One for hardware information and the second to store whatever images you choose to represent a given piece of hardware, (i.e. Laptops, CPUs, Modems, etc.) Printing reports has not yet been implemented in this version as I always find my exported data more useful than a printed report from FMPro.

Babya E-Type 3.0
Babya E-Type is a word processor more>>
You can export documents to PDF natively, without the need for Adobe Acrobat. Also, Microsoft Word documents can be easily imported, edited and saved back to Word or Word XML formats.
Enhancements:
- Babya E-Type is a universal binary-meaning that it be can be run on both PowerPC & Intel based Macs. Babya E-Type now uses new NSError and NSAlert facilities to put up better error messages on failed file system operations.
- Babya E-Type now has a preference to enable the use of the new Cocoa feature to auto-number printed pages. Although the feature enables sophisticated customization of the headers and footers by the application, Babya E-Type just uses the default format.
- The new "Document Properties" panel enables setting properties such as author, company, comment, etc. The fields in the panel are hooked up to the document via bindings, and are imported by the Spotlight text importer for easy searching. The preferences panel has fields where you can specify default values for properties (for which default values are appropriate).
- Babya E-Type can now save WordML, HTML, and Safari WebArchive documents. In the preferences panel you can specify a number of options for controlling the type of HTML that is generated.
- Babya E-Type has a few menu items to support new text system features such as tables, lists, and link editing panel. Other than the new menu items, these features are pretty much free for Babya E-Type . Be sure to read about new text features in the AppKit release notes.
- The new Insert submenu under the Edit menu enables inserting line break, paragraph break, and page break. Note that the default line break you get by hitting the Return key is actually paragraph break; line break is used to break lines without starting a new paragraph.
- Undo can now be used to undo changes across a save. Note that on save, Babya E-Type now calls the new NSTextView method, breakUndoCoalescing, in order to let the text system know that it shouldnt coalesce across a save.
- Babya E-Type can now process Finder or scripting print requests much better.
- When multiple documents are opened simultaneously, Babya E-Type now makes the first one key, and opens others behind this first document. For large numbers of files, this change reduces the overall time before the application is responsive. In addition, in these cases Babya E-Type now does foreground (that is, uninterruptible) text layout only for the front-most document. This also helps greatly improve the time to make the app responsive when the files are large.
- Babya E-Type now uses -[NSParagraphStyle defaultTabInterval] to manage tab stops in plain text documents, rather than having to fix up tab stops after every change. This change removes a good number of lines, including the routine fixUpTabsInRange: and the need to observe textStorageDidProcessEditing:.
- If users default encoding choice and their defaultCStringEncoding dont work for a plain document, then try Unicode, assuming its in their encodings list.
- When an RTF document becomes RTFD, the user now has the option to save the document with the same name (this happens by saving a .rtfd file and thrashing the .rtf).
- NSSavePanels setAllowsOtherFileTypes: method is now used in the plain text case, to use a ".txt" extension unless the user specifies otherwise.
- Checkbox in the plain text save panel now allows the user the control the ".txt" extension.
- The preferences panel has been redesigned. And although it is a good candidate for using NSUserDefaultsController and bindings, it doesnt yet. It should.
- The Cocoa text system now lets you create multiple, non-contiguous selections when editing text. Option-drag will let you select text in a rectangular area; command-click will let you add new selections to an existing selection. You can then copy the contents of these multiple selected regions as if they were one. In addition, you can select all occurrences of a word in the Find panel by holding down control when clicking "Replace All" (this exposes the "Select All" command). Finally, you can use the Styles panel to find all text which is of a given style.
Enhancements:
- First Mac version
- Native import, editing & export of Microsoft Word documents.
