Musical Assistant 1.0
Musical Assistant - learn about musical theory or chord composition more>>
As the engineer do you sometimes need reminding which notes belong to a certain musical scale? Maybe you just want to prove to a certain smug musician that they are not the only one who knows the composition of a "A# minor major 7th add 13" chord...
Choose a root note, then a chord type or scale, and the notes that belong to the selected item will be represented on the keyboard below in a clean and clear manner.
The chord compositions are shown in a way that allows them to be easily read and understood. As a result the voicing of some chords will not be the most logical or pleasant sounding.
InfoItems 1.1
InfoItems - Explore properties of files, folders, apps more>>
Enhancements:
- Added the commands Add Item and Add Invisible Items from file menu.
- Addes some new properties like URL, hex value of type and creator, comment.
- Window can be resized.
- Added new icon.
- Minor changes to interface.
Calibre 0.6.15
Calibre is a one stop solution to your e-book needs. It is free, open source and cross-platform in design more>>
Calibre 0.6.15 brings you an effective solution to your e-book needs. It is free, open source and cross-platform in design. Calibre is meant to be a complete e-library solution and thus includes library management, format conversion, news feeds to e-book conversion, as well as e-book reader sync features and an integrated e-book viewer.
Major Features:
- Library Management:
- calibre is primarily a ebook cataloging program. It manages your ebook collection for you. It is designed around the concept of the logical book, i.e. a single entry in the database that may correspond to ebooks in several formats.
- calibre support sorting the books in its database by:
-
- Title
- Author
- Date
- Publisher
- Rating
- Size (Max size of all formats)
- Series
- It also supports extra metadata fields that can be searched on:
-
- Comments: A general purpose field that can be used to describe the book, add notes on it, etc.
- Tags: A flexible system to categorize books. You can tag any book with any custom tag to indicate subject, read status, category, etc.
- The database view also supports filtering by searching on the metadata. You can perform advanced searching on individual metadata fields by clicking the advanced search button to the left of the search bar.
- You can export subsets of the books in your collection by using the Save to disk button.
- You can fetch metadata from the internet for a book based on its ISBN number or its title/author, instead of manually entering the metadata. You can also fetch a cover image based on the ISBN number.
- Format Conversion: calibre supports conversion from a dozen different ebook formats to LRF and EPUB. An graphical interface to the conversion software can be accessed by clicking the "Convert E-books" button. The commandline access is via the command any2lrf and any2epub. The full list of supported formats. The conversion is very powerful and supports advanced typesetting features like tables, dropcaps, inline images, embedded fonts, etc.
- Syncing to E-reader Devices: calibre has a modular device driver design that makes adding support for different e-reader devices easy. At the moment, it has support for the SONY PRS 500/505/700, Cybook Gen 3, Amazon Kindle (1 and 2) and the iPhone (with the stanza reader software). Syncing supports updating metadata on the device from metadata in the library and the creation of collections on the device based on the tags defined in the library view. If an book has more than one format available, calibre automatically chooses the best format when uploading to the device.
- Fetching News: calibre can automatically fetch news from a number of websites/RSS feeds, format the news into a ebook and upload to a connected device. At the moment there is support for generating LRF/EPUB ebooks. The ebooks include the *full* versions of the articles, not just the summaries. Supported news sites include:
- Newsweek
- New York Times
- The BBC
- The Economist
- The Wall Street Journal
- ESPN
- Viewing E-books: calibre has a built-in ebook viewer that can display all the major ebook formats.
- Content server: calibre has a builtin web server that gives allows you to access your ebook collection using a simple browser from any computer anywhere in the world. It can also email your books and downloaded news to you automatically.
- Fix #3655 (Fixed recipe for Honolulu Advertiser)
- Fix #3470 (Los Angeles Times recipe does not work for articles with more than one page)
- Fix #3620 (Inappropriate spaces before tags in HTML (or ePub) > TXT conversion)
- Show 'Starting conversion' message when the conversions are actually about to start rather then when the convert dialog is opened
- Welcome Wizard: Don't leave behind an empty 'Calibre Library' directory if the user chooses another location ...

Ogg Vorbis r45
Ogg Vorbis - Allows you to play Ogg Vorbis music with iTunes more>>
This will allow you to play Ogg Vorbis music with iTunes.
Enhancements:
- Metadata. Now uses a (potentially) user-configurable property-list file (MetaDataConfig.plist). Seems to work in QT Player. iTunes ignores some of the tags, such as track number, or the title (!!), but at least it uses album and artist names. (Whats interesting, iTunes doesnt seem to use title metadata at all for more QT imported file formats than just Ogg/Vorbis! Try adding some trailer from official Apple trailers page to your iTunes library. So, It does appear to be iTunes problem/feature.)
