Maybe would be good to add a third part number on the version for bug fix so we don't need to wait for the next release.

Manually updating winbox-for-mac to 3.7 (was: Winbox 3.7 released!)

Tue Oct 11, 2016 9:28 am

In case you want to patch up your Mac OS X version manually:
rsync -avloz /Applications/Winbox4Mac.app/ /Applications/Winbox4Mac-3.7.app/
cd /Applications/Winbox4Mac-3.7.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program\ Files/MikroTik
curl http://download2.mikrotik.com/routeros/winbox/3.7/winbox.exe --output winbox.exe
It assumes that you've installed the existing Mac OS X 3.6 version from http://joshaven.com/resources/tools/winbox-for-mac/ in `/Applications/Winbox4Mac.app`

Interesting how they've release Winbox with support for 6.38 when 6.38 is still only in RC release...I'd think they should release Winbox and ROS at the same time.

Hi Mikrotik,

Would it be possible to allocate more space for VERSION string? Why there's so much space reserved for ADDRESS?

You can use detail parameter
 /ip neighbor print detail

I would still prefer using:
/ip neighbor print
I see two ways how you could solve this problem:

1. by expanding VERSION field a little bit to avoid truncating
2. by removing channel from version string all together

Does that make sense to you? Shouldn't be hard to implement.

You don't have to repackage the Mac version. Just download this: http://mikrotikdownload.s3.amazonaws.co ... -macOS.zip and use Check for Updates to have the newest version.

You don't have to repackage the Mac version. Just download this: http://mikrotikdownload.s3.amazonaws.co ... -macOS.zip and use Check for Updates to have the newest version.
First of all you guys should work with Joshaven as:
1. even uncompressed, his download is way smaller than yours and his one works totally fine.
2. his download is a .dmg which is (after the App Store) is the preferred way for Mac users to get their software.

Then you should really document this and the upgrade process right next to the downloads.

The current state of the Mikrotik documentation is so dreadful that you really miss a lot of potential clients just because of it.
This is what people around me tell me when I raise the Mikrotik topic:

- their non-switch stuff doesn't work out of the box: you *have* to configure it
- it's hard to configure
- the documentation is crap: on paper it's very thin and the on-line docs are amteuristic at best
- firmware updates often break things
- the hardware itself is good

This means you're missing most of the prosumer/consumer markets which both are large segments.

Companies like Fritz!Box, Zyxel, DrayTek even ASUS do a better job here. TP-LINK does a worse job.

--jeroen

PS: one more example indicating your software development and release process needs some serious adjustment is that you don't expose version information in WinBox.

Man ir tāda nesaprotama problēma kura paradīta iekš šī video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEBuK96aHWE

Īsumā:

1. -winbox pats atvienojās pēc dažām sekundēm;
2. - sanāk ielogoties tikai pēc vairāku sesiju nomaiņām;
3 - ja kautko sačakarē tad caur MAC nesavienojās, tikai ja pievieno vadu pie porta kurš nav bridžā un uz kura netiek dalīts ip tikai tad savienojās ar 2 punktā aprakstīto metodi;

Lietoju RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN (agrāk bija sakonfugurēts caur quick set vakar atradu normālu manuāli un visu ar rokām pats sakonfigurēju) pirkts 2 gadus atpakaļ, instalēta pedejā BugFix versija (problēma ir arī ar current, ja noreseto pilnibā tad tas pats atkartojās), winbox 3.7

Agrāk tāda brīnuma nebija pirms 3 versijas, kad winbox pats atvienojās.

Is it planned/reasonable feature, that Winbox shows last used connection entry (and allows connection) without entering master password?

Unlike all the other grids, the log one is still very limited in functionality (for instance you cannot resize or select columns) and misses copy-to-clipboard functionality.

The best you can do is via the console/terminal with `where` filters like these:
/log print where buffer=memory && message~"__" && (message~"TCP" || message~"in:bridge_lan")

To do a console access to copy an IP address to ping it is a little overblown :lol:
It takes less to just write it by hand...
Just pointing out such a necessity on the log window.

Hello

i think winbox need to optimize the empty space on some menu windows,
ie on ipsec peer Encryption Algorithm and DH Group could optimized using the near empty space,
i have a 1366 x 768 Resolution, and can't see the bottom setting DPD interval.

I totally agree with you. Mikrotik is needs to work hard at improving usability of their software and readability of their documentation as they very much underestimate the value of user experience.

Winbox 3.7 crashes repeatedly on my Win7 64bit. Not even able to kill the process; have to do a full reboot to solve the problem. Winbox 3.4 works stable though.

As ROS 6.37.1 does not work with prior versions of Winbox is there a way to get hold of a ROS 6.36 version for my problem router hap lite (smips)?

