This is release 5.3 of the plug-ins. The plug-ins included are: 1. Run MacPerl (version 1.1.5) - updated 2. Check Perl Syntax (version 1.1.5) - updated 3. Run MacPerl Front (version 1.0.4) 4. Run File with MacPerl (version 1.1.5) - updated 5. Edit MacPerl Script (version 1.0.2) 6. Shuck (version 1.0) 7. Perl Filters (version 1.1.3) - updated 8. Perl Palette (version 3.1 by Lindsay Davies) - updated The changes in this release are: 1. The Perl Palette now works with both BBEdit 4.0 and BBEdit 4.5. 2. Added a "Use selected text for script" option to the Run MacPerl and the Check Perl Syntax plug-ins. If this option is used then selected text in the active BBEdit window is used as the Perl script sent to MacPerl rather than all the text in the window. 3. Syntax errors that contain text over multiple lines are now reported in the error browser (this effects Run MacPerl, Check Perl Syntax, Run File with MacPerl, and Perl Filters). The plug-ins are freeware.

If I did this every day, I suppose I wouldn't mind paying for a screen capture program with all the bells and whistles, but as it is, I resist. Years ago, there was a tiny freeware extension called StillDown, by Gregory M. Robbins, that enabled command-shift-3 screen shots with menus pulled down. But StillDown doesn't work with Mac OS 8. Therefore, I decided to write a new free bare-bones menu snapshot program: MenuCapture. To install MenuCapture, drop it in your Control Panels folder and reboot. To use MenuCapture, open the MenuCapture control panel and click the "Enable" checkbox. Then pull down a menu, and press the keys command, shift, and control simultaneously. What happens next depends on what version of the system you are running. With System 7.6 or later, the cursor turns into a cross-hair, and you can click and drag to select a region to be copied to the clipboard. With earlier systems, a snapshot of the whole screen is saved as a picture file on your disk. -- James W.

Do you have more images than you can comfortably manage? Or, do you need an easy and flexible way to make image tables or image indexes for your web pages? QuickNailer gracefully combines an elegant and convenient image thumbnailer, contact-sheet maker, and media cataloger with a flexible and complete tool for producing HTML image tables and image indexes with linked pages. QuickNailer's responsive, uncluttered user interface facilitates: Importing a few or a few thousand digital media files (including Layered Photoshop, Progressive JPEG, GIF, TIFF, QuickTime Movies, etc.) by dragging-and-dropping files, folders, volumes, shared disks, CD-ROMs, aliases, scanning the Desktop, or opening QuickNailer Media Catalogs; Media previewing (as variable-size thumbnails displayed with user-selected image information, individual images, slide shows [with QT movie playback], cell animation, tiled images [optional text or image overlay], all at any magnification level); Searching and ranking by keyword relevancy (using file name, comments, folder name, volume name); Ranking similar files (using file name, file size, creation date); Search for color; File maintenance (edit file name or comments, put file in trash, launch file using any application software, move file to another folder, open file's folder). In addition, QuickNailer generates fully-functional multiple indexed web sites with frames, HTML image tables, tab-delimited data files, and divided, WYSIWYG contact-sheets (useful for submitting multiple index files to internet newsgroups). QuickNailer includes an online hyper-linked help system and tutorial. The program is PowerPC accelerated and has been rigorously tested and internationalized. Many new features and refinements have been implemented for version 1.4.1 including: Support for Layered Photoshop, Progressive JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, Targa; Off-demand thumbnail generation; Multiple thumbnail selection; Folder hot keys; Tab-delimited data file output; New search commands; Relative paths and HTML frames; Important bug fixes (including a fix for version 1.4.0); and much more. Please see the Softwhir web site for more information. (Minimum requirements: 68020 or better CPU; 4MB RAM; System 7.1 or newer; QuickTime 2.5 or newer.)

Smart Scroll brings two features of Apple's advanced Rhapsody operating system to today's Mac OS users. Smart Scroll enhances regular scroll bars so they show how much of a document is displayed in a window. The indicator thumb in scroll bars becomes proportional: If a window is displaying half of a document, the thumb will be half the scrollbar size. This gives you an idea of how large the document is, without having to scroll the window to find out. Try it for yourself, it speeds browsing the Net or going through your email, for example. Smart Scroll also adds Live Scrolling, which updates the display as you drag the scrollbar thumb. Just release the thumb when you see the part of the document you want: no more guessing where you'll end up! All scrollbars benefit from these improvements, even those hidden in Open and Save dialogs. After a few days of Smart Scroll, going back to regular scroll feels like something is missing! New in version 3.1: *Supports ClarisWorks 4 and 5 *Supports Netscape's own live scrolling *Support for CodeWarrior's own live scrolling (tested up to Pro1) *Live Scrolling can now be turned off *Exlusions List is now preserved after Restart *Misc. changes and fixes Christopher Li Bridge 1 Software English/Japanese Japanese/English Software Localization and Management mailto:ChrisLi@bridge1.com [Archived as /info-mac/gui/smart-scroll-31a-jp.hqx; 150K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 13:23:42 -0700 From: tlaaveri@geocities.com Subject: [*] SmartDrag 1.0.1 SmartDrag 1.01 - This extension makes window dragging&resizing to work in real-time.

Spike solves the stutter and glitch playback problems of CD-ROM and Web-based QuickTime files. Given a batch of QuickTime movies, Spike determines which among them will provide optimal playability from a range of deployment platforms and media. Offering many of the features of Apple's long-discontinued MovieAnalyzer, Spike is compatible with QuickTime 2.5 and beyond. Spike 1.5 is a major upgrade to earlier versions of Spike and introduces new datarate and spike analysis algorithms, removes all expiration dates (including those for unregistered copies), adds a number of new enhancements, and lowers the price. Current QuickTime compression software reports the average data rate of files; many people mistakenly use this figure to make decisions about the suitability of compressed video for their playback targets. A QuickTime movie can have a perfectly acceptable average data rate while still containing data spikes that will seriously disrupt playback on any machine. Spike identifies these problems and offers a suite of options for controlling their detection. Other features include detailed data-rate graphs, "Spike Alerts" and reports in frames-per-second and SMPTE, several preview options, and batch processing. Until registered, this "lite" version is completely functional except that it restricts the number of files in a batch and that the "presets" menus are not available.
