Conjure Bunny 2.3 improves ...
Conjurebunny today unveiled Conjure 2.3, an update for its replacement desktop front-end, bringing a number of changes related to contacts, Clusters, and Clothesline. Contacts within Conjure are now considered desktop entities, just like applications, folders and files, allowing them to be viewed directly from the desktop level. The upgrade is free for existing v2.x users, while new users can purchase the full version of Conjure 2.3 for $25.

Clusters allows users to group several items together, similar to Stacks in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, but in a more versatile manner. A file can be grouped into multiple clusters if the user so desires, and can be used to hold items such as website elements, files, folders, volumes, and shared network volumes. Clothesline is a momentum based folder navigation system, allowing users to view items visually, and organizing items by flicking them around the screen.It features live scaling, and users can scroll through multiple Clotheslines at the same time. Another new feature of Conjure is the ability to use the trackpad on any MacBook, MacBook Pro, or some PowerBook users to utilize their trackpad in the same manner of the MacBook Air. This allows users to scale, rotate, and zoom graphics.