- Seeking, pausing, skipping. Some fixes regarding interruptions, dropped pages and seeking in general. There are, sometimes, audible artifacts on the boundaries of the non-consecutive packets, which is to be expected. However, it doesnt happen with the mp3 files... Or does it? Well, at least seeking now doesnt stop playback, as could happen with the previous version.
- Fixed some small bugs and memory leaks.
- Streaming. I did try. ;) In QuickTime Player, the component will usually download ogg pages, and put them into QT tracks, but if the file size is unspecified (as is the case with streaming) it will not play anyway. Importer works properly, and decoder is being set-up, but then QT Player just doesnt ask for decoded samples. And you usually cant even save the stream. If you manage to save, though, you can play the file. If the file contains multiple (chained) logical ogg/vorbis streams - the component, at the moment, inserts them all at time 0. So you can save time listening to all the tracks at once. :D Well, this is one of the many things to work on...
- Streaming in iTunes. Still doesnt work. It doesnt try to use the codec, at all. Just displays the stream as mpeg audio and apparently fails do decode it as such.
- In my experience, iTunes always imports ogg files synchronously, and sometimes does it multiple times per one file (!?). This means there will be slight delay before playback of each file, while iTunes imports the file. I suppose it may mean an even less slight delay on a non-local storage media. Well...
- Equaliser and visualisation in iTunes. Im not sure its not only me, but none of the non-iTunes formats (so, all the external QT-imported file formats) seems to work with equaliser nor visualisation in iTunes on my machine. On the other hand, QT Player has no problems with displaying real-time (well, slightly less real while importing) frequency levels during playback...
Lightning Brain TextStich for InDesign 1.0.1
Lightning Brain TextStich for InDesign - Helps you with threading of text frames in InDesign CS, CS2 or CS3 more>>
There are three main functions: auto-stitch, quick stitch and auto-unstitch. It is highly recommended to assign some keyboard shortcuts to the TextStitch menu items if you intend to use these functions often (using Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts... ).
- Auto-Stitch
Auto-stitch will automatically thread all unthreaded text frames it finds in a logical order (roughly left-right, top-down, page order). It will ignore non-empty text frames, or frames that have already been threaded. When frames are positioned in irregular positions, itll try to guess a logical order.
This function can be performed either on the current spread, or throughout the complete document; there is a configuration dialog under the API - Text Stitch - Configure... menu item which allows you to choose between these two options.
- Quick Stitch
The second function, quick stitch, allows you to stitch multiple text frames together with just a single click per frame.
- Auto-Unstitch
Auto-unstitch, the third function, will break all text threads on the current spread or in the current document - all stories will bunch up in the first frame of each story thread. Be careful with this as it will also remove all threads you might have assigned manually.

iDecide - Find the most rational decision you need by predicting which option you should choose more>>
This will help you find the most rational decision you need by predicting which option you should choose.
iDecide will ask you to questions like how much its worth for you and how much it hurts if you fail. Then it computes what is expected to give the most happiness.
The program uses the Expected-utility theory (Baron, 1994) to compute which choices are expected to give you most utility. If you always use this method to make your choices youll be statistically happiest. In order for it to work you must have different options or goals that you can estimate how easy they are to accomplish, how much happiness theyll give you and how much it hurts if you fail. This program will do the rest for you.

BlitzMax IDE 2.00 Beta 6 / 1.15
Integrated Development Environment for the programming language BlitzMax more>> Integrated Development Environment for the programming language BlitzMax
BlitzMax IDE is an Integrated Development Environment for the programming language BlitzMax including a program editor, debugger interface and help system.
This is the Community Edition of the BlitzMax IDE and it is based on the official IDE supplied with BlitzMax by Blitz Research Limited (BRL).BlitzMax IDE is entirely supported by the BlitzMax community.
Main features:
- Auto-complete: Whilst coding, you can press Control-Space at any time to auto-complete the current command. If there are several possible choices, a dropdown list is shown, otherwise the word is completed for you. At present, this only works on BlitzMax keywords.
- Auto-Tidy: This optional feature will try to make the code you write easier to read by ensuring consistent use fo whitespace. For example, spaces are added around commas. This behaviour can be turned off in the IDE options.
- Block comment / uncomment: An additional item is now available on the context menu within the editor, allowing you to comment or uncomment a section of code.
- Code Tree: The code tree has been improved signficantly to provide easy access to all of your code elements.
