[Itms-backup-beta-testing] Release 0.8.1

[Mario D. <mar...@ma...>]

Gentlemen,

I have made the bug fix for the bug Bruce found and uploaded the new 
version to Sourceforge. I have changed nothing else for version 0.8.1.

I should have found this bug myself during testing, and I'm sorry I did 
not. I keep forgetting that Cocoa does not really have support for 
old-style Macintosh Alias files. Fortunately, I had discovered this a 
while back and had written some code to handle Aliases. I've 
incorporated the code (MDAliasWrapper) into the application. There 
should be no problem now.

Bruce made couple of suggestions, which I've included below:

> 1.  Have some indication that iTmsBackup is reading the XML file.  
> Basically, it appears as if nothing is happening.
>
> 2.  Align the left side of the progress bar with the left side of the 
> Backup Location well.

I'm wondering, does the application read the XML file so quickly now 
that those of you with fast machines aren't seeing the progress bar 
scroll and the "Building database..." label? I still see it on my 
machine (iMac 800 MHz), but it's dropped from about 6 seconds duration 
to 1 or 2.

Also, the progress bar and the Backup Location well align on my 
machine. However, the NSBox that I am using appears different on Jaguar 
than it does on Panther. I think what I'll end up doing is changing the 
NSBox to the inset appearance (the default on Panther) and lining it 
up. That way it will appear consistent from Jaguar to Panther.

Happy testing!

Mario
