      wind-borne, Good find and thanks for mentioning. I like apps that do one job well and DoX Perspective is one of those. I think it would be worth the $20 but better again to get it free.

        speaking of pens, have a look this set of pens. the one that caught my attention is the jot script, as it works with Penultimate/Evernote, two apps I use with my iPad.

          I've been using this for awhile and love it. Quit all apps it's made with automator which I would like to learn more about but not very much out there as far as tutorials but thought I would share.

            Check out Liquid (available in the app store). If you select something and click command+@ it pops up a little dialog that lets you do things such as search the web, send to various destinations, copy in nice ways. For a small price, the full version will also look up the selection in various dictionaries, translate between languages, and convert units. Very slick!

              Thanks Steve. Liquid is sitting in my menu bar ๐Ÿ‘

              Here is a heads up on Paddle's current offer.

              Paddle 'The 2014 Mac Pick a Bundle!'

              Pick any 10 out for 30 apps for just $39.99

              It might be worth the price for just 'Forever Save 2' ๐Ÿ‘

                Has anyone been using a good "tear-off menu" app / hack in OSX.

                I keep going nuts with one app I have that buries sheet index in a pull down menu. C'mon. I have to click between so many sheets constantly! So slow.

                Any ideas. Thanks!

                  I don't understand what you are looking for. Maybe Afloat? http://afloat.en.softonic.com/mac

                    I have just organised a useful numeric keypad for my MacBook Pro using my iPhone. Anyone using a MacBook will miss the convenient num keys (in block) that is on larger keyboards.

                    remote2.png
                    In order to set the system up you will need two apps,

                    Connector which resides on your Mac, free at http://mediaware.sk/ware/?page_id=913

                    and

                    NumPad Remote - Wireless numeric pad from the App Store at a cost of $2.99
                    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/numpad-remote-wireless-numeric/id481177408?l=sk%26amp;ls=1%26amp;mt=8

                    In a way I find it better than having a numeric block on the MBP keyboard as I can place the iPhone with MumPad on the upper lefthand side of the keyboard. This works better than having the num block on the righthand side.

                    Let me know what you think?

                    Mike

                    PS: Just noticed that 'Settings' allow,

                    Special Key as Esc, Back, Dial or Tab
                    Delimiter can be Numeric, Period or Comma
                    Keypad layout can be Calculator or Dial Pad (handy for dialing)
                    Key sounds can be None, Click or Vibrate

                                I think I may have mentioned BumpTop some years ago. Its a virtual desktop that you can have untidy and sloppy and then click a button to magically tidy it up! It was launched then bought by Google and shelved. I put my copy away in a safe place and have been using it since, its fun!

                                I now see that both the Mac and Win versions are available for free, here, http://code.google.com/p/bumptop/downloads/list

                                  But with this little Script "one line" you can have a "Copy screen" at any size! โ˜€
                                  By Michael Gibson creator of Moi3D
                                  You can of course modify any thing you want following you graphic card size!

                                  script: /* Print Screen on the Clipboard */ var prev_background = moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = 0x000000; moi.view.lineWidth = 4; moi.grid.display = false; moi.grid.showXYAxes = false; moi.ui.getActiveViewport().renderToClipboard( 2560, 2560 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; moi.grid.display = true; moi.grid.showXYAxes = true; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = prev_background;
                                  

                                  A very old test of that! ๐Ÿ˜„

                                      Any tips on a good file & folder backup application? For Windows I'm testing PureSync but I prefer a multi-OS application because I intend to use both Windows & Mac.

                                          My first idea was to look for an application that I could use both on Mac and Windows to sync with my Synology nas. That one automatically gets synced with a friends nas every night. I rather keep my data only on those two.
