- J2K-Codec: Size Matters — There is an image-compression standard named JPEG, which is quite good, but rather old. And there is a new, modern and progressive successor — JPEG2000. Respectively to JPEG, the new standard gives a smaller file size and better image quality, and some new possibilities, such as transparency and translucency (alpha-channel). With J2K-Codec any developer can easily add JPEG2000 support to his/her application. If you are a game…
- MAPILab Toolbox 2.7. Get Its Best from Outlook — Microsoft Outlook is someway like an iceberg: What You See is much less than What It Is. Outlook is a thing of the type called Platform: in its heart, it can do virtually everything; but the «plain user» cannot make it do everything it can. Or — he can, if he is using MAPILab Toolbox. MAPILab Toolbox adds many small (and sometimes not so small) capabilities you want, but…
- EymBarcodeReader.ocx Decode Bar Code — Barcodes (the approach to encoding data in black-and-white bars) are widely used since their invention in the middle of the XXth century. They have proven themselves to be a universal and reliable mean in cases when a small amount of uniform significant data is to be associated with multiple things and then processed automatically. Though in last years the usage of barcodes has gradually yielded to distant…
- SWF Toolbox 3.1.12, Obedient Flash — The Flash (SWF) and Flash Video (FLV) file formats are very common and useful on the Web. Their only drawback is their «thing in itself» nature: You hardly can change those files, extract their parts or convert them to other formats. You hardly can — unless you have SWF Toolbox! In this case, you can do virtually any conversion with Flash/Flash Video files. Here is an (incomplete) description of what SWF Toolbox allows…
- Alarm++ 7.05, Regularly Organized — Alarm++ is a smart solution capable of reminding you to do something or even do something on its own. Speaking in technical words, it’s a hybrid of a scheduler and reminder; speaking in human words, it’s a way to organize all your regular or upcoming events at once. The heart of Alarm++’s functionality consists of two rather simple things: When To Do and What…
- VectorEye - the most hassle-free method to turn regular images into vector graphics — Whenever you need to convert a standard bitmap image into the vector format to use in a Flash movie or any of the popular vector-based applications, such as CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Mobile Designer, Swish, Inkskape or others, you face a dilemma of doing it manually or finding a tool to perform the conversion for you. Manual conversion may take hours or even days, so you should think well prior…
- ZipSnap - regular incremental backups made really easy — If you are the administrator of a large file catalog or a software directory, integrity of your data is your primary concern. When hundreds of files are added to the archive every day, manual backups become virtually impossible and full backups are obviously inefficient due to the free disk space required for this operation. If this is the case with, incremental backups will be just what you need. But how do you go about…
- Turning the Face to the User. DJ Java Decompiler — Don’t be disappointed when instead a mono-color alphanumeric screen with a lot of mysterious characters, which make sense only to those “chosen” ones called “hackers” or “coders”, and control commands hidden behind the never-would-guess keyboard shortcuts you will see a feature-rich GUI-based editor with colored source code of your application loaded in it. — That’s DJ Java…
- TeX Expressions Put in Human-Readable Format. BaKoMa TeX. — Just as hard as to learn a new foreign language — is for a newbie to code a mathematical formula with TeX. It requires remembering a handful of tricky expressions and totally wears out on debugging the code: TeX provides no way to see whether or not the formula you have typed is syntactically correct, and the expression you’ve just “programmed” looks the way you wanted. Does…
