Volumizer - Convenient volume access without the desktop
Use
Volumizer provides two convenient mechanisms for accessing your mounted disks without explicitly switching to the Finder.
If you check the "Display Volumes Menu" checkbox, Volumizer displays a status item in the right end of the menu bar. It will show menu items representing each mounted volume on your machine. If you select one of these items, a Finder window showing the root of that volume will be displayed on the screen. If you hover over the item (on Mac OS X 10.3 or higher) a tooltip will show the path to the item.
If you check "Display Volumes In Dock" each mounted volume will be represented by an icon in the dock. A single click will open a Finder window showing the root of that volume. The dock icon's menu also includes an Eject command. While these icons are running processes, they consume very little memory and no CPU unless you interact with them.
Xee - a lightweight, fast and convenient image viewer and browser
Xee is a lightweight, fast and convenient image viewer and browser. It is designed to be a serious tool for image viewing and management, with a sleek and powerful interface.
Xee is useful as a more powerful replacement for Preview, or most any other image viewer available on Mac OS X. It is very fast, and uses less memory than most other image viewing tools. It also uses OpenGL to display and scroll images much more smoothly than other viewers. Its interface is highly streamlined and has easily configurable keyboard shortcuts.
Xee can:
- Display a large number of image formats - any format QuickTime or Preview can open, plus several more, including PCX, Maya IFF and Amiga IFF-ILBM.
- Easy browse through folders of images - open any file in a folder and use the toolbar, keyboard shortcuts or mouse wheel to view the other images in the same folder.
- Browse image inside archives, using the uncompression engine from The Unarchiver. It can read almost every format The Unarchiver can, which include Zip, Rar, 7-Zip, Lzh and StuffIt. It also supports the CBZ and CBR formats, which are just renamed Zip and Rar files, respectively.
- Effortlessly copy, move, rename and delete of images while viewing.
- Losslessy rotate and crop JPEG images. This lets you edit your digital photographs without losing quality by re-compressing them like most other editors do.
- View more EXIF data for JPEG files than Preview, and also other kinds of metadata, like XMP or IPTC. It can even try to identify what program or camera created a JPEG file by analyzing its quantization tables.
- Extract bitmap images from inside PDF and SWF files. Many PDF files contain scanned pages in bitmap form, and Xee can read these and show them as bitmap image, and even save them. The same goes for bitmap images inside SWF files.
- View images in full-screen.
WizMouse - makes your mouse wheel work on the window under the mouse
WizMouse is a mouse enhancement utility that makes your mouse wheel work on the window currently under the mouse pointer, instead of the currently focused window. This means you no longer have to click on a window before being able to scroll it with the mouse wheel. This is a far more comfortable and practical way to make use of the mouse wheel.
