Stay 1.0.2

If you’re fastidious about keeping your windows tidy, Stay is for you. Stay ensures that your windows are always where you want them to be, even as you connect and disconnect displays. Move your windows to where you want them, then have Stay store them. Once stored, windows can be returned to their stored state at any time by having Stay restore them. 


Stay can store a set of windows for every combination of displays that you use with your computer. For example, if you have a laptop that is sometimes connected to an external monitor, you can store two sets of windows in Stay; one with the external monitor connected and one without. 

This done, you’ll be able to ensure that your windows are always where you want them to be by having Stay restore windows whenever you connect or disconnect the external monitor. Stay can even be configured to automatically restore windows as displays are connected and disconnected.

Input Director - Control Multiple Computers

Input Director is a Windows application that lets you control multiple Windows systems using the keyboard/mouse attached to one computer. It is designed for folks who have two (or more) computers set up at home and find themselves regularly sliding from one system to the other (and wearing out the carpet in the process!). With Input Director, you can share a single keyboard/mouse across a set of systems. You switch which system receives the input either by hotkey or by moving the cursor so that it transitions from one screen to the other (in a very similar fashion to a multi-monitor setup). The idea being that you can position the monitors from two or more systems in a row and use a shared keyboard/mouse to control all of them.

Input Director also supports a "shared" clipboard, in which you can copy data onto the clipboard on one system, transition across to another and paste.

Input Director requires Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows XP (Service Pack 2), Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 or Windows 7. The systems must be networked.


Easy to Use:

· Easy to follow installation and usage guides – setup only takes a few minutes
Tell Input Director how your monitors are positioned simply by dragging them to the correct spot on the monitor grid:
· Multi-monitor support
· Shared Clipboard – copy and paste between computers (including files!)

Manage all your computers at once:

· Simultaneously lock all computers
· Synchronise the screensavers across your computers
· Synchronise shutdown of your system (or individually configure whether a computer goes to standby, hibernate or shuts down)

Security:

· Encrypt network data between Input Director controlled computers using AES with a 128, 192 or 256bit key
· Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only Administrators may make changes
· Systems can limit which master systems can control them by host name or network subnet

Transition Features:

Ripples surround the cursor for a few seconds after transitioning to help the eye follow the cursor from one computer to another:
Transitioning using the mouse can be setup to occur:
· Immediately when the cursor hits the edge of the screen
· If the screen edge is double tapped by the cursor
· If the cursor momentarily pauses at the edge of the screen
· Can be configured to limit transitions near the corners of computer monitors to avoid accidental slippage between systems
· Can also set a key (or keys) that must be held down to permit transitions between systems
· Hotkeys can be setup to switch control to a specific computer or move to the next computer to the left or right

Magic Launch


Take Back Control of File Associations

Apple made a controversial change in Snow Leopard. It’s a fairly system-level one, though, so perhaps the majority of users will not have had any issues with it – but it’s made some experienced Mac users pretty unhappy. What’s changed is the way in which files open when double-clicked.

It used to be that OS X embedded what’s known as a Creator Code in new files, so that the system knew to open files within the applications that made them. Rob Griffiths published a discussion of this behaviour, and the changes in Snow Leopard, in Macworld back in September last year. Have a read of that piece, and the lengthy comments that accompany it, if you want to understand the issue better.

I haven’t been impacted by this change to a great degree, but one of the applications that comes up in discussion of ways of fixing the change, and giving back more control over what applications open files, caught my eye. Michel Fortin’s Magic Launch is a Preference Pane that lets you manipulate file-opening in ways that allow you a great deal of flexibility.

It solves the problem of Creator Codes being removed, but it also adds some excellent functionality, and that means it’s well worth a look even if you’re untroubled by the main issue it addresses.

Screenwatcher 2.1

About Screenwatcher
A small cocoa application that displays a movie or a screensaver as the desktopbackground. The application contains a small library interface for the movies. When the application starts it reads all screensavers that are installed and displays them in the corresponding list (this way you can use any screensaver and you can install them absolutly normal by a double-click). It is opensource and can be modified by anybody.

Because Screenwatcher is based on the QTKit (well known as Quicktime) you can extend the movieplayer with any Quicktime component. As example you could install the component Perian if you want to play some .flv movies.
