It's features include a full screen browser, advanced slideshow (cross fades and the unique "scribble" function) and powerful image organizational tools (image rotation, copying, renaming). Prowler's aim is to present a collection of images in an attractive way, either for personal browsing, showing off to friends, or presentations. Prowler supports all file image formats supported by the currently installed version of QuickTime. These include PICT, JPEG, GIF etc. Prowler is only US$15 shareware. --------------------------------------------------------------------- So what's so great about Prowler? There are many features that sets Prowler neck and tail ahead of the rest of the pack; - Prowler's has a unique and elegant interface; perfect for presentations. No more of those drab gray buttons, lists and popup menus. - Powerful image manipulation tools make it a perfect assistant to any aspiring digital photographer. - Prowler features a slideshow including all common features as well as several unique features such as alpha fades and scribbling. - The ability to create HTML image catalogs. - Prowler isnØt expensive. --------------------------------------------------------------------- What's new in this version? Released an early alpha version of Prowler Carbon. This lets Prowler run natively under MacOS X. Moved the preferences menu item from the edit menu to the application menu under OSX. Added a "Windows" menu under OSX. Added labels to some of the go menu items. Added the ability (under preferences) to set how images are automatically scaled in the full screen mode. Basically, you can have Prowler scale the image to the width of the screen (useful for TiBook users, as suggested by Justin Weiner). Pressing the tab key twice will zoom an image in slideshow to fit the screen if the image is smaller than the screen; as requested by Ken arnold. Bug. Menu would be hidden in Finder. Fixed.

Hall" To: Subject: [*] Script Timer 1.1 -OS X native scheduler for AppleScripts Script Timer 1.1X Script Timer 1.1X is an easy to use native AppleScript scheduler for Macintosh OS X. It lets you schedule the execution of OSA based scripts, such as those created using AppleScript. It will run your scripts at any time on a daily, weekly, weekdays only, monthly, or one time basis as well as at regular intervals ranging from minutes to weeks. You can also easily pass parameters to your scripts. Script Timer has an extremely small memory footprint and is designed to run unobtrusively in the background. The program comes with several sample scripts, including one to remind you of upcoming appointments. To try out Script Timer 1.1X, go to http://www.theboss.net/appsmore and click on the Shareware and Freeware button. Version 1.01, for users of Macintosh OS 7.5 to 9.1, is still available and fully supported. It can be obtained at the same location.

You will need at least System 7.1 to use TimeRunner. It should work with all system versions up to Mac OS 9.x. I literally threw this together in a couple of hours to get a job done that I needed - it's not pretty, nor incredibly user-friendly, but it's simple, and I thought somebody else might find it useful... Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drag the TimeRunner extension onto the icon of your System Folder. You will be asked if you want to place it into the Extensions folder, which is where this extension should go! (Alternatively, you can of course drag it into the Extensions folder yourself.) Once it is in place you should restart your Mac to allow the extensions to load as the system starts up. Once Finder has started you should see a warning message appearing which tells you that there is no "TimeRun Items" folder in your System Folder. If you open up your System Folder and create a new folder with the name "TimeRun Items", then you can place applications to launch (or better, aliases to applications) into this folder.
