Freeware/Shareware App you couldn't live without?

[Cory]

I'm always curious what little programs people find to help them work faster..

What's the one program you use that you couldn't live without anymore?

For me, it's Default Folder:

Allows you to quickly navigate open/save dialog boxes.

Here's one I download and use to help keep our Macs running smoothly.
Cache Out
Here's one I use to keep my fonts database clean:
Font Finagler

That one's sweet, Cory! I have never heard of it, but I'm DL'ing now.
Thanks for the tip!!

I really like Font Finangler (I use Suitcase 10) as needed or once a week,
whichever comes first. It's really handy for cleaning the font cashe of those
phantom "corrupted" fonts that SC finds/creates sometimes. Mark has a new
version being beta tested right now by some of the other members here
which I'm looking forward to in the future.

Great info guys!
I already use FontFinagler but not the others. Just one more reason why prepressforums.com is my homepage. :lol:

Number one app for us is Graphic Converter:

It opens up graphics that photoshop chokes on! I even had a .psd file that photoshop wouldn't open but Graphic Converter did. Export options are huge.

Number two application is JellyFiSSH:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11282

Gives us quick access through terminal. I use this to clean up any unwanted email that doesn't get removed by the email programs such as Eudora. For some reason they don't delete all the emails after download, just some.

Number three is a shameless plug :wink: for one of my own products as seen on Ten for X games by Allume Systems:

Art Files - found from a tip from prepressforums! - this will allow you to collect all fonts, and art that have been used in an illustrator AI file.

Art Director's Toolkit 4 - LOVE IT! - lot's of conversion tools, a PMS-CMYK coversion tool, character map tool, above and beyond - I love it!

And no, they are not mine...I wish!

Ok here is a free little app that calculates book spine size, don't need it much but it's a real timesaver when I do.

Not sure what everyone else uses, but its a nice and simple interface and I'm yet to have any problems with it.
