FileSpot 2.0b3
FileSpot allows you to create more powerful searches than is possible using the basic Spotlight interface more>>
FileSpot is created not just as a searching tool, but as a utility that keeps recently used documents and applications right at your fingertips. All searches in FileSpot are automatically sorted according to when each items was most recently modified, opened, or created, which means that items that you have worked on recently will be right at the top of the search results. As files are modified, opened, or created, they bubble to the top of the list, keeping them easily accessible.
Main features:
Advanced Query Creation
- FileSpot uses the familiar iTunes or Finder query creation interface metaphor to allow you to create complex queries. ANDs, ORs, All, Anys, Nones and Nots - We have them. How about searching over the advanced meta-data of your filesystem? Type, Tags, Size, Dates Last opened. We do that too. Combine, Mix and match, exclude, and create any complex query with FileSpot. Try doing that in Spotlight!
Precise Matching
- FileSpot gives you complete control over what is searched. Do you want to match your query to just the file name, content, or spotlight comments? Do you want to only find files that contain, but do not start or end with your word? FileSpot makes it easy to define exactly what you want.
Tagging
- Not all files have all the info you want already - so why not add it yourself? FileSpot makes it easy to tag and label your files, using spotlight comments and finder labels. FileSpot tags are compatible with other Mac OS X 3rd-party tagging software.
Custom Columns
- Every file type has its own set of metadata, so why force the same basic columns on all of your files? In FileSpot, any metadata attribute can be made into a column. Want to sort by image width? MP3 tags? You can.
Details, Details, Details.
- The basic Spotlight interface makes you jump through hoops to view details about a file. In FileSpot, the gory details are only a click away.
Preview
- Not only can you see details, but for most common file types, FileSpot can show you a preview as well. Talk about finding your information fast.
Save your searches
- Once you have your perfect search created, save it. FileSpot comes pre-setup with 10 popular searches to start you off.
Be Exclusive
- Dont want to find too many files? Only want to search in certain directories? FileSpot makes it easy to be exclusive with how many results you receive, and where your results come from.
Features for the techie inside of you
- Need the HFS path? Want to copy or move files directly from the interface? Need to edit the spotlight comments by hand? Need to create aliases, or run services on a file? Through contextual menus, FileSpot makes it easy to do the techie things before and more.
Search within a search
- If your saved search is still too broad, FileSpot makes it easy to quickly drill down and search within a search. Not your fancy? FileSpot can jump-to entries instead.

iDefrag 1.6.9
Every computer user has noticed it; over time, your system slows down. more>> Every computer user has noticed it; over time, your system slows down.
Every computer user has noticed it; over time, your system slows down. This is particularly true in these days of constant security updates as replacing operating system components not only increases the potential for file fragmentation, but also creates a more insidious problem over time, the operating system itself ends up scattered all over your disk.
This, of course, doesnt show up as fragmentation after all, the files themselves are probably contiguous but nevertheless, it takes your machine longer to start up, it takes programs longer to start, and above all, it takes longer to get your work done.
iDefrag defragments and optimizes your disk for improved performance.
Add in the size of some of the files in common use today, especially music, video, graphics and computer games, and even the best filesystem has trouble keeping things contiguous.
Some people say that HFS+ is so good that you dont need to defragment. In a way, theyre right: HFS+ is pretty good at keeping small to medium sized files from getting fragmented it isnt particular good, however, at keeping large files or free space from fragmenting, a particular problem on the Mac because the swapfile must be contiguous on the disk, so you can actually run out of virtual memory long before you run out of disk space if your free space is fragmented.
Another objection, this time raised by Apple, is that existing defragmentation tools may actually slow your machine down by moving files into or out of the "Hot Band", defeating Panthers Adaptive Hot File Clustering code. As far as we know, iDefrag is the first defragmentation tool for the Mac that fully supports the Hot Zone, guaranteeing that this is not a problem.
Even if you arent interested in defragmenting your hard disk, if you produce products on CD-ROM disks, iDefrag will be of use. Seek times on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM disks are many times slower than those of hard disk mechanisms, so fragmentation really hits performance, in some cases adding many minutes to read times. iDefrag can defragment disk images before they are burnt onto CD or DVD-ROM, optimizing access time and significantly reducing install or read times.
And, unlike other products, iDefrag provides a wealth of information about your files, so you can see which ones are most fragmented and even look where they are on the disk. The screenshots on this page are from a perfectly normal 120GB hard disk, installed in a PowerMac G4 that is used for software development, wordprocessing and other everyday tasks (writing this web page, for instance).
Look how fragmented it has become; most of that is actually down to one or two large files, like /usr/bin/emacs, shown on the right, with 96 fragments but there are a substantial number of less fragmented files, over 3,000 in fact.
Main features:
- Full support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDefrag is compatible with the latest versions of Mac OS X, and with the very latest hardware from Apple.
- Works with Time Machine
iDefrag is safe to use on Time Machine back-up volumes if you so wish.
- Native support for journaled filesystems
iDefrag knows about the journal and does the right thing automatically. No need to turn journaling off to defragment or optimize your disk.
- Support for case-sensitive HFS+
Using case-sensitive HFS+ for compatibility with legacy UNIX software? No problem. iDefrag knows what to do.
- Supports the Hot Zone
Mac OS X is smart about the files you use the most. It moves them to an area on the disk called the Hot Zone, for improved access times. Unlike older defragmentation tools, iDefrag understands the Hot Zone, and knows which files should be there.
- Thermal Monitoring
iDefrag watches the temperature of your disk while defragmenting. If things are getting a little toasty, iDefrag will wait for the disk to cool down before continuing.
- Four powerful defragmentation algorithms
Optimize or compact your disk as required. Includes a sophisticated programmable optimization engine-if youre an advanced user, you can rearrange the contents of your disk how you want.
- Defragment while the disk is in use
iDefrag can perform simple defragmentation while the disk is still in use. Good for situations where you dont need the full power of the optimizer, but have a few fragmented files you want to sort out.
- Per-block and accurate whole-disk display
See the individual blocks used by your files, watch iDefrag move them around in real time, and get an at-a-glance overview of the state of your disk.
- AppleScript and Automator support
iDefrag includes extensive AppleScript support and comes with an Automator action to help Automator users script defragmentation without needing to learn AppleScript.
System requirements:
- 500MHz PowerPC G3 or better.
- 512MB RAM.
Version restrictions:
- Demo version will not defrag disks over 100MB in size.
Enhancements
- Fixed a problem introduced in 1.6.8 where iDefrag was unable to move hard link folder files in Quick (on-line) mode.
- Added compatibility for PGP whole disk encryption.
- Updated the error messages for the on-line defrag routine.
- Prevent iDefrag from appearing to hang on completion when DNS is misconfigured (obviously its better to fix your DNS settings...).

