Carbon Copy Cloner 7.1.3

Version 7.1.2:

CCC has a new “glass” icon that looks great on macOS Tahoe! Big thanks to our UI designer Enelia at Abacus Finch who was able to find a way to keep our beloved page curl with the new glass material.

[…]

Tahoe users: If you disable the CCC menubar icon via the new System Settings > Menu Bar > Allow in the Menu Bar interface, CCC cannot be aware of that setting. For the best experience, we recommend that you use the settings inside of CCC for controlling whether the CCC menubar icon is visible.

[…]

In lieu of a separate button, you can now hold down the Option key while clicking the Start button if you would like to have CCC rescan the entire source and destination (i.e. suppress Quick Update). Additionally, you can hold down the Control key to perform an ad hoc Backup Health Check.

[…]

Added yet another workaround for Apple’s restriction on access to the current WiFi network name for the macOS Sequoia 15.6 update. CCC uses the WiFi network name only in support of the option to limit a scheduled task to running when the system is connected to a specific WiFi network.

Version 7.1.3:

CCC will now more effectively dissent requests to unmount the source volume snapshot when the task is actively using that volume for the duration of a task event. Requests to unmount that snapshot are pretty rare, but that can happen if free space on the source volume is very low, or during a logout event. This change resolves the errors that would ensue in those cases when the source is unmounted while we’re using it.

Just out of curiosity, is the new icon linked somewhere that I missed? A little odd to mention a new icon but not attach a link to it. Not a user of CCC, but interested in how the glass icon trend goes.


@Léo Their site still seems to be showing the old icon. The new one is a subtle change, basically filling in the squircle in the bottom-right corner and adding some glass texture around the edges.


Yeah, as all things glass icons go, that’s a good one, as in, it doesn’t ruin the original intent of the app’s icon, but as you say, it only required a subtle change.

I just can’t get over how terrible Apple’s icon are. That is the worst about all the glass changes. The huge UI elements, the margins, the rounded corners, the bugs l—I could live with those, I guess—but the icons are absolutely horrendous.
