SMARTReporter - 2.2.5



SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you of some ATA hard disk failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T.-status of your hard disk. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology built into most modern hard disks that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. Because SMARTReporter relies on the S.M.A.R.T. implementation of Mac OS X, it only supports ATA or S-ATA hard disks, if you want S.M.A.R.T. support for your FireWire hard disk, send feedback to Apple. SMARTReporter can notify you of impending hard disk failures by sending e-mails, displaying a warning dialog or executing an application. The current status of your hard disks is always displayed through the customizable menu item.


What's new in this version:

* Added ability to check for updates automatically
* Added option to use red menu-icon when a disk is failing
* Added new menu items: "Send Feedback," "About SMARTReporter," "Open ReadMe," "Open FAQ," "Open History"
* Added three new menu-icon-sets (thanks to Alex)
* Added Japanese translation (thanks to jumpei suzuki)
* Added check if SMARTReporter crashed with option to send me the details
* Fixed the "Donate" option to point to an english page instead of a german one
* Fixed a possible problem with strings not appearing in dialogs, leading to dialogs without text
* Fixes for e-mail sending
* Fixed a small memory leak
* Updated French translation (thanks to Fabio)
* Updated Spanish and Catalan translations (thanks to Jose Gil)

QT Sync is a QuickTime movie player.

What can you do with "QT Sync"?

* Watch your movies in Full Screen.
* Correct Audio/Video Sync problems "on-the-fly".
* Works also great with Airfoil. Visit the FAQ page to learn more.
* Change the Aspect Ratio of movies without losing quality. (No re-encoding needed.)
* Combine movies which have been splitted into several parts.
* Crop the movie.
* Insert a text track with TimeCode or Feet+Frames information into the movie.
* ...
(The program is still under development. More Features are coming...)



More Details

* QT Sync plays all QuickTime movie files. (This includes .mov, .avi, .mpg, etc.)
* It has a normal and a Full screen mode.
* The difference ("offset") between picture and sound is shown alternatively as "frames" (pictures), milliseconds or "TimeScale units" (the internal time unit of QuickTime).
* You can enter the offset for video and/or audio tracks either in a nice little controller window or (in the Full screen mode) by using shortcuts.
* QT Sync supports both the input of numerical values (you may have seen this in other "syncing" programs) and the "shifting" of tracks in adjustable steps.
* The "sync"ed movies can be saved either as "Reference Movie" or "Self-Contained Movie" (QuickTime-compatible). (Saving as "Reference Movie" is recommended if the original movie file is not to be changed. A reference movie is only several 100 KB in size, because it does not contain the actual picture and sound data, but only controller data. But you always need the original movie file for playing.)


What's new in this version:

* Fixed: Updating the Mac OS to 10.4.9 made the Spacebar (Play/Pause Movie) not work properly.
* Added: New Menu Shortcuts.
* Fixed: Help Texts.

* Crop Window, TC Inserter: EditFields are selected immediately when the window opens.
* Preferences System completely rewritten.
* Crop Window: Remembers last settings. New "Cache" Mode.
* Lots of minor fixes.
* New Behaviour for the Arrows of Numerical EditFields of the "TC Inserter" and the "Crop Movie" Window:
o Click in the Numerical EditFields. Use Arrow Up/Arrow Down to change the value +1/-1. Use SHIFT+Arrow Up/Arrow Down to change the value +10/-10.
o Click the Arrows at the side of the EditFields to change the value +1/-1.
o Hold SHIFT and click the Arrows at the side of the EditFields to change the value +10/-10.
