Ubercaster 1.6.0
Übercaster is an all-in-one app for recording live podcasts. It features auto ducking, effects, chapters for enhanced podcasts, ID3 tags, album cover art, mp3/AAC/AIFF encoding and more.
What’s New
- German localization.
- New native Skype panel.
- New feature: Single event export from cut layer.
- To export a single event from cut layer to hard disk (including volume and effects), right-click (ctrl-click) the event and choose “Save Event as…” from the context menu. You may also drag and drop one or more events out of the cut layer to your hard disk.
- New “Level Meter” panel.
- This is a a special panel which displays the level of any panel or the master out. You can add as many level meter panels as you like to your project. The panels are resizeable on the Prepare layer. Configure which panel’s level you’d like to display in the “Display” subview of a level meter panel. When creating a new level meter panel while a Mic or Clip panel is selected, the new level meter panel will be configured to inspect the previously selected panel by default.
- Added support for Amazon S3TM upload.
- Mic panels now always show the used input device, even when the user set a custom panel name.
- Improved Undo handling with volume nodes.
- Delete events after “Select All” on cut layer now alway deletes all chapter marks.
- Übercaster can now handle moved referenced audio files.
- Übercaster tries to solve all invalid file references in a project document automatically. In case the automatic resolving fails (e.g. a referenced file is deleted or on a unreachable volume, or if the project wasn’t saved with v1.6 at least once) the user can now choose to search for a file manually or to skip it.
- The show notes fields can now handle variable tokens.
- Übercaster now supports show notes in the ID3 lyrics tag.
- New variable token on Release layer: “Derive Content”.
- This token copies the content of the same field in another slot. There are two variants: “Derive content form first slot” and “Derive content from previous slot”. You can change this with the token’s context menu. Default is “Derive content form first slot”.
- Improved “Duplicate Slot”: When choosing “Duplicate Slot” on the Release layer, Übercaster now uses the “Derive Content” token, when possible.
- Improved handling of “Publishing date”.
- There are now several presets available through a new popup menu: “Date of Project Creation” takes the “Create Date” of the projects file, “Date of Project Release” (default) sets the date to the actual date before releasing, “Manual Date” let the user set a fixed date manually. In addition to these three presets, it’s also possible to set “Copy from first Slot” resp. “Copy from previous Slot”. Although currently the exact publishing date is only used when releasing a podcast to Podshow, the ID3 tag “Year” and all “Date”-Token values are based on the publishing date of the slot!
- The show notes edit fields have now scrollbars (if necessary).
- New “Reveal” button next to the release destination popup.
- More sample rate and bit rate options for AAC encoding.
- New: Copy Autopilot topics to clipboard.
- When selecting the Autopilot panel on the Prepare layer and choosing Edit > Copy, all topic titles are copied to the pasteboard as text. In case of duplicate topic titles, only the first appearance of the topic is copied. If a topic was started in the show (i.e. a chapter mark for the topic exists), the time of the topic’s start is appended to the title.
- New keyboard shortcuts for playhead movement, zoom and track selection.
- Left/right arrow key: move playhead one minor ruler tick, option-left/right arrow key: zoom out/in horizontal, up/down arrow key: select previous/next track (Cut layer only), option-up/down arrow key: change track height (Cut layer only).
- GUI fixes concerning .Mac/MobileMe.
- AUEdit windows now correctly resize when the content changes.
- (e.g. when switching the AUGraphicEQ from 30 to 10 band)
- Fixed a GUI glitch on Cut layer: The Master track now hides the volume line, when frozen.
- Fixed a bug concerning “Punch & Insert” on the Record layer.
- When doing a Punch/Insert recording, ÜC now always starts recording properly at the In-point.
- Fixed: Tokenfields (text fields handling variable tokens) on the Release layer now handle copy&paste correctly.
- Saving projects with unsolved resource paths is now non-destructive and more robust.
- Fixed a bug causing “ValueForUndefiendKey” errors.
- Fixed: Topics without title caused an exception during parsing for URLs.
- Fixed an error in calculating envelope curves of Mic Enhancer settings.
- Fixed a problem with Übercaster’s built-in crash reporter.
- Fixed a crashing bug on Mac OS X 10.4.11.
- Fixed an issue with locked/frozen tracks and the disabled state of the respective panels on Prepare layer.
- Fixed several issues with copying, cutting, pasting and duplicating panels on the Prepare layer.
- Fixed a GUI refresh issue on prepare layer (set keyboard shortcut).
- Fixed a validation glitch in the “Add Panel” popup menu (concerning Audiochat Panels when PleasantConnect isn’t installed).
- Fixed fade in/fade out routines to work as expected with Mic panels, Skype panels and Audiochat panels.
- Fixed a bug concerning “exhaustive keyboard shortcuts” (”-[NSCFDictionary isEqualToString:]: unrecognized selector…”)
- Fixed several bugs in AAC file tagging.
- Fixed several bugs concerning projects with frozen tracks.
- Fixed an issue causing new documents, created from templates, didn’t show up in the “Open Recent Documents” menu.
- Switched to most recent version of ConnectionKit.
- Switched to most recent version of LAME encoder (LAME 3.98.2).
- Several minor bugfixes.

GrandPerspective 1.0
GrandPerspective is a small utility application for Mac OS X that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file’s size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.
What’s New
New functionality:- Added a customizable toolbar, including new controls:
- Added control for changing the focus (which previously could only
- be done using the keyboard or scrollwheel).
- Added new “Open with Finder” action (not to be confused with
- existing “Reveal in Finder” action).
- Improvements to the appearance of the view window:
- Moved info about selected item to statusbar.
- Removed borders around view.
- Not showing rectangle around outermost item in the selected path unless necessary.
- Positioning newly opened view windows so they cascade.
- When creating a derived view window its size matches that of the
- original window.
- Sorted the available tests in the “Edit Filter” window by name.
- Sibling directories are scanned depending on their creation date
- (oldest first). This deterministic ordering is particularly helpful
- when scanning an entire TimeMachine backup as hard-linked files
- will be included in the backup where they first appeared.
- Made selection automatically stick to end-point when reaching a
- file after moving selection down a level.
- When resizing the window the view is still being shown.
- Added keyboard shortcuts for zooming.
- Added menu item for visiting the GrandPerspective website.
- The selection only follows the mouse when the view window has main
- status.
- Now also setting hardlink and package status for root of scan tree.
- Showing an alert when an invalid date value is encountered when
- loading scan data.
- Alerts created by a view window are now all shown as sheets of that
- window.
- Moved horizontal drawers away from the window’s left edge.
- The initial size of windows and the color gradient for drawing
- rectangles in the view are now taken from the user defaults.
- Moved description of file type in Focus panel from separate text
- field to tooltip of the file type identifier.
- Included workaround for bug #2243134 (crash while scanning NTFS
- mounted filesystem).
- Coloring by Level would end up in endless loop for packages at
- level zero when package contents were hidden. Not anymore.
- Aborting a drawing task that was just about to complete could
- result in premature aborting of next task. Not anymore.
- Closed Edit Mask windows would reappear when the application
- got activated again after reactivation. They now remain hidden.
- Renamed FileItem -isSpecial to -isPhysical (and inverted meaning)
- Simplified abortion of background tasks (removed enabled state
- from TaskExecutor).
- Moved zoom and focus functionality to DirectoryView.