Is this what you need? Just scroll down and find desired version.

Certainly a winbox problem as all versions until 3.4 were running like charme. Didn't say it is not working on all Win 7 64bit installtions though but wanted to give information about the system I am running.


Thank you for the link Sasa - dont know why I did not find it by my own.

I have notice that after a period of time the log window stops updating. Seems to happen universally on all device types and ROS versions 6.19 and up.

I have to close the log window and reopen for the log to be updated.

I am with you. Still using v 2.2.18 except a couple of smips devices which force me to use v3.x

I like the features of the new loader but the UI is not intuitive and as I've asked a few times (and have been ignored) I need winbox to remember on which monitor it should load each mikrotik connection.
I use 3 monitors and v2.2.18 loader always runs on my main monitor, and it always remembers on which monitor to load each mikrotik connection.
Also esc key does not exit from the loader window as it does on v2.2.18.
The v3 loader will load on which ever monitor it was exited from last time and will load all connections to the same monitor. I get that home users may not even have a desktop computer, let alone 3-4 monitor setups. But many of us use Mikrotik professionally. Multi monitor setups is the only way to go when you need increased productivity. And when logging in to dozens of routers every day these kinds of things slow you down and they add up in lost productivity.

Also when losing connection to the router, the loader will always lose fullscreen mode and move itself on the far top left region of the screen and many times if I hit reconnect it will mess up all the windows (since it's resized instead of full screen). Rendering this feature (windows placement) practically useless.
Even v2.2.18 that does not remember the windows positions consistently, is more predictable. And to be honest I preferred the windows positions to be saved on the router rather than the client. That way when logging into a router from a new/unknown PC I get the same layout. With v3 you have to use that convoluted 'session' thingy to keep the same layout on other PCs.

And, yes, the change of shortcuts does not help at all. Some of us use mikrotik for over 12years. Muscle memory is a bitch.

Nobody said they are not available. They are changed.

It's like in Windows 11 they change ctrl+c and ctrl+v to some other combination because someone said that they make mistakes with them.
After 30 years you don't touch that stuff. Even if some people make mistakes. Besides, that's why there's a safe mode in winbox for those who have fat fingers.

Can you allow for the old style shortcuts? These are god aweful and are going to give me rsi and no time. It's such a slow down now.

Biggest are:

Comment, Disable, Enable, Delete.

+1000

I don't know why they did this.

Next issue:
Is it me of there is a problem with a very slow winbox booting?
After clicking winbox icon, the program is not responding for 2-5 seconds, while winbox is loading saved ip adresses
the problem persists since 3.5 and is terribly annoying.
Tested on 5 computers with windows OS (from win7 to win10)

about 30-40 on any one machine. Noticed this as well, but just ignored it.

I'm generating reports from API and then i modify selected devices
I'm logging into 5-10 devices simultaneously and winbox lags is killing me

if you use API, how does Winbox lag play into this?

API generates a list of devices that I have to check and make changes.
Then I want to run winbox 10 times, and at this point there is this annoying waiting.

I just tried one thing.
I turned on ADVANCED MODE and winbox seems to load quicker. Can you infused check it on your machine?

I have around 150 saved routers and I don't see the lag you describe.

Sure it's noticeably slower than winbox v2. Especially when I run it for the first time after a reboot or something.
v2 just kills v3 in terms of loading time. No doubt about it.

But as long as v3 is unusable and Mikrotik will not take into account user's requests I don't really care.
v2 just works perfectly. Not bugs, no missing menus from version to version, no missing features and functionality no nothing. It just works as it should.
I wish I could say the same for v3. :?

Try to double click wlan1 on any device with 6.37.3 (windox v2) winbox will crash.

You said you dont have lag with new winbox - do you have advanced mode on? about 2 hours ago I switch to advanced mode and the lag is much shorter.

I haven't upgraded to v6.37.3 just yet. But if that's the case I will probably get stuck on 6.37.1 for a long time until either winbox 3 is as good as v2 or mikrotik stop forcing us to use a buggy version of winbox (remember newly released smips devices that only worked with rc versions of winbox v3. Ridiculous stuff!).

Just to clarify, I characterize v3 as buggy since it doesn't work the same or better than v2.
You can't call a newer version an 'upgrade' if it makes your job worse.
If features are missing or not working the same as v2 then it's a bug, not a feature. New 'eye candy' features (loader groups, sessions, inline comments) do not make up for the lost usability/speed/stability.

Winbox is a tool to do our jobs. Not a toy. These stuff matter to professionals. Apparently not to Mikrotik.

Regarding advanced mode, I always use advanced mode.
Yes without it there is a slight delay but it's a matter of miliseconds. I can barely notice it with my naked eye.
