Apple on Monday issued updates for Final Cut Pro and Dark Sky, delivering a handful of bug fixes including a patch that would cause issues with the weather app when viewing current conditions on Apple Watch.
Final Cut Pro version 10.6.1 introduces fixes for multiple file handling issues, like a bug that could prevent users from importing FCPXML 1.9 and 1.10 files. Another patch addresses an issue in the Export File share destination that would cause the Video Codec setting to appear as unavailable after selecting "Computer" as the format.
The update also remedies a problem in which the Command-Z keyboard shortcut would fail to perform an Undo action when a host system's language was set to Spanish.
Finally, the latest Final Cut Pro version improves reliability during playback of AC3 audio.
Final Cut Pro sells for $299.99 on the Mac App Store.
Apple's update of Dark Sky comes bearing fixes for apparent location-related bugs. A first issue would cause weather information for a user's "current location" to appear blank, while another saw the app displaying an incorrect "current location" on Apple Watch.
The update includes the usual unnamed stability and performance improvements.
Apple purchased Dark Sky in March 2020 and subsequently rolled some of the hyperlocal weather app's headlining features into its first-party Weather app. The tech giant plans to shut down the Dark Sky iOS app and accompanying API at the end of 2022.
Dark Sky is currently available for $3.99 from the iOS App Store.

Hallelujah on the Dark Sky fix. For being an Apple property, I was quite surprised at its (mis)behavior.
Yeah I really want to buy an app that I know will be toast in a year. No Hallelujah here. But it's something for those who already own it.
Dark Sky is my favorite weather app by far but it does have a couple of bugs, like all software does. The most annoying one is that it will "capture" a location that I'm traversing and then "lock into" that location for several hours or longer as being my current location, even though I have always granted it full access to location services. Nothing like seeing weather info on your watch or phone for a place you drove through many hours ago. Hopefully this fix will alleviate that issue and dark Sky will remain relevant for long enough for Apple to move all of its best features into the native weather app, which is definitely getting much better with each release.
