UUIDLib 1.0b3 is a useful and convenient-to-use Macintosh shared library that generates Universal Unique Identifiers (UUID). A UUID is a 128-bit value that is guaranteed to be unique. Unique identifiers can be used as unique transaction identifiers or to uniquely identify components in component-based software.
UUIDLib generates UUIDs with an algorithm that uses the Ethernet 'MAC' address built into the computer, along with the current time (in 100ns increments). With version 1.0b3, you can generate UUIDs even without available Ethernet hardware. In that case, a random 48-bit key is generated based on various system parameters, such as the current time, the size of the hard disk, and other reasonably unique parameters.
This release fixes a number of problems with getting the Ethernet MAC address from certain models of Macintosh systems. The complete source kit for the UUIDLib is included, along with documentation and demonstration code.
Requirements: System 7
UUID Generator 1.1
UUID Generator is a Mac OS X application to make the generation of UUIDs. more>>
UUID Generator 1.1 is a Mac OS X application to make the generation of UUIDs. It facilitates creation of UUIDs by your choice of algorithms (time/MAC or pure random), control over the output format (strings, bytes, CFPluginFactoryID), and output location (stdout, Clipboard). UUID generation can also be performed as a system Service, or from the command-line with the included huuidgen command line tool.
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifer), also known as GUID or IID, is a 128-bit value guaranteed to be unique. See Apple's documentation on CFUUID for complete details.
Horror Movies 0.1
Horror Movies - Mac widget that will allow you to watch horror movies in your Dashboard around the clock more>> UUID Generator is a free and simple Mac OS X application for generating UUIDs. It allows you to simply create UUIDs and copy the resulting string into your header and source code files.
While Mac OS X (I believe as of v10.1) includes the command line uuidgen tool, the advantage of UUID Generator is that its a GUI tool, is available as a Service, and outputs the UUID in various formats: as a hyphen-punctuated ASCII string, as the individual bytes, or in a format suitable for use as a #define for a CMPlugInFactoryID. The output is also sent to the applications GUI, to stdout, and/or to the Clipboard. The formats and output locations are configurable via application preferences.
There are further advantages as of UUID Generator 1.1. UUID generation can now be performed by various algorithms: the Apple CFUUID, or the e2fsprogs algorithms, which allow generation by time/Ethernet MAC address or a pure random number. UUID Generator is now a Universal Binary. Offers a cmd-shift-U shortcut to make it even easier to use UUID Generator as a Service within your favorite text editor. And for those that really want a command-line tool, I have created huuidgen which gives you all the power of UUID Generator within a simple drop-in replacement for uuidgen (even the Linux versions with -r|-t switches), and the convenience of a command line tool<<less

Visual Component Framework 0.6.5
Advanced C++ application framework that makes it easy to produce powerful Mac OS X applications in C++ more>> Advanced C++ application framework that makes it easy to produce powerful Mac OS X applications in C++
Visual Component Framework is a based on a thoroughly modern C++ design and has built in support for Rapid Application Development (RAD).
The Visual Component Framework framework is designed to be portable over multiple compilers and platforms, so you dont have to lose all that work that went into writing your app for a single platform!
Main features:>
- Modern C++ design - use of modern C++ techniques like exceptions, templates (where useful), name spaces, and heavy use of the Standard Template Library.
- Advanced RTTI features that allow for such things as dynamic object creation given a registered class name or a registered UUID string that represents the class, dynamic introspection of a given objects class and listing such data as the class name, super class, the properties of the class, member methods, and implemented interfaces.
- Modular - built across several libraries as opposed to one huge monolithic library that then becomes difficult to break apart. This means that while the VCF is incredibly powerful as a framework for writing GUI based applications, if you just want to use the core features, such as threads, file IO, and RTTI you can do so, without having to have dependencies on all the GUI code.
- Easy to use, and powerful event system, suitable for console as well as GUI based applications.
- Support for Thread, Mutexes, Semaphores, Files, Streaming data, error logging, string utility functions, and other basic services. All of this is part of the FoundationKit and has no dependencies on the graphics or UI code.
- Powerful and easy to use graphics classes, plus more advanced support for anti aliased vector graphics through the use the AntiGrain Graphics libraries.
- A simple to use image loading architecture that allows multiple formats to be registered dynamically, for loading up a variety of different graphics formats. On Win32 systems the default image loading support is limited to BMP files, but by using the ImageFormats library (also a part of the VCF) a wide variety of additional image types are also supported. Currently the ImageFormats library uses FreeImage to support a image types such as .TIFF, .TGA, .PSD, .PNG, .PCX, .SGI, .MNG, .RAS, .PBM, .PPM. and many others.
