Any word on that Pitstop Pro (Catalina) installer?

Kaiser, this might be what you're looking for:

Markzware Adds Adobe InDesign Plugins for Catalina & Windows
Markzware announces the addition of Q2ID InDesign plugins that support Adobe InDesign CC 2020 for macOS Catalina & Windows, for Quark to InDesign file conversion. The Q2ID bundle also contains plug-ins for versions of InDesign prior to CC 2020.

Markzware’s Q2ID will convert QuarkXPress—QXP documents, along with layout details, including colors, fonts, images and text, into a new, editable INDD document.

Q2ID requires a macOS 10.6.8 or higher, a valid InDesign license, an Internet connection to activate and register, and Adobe-recommended hardware requirements to run your version of InDesign.

Yeah, we're waiting for Pitstop Pro to work with Catalina as well. That's what developer previews are for! You get a bunch of time before public release to prepare updates so your software works still.

Oh if only that were true. You see Apple have a habit of making last minute changes, even after they have issued their so called 'Golden Master!'.
So you know what they say, once bitten, twice shy.

So with PitStop we have a rule that we only test on the 'official' release, that means the one our customers get to install.
Takes a little bit longer as we have to wait before we start testing, and we do quite a bit of testing. But we can then sleep soundly at night.

It's not far off, should be out before the end of the month. Beta version has been out on test for a while now.

I know it's a bit frustrating having to wait, but it's better than the alternative....

Off topic abc but there was an update to Acrobat a while back with the dark theme that makes the Pistop windows almost unreadable if you are using the Acrobat dark theme and the Mojave dark theme.

Thanks for letting us in our the thinking behind waiting! It helps. Glad the wait won't be too much longer.

Out today (Tuesday 26th November).
You should be prompted to upgrade in the application, but only do so if you have a PitStop 2019 license key (or want to start a trial).

I received an email about my Pitstop Server, but not my 2019 application?

 

[abc]

You should be able to update within the application.
Menu Bar: Help > Plugin help > Enfocus PitStop Pro help > Check for updates

November is nearly finished, is 2020 update 1 releasing soon?

 

[abc]

In beta at the moment, should be available in a few weeks.
If you want to try the beta please let me know. [email protected]

It's mainly bug fixes and macOS 11 Big Sur support on Intel only.
