Free r w r o 1.0 software for mac

r/w-r/o is a small AppleScript which flips the type setting of SimpleText files to/from editable/read only. Just drop the file on this little applet and the type code is flipped.

Completly freeware for non-commercial use.

Whats it for?
As you begin to use your IMS computers you will probably want to transfer documents created on your Macintosh to your IMS network folder. If youre a true Macintosh user this will make you sad. And it probably means you have a whole bunch of documents you created in AppleWorks. Now you could spend about $40 and get AppleWorks for Windoze. Or you could open each of your AppleWorks documents and then Save As a Word or Excel document. Or you can use this application to convert all of your AppleWorks documents to Word and Excel for you. This only works with text documents, any graphics used in your AppleWorks documents may not convert properly.
How does it work?
Magic of course! Just double-click the cute icon and follow the instructions. It will ask you to select the folder that contains the AppleWorks files you want to convert. Once you make that selection, sit back and watch it work.

It auto-magically checks the file type and converts it to either Word or Excel. Because some operating systems cant handle file names longer than 31 characters, it will also truncate the file name to 27 characters and add the correct three-letter extension, the dot makes it 31.

If the new 31 character file name is already used a dialog box will appear asking you to use a different name. If the name you type in here is already in use then the operation will stop and you will have to check your files and try again with any files that were not already converted.

Is it Safe?
Sheesh! How can you ask such a thing! Of course it is! Its been tested rigorously, well okay so I started writing it yesterday and tested it today and made some changes and tested it again. It worked for me, so I think it is safe to share with you. It actually makes a copy of all of your files in new folders named "Converted Word Docs" and "Converted Spreadsheets" inside the folder you selected at the start. It then converts the copies. But if you want to be really safe, make a backup of your files before using this fun tool.

Wipe-O-Mat removes selected tracks of playlists or complete playlists AND their corresponding tracks in the iTunes 2 library playlist.
Wipe-O-Mat will NOT delete the tracks on your hard drive.

Using Wipe-O-Mat is very easy and much self-explaining. The dialogs will guide you thorugh the process. Just doubleclick on the program icon and follow the instructions.

b/w colorizer is a general effects plug that lets you convert your clip to "black-and-any-color".

You set a color (e.g. yellow), and the plug will convert your clip to a monochrome yellow clip (i.e. it uses only shades of yellow). think sepia tone effect, except you get to pick the color tone.

b/w gradual is an iMovie plug-in that converts your clip to black-and-any-color. You can set a color (e.g. yellow), and the plug will convert your clip to a monochrome yellow clip (i.e. it uses only shades of yellow).

b/w gradual is a tool that creates a nice and interesting effect - think sepia tone effect, except you get to pick the color tone.

area of effect :
define the area of the clip you want to be affected by the plug-in. all other parts or the clip remain untouched.

b/w
this determines how much the colors should fade towards black/white.

Rate-O-Matic is a small AppleScript that enables you to rate the currently playing iTunes track.

Run this script while the song you want to rate is playing, and you will be prompted to enter your rating, zero to five.

This is the first script I have written, and it is fairly rudimentary and far from perfect, but it works quite well.