- More advanced classes for customizing the drawing process by extending Stroke and Fill classes.
- A complete set of powerful GUI classes, including a common set of base classes enabling advanced custom control creation. Some of the control classes include tree controls, list controls, check box and radio controls, push buttons, single line and multi line text controls, and many others.
- A standard set of application classes for things like resources, loading windows or forms dynamically at application startup, saving of application state, a registry class for common storage of system and application information.
- Other application classes include an Undo/Redo architecture based on commands that allows for undoing and redoing commands as well as notifying other objects of the events.
- GUI controls that support both alignment and anchoring. Any control may be aligned to the top, bottom, left or right of its parent container control. Alternately controls may use their anchoring properties to anchor themselves to the left, right, top and/or bottom sides of their parent container control. In addition to control alignment, it is possible to write custom layout containers and assign them to a control to customize layout logic.
- The ApplicationKit provides a set of Model and View classes for using in MVC patterns. A series of models like the ListModel, TreeModel, and TextModel are used in controls to provide separation of the data from the UI presentation code. Because a View can be dynamically attached to a Control at runtime, it will be possible to develop "themes" in the future.
- Because of the RTTI features and the event handlers, the VCF easily supports component programming with in IDE that allow for visual development.
- The VCF tries to be as flexible as possible, allowing you to use the parts you want, and allowing for inter-operability with other frameworks. Thus VCF controls can be used inside of an MFC application if you like, or only use the graphics module for enhanced graphics features.
- No need of special preprocessor tools - if you have a reasonably complete C++ compiler then youre all set to go.
- The ability to access the low level handles for most native objects. For example, by accessing the Threads peer class, you can get a handle to the native thread handle itself. For a control, you can access the controls peer and get a handle id that represents the windowing systems native handle for a window/widget. This allows you to use platform specific calls when necessary.
Enhancements:
- This is the very first src release of the Mac OS X port of the VCF. It should build and run some of the examples, but is obviously very much still a work in progress.

KeePassX 0.2.2
KeePassX - secure personal data management tool more>>
KeePassX saves many different information e.g. user names, passwords, urls, attachemts and comments in one single database. For a better management user-defined titles and icons can be specified for each single entry.
Furthermore the entries are sorted in groups, which are customizable as well. The integrated search function allows to search in a single group or the complete database.
KeePassX offers a little utility for secure password generation. The password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use. Especially someone who generates passwords frequently will appreciate this feature.
The complete database is always encrypted either with AES (alias Rijndael) or Twofish encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Therefore the saved information can be considered as quite safe. KeePassX uses a database format that is compatibel with KeePass Password Safe. This makes the use of that application even more favourable.
Originally KeePassX was called KeePass/L for Linux since it was a port of Windows password manager Keepass Password Safe.
After KeePass/L became a cross platform application the name was not appropriate anymore and therefore, on 22 March 2006 it has been changed.
Main features:
- Extensive management- title for each entry for its better identification
- possibility to determine different expiration dates
- insertion of attachments
- user-defined symbols for groups and entries
- fast entry dublication
- sorting entries in groups
- Search function
- search either in specific groups or in complete database
- Autofill (experimental)
- Database security
- access to the KeePassX database is granted either with a password, a key-file (e.g. a CD or a memory-stick) or even both.
- Automatic generation of secure passwords
- extremly customizable password generator for fast and easy creation of secure passwords
- Precaution features- quality indicator for chosen passwords- hiding all passwords behind asterisks
- Encryption- either the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or the Twofish algorithm are used
- encryption of the database in 256 bit sized increments
- Import and export of entries
- import from PwManager (*.pwm) and KWallet (*.xml) files- export as textfile (*.txt)
- Operating system independent
- KeePassX is cross platform, so are the databases, as well
- Open Source- source code is open for anyone
- KeePassX is freeware
Enhancements:
- fixed crash when parsing config file under Win32
- fixed loss of entry icons when saving a database which was not created with KeePassX (no KPX_CUSTOM_ICONS metastream)
- introduces new metastream format for custom icons
- removed all old Qt3 support dependecies
- QtNetwork and QtSql are not longer requiered (when using Qt 4.1.3 or later)
- implemented correct UUID management for entries
- added delay of 0.3s before performing auto-type
- metastreams now get valid group IDs (KeePass/Win compatibility)
- fixed drawing errors when performing drag and drop operations in group view
- when there is no translation installed for the systems country preference but one for the same language the program will use it now
- when canceling the file dialog for the opening of an existing database a already openend database will not longer be closed
- same for the creation of a new database
- alpha blending for banner icons
- new standard banner icon
- MacOS packages: all Qt libraries are now included in the application bundle (extra installation is not longer necessary)
