I kept pressing Command-Z in order to undo mistakes I made in Markup, and it did nothing. Marking up a file really does feel like you’re using a different program entirely-but one without keyboard shortcuts or a menu bar. Unfortunately, I’m not thrilled about the implementation. You can stick your signature on PDFs without ever leaving Mail. In this case, Apple’s written a Markup extension that lets you draw lines, shapes, text, and more on PDFs and images.
Yosemite os x mail code#
Markup is actually an example of the new Extensions technology that’s debuting in both Yosemite and iOS 8, in which code from an entirely separate application can appear inside another app’s window. Markup is an Extension that lets you modify images and PDFs in place in Mail. Click it and select Markup, and the item zooms out, with a toolbar appearing directly above the item. Here’s how it works: You click on a file and an icon appears in the top-left corner of the file’s preview. You just need to remember not to put your Mac to sleep or shut it down after you’ve sent your message, because your large file may still be uploading in the background.Īnother interesting idea added to Mail this time around is a feature called Markup, which allows you to add simple annotations to images and PDFs from directly within a Mail window.
I don’t mind using Dropbox (or back in the day, YouSendIt) to exchange files with friends, but it’s a multi-step workaround-and this is as simple and direct as it gets. This is a quintessential Apple feature, eliminating a common headache without forcing the user to change their behavior at all.
