Our current offerings include:
• Default Folder - Shareware $25
Default Folder is a control panel that enhances Open and Save dialog boxes to make it easier for you to manage files on your Macintosh. It provides many of the essential features of the commercial SuperBoomerang and Directory Assistance utilities, but without the infrequently used extras that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage.
Default Folder's time-saving Open and Save dialog enhancements allow you to:
- Set up a default folder for any or all applications.
- Switch among recently used folders from a pop-up menu.
- See available disk space and switch between disks from a pop-up menu.
- Click on a Finder window to show it in an Open or Save dialog.
- Create folders, get information (including changing name, type, and
creator), and move items to the Trash from within file dialogs.
- "Rebound" back to the last file you used.
- Make "Replace" the default option instead of "Cancel" when saving
a file with the same name as an existing file.
- Speed up the display of Open and Save dialogs by turning off custom
color icons in the file list.
Default Folder will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, and is accelerated for PowerPC.
• Sleeper - Shareware $20
Sleeper is a control panel for desktop Macs that spins down the hard disk, dims the screen, and powers off Energy Star compliant monitors after periods of inactivity. This reduces power consumption and quiets your Mac when it's not in use. Separate "sleep" times can be set for the different features, and a hotkey is available for putting your Mac to sleep on demand.
Sleeper will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher. Disk sleep will work with any SCSI or IDE disk drive, while Energy Star features require an Energy Star compliant Macintosh and monitor. Sleeper is accelerated for PowerPC.
• AutoLaunch - Shareware $15
AutoLaunch is a screen saver "engine" that launches an application after your Macintosh has been idle for a specified amount of time. It's great for running stand-alone MacroMedia Director movies as screen savers, executing AppleScript applets during idle time, restarting demos after a person walks away from an in-store Mac, and the like.
AutoLaunch requires a Macintosh running System 7 or higher. Volume licenses and customization are available for those who wish to redistribute AutoLaunch with their screen saver application.
• WakeUp Items - Shareware $10
WakeUp Items is a control panel that gives you the ability to automatically open applications or files whenever your Macintosh wakes up from sleep mode. Just as you put items and aliases into the StartUp Items folder when you want them launched at startup, you place files and aliases in the WakeUp Items folder to launch them when your Mac wakes up.
WakeUp Items will work on Macintoshes that have built-in sleep capabilities (PowerBooks and PCI PowerMacs), or any Mac running version 2.0.4 or later of St. Clair Software's Sleeper control panel. WakeUp Items requires System 7 or higher to operate.
• Floppy Default - Shareware $10
Floppy Default is a system extension that encourages users to save their files on a floppy disk, and warns them of dire consequences if they don't. Floppy Default causes all Open and Save dialogs to initially display the contents of a floppy disk if one is present, or a predetermined folder on the hard disk or a file server if not. This is particularly useful in networked environments where users don't have a folder on a hard disk where they can safely store their files.
• IconWrap II - Freeware
IconWrap II is an extension that makes sure the startup icons for your system extensions and control panels march across the screen in nice orderly rows. Mac system extensions follow a set of de facto standards for displaying their startup icons, but some are a little less capable than others. IconWrap helps them position themselves properly.
