TextExpander 3.0.2 Improves Performances, Fixes Bugs

San Francisco, CA -- April 14, 2010 -- SmileOnMyMac has released TextExpander 3.0.2, an update to its customizable typing shortcut tool for Mac OS X. With TextExpander, users can define abbreviations for frequently-used text strings and images, also known as snippets. When an abbreviation is typed, it expands automatically to the full snippet.

TextExpander 3.0.2 has improved performance overall. Expansions work properly in Spotlight and in the quick entry windows of other applications. An issue with double expansion in LaunchBar has been fixed. Users can exclude applications in capitalization options in Preferences.

A number of other improvements and fixes have also been made in TextExpander 3.0.2.