- To-Do List: Any line of code starting with TODO: , FIX: or BUG: will automatically be listed in the To-Do list. Double clicking on the item in the list will take you back to that line of code. This enables you to simply and easily mark areas of code that you need to come back to.
- Bookmarks: Like the todo list, you can add bookmarks to your code using MARK:, or using the context menu. You can easily move between bookmarks using the context menu or shortcut keys. Bookmarks are also listed in the To-Do List.
- Keyboard Shortcuts: A number of keyboard shortcuts have been added to improve your productivity. The Home key will now take you the first character on the line; press it again to go to the beginning of the line. Also, Shift+Home now works correctly for selecting text. The Back and Forward arrows now work within the editor screens. If you have used any of the code navigation aids (Code tree, To-Do list, bookmarks, etc), the arrows will now move you around between recently visited sections fo code.
- Debugging: When debugging, the CE IDE shows a green Continue button as well as a red Stop button, allowing you to re-start your program after it has been stopped.
- Modules: When synchronising modules, all known alternative modules are listed for optional synchronisation.
- Improved Help: The existing help documentation provided with BlitzMax for modules has been structured into logical groups. This enables new and experienced users alike to navigate quickly and easily through the BlitzMax commandset.
System requirements:
-
Enhancements
Added:
- Support for threaded build mode (thanks grable)
- Splash screen (copied and tweaked from official IDE)
- Test Harness to automatically test key elements of CE IDE before each release
Fixed:

Spotlaser 1.3.4
Spotlaser is considered as a simple as well as efficient program for you to enjoy. more>>
Spotlaser 1.3.4 is considered as a simple as well as efficient program for you to enjoy.
Every file on your computer has name, location, date and contact information, but it's not up to you to remember all this, that's what computers are for! With hard drives getting bigger every year, more and more files are saved every day.
But where did you save them? Can you get to them easily? If you're not careful in saving your files where you know you'll find them, you could have a hard time re- trieving them. You may know part or all of a file's name, information that a file contains, or other related information about a file. But how do you use this information to your advantage?
The in-built search functions of Mac OS X (Spotlight) give you the capability to find files, but without the flexibility and ease you may want. That's where Spotlaser comes in. Spotlaser builds upon Spotlights features to enable you to get results that are more focused and relevant to your requirements.
Major Features:
- Spotlaser Search Bar: The Spotlaser search bar at the top of the Spotlaser window provides the ability to perform a quick filename-only search, much like the way searches worked in previous versions (pre 10.4) of Mac OS X. This enables you to find that file without sorting through all the extra files that a normal Spotlight search would throw at you. Use the wildcard character * if you don't know the exact name of the file you're after.
- What... Where... When... Who...By answering any one or more of these these four simple questions, you can find that file lurking on your over-crowded hard drive. After entering your required information, press the Spotlaser button on the bottom of the Spotlaser window and a new smart folder (named "Spotlaser Search Results") will be opened in the Finder. If you have selected the "Save Search Results" checkbox, a save sheet will ask for a name and location to save the Smart Folder.
- What... File name, contents or metadata searches: Search for a file by name, content, metadata, or any combination of the three. By searching for all the words (logical AND), any of the words (logical OR), without the words (logical NOT) or even the exact phrase, you can find that file you want or need. Use as many search terms as you please, separated by spaces. Wildcard searches are possible by using the * character anywhere in your search terms. Select the "Word based" check box to perform "smart word searches". Word based searches are an alternative to using the wildcard character * in your searches. Word based searches detect spaces and changes from lowercase letters to uppercase letters. Select the type of file you're looking for from the File Type menu. Don't know the exact size of the file you're looking for? Optionally enter a size value and you can find files that are smaller, bigger or approximately the size you want, by way of Spotlaser's "fuzzy" search method.
- Where... Location searches: Use the quick-select buttons to search all connected drives, your boot drive or your home folder, or use the Open.. button to pick somewhere more specific. Focus your search however you please.
- When... Date searches: When was this file created, last modified or last opened? Today, yesterday, this week, in the last 42 days, whenever. You can search by date by selecting an exact date, or a range of dates by selecting starting and ending dates from the calendar date picker, selecting from a list of time frames, or in the past X number of days, weeks, months or years.
- Who... Contact searches: Whose name is attached to this file? Search by Author, Composer, Contact, Contributor, Lyricist, Publisher or Recipient if your file contains this information in it's metadata.
Enhancements:
- For the 64bit version for use on Snow Leopard (10.6) please download Spotlaser 1.3.3 or visit frovil.com for more info.
- Fixed: Crash on load on Mac OS X 10.4 systems.
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later
