UI Browser 4

As part of the handover by Bill Cheeseman of his UI Browser application to Late Night Software, we received the source code to an unfinished UI Browser 4. UI Browser 4 is a rewrite of UI Browser in Swift.

In accordance with Bill's wishes, the UI Browser 4 source code is available to the public as open source project in this repository.

Status

The project builds and runs with Apple's Xcode 14.

UI Browser 4 is an UNFINISHED WORK and is not fully usable in its current form.

The source code mentions UI Browser 3 in a number of places. Despite these references, this is not the UI Browser 3 source code and cannot be altered to produce the existing UI Browser 3 application.

Requirements

macOS Monterey or later
Xcode 14 or later

Support/Discussion

Late Night Software maintains a section on its on-line forum for UI Browser user discussions.

Building

clone this repository
open the UI Browser.xcworkspace project using Xcode 14
issue the Build > Run menu command run the application
