Duplicate 1.0 - Free Enhanced Copy and Paste for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite - Published on 05/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MacDaddy today introduces Duplicate 1.0, its new productivity application developed specifically for OS X Yosemite. Duplicate enhances the OS X Finder's standard copy and paste functionality by making them more efficient, as well as performing approximately 10% faster than stock copy and paste methods. Duplicate can also copy large folders with no issues involving file permissions, as well as the ability to copy entire volumes, creating an exact duplicate bootable copy of the original volume.

Breckenridge, Colorado - MacDaddy today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Duplicate 1.0, its new productivity application developed specifically for OS X Yosemite. Duplicate enhances the OS X Finder's standard copy and paste functionality by making them more efficient and performing approximately 10% faster than the stock functions. While duplicate works via Finder just like standard copy and paste, its abilities are much more enhanced. In addition to Duplicate's greater efficiency and increased speed, it can also copy large folders, or even entire volumes at once.

Duplicate installs itself as an option into the contextual menu that appears when you Control-Click or right-click a file, folder, or drive. This makes Duplicate just as easy to use as the standard OS X copy and paste functions, while providing a copy and paste operation that is both faster and more efficient. Duplicate avoids failed copies with large folders, and users won't experience any issues with permissions as they sometime do with the standard Copy and Paste functions. Duplicate creates an exact duplicate of the data that is copied and pasted using the app.

Features:
* Copies and pastes data up to 10% faster than OS X's standard functions
* As easy to use as the standard OS X copy and paste functions
* Copy and paste large folders
* Copy and paste entire volumes
* Duplicate copied volumes are bootable

"Using the stock OS X copy and paste functions built-in to OS X Yosemite 10.10 can frustrate some users," says MacDaddy CEO Ben Slaney. "When copying large folders, they sometimes encounter issues with permissions and failed copies with large folders. Duplicate fixes all of that, while being just as easy to use as the stock copy and paste functions."

Whenever Duplicate is used to copy data, it makes an exact duplicate, which can even pass the "Backup Bouncer Test," which is a test that determines whether a perfect copy of a file and all associated data is made, which many utility apps, (including the Finder's native copy and paste), fail.

Duplicate preserves the following when it copies data:
* Basic permissions, ownership, and timestamps
* Symbolic links
* Ownership of symbolic links
* Hard links
* Resource forks
* Finder flags
* Finder locks
* Finder creation date
* BSD flags
* Extended attributes (on files, directories, and symbolic links)
* Access Control Lists (on files, directories, and symbolic links)
* FIFOs
* Devices
* Any combinations of the above

One ultimate test for Duplicate is that it can even be used to copy and paste an entire volume to another drive, resulting in a bootable drive. Volume copy and paste is an extremely handy feature for those looking to easily create test volumes when they're wanting to experiment with different setups and configurations on their Mac.

"By using Duplicate to make an exact copy of their Mac OS X volume, users can use the Duplicate copy to try out various configurations and changes without worrying about harming their daily use system's hard drive and its data," continues Slaney. "This protects users who enjoy tinkering with their systems, offering complete protection from accidentally and irreversibly altering their Mac's configuration by mistake."

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.10 Yosemite or later
* 64-Bit Intel processor
* 4.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Duplicate 1.0 is Free and is available worldwide exclusively as a direct download from the MacDaddy website.

Insider Debuts Expo: Asset Manager for Web, Creative and Marketing Pros - Published on 05/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Insider Software today introduces Expo, an innovative asset manager for Mac OS X. Expo aims to redefine how web, creative and marketing professionals discover, manage and utilize images, fonts, icons, multimedia and application documents in their projects. Expo then auto-organizes them into customizable smart folders based on the assets' attributes and metadata. By supporting their creative workflow, Expo helps them develop better designs, websites, documents, presentations and materials.

San Jose, California - Insider Software, the maker of FontAgent(R) Pro, has launched Expo (TM), an innovative asset manager that redefines how web, creative and marketing professionals discover, manage and utilize images, fonts, icons, multimedia and application documents in their projects. By supporting their creative workflow, Expo helps them develop better designs, websites, documents, presentations and materials.

Discover New Assets on the Internet:
Expo's unique, user-customizable, stock-site manager and built-in browser find free and commercial assets quickly on the Web. Users can visit several assets sites with a single click, select new assets, and drop them into Expo - which then imports the assets and their contents, properties and tags into its catalog.

Manage and Organize All Digital Assets and Their Metadata:
Using Expo, users can import a wide range of assets including documents, images, presentations, fonts, icons, music, audio and video files. Expo auto-organizes them into customizable smart folders based on the assets' attributes and metadata. Users can also drag assets into project, product, client, source or other user-defined folders to organize them anyway they want - so the assets are easy to find and put to work.

