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...).

Xslimmer 1.6.5
Xslimmer is created as an application for reducing 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 is a new, user-friendly way to size down your Mac OS X apps, removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, and deleting the localizations you don't need.
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.
- Remove unnecessary code from fat 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.
- Strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.
Major Features:
- Great savings
- 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.
- 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.
- Report it
- ReportWill you be so unlucky to slim down an application that will not behave correctly afterwards? Report the problem from within Xslimmer itself, and add the offending app to the blacklist after verification.
- Total Control
- Total ControlSlim what you want, the way you want it. Take out languages, architectures or both. Select which languages to keep, and let Xslimmer take care of the rest. Checkout Xslimmer's extensive preferences and configure its behavior the way you like it.
- 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.
- History Log
- HistoryKnow what you did, when and how much you saved for every application you slimmed down, and if something went wrong with one of those apps, you can restore the situation to its original state and report the app to us, so we can add it to the blacklist!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Panther compatibility
Enhancements:
- Adds the ability to slim some recent 64bit/32bit applications that target both Leopard and Snow Leopard systems.This increases compatibility with both versions of Mac OS X and ensures Xslimmer remains fully prepared for the upcoming release of Snow Leopard. Xslimmer 1.6.5 is strongly recommended for all users running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5).
- New features
-
- Xslimmer recognizes and correctly deals with 64bit/32bit applications produced with recent versions of Xcode.
- Although Xslimmer has handled mixed binaries for a long time, the way those apps are packaged and registered in the system is being fine-tuned in preparation for the release of Snow Leopard by Apple.
- Recent, popular apps that are already being packaged to target both Leopard and Snow Leopard systems could not be slimmed properly with previous versios of Xslimmer. This update brings support for the new packaging attributes, and ensures compatibility with Leopard and the current beta/development versions of Snow Leopard.
- Some of the most popular applications that can now be reliably slimmed again include Tweetie for Mac, the most recent version of AirPort Utility, and others.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) through 10.4.x (Tiger) to 10.5.x (Leopard).
TabletDraw 1.6.5
Finally, a drawing program for artists! more>> Finally, a drawing program for artists!
Drawing with a tablet has always been a struggle. Typically, drawing programs (like most software) are designed to be used with a mouse.
Tablet support is usually thrown in as an afterthought, under the theory that a pointing device will obey the same principles as a mouse. The result: an experience which only superficially captures the feel of a pen, while ignoring the subtle nuances.
Enter TabletDraw.
Abandoning the traditional mouse-oriented paradigm, TabletDraw is designed from the ground up for use with a drawing tablet - specifically focusing on the realism of the drawing experience.
Instead of setting brush thickness based solely on pen pressure, TabletDraw uses a combination of factors including speed and pen pressure to create a realistic pen-and-paper feel.
The bottom line: If you can draw on a piece of paper, you can draw with TabletDraw.
Curves done right.
One of the biggest differences between drawing with a mouse vs. a tablet is that a mouse is best suited for slow, deliberate curves while a pen lends itself to fast strokes.
Unfortunately, your USB port is not always able to keep up with these fast strokes, leaving the computer to connect the dots.
Most programs do this with straight lines, leaving the user with a jagged approximation instead of a smooth curve. Other programs use smoothing algorithms which ignore fine detail and degrade performance.
TabletDraw uses SwiftCurve technology to accurately and efficiently represent the curves you draw without bringing your hardware to its knees.
Kick the bucket.
The standard coloring method for drawing software has become the paint bucket, a tool which fills any enclosed monotone area with a solid color. And for many applications, the paint bucket does a great job. But when it comes hand-drawn artwork, the paint bucket is simply too inflexible.
Art drawn by hand often lacks specific color boundaries, and even when these boundaries exist, they may not be enclosed by an outline. Worse yet, the paint bucket never seems to get quite close enough to the outline, leaving a white halo between color and line.
TabletDraw makes coloring easy and natural by tossing out the paint bucket in favor of "Ink" mode (toggled with the "I" key). In this mode, colors are blend much as they do with markers, allowing you to color over your outlines without obscuring them.
Seal Canvas.
In addition to Undo, TabletDraw allows you to "seal" your drawing so that you can erase back to it later. Use it for correcting mistakes, gradients, and more.
System requirements:
- Any Intel or G5 based Mac.
- Any PowerPC based Mac.
- Core Image capable graphics card.
Version restrictions:
- The unregistered version gives you full access to all features but undo is limited to 5 levels.
Enhancements
Features/Enhancements:
- Vastly improved pen thickness handling.
