MacLinkPlus Deluxe v14.000 is Out

and available from DataViz. New in v14:

1. New File Translators! Recognize, view and translate files from our extensive translator list which now includes support for Word and Excel 2003 for Windows, Word and Excel X for Macintosh, WordPerfect 10 and 11 for Windows and much more.

2. Create Translation Settings. Do you have contacts that require you to send files to them in a specific format? Let MacLinkPlus know about the person who should receive that file in a Windows format and create a Translation Setting .

3. Integration with the OS X Address Book. Automatically translate and e-mail files to Windows users. Send a translated file to a contact within your address book in one simple step! If you are using Mail or Entourage X, MacLinkPlus will automatically launch your mail program and put the attached file in the body of the e-mail!

4. New, Easier Aqua Interface (as shown above). Powerful yet simple, MacLinkPlus Deluxe has been redesigned to implement new OS X technology and will continue to deliver the reliable experience you expect from DataViz.

5. Access MacLinkPlus from Contextual Menus. Need to quickly translate a file in OS X? Control-Click and convert - that's it. You can access such powerful options as Quick File Info, Quick Preview, Translate, Translate to Setting, and even Translate and Email to send a file immediately to any of your contacts in your Address Book!

6. QuickTips for unsupported files. Do you ever receive files with a "blank" icon? New QuickTips have been added to MacLinkPlus Deluxe 14 to tell you important information about the files and give you helpful steps to open them. Even if they are files MacLinkPlus cannot translate, QuickTips can offer other advice to work with the file.

7. AppleScripts for the Power User. MacLinkPlus Deluxe 14 continues to tap into the Power of AppleScript, allowing you to automate those redundant tasks. It is fully scriptable, or you can use any of the sample scripts to increase your productivity and save time. Imagine dropping a Windows file into your documents folder and having it automatically convert to your favorite word processing format!

Buy for $79.95, upgrade for $39.95.
