DEVONnote, service updates
DEVONtechnologies yesterday updated its intelligent notebook application--. DEVONnote 1.8 offers a new option to float main windows above all other windows, easing the drag-and-drop process from other applications and allowing whole groups to be dragged to the Finder. The update allows sorting items by comment, and the contextual menus of text views provide a "See Selected Text" command that lists other notes in the database related to a selected text passage. Document packages such as Keynote or OmniOutliner files are correctly imported as a whole, and double-clicking opens them in the default application for their type. Version 1.8 improves the overall accuracy of "See Also" as well as "Classify," and the application is further optimized for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger providing greater speed and stability. DEVONnote requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, and is available for $20. The update is free for all registered users.
CalcService 3.2--which evaluates calculations within any Cocoa application--bypasses a bug in Mail 2.0 that disables most services within Mail, and fixes a bug in the evaluation of exponential terms.
HotService 2.2--which moves the services menu from the application menu up to the top level of the menu bar to make it more easily accessible--reduces the Services menu to a bullet to save menu bar real estate, and initializes the menu faster.
