Permute receives major macOS update with rewritten UI and improved media handling
A review and reflection on the major update to Permute, a macOS media converter. The author, a long-time user who originally hunted Permute 3.0 seven years ago, confirms that the developer's promise of a deep refactor that feels familiar was accurate. Key changes include a rewritten UI using Apple's newer frameworks, improved presets for modern hardware, better cropping and metadata handling, and the integration of Workshop into the main window as file actions. DVD authoring has been removed.
Key quotes
I used @Permute forever (I hunted Permute 3.0 seven years ago!!), so I was nervous but hopeful about @charlie_monroe's promise that 'everything changed but you'll still feel at home'.
After beta testing it for a while leading up to launch, I can confirm that he was right.
This isn't a shiny-new-app launch so much as a deep refactor of a Mac workhorse: rewritten UI using Apple's newer frameworks, better presets for modern hardware, cleaner cropping, stronger metadata handling, and Workshop folded back into the main window as file actions.
