Application watch

There are a lot of applications that I want to try out but I'm waiting to upgrade to Leopard before I start using them. Most if not all applications are Leopard compatible or optimized. I'll be making a list of these applications and perhaps write a mini-review for each. I'll be adding more in the future.



Baseline is a disk scanning utility that lets you take a 'baseline' of your hard drive and compare subsequent scans to that baseline. The application will let you view changes that have been made to a file or directory. You also are able to delete, compress or archive files within Baseline. Shareware. $10. 14-day trial period.

Tidy Up "you can search for duplicate files and packages; by the owner application, content, type, creator, extension, time modified, time created, name, label, visibility and delays. Tidy Up! allows you to search for duplicate folders; by name, date modified, date created, label visibility, empty folders, their contents and more." Shareware. $30. Trial duration unknown.

Youpi Optimizer "is an application which enables you to delete resources localized in unused languages, and then free disk space. You can gain more than 100 MB of free space with a standard Mac OS X installation." Freeware.

Maked Light: "Non-destructive image editing. Node-based compositing. Live filters. High-end tools. And infinite resolution. It's image editing, re-invented." Sounds interesting. Count me in. Beta release.
