MacMagic

"The program provides the digital publisher, researcher, or anyone who deals with a constant flow of information from a large number of sources, the flexibility to mine data for immediate or archival reference. It is unlike anything that we have reviewed, and rates a best-in-class rating..."

MacMagic(tm) represents the next generation of WebPrint Plus/InfoManager technology. The reason for the name change is that the features and capabilities of MacMagic have evolved far beyond what the already highly rated WebPrint Plus and InfoManager are capable of doing.

MacMagic literally adds so many powerful and easy-to-use features to your Mac -- which work with every program on your computer -- that it can transform the way you work with your Mac. Like magic, MacMagic will increase your productivity and provide you with a new level of control over the information on your Mac and on the Internet (including your email). For example:

MacMagic lets you select, save, and print just the info you want from web browsers (text, pictures, and graphics) eliminating wasting time, ink/toner, paper, and effort dealing with unwanted material. MacMagic also eliminates virtually all browser printing problems, such as getting blank and partially printed pages, and MacMagic lets you filter out ink-intensive ads!

MacMagic lets you select and extract just what you want from PDF files (text, pictures, and graphics) and it lets you create your own text file that contains just the info you want from a PDF file -- even add your own notes to the file!

MacMagic lets you select and print or save just the material you want from any program, including spreadsheets, databases, email clients, chat clients, newsreaders, AOL -- you name it!

MacMagic lets you instantly, and on-the-fly, add notes of any length and/or time-date stamps to anything (text, pictures, and graphics) that you either save or print!

MacMagic lets you instantly select and save or print anything in any program even if the item(s) normally can't be selected and even if items are non-contiguous -- even on-the-fly collect and combine info from multiple web pages/documents/programs (MacMagic is a powerful research tool)!

MacMagic lets you instantly create your own subreports from any database (including Quicken, FileMaker, and Now Contact) and from any spreadsheet (including Excel) -- even add your own notes of any size to your reports!

MacMagic lets you instantly print, save, and edit the contents of the Clipboard and instantly add the contents of the Clipboard to an existing file -- even when the file is closed!

MacMagic also lets you instantly turn the contents of the Clipboard into a new file! (MacMagic essentially gives the Clipboard an unlimited capacity for working with your data and can create an unlimited number of Clipboard files.)

MacMagic lets you select and save or print data from any program even when that program can't print or save any or all of its own data!

These are only some of the almost endless ways MacMagic adds flexibility, power, control, and productivity to the use of your Mac. MacMagic also offers you both multiple and customizable interface options and the ability to access many of its most powerful features system wide via customizable keyboard shortcuts.

MacMagic accomplishes its magic by:

adding powerful system-wide enhancements to OS X that work with every program on your Mac, with any data that's on the Internet, and with any data you can access on a network of any size. With MacMagic, if you can see it, you can save and print all or any part of it! (Note: MacMagic does not modify your system, add files to your system, or affect system stability, and all of MacMagic's files are located in the MacMagic folder.)

enabling you to select anything -- even text and images that aren't normally selectable -- and save or print just your selection(s).

enabling you to automatically combine your selections -- even if they are non-contiguous -- and MacMagic lets you instantly convert any selection from anywhere into a new file or append the selection to an existing file (even when the file is closed).

giving you the option of accessing its powerful tools via system-wide keyboard shortcuts that it adds to OS X, and you can customize these shortcuts.

adding an innovative and powerful contextual menu to your system. Among its many innovative features, it can be dragged to any location, it can be kept open for multiple operations, and it will accept dragged and dropped data (both text and pictures/graphics).

providing you with unprecedented flexibility in how you can choose to use it. Just some examples include giving you a choice of multiple -- customizable -- interfaces to work with, adding a Desktop Printer option to OS X that includes a WebSaver feature for saving selected text and images from anywhere, and the option to use MacMagic as an invisible background utility.

including a file/folder generator that lets you both instantly convert any data -- text, pictures, and graphics -- from anywhere into a new file and add the data to an existing file.

(Since MacMagic files don't need to be open to accept this data, MacMagic minimizes Desktop clutter and eliminates having to waste time tediously switching between programs and copying and pasting data.)

eliminating the need to waste time navigating Open, Save, and Save As dialog boxes -- MacMagic automatically creates and organizes files and folders.

including powerful file management tools that let you instantly duplicate, rename, move, delete, and backup files.

working with data from any source -- including the Clipboard. With MacMagic, you can instantly print the contents of the Clipboard, save the contents of the Clipboard to an existing -- even a closed -- MacMagic file, edit the contents of the Clipboard, and create a new file -- on the fly -- to store the contents of the Clipboard. With MacMagic, you instantly can create and manage an unlimited number of Clipboard files.

creating its files as text files, so they can be opened by all text editors, all word processors, and most other programs that can work with text files.

including a powerful built-in text editor that lets you work with the data you collect from any source and that also lets you create data from scratch -- the text editor also works with pictures/graphics.

