Mar 5, 2024
- Fixed: Potential crashes with context menus.
New in TableFlip 1.6.0 (Mar 1, 2024)
- New: JSON file import. Open JSON files with arrays of non-nested objects at the root.
- JSON keys become column headers and the JSON is represented in tabular format for editing.
- Value types are preserved, like: integers, floats, booleans and null values.
- Input is validated (illegal input discarded) and converted to the given type during editing.
- Boolean data becomes toggle-able checkboxes. (No matter if you double click, ⌥+Enter, F2.)
- New: Copy as JSON feature added allowing the user to copy the current table in JSON format to the pasteboard.
- New: JSON file export. Produce well formatted JSON from tabular data and export to disk. Support for either minified or pretty printed JSON.
- New: Zoomable contents aka custom font sizes. Increase font size with ⌘+ and decrease with ⌘-.
- Fixed: Some toolbar items did not do their job when they were clicked in the overflow menu (that automatically appears when the window becomes too narrow). Thanks to Nathan Manceaux-Panot for discussing this problem and sharing a fix!
New in TableFlip 1.5.0 (Nov 9, 2023)
- Improved: Much better performance for opening and editing large files.
- New: HTML export: you can copy the table as minimal HTML to your clipboard or save .html files.
- New: LaTeX file export with a minimal preamble added. Previously, you could copy the LaTeX table to your clipboard, but not save the table as a stand-alone, PDF-renderable file.
- New: LaTeX export options.
- New: Begin to edit cells with the F2 key (a Microsoft® Excel® feature).
- New: Show Edit Cell and End Editing Cell shortcut in the Edit menu for discoverability.
- Fixed: Issues with CSV import of UTF files starting with a byte order mark.
- Fixed: File type selection drop-down during save and export operations.
New in TableFlip 1.4.1 (Feb 27, 2023)
- Improved: CSV importing and exporting compatibility: better handling of Excel export data, and quoted cell contents.
- Fixed: Edit > Copy Row didn’t copy the selected row properly.
- Fixed: Crash when copying a CSV-imported table as LaTeX or Markdown.
- Changed: Notifications are now off by default.
New in TableFlip 1.4.0 (Jul 20, 2022)
- New: CSV delimiter guessing. Comma-separated, semicolon-separated, or tab-separated – TableFlip tried to make an educated guess so you can edit the file.
- New: Preserves CSV delimiters when saving/exporting. When you open a file with semicolons as cell separators, you will save changes with the same separator.
- Fixed: Crashes and oddities related to quoted values in CSV files exported from e.g. Microsoft Excel(R).
New in TableFlip 1.3.1 (Jan 19, 2021)
- Fixed: Displaying of current license information in the Non-Mac App Store version.

New in TableFlip 1.2.0 (May 22, 2019)
- Fixed: CSV auto-save crash.
- Fixed: Selecting “Delete” from the edit menu not deleting the cell contents and logging an error to the Console.
- Fixed: Consistent toolbar icons, especially when shrinking the window to reveal the hidden items toolbar menu.
- Fixed: About window now shows itself again.
- Changed: Sandboxed the app.
New in TableFlip 1.1.11 (Jan 4, 2019)
- Fixed: Table header cells did not draw the background properly in Mojave with transparency turned on.
- Fixed: Add the file type of “MultiMarkdown Composer” (net.multimarkdown.text) to the supported Markdown file formats.
- Changed: Removed transparent window background. Didn’t add anything and did not even look that good.
- New: Tables do change their appearance in dark mode to reduce eye strain due to high contrast. The tab bar as well.
New in TableFlip 1.1.10 (Jan 4, 2019)
- Fixed: Adjusted user interface colors for Mojave Dark Mode: editing table cells looked odd.
New in TableFlip 1.1.9 (Nov 23, 2018)
- Fixed: Pasting tabular data from Microsoft Excel resulted in empty lines on every second line. Excel pasteboard contents contain CR+NF newlines, which were interpreted as 2 newlines.
- Fixed: Pasting single character column didn’t display the new column headings.
- Fixed: Auto-save toolbar configuration.
- Fixed: Some toolbar icons would not respond when you hid the icon texts. (Icon-only mode.)
- Changed: Moved “Export Table” to the File menu and assigned a default shortcut (Cmd+E).
- New: Mojave Dark Mode support for the UI! The tables are still rather bright, though :)
New in TableFlip 1.1.8 Build 41 (Apr 5, 2018)
- Fixed: This one’s weird: the last column’s cell could bubble up if you remove empty cell delimiters above. When you have 4 columns and all 4 are filled with data in the first row, then you leave the 4th cells empty in a couple of rows beneath and removed their trailing empty pipe, the data of any upcoming 4th column’s cell would appear below the first row.
- Fixed: Markdown clipboard export with “Align columns” disabled did not produce separator dashes in columns with empty headings.
- Changed: Performance of moving the selection around in large tables is way better.
