DEVONtechnologies (http://www.devontechnologies.com) released a maintenance update for DEVONagent Express to version 3.0.3 and brings its freeware image viewer and web cam utility PhotoStickies to the Mac App Store.

The new version of Express uses a more compact layout when no preview icons are shown, increases the maximum download to eight megabytes, and fully supports 64-bit, which speeds up processing search results on 64-bit-capable Macs. Some internal plug-ins have been improved, too, and so has the encoding and date handling.

PhotoStickies celebrates its 10th anniversary and is now also available in the Mac App Store. In addition to the necessary changes for compliance to the store the freeware image, slideshow, and web cam viewer is now fully 64-bit compliant, faster, and more robust.

PhotoStickies shows images frameless like “sticky notes,” makes simple slideshows from folders of pictures, and displays web cams directly on the desktop. All pictures can be loaded directly from the web, filtered, and refreshed regularly.

DEVONagent Express requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later; PhotoStickies requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. PhotoStickies is available for free in the Mac App Store, and DEVONagent Express sells for US$4.99.