Enhancements:
- Recompiled Impression using Xcode 2.2.1, which reportedly solves a few major issues only present on the Intel Mac platform.

Ive currently no system on which to test the Intel aspects of the fat binary, though the PowerPC aspects are fully tested and supported (as theyve always been). Until a kind soul provides a Intel-based Mac for my development and testing use, Impressions backing for Intel-based Macs will remain untested (and consequently unsupported).

Xslimmer 1.7.4.1
Xslimmer reduces the disk space taken up by Mac OS X applications removing localizations you dont need, and preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version of the code in Universal Binaries more>>
Xslimmer 1.7.4.1 brings you a powerful tool to reduce the disk space taken up by Mac OS X applications removing localizations you don't need, and preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version of the code in Universal Binaries.
Xslimmer determines which code your machine needs and removes the rest. This is achieved by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.
This is done in a safely way backing up your apps before slimming, downloading a "blacklist" of apps that check themselves, or allowing you to exclude any application, folder or path. Xslimmer is compatible with Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger and Panther.
Major Features:
- Great savings:
- GarageBand 5.0.2, from 537Mb to 156Mb (71%)
- Google Earth 5, from 84.1Mb to 48.5Mb (42%)

- The Magic of the Genie: MagicUse the familiar drag & drop interface to add the apps you want to slim, or have the Genie find all the apps in your system for you - you may be surprised how many are installed! All found apps will be added as if you had dragged them in, so you can review them before slimming.
- Automated Blacklist: BlacklistTo avoid unnecessary headaches Xslimmer uses a downloadable blacklist, which tracks apps that do not allow themselves to be modified - to prevent piracy, usually. Blacklisted apps will be ignored, and the list will be automatically updated as new troublesome apps are discovered.
- Backup and Restore: Backup and RestoreHave Xslimmer save a copy of your originals for you, and let it delete old backups periodically so that you don't have to remember about them. Restore your app quickly if you suspect it does not work correctly after being slimmed down.
- Slim Install: Slim InstallTrying out lots of new apps? Save time, space and simplify your workflow having Xslimmer install your apps already stripped of all the unnecessary bloat. Simply drop the app from your .dmg image to Xslimmer's icon to have it slimmed down and installed into your Applications folder.
- History Log: HistoryKnow what you did, when and how much you saved for every application you slimmed down.
- Detailed Info: InfoDisplay extra info before slimming your apps, to learn all details about how Xslimmer will modify your application. Gain confidence by being warned in advance about side-effects, such as the need to reauthorize access to the Keychain.
- Feel the Need for Speed: Fast!Have your apps load in less time by reducing their code size! Xslimmer will preserve the binary version that is most suitable for your computer, therefore Mac OS X will not have to check what version to run every time you launch an app.
- Reliability: ReliableBackups, downloadable blacklist, user-configurable paths to exclude, detailed info and total control of the process: Xslimmer adopts every measure to gain your trust - and facilitate recovery in case something does go wrong.
- Extreme compatibility: PantherUse Xslimmer even in older computers, where disk space is absolutely precious! Xslimmer is compatible all the way from Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) through 10.4.x (Tiger) and 10.5.x (Leopard) to 10.6.x (Snow Leopard).
Enhancements:
- Deals better with remote or non-HFS volumes used for backup purposes.
