File Lister 1.0

File Lister 1.0 is developed to be an easy to use utility which helps with listing files. It has options for excluding and matching files not found in Sherlock or other search applications. File Lister could be used as a search utility, though it's main purpose is to return and save a list of files. Lists can be saved as text or html files.
Saved text file lists can be re-opened by File Lister. Saving as html is best for printing or web implementation. The html generator uses style-sheets, which make page loading faster for large lists. If the list is saved as html you have the option to link each file name to it's path on your system.
This makes all of the listed files accessible from a single page (good for an mp3 list or documents; note that long file names are not supported in IE). Other html options include: table border, cellspacing, cellpadding, html title, font, text size, text color, link color, active link color, visited link color and hover link color.

File Adopter 1.0 is a smart program which utilizes your Internet Config preferences to help you insert type and creator codes to files that lack them. Typeless files are common on Mac OS X, and are a source of numerous frustrations. File Adopter works with simple drag and drop. It can replace existing type and creator codes if they disagree with Internet Config, or only add codes when they are absent.
After adopting a file, it shows you the changes it has made. You can also hold down Shift to orphan a file, instead of adopting it. This is useful if you know that the file has incorrect codes but that the correct ones aren't in Internet Config.

Shredder Widget 1.2.1
Shredder Widget - digital document shredder right in your Dashboard more>> Shredder Widget - digital document shredder right in your Dashboard
Shredder Widget will give you the convenience and security of a digital document shredder right in your Dashboard; even better, its 100% silent and doesnt leave shredded bits about for you to clean up later. Its variable shred levels give you just the amount of protection you need.
Low: Bypass the trash can. Though this isnt as secure a deletion of your files, it is a quick way to get rid of those files you know you dont need, leaving the trash can for those things you just might want to dig out later.
Medium: Secure erase. This mode overwrites your shredded documents with a US Department of Defence compliant 7 pass procedure.
High: Virtual Paper Pulp. Use this setting for only the most sensetive files. Though it might be slow, the 35 pass Gutmann algorithm will ensure that no data from these files is ever recovered.
The digital document shredder is everything you need to feel secure while sitting in front of your Mac. And, with the upcoming release of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard with Time Machine, this widget will step up to the task of making sure that not even travel backward through time can recover the data you want to permanently remove from your system.
Be careful, though: shredding is total and permanent, and Interdimension Media assumes no responsibility for any loss of data that you may incur through its use (thats the point, though, right?). Just watch out; the desire to round up some digital scraps of paper just for the satisfaction of watching them shred to bits may overtake you.
To shred a document, click and drag a file from the Finder. Then use a hotkey (F12 by default) to call up Dashboard, keeping the document in hand. Drop it on the shredder to permanently erase it from your system.
Enhancements
- Leopard compatibility
- Cycle shred level while dragging (hover over indicator light)
- Cycle shred level with spacebar
- Now shreds documents with foreign characters in filename
- Smoother animation
File Vaporizer 0.5b
File Vaporizer - Securely delete files from your HD more>>
The deal is that FileVaporizer is free. It was a fun little app to write, and it serves a function. There are other apps out there that do basically the same thing.
Were not going to lie to you. But are they free? So what does File Vaporizer do, exactly? See, when you trash a file and erase it from your computer, it really doesnt erase the file. What happens is the space that that file occupies is flagged as blank space.
Thats all. No actual erasing happens. Eventually you may add some files to your hard drive and that will write over the file you erased. However it may not write over that files space for quite a while, and even then it may only partially write over it.
There exist programs that can un-erase the files on your hard drive, and they can be used to retrieve sensitive information from you computer which you thought you deleted!
What FileVaporizer does to files which you wish to erase is to first write over them with random data and then delete them, thus making them unrecoverable. Pretty simple.
We hope to release better versions in the future with more features (drag-n-drop, internet cache delete, etc.), but until then you get this version for free. What would be really excellent is if you would write to us and give us suggestions on future functionality you would like to see.
