FolderGlance has been updated to version 1.7.0

What’s new in this version:
Sort order can be further customized. For instance, applications can now sort before folders, or files can appear before both folders and applications.
The target folder for a move/copy/make alias operation can now optionally be opened after starting the operation.
Invisible files’ icons now appear slightly dimmer than regular file icons.
A memory leak has been fixed.
Custom folders and custom “open with” folder now work with all paths, including paths containing accented letters or other “funky” (including Norwegian…) letters.
Trailing slashes no longer appear after custom folder items, and the main hard disk is now shown using its name, rather than just a “/”.
The preference panel now has a tab with some brief tips on FolderGlance usage.

Interesting concept: Click their bookmarklet while you’re visiting a site with an RSS feed and from then on you receive email containing new postings.
This works so well that I’m considering dumping all the other ways I read RSS and just sticking with this.

This is what I’m looking at right now. For a change I see a UK media site where you don’t need to buy a look at a page.

I am experimenting right now with FeedDigest. I’ve posted an experimental page on the site.

Let me know what you think of the concept.

I just saw today that photo Drop has had a minor tweak in its version.

Now you can be warned that the modified images will over-write themselves. You can also select an optimum jpg quality.
