing which I like to a point but I think could be better designed by the guys at Panic.
As for Coda – if they made Coda for the iPad I would buy it. I would absolutely buy it. But just read the Ars Technica review of iWork and consider if an even more demanding application like Coda could be remade as anything other than Coda lite.
As to all your other points I think you are addressing things I never put out there. Like many of the people on this thread I’m just putting my wishes out there – some are realistic, some not. :D
Ha, this one is easy! We have been testing this baby for a while. It’s called T-4 because, T-4 is short for T-4000 an advanced application made out of mimetic cocoa-alloy-api it can take the form and function of any application. This app replaces all apps on your computer, one app to rule them all! ;)
Any idea when this is gonna be released? It says 4/20, but we’re well past that ;) If this is a new version of Transmit I will be buying the SECOND IT COMES OUT! Come on guys!
Wow! Only one day. :) Congratulations. One little question. Do you think about a Spanish version of Coda and Transmit? I have a little company in spanish and i can help making the spanish translations. See you :)
As silly as it may sound to get excited about an FTP client, I’ve really been looking forward to seeing what the last few years of development have done for Transmit 4. I will definitely be downloading this tomorrow if it’s available.
Well guys congrats on transmit … but of course i would like to see that cloth standing upon a leaf pretty soon. Not for iPad as that is a pretty useless gizmo..
Oh, right. How could I forget … I want Coda2 too. And with a preview mode that lets me type-in text. Just like Dreamweaver, only without the extreme suckiness.
Quantize – I had similar problem but I was trying to unlock the latest beta. I downloaded a fresh copy from Panic.com, logged out and back in, overwrote beta with latest version and then it worked. Good luck.
They are working on fixing this bug, check Twitter …. i got qualified for a free upgrade to Transmit 4, because i bought transmit on 3.3.2010 :) ….. thank you Panic Team ^^
thanks for making the beautiful transmit-icon-draped-under-a-sheet headline graphic here a transparent png so I could squish it down to 256×256 pixels, drop it into my best-29-dollars-i’ve-ever-spent candybar app, and use for my oh-my-god-transmit4-is-the-greatest-ftp-client-i-have-ever-seen dock icon which is really just an idea I stole from a screenshot of a very talented artist on da whose name i won’t mention here because i want everyone to think that i was smart enough to think this great idea up on my own (but obviously i am not so i will shamelessly stand on his or her shoulders)

Panic is making an awesome new Trivial FTP client and the icon will be a Mini Cooper instead of a delivery truck.