Powerful Tagging that Works Everywhere:
As Expo imports asset files, it auto-tags them to preserve their Mac OS folder associations as well as any tags already assigned by asset vendors and associates. Users can also add their own automatic, manual and batch tags at any time. Later, users can search those tags to find matching assets in seconds.

Get Instant Spotlight-Style Search Results:
Expo includes a Mac OS Spotlight-style search that examines tags, file names, file types, sources, dates, licenses, image specs and more. Users instantly see assets matching their search criteria rather than waiting for pages of unhelpful search results.

Include Fonts as First-Class Citizens:
Insider applies its skills as a long-time leader in font management to treat fonts as first-class citizens in Expo. With a simple click, Expo users can view all their fonts; see font previews in customizable text, size and color; and activate and deactivate selected fonts.

Put Assets Directly to Work in Mac Apps:
Users can drag assets out of Expo directly into Mac folders and applications from Adobe, Quark, Apple, Microsoft and thousands of others. Or they can use the patent-pending ExpoExpress menu widget to quickly select the right assets even when the Expo app window isn't visible.

Track Asset Licenses to Avoid Violations:
Expo tracks asset licenses so users know their rights and restrictions, and avoid usage fees and penalties. It comes preconfigured with standard license terms and allows users to enter new license text and cost information on a batch or individual-asset basis.

Use Ratings and Notes to Describe Assets in Detail:
Expo allows users to add ratings and notes to assets to detail sources, projects, versions, alternates, color adjustments, usage instructions - whatever they need to remember. Since notes are often the most important part of asset metadata, Expo indexes and includes their contents when users search for assets.

About Expo:
Expo is a digital asset manager that redefines how web, creative and marketing professionals discover, manage and utilize assets in their projects. By supporting their entire workflow, Expo helps them create better designs, documents, websites, presentations and materials.

Expo Requirements, Pricing and Trials:
Expo runs on Macintosh computers running OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite) or later. Customers can purchase Expo or request a 30-day trial at Insider Software online. Single-user Expo licenses cost $199 (USD), but are available for a limited time at an introductory price of $149.

Team Lumo announce Cat Dream Simulator - Published on 05/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award winning developers, Team Lumo today announces the up and coming release of Lumo's Cat, the final installment in their simulation trilogy for iOS devices. Lumo's Cat is a single-player Real Time Defence game for MOBA playing, cat-lovers on the move. The game simulates what takes place inside your cat's dreams. Lumo's Cat is due out for iPhone and iPad Summer 2015, but eager players can see the game at MCM Comic Con London 22nd - 24th May.

Leamington Spa, United Kingdom - With award winning games such as Kumo Lumo (the cloud simulator) and Lumo Deliveries Inc. (the logistics management and beatnik sim) to their name; artisan development collective Team Lumo have quickly established a reputation for creating innovative simulation experiences. Now Team Lumo announces the final installment in their simulation trilogy: Lumo's Cat (the cat dream simulator).

Lumo's Cat is a single-player Real Time Defence game for MOBA playing, cat-lovers on the move. Lumo's Cat blurs the boundaries between the RTS and Tower Defence genres. The game simulates what takes place inside your cat's dreams - and your cat is under attack! Hordes of raucous mice are sweeping in from every direction, each trying to awaken your sleeping cat. Your job is to deploy the Cat Defence Squad to fight off the mice and keep the cat asleep.

As in real life, the food your cat eats before bed affects the dreams it has. In Lumo's Cat, players can modify the difficulty of each game to suit their skill or mood by feeding the cat different food before it goes to sleep.

Each level successfully completed adds a new pattern to the ever lengthening Cat Blanket - with the design entirely dependent on the food you just fed the cat. This gives each player a completely unique blanket that reflects their individual game experience and personal artistic taste! Players can share their blanket design with friends, and see what they have created!

Project Lead, Steve Stopps says "We have been working closely with our future players, and we believe that together we have created something truly special. If you love frenetic action packed strategy games, cats, cheese and paisley blankets, then Lumo's Cat was quite literally made for you."

Lumo's Cat is due out for iPhone and iPad Summer 2015, but eager players can see the game at MCM Comic Con London 22nd - 24th May.

Team Lumo: http://teamlumo.com

Part of Leamington Spa's Arch Creative scene and financially backed by video game investment specialist, Daedalus Partners LLP, Team Lumo are a collective of like minded developers who aim to make unique experiences to surprise and delight players. The six-person team has nearly 50 years combined experience of making games, but believes it is its passion in combining elements from the fringes of pop-culture that really sets them apart.

DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.8.5 index ebooks natively - Published on 05/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its intelligent information and document manager DEVONthink as well as the smart notebook DEVONnote. DEVONthink and DEVONnote help its users classify and organize documents effortlessly with unique artificial intelligence. Version 2.8.5 adds support for ebooks and Textbundle files. It also comes with better scanner support and PDF annotations. The updates are free and recommended for all users.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies, LLC today updates all editions of its intelligent information and document manager DEVONthink as well as the smart notebook DEVONnote. DEVONthink 2.8.5 natively indexes unprotected e-books and Textbundle files. Users can search for e-books using DEVONthink's advanced search or convert them to plain text. Only for displaying their content a third-party Quick Look plugin might be necessary.

The enhanced scanner support now allows users to scan all front and all back pages separately. Later both batches can be merged to a complete document with just one click. Merging arbitrary documents determines the best file format automatically. Unknown files are attached to a created RTF document. PDF annotations are easier to enter and layouted more consistently in version 2.8.5.

DEVONthink Pro Office allows to share documents even with Windows users. Its integrated web server lets them find and view documents or even add new ones. Version 2.8.5 improves performance and password protection. Links in Markdown documents and formatted notes are better handled, too.

All editions including DEVONnote 2.8.5 allow to build smart groups matching multiple tags. Finder tags are matched to existing labels by color when importing documents. Finally, multiple selected documents or groups can be exported as one template. Users can so even easier build their own project templates that create entire often-used group structures with a single click.

The updates to version 2.8.5 bring some more optimizations for OS X Yosemite and improve their performance and reliability, too.

"E-Books, either as PDFs or ePub, establish themselves more and more for technical literature. Starting with this new version DEVONthink indexes ePub and iBooks books natively and lets you convert them if you need to. Better annotations make working with PDFs more comfortable. And the faster and more secure web server lets you work better together with your coworkers stuck on Windows. Again a maintenance update that is much more than just maintenance," comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.

Availability and Pricing:
All editions of DEVONthink as well as DEVONnote require an Intel-based Mac and OS X 10.7.5 or later (in the App Store: OS X 10.9 or later). They can be downloaded from www.devontechnologies.com and be test-driven for free before they need to be properly licensed.

MacItBetter releases BetterZip 3 for OS X - Published on 05/20/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MacItBetter today announces BetterZip 3, an update to their popular archiving solution for OS X. BetterZip lets you peek inside archives without first extracting. Explore the contents of archives and preview files inside using a preview sidebar or even Quick Look. With BetterZip you can compress or extract files with drag-and-drop. Update, move, rename & delete files inside archives as if you were working with normal folders. Version 3 now supports winmail.dat files, DMG files, and ePub files.

Bernstein, Austria - MacItBetter today is pleased to announce the immediate availability of BetterZip 3 for OS X. BetterZip lets you peek inside archives without first extracting. Explore the contents of archives and preview files inside using a preview sidebar or even Quick Look. With BetterZip you can compress or extract files with drag-and-drop. Update, move, rename, and delete files inside archives as if you were working with normal folders.

The biggest new feature is the Direct Mode which speeds up working with large archives by making archive preparation and recompression obsolete.

The archive password manager helps you work with encrypted archives by collecting a list of archive passwords in your OS X keychain. These can be used automatically whenever you open encrypted archives. BetterZip 3 adds a password generator which suggests strong passwords whenever you need them.

When you open a file in an archive with the View command and edit it with an external editor, BetterZip will detect the changes and give you the option to update the archive.

Presets can store all the settings that can be applied to an archive, from the destination folder and archive format, to passwords and even a script to execute when the operation completed. After that you can use and reuse the presets with one click instead of choosing all the settings over and over again.

BetterZip's Favorites sidebar can collect all the archives on your disks in one place with fast filtering to find the right archive when you need it.

The popular BetterZip Quick Look Generator has now been integrated into the application. The Quick Look generator has always been and remains free to use for everyone, but there is one neat new feature that requires a BetterZip license: You can now click a file in the Quick Look panel, at which point command is handed over to BetterZip which extracts and displays the clicked file.

BetterZip opens, extracts, and even creates AES-256 encrypted zip archives which are compatible with a wide variety of other archivers on all operating systems for secure data exchange, commercial and private alike. Furthermore, BetterZip can extract and create zip files larger than 2 GB as well as archives with these formats: tar, xz, gzip, bzip2, rar, xar, and 7-zip. More than thirty archive formats can be viewed and extracted, including various zip based Java archives (JAR files.)

New in version 3 is support for winmail.dat files, Apple Disk Images (DMG), and ePub files. Another new addition to BetterZip 3 is the extensive AppleScript support which lets you build workflows using BetterZip's compression and extraction functions.

Pricing and Availability:
BetterZip 3 requires OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or later. The trial version can be downloaded from MacItBetter online and is fully functional for 30 days. A single user license costs $19.95 (USD), discounted upgrades are available for $9.99.
