Run Applications In Sandbox Using Evalaze Application Virtualization

by on

Want to quickly deploy an application suite across a large network or make it portable to keep installation files confined to single location, so you can carry the application on flash drives? Previously covered application visualizers Cameyo and Enigma Virtual Box has proved to be powerful in making installed applications portable. Since application virtualization utilities do nothing except capturing all the settings, DLL files, XML, INI and respective registry entries of applications which you want to virtualize, you must be looking for a virtualizer which can thoroughly scan the system for all the drives and registry hives to fetch all the associated data of application which is being virtualized. One such application virtualiztion tool is Evalaze. The workability revolves around scanning the system right before installing the application (which you want to capture) and post-scanning for capturing data of application you have installed. Once the data is captured, you can launch the application without having to worry about any sort of versions conflicts, bloated registry hives, and other damages. One nice example would be of virtualizing MS Office products. For instance, with Evalaze, you can virtualize different versions of MS Office application, Excel 2003, Excel 2010, Word 2007, PowerPoint 2010 and use them without facing any conflicts. Read More

Use Hotkey To Hide Icons From Mac Desktop And Change Wallpaper

One feature of Fences (a popular tool for Windows) is to organize desktop icons. The faeture I like the most is its ability to quickly hide all the desktop icons to take screenshots and sometimes, just to hide all the clutter scattered on the desktop. Sadly, Mac users are still devoid of Fences, thus badly need a software which can provide even half of what Fences brings to Windows. Clean Slate is however not comparable to Fences in terms of features and desktop organizing options, but certainly comes useful for those who would like to quickly clear up desktop for giving presentation, taking screenshots without adjusting icons manually, and for sharing desktop over network with somewhat tidier look.

RAW and BMP, despite being the widely used image formats, are arguably the most difficult formats to handle and process.

Photivo is one such massive open source tool that contains hundreds of processing techniques to handle almost all image formats, including both RAW and BMP, in a non-destructive 16 bit pipe. Before going into details, it is worth noting that it integrates GIMP workflow mechanism to provide powerful processing with a facility to send modified photos directly to GIMP for further re-touching.