If you use your Mac for any type of research (for work, school, or personal needs), or if you print or save info with your Mac (and almost all of us do), or if you use your Mac for email, or if you work with any spreadsheets (Excel, to name just one), or if you work with any databases (Quicken, FileMaker, Now Contact, to name just a few) or if you use a web browser, or if you use AOL, or if you use a chat client, or if you use PDF files etc., etc., MacMagic will make your life easier and more productive.

Additionally:

MacMagic saves you a considerable amount of money by dramatically reducing your use of ink/toner and paper -- with MacMagic, you no longer have to save or print any info that you don't need and web ads that you don't want.

Using MacMagic is good for the environment because it reduces consumption of paper and environmentally unfriendly inks and toner (MacMagic's technology has been endorsed by environmental organizations).

MacMagic can more than double the real-world speed of your printer.

MacMagic includes MacEase's highly rated Print It! technology (accessed from the Tools menu) which provides WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) printing.

Print It! technology also works with the Finder, so it's easy to create Finder lists of anything and print them -- even with your own customized notes added.

MacMagic includes Save It! technology (also accessed from the Tools menu). If you see it, you instantly can select and save it to the Active File or to a new file that you can create on the fly.

Both the Print It! and the Save It! tools can be used to crop pictures/graphics.

MacMagic includes an Auto-Scaling tool that works with the Print It! tool. When selecting an oversized area, the scaling guide provides a dynamic display of the scaling value to use in the Page Setup dialog for printing 100% of your selected material.

MacMagic includes many additional productivity-enhancing features.

The cost savings, productivity enhancements, and environmental benefits provided by using MacMagic are multiplied for schools, businesses, and other organizations that use many computers! (Special site license pricing is available.)

New Features in MacMagic 2.0

A Drawer Display mode has been added, and it supports drag-and-drop both for printing and for saving your data. It also provides full access to MacMagic's other features.

When displaying the list of your MacMagic files, quickly pressing any combination of keys (letters and/or numbers) auto-scrolls the list.

MacMagic's powerful Print It! and Save It! tools now can be accessed via user-configurable (system wide) keyboard shortcuts that MacMagic adds to OS X.

Enhanced windows and graphics have been added throughout MacMagic.

MacMagic's Keyboard Shortcuts window now has an option to print the user-configurable keyboard shortcuts on a specially formatted page (the printout is small enough to easily fit on a Sticky note).

New preference options have been added to MacMagic, including preferences for controlling the functionality of the Desktop Printer that MacMagic adds to OS X.

Option-clicking the Desktop Printer is a new shortcut to access MacMagic's preferences.

Clicking any Active File window is a new shortcut for instantly opening the file in MacMagic's Editor.

An automatic notification system has been added to MacMagic to notify you when an update to MacMagic has been released.

Highlighting any URL in the MacMagic editor that starts with either "http://" or "www." and then holding down the Command-Shift key combination while clicking on the URL launches your Web browser and takes you to the URL.

MacMagic's Editor now remembers its previous location when you reopen it.

With the MacMagic Editor open, double-clicking on any MacMagic file in the File Display window opens that file in the Editor. (Previously, you had to manually close the Editor before being able to view a different file in it.)

When the MacMagic Editor is closed, holding down the Option key while double-clicking on any MacMagic file in the File Display window makes it the Active File and automatically opens the file in the Editor.

A paragraph counting function has been added to MacMagic's Editor's list of text tool functions.

Many additional enhancements have been added to MacMagic.

New Features in MacMagic 1.1

When using Safari, MacMagic now gives you the option of automatically adding a URL stamp when you either save or print any selections from Safari. (This feature works with MacMagic's W/Date Stamp and W/Date+Note buttons.)

The option of automatically adding a URL stamp also applies when you use drag-and-drop to either save or print your text or image selections from Safari.

A new preference item has been added (it's turned on by default) that automatically adds a URL stamp to both printed and saved selections from Safari when using the system-wide keyboard shortcuts MacMagic adds to OS X.
