Year: 2010

Seagate (http://www.seagate.com) has introduced the Constellation.2, which it says is the industry’s first 2.5-inch enterprise-class hard drive to reach a record 1TB capacity. The Constellation.2 drive is designed for server storage applications and offers 6Gb/s performance.

Houdah Software (http://www.houdah.com) has released a beta version of Tembo, a “friendly” find utility designed to make searching (and finding) of files, mail messages, bookmarks easier.

The final version is headed for the Mac App Store, which is due to launch next month. The folks at Houdah say Tembo is an efficient search tool based upon the Spotlight engine. Specifically, it’s been inspired by the original Spotlight interface as we knew it under Mac OS X Tiger. Search results are grouped by categories. Preferences allow for categories to be enabled, disabled and reordered.

Zevrix Solutions has updated BatchOutput Server (http://zevrix.com/BatchOutputServer.php), an output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign, to version 4.6.3. The new version allows users to reset location of output folder with a click of a button helping save time and avoid redundant steps.

Under BatchOutput Server workflow, production artists and prepress operators simply submit files to hotfolders that reside on the network. BatchOutput Server automatically outputs the files from its dedicated station using hotfolder settings, and will auto-activate document fonts as well.

Obvious Matter (http://www.obviousmatter.com) has updated DiskLibrary, a media cataloging application for Mac OS X, to version 1.9.7. The upgrade lets you export as a tab-separated values file.

Version 1.9.7 also adds movie DVD and audio CD types; you can now search for media types. There’s a new application icon and various bug fixes.
