Despite the availability of some popular third-party clients, most iOS users prefer the official Twitter app for iPhone and iPad. Although the app has always had a rather simple interface, it offers all the features that make sure you don’t have to keep visiting the web version of the service again and again. So, even though most iOS and Android users were fine with the app’s interface, it has been updated to showcase some major UI changes (specially in the iPad variant) and the profiles appear in a new way as well. Instead of coming up with the same, old profile view, you now get a banner-styled display picture on all profiles. Another new addition is the photo stream, which arranges all the photos shared by the user in one list. Read More

Hekasoft Backup & Restore: One Place To Keep All Your Browser Profiles Saved

Internet browsers are perhaps the most used programs on any computer these days. Opening the browser is the first thing that almost all of us do after turning on the computer. Initially, since there was no concept of a browser profile, there wasn’t a need for any type of browser backup. As technology advanced, our requirements and the dependencies on the internet increased. New browsers the likes of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera came out brandishing several features, which were not available in Internet Explorer at the time. More options meant a greater possibility to customize the browser according to your personal requirements. However, in the event of a system wipe, all customizations used to get lost or could not be transferred. That’s where browser backup programs and extensions came in. They allowed users to keep a copy of their profiles backed up, and restore them when needed. Today, we have an application called Hekasoft Backup & Restore, which not only lets you back up and restore profiles of multiple browsers from a unified interface, but those of software like Thunderbird, FileZilla, Mozilla Calender/Sunbird and Pale Moon as well (Internet Explorer not supported).

Slider Widget, as implied by its name, is a handy 4x1 homescreen widget for Android that presents you with various sliders to manually adjust the levels of your device’s brightness and different volume settings. The widget comprises six different buttons, using which you can control your device’s screen brightness, ringtone volume, music volume, notification volume, alarm volume and the overall system volume of your device. Tapping any of the aforementioned buttons on the widget reveals a slider that can be used to manually adjust the corresponding levels of the selected component. The brightness slider carries an additional option of letting you enable the automatic brightness mode with a mere tap. The ringtone slider, apart from letting you adjust volume levels accordingly, contains a couple of thresholds so that you can easily put your device to silent as well as vibration mode. Don’t fancy swiping on the slider? You can use your device’s hardware volume keys to adjust the levels as desired. In addition, the widget also offers you the option of binding the notification and ringtone volumes together so that you do not have to adjust both said volumes individually when the need of doing so arises. The widget also lets you use each of its buttons as a separate toggle, so that you can instantly switch between any two predefined values/levels of a selected category. On the customization front, you get the option of adjusting the widget’s on-screen appearance by modifying the slider position. Read More

ImBatch: Create And Save Batch Image Resizing & Renaming Tasks

If you have got multiple photos at your disposal and you want to resize them to a specific size, then it would be downright foolish to resize each image one by one.  Alternatively, you can try image resizers, specifically designed to perform the said task in batch. Last year, we covered a batch image converter named Photo Magician, which could be used to apply multiple predefined configuration profiles, based on resolution and device, to the image conversion process. Even though quite useful, the application was limited in the sense that you could not save custom configuration profiles. Well, i found this great new software, which might sort this out. Labelled as ImBatch - it's a batch image resizing and renaming application that lets you create and save multiple conversion tasks. You can define the Width, Height, DPI, File Name, File Type, Folder etc. of a conversion task, and save it to use it later on another batch of images. ImBatch can handle a massive number of image formats such has BMP, PNG, RLE, TIF, TIFF, GIF, JPEG etc. Read More

If you’re an avid Firefox user, you must have created and tweaked multiple profiles using default Profile Manager. As of now, Firefox 4 (which is still in beta phase) comes without a profile manager and one for earlier versions doesn’t offer options to organize multiple profiles, as one can only create, delete or rename existing profiles. Another big downside is that it requires user to follow a lengthy procedure for backing up and restoring profiles. ProfileManager is a 3rd party portable application developed by JGriffin to help user manage multiple profiles of different installed Firefox versions with ease. The application provides a simple way to backup and restore Firefox profiles. According to the developer, since Firefox 4 users wont have any profile manager, this application would make managing profiles easy for all future releases. Read More
