DEVONtechnologies LLC releases updates for its freeware file find application EasyFind, the Mac OS X services HotService and WordService and launches a brand-new filter service, PDF2RTFService.
EasyFind 3.4.1 displays the results with striped background for better readability and fixes some bugs, and WordService 2.6 adds support for styled text as well as new and revised commands for stripping attachments and links from rich text and for reformatting oddly formatted text. This makes working with WordService in rich-text-aware applications such as TextEdit, Pages or Mail even more comfortable.
Besides activating keyboard shortcuts in Cocoa applications without having to open the Services sub-menu at least once, HotService 2.0 now also makes the Services menu accessible through a new top level menu next to the Window menu. With HotService 2.0, services are now just one click away and not longer buried in the depth of applications’ main menus.
Finally, the brand-new PDF2RTFService 1.0 allows all Cocoa applications that can read RTF files to open PDF, PostScript and EPS files as styled and paginated rich text documents. PDF2RTFService requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger as it makes heavy use of new functionalities in Quartz.
EasyFind 3.4.1 and HotService run on Mac OS X 10.2 or later, WordService needs at least Mac OS X 10.3 and PDF2RTFService requires on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. All four applications/services are immediately available for downloading from www.devon-technologies.com and are free for non-commercial use.