- Changed: Performance of typing in a large table is improved.
- Changed: Performance of moving past the table boundaries (effectively adding and removing columns and rows) is improved drastically. Really, it’s a lot faster.
- New: Copy row/column in context menus.
New in TableFlip 1.1.7 Build 39 (Mar 26, 2018)
- Fixed: Segmented toolbar buttons were cut off on High Sierra.
- Fixed: Saving a document did sometimes trigger a reload of the file as if an external change was performed on High Sierra.
- Fixed: Temporary cell backgrounds (gray) did bleed into the main table on High Sierra when you changes the table size.
- Fixed: Crash on external file change while you edit a cell in TableFlip.
New in TableFlip 1.1.6 Build 38 (Mar 15, 2017)
- Fixed: Removing the first column or row via shortcuts or the menu items sometimes cleared the cells, sometimes not.
- Fixed: Removing columns and rows preserves the cell selection.
- Fixed: Crash when removing a “temporary” column.
- Fixed: Typo in the help.
- Changed: Copying the table now by default copies tabular data (ready to paste into your spreadsheet app).
- Changed: A technical detail, saving CSV files defaults to public.csv now, hopefully improving compatibility with CSV editors around the world.
- Changed: Markdown document types should be more stable. When the format is unknown (because some arcane editor sets your favorite file extension to a weird document type, say), the app falls back to Markdown silently now. It used to display an error report. Not only is it silent, it also sticks to this setting when saving. That should reduce unknown file type trouble further. Well, that’s a lot of “should”s today.
- Changed: You can set what “Copy Table” (⌘⇧C) is supposed to do in the advanced preferences. It now defaults to tabular text for spreadsheet apps.
- New: Pasting tabular data (from Excel, Word, and websites, for example) works. I didn’t realize how much I missed it.
- New: Pasting columns and rows (which you could copy for ages) is now working. No more squeezing into a single cell!. Just hit ⌘V as usual and enjoy. Turns out this helps change existing tables a lot.
- New: “Copy Table As Markdown” now offers a customization to skip visual alignment of table cells. Some parsers like GitHub’s don’t enjoy more than 15 spaces, it seems.
New in TableFlip 1.1.5 Build 34 (Nov 27, 2016)
- Fixed: “Remove column” crashed the app when you were outside the table contents. The toolbar and menu bar items are now simply disabled when you’re not inside the table’s content bounds.
- Fixed: Arcane document types (like “com.unknown.markdown”), probably due to text editors I have never even heard of, will not trigger a warning anymore. TableFlip resorts to the file extension if the file type macOS reports isn’t recognized.
- v1.1.4 caused more trouble for some people than 1.1.3, but 1.1.5 now should finally get rid of it.
New in TableFlip 1.1.4 Build 32 (Nov 6, 2016)
- Fixed: “Remove column” crashed the app when you were outside the table contents. The toolbar and menu bar items are now simply disabled when you’re not inside the table’s content bounds.
- Fixed: Arcane document types (like “com.unknown.markdown”), probably due to text editors I have never even heard of, will not trigger a warning anymore. TableFlip resorts to the file extension if the file type macOS reports isn’t recognized.
New in TableFlip 1.1.3 Build 31 (Oct 31, 2016)
- Fixed: After opening .txt files was fixed, some .md/.markdown/.mdown/... files didn't work; now these should flip as expected in any language and encoding.
- Fixed: Improved export/save-as file type conversion.
- Fixed: Opening TXT files works again.
- New: Support for files saved by MultiMarkdown Composer (net.multimarkdown.text).
New in TableFlip 1.1.1 Build 29 (Oct 26, 2016)
- Fixed: Opening TXT files works again. Sorry for the trouble!
- Fixed: Support and preserve non-UTF-8 file encodings.
- Fixed: Special character escaping has been improved. There were issues with pipes in Markdown table cells before.
- Changed: Top-left cell will be selected in a table by default when opening or creating a file so you can edit away instantly.
- Changed: Export options will be remembered.
- Changed: Changing column alignment will justify cells contents in the text files, too. For example, you’ll get a | $1 | cell when the column is right-aligned.
- New: Added “Check for Updates” to the main menu.
- New: Flip, open, save, and export as CSV.
New in TableFlip 1.0.3 Build 27 (Oct 15, 2016)
- Fixed:
- Always update column headings after deleting a column.
- Crash when selecting cells in documents.
- Links between help pages now work. Also, one page didn't render properly at all.
- Changed:
- File > New creates an empty table right away; to specify the table size in advance, hold the Alt (⌥) key or press ⌥⌘N.
- macOS Sierra tabs should now be disabled. Hopefully.
- Change URL scheme to accept URL-Encoded paths.
- New:
- Add LaTeX clipboard export under: Edit > Copy Table
- Expanded keyboard shortcut help.
- TableFlip now asks to be moved to /Applications/ upon first launch to prevent update issues later on.
