Washington, DC – KavaSoft has released HyperImage 2, an application for downloading web photo galleries. There are millions of images on the web, but how do you download them without clicking on them one at a time? HyperImage is the solution: an industrial-strength tool for downloading entire websites worth of pictures all at once. Just point HyperImage to any website, and watch as thousands of pictures stream down to your computer.

Enter the address of a website, and HyperImage will crawl every page and download every image. HyperImage 2 now includes a built-in image browser with infinitely resizable thumbnails, so you can easily browse through all the pictures from a particular page or website. You can even show a full-screen slideshow of images as they are being downloaded.

HyperImage 2 takes advantage of metadata features in Mac OS X Leopard to store the original addresses of downloaded images, as well as the pages they came from. New menu commands open the selected images in your web browser, or show them in their original context.

HyperImage is highly customizable. You can download all the images you want, but ignore the ones you don’t want. You can filter images by name, kind, file size or resolution to skip over buttons, banners and thumbnails. You can also control whether HyperImage follows links in the same folder, the same site, or the same domain. HyperImage lets you download the images you want no matter how the target website is organized.

HyperImage is hyper-threaded, so it downloads images fast using multiple connections. The activity viewer shows you which images are currently being downloaded, what’s in the queue, and what’s been downloaded. It also shows you which images were skipped – and why they were skipped, so you can fine-tune your download preferences.

HyperImage even works with gallery websites that require a login, such as pay-per-content and adult-themed sites. It automatically uses account settings from your keychain, and sends cookies from your browser. Any site that works in your browser works with HyperImage.

HyperImage can easily download a series of consecutively numbered images. For example, enter IMG_0001.jpg through IMG_9999.jpg, and HyperImage will automatically download every file in between. You can also download images from several different galleries or websites by entering a list of addresses. HyperImage takes advantage of the Services menu to let you start downloads from other programs, such as your web browser.

Pricing and Availability:
HyperImage is available for $25 (USD). You can try it for free, but images downloaded with an unlicensed copy will contain a watermark. HyperImage is a universal binary and runs on Mac OS X Leopard.

Orlando, FL – Elixir is happy to announce a new RapidWeaver theme and an Extreme Bundle promotion. The Extreme Bundle includes all of Elixir’s themes (a value topping $225) for $54.95 for a limited time. The Extreme Bundle includes their latest theme that is being release along side this bundle.

Save a bundle!

Elixir users often ask for a bundle package which includes all of our RapidWeaver themes packaged together. In the past we’ve seen this as a problem for two reasons. The first reason being that as we add themes to the site the bundle’s contents would vary, making it hard to keep up with when sending out updates. The second reason being that the price would be, even at a discount, quite high. The first problem has been solved for the most part through the use of e-junkie’s logging and our updater applications. The second though was a tough one. So, we decided to offer all our themes at a huge discount but to do it for a very short period of time.

The Extreme Bundle will be offered for 3 days only. It includes every theme we have for sale, including our new release that also comes out today (for more information read below). This package at retail value would certainly top $225. For the next three days you’ll be able to purchase them all for only $54.95.

We won’t be offering this deal again for a long time. So if you’re interested in getting it, don’t hesitate. Included in the bundle you’ll also get a text file with a coupon code to our sister site Icon Lab for 50% off of your entire purchase.

Dive in

Now that you know about our ‘little sale,’ We’d like to introduce you to our latest RapidWeaver theme – Aqua. Aqua is a fresh looking, stylish theme, perfect for a small business site, personal portfolio, blog, and so much more.

Aqua is our first theme offering a split navigation system with the main level of navigation along the top, is stylish folded tabs and the secondary (2nd and 3rd levels) in the sidebar. Aqua also features a ton of professionally crafted backgrounds and background overlays, as well as a variety of header images. Aqua truly makes creating a stylish, professional site, an easy task.

Seattle, WA – Candywriter, the developer of the naughty Zit Picker, today showed its nice side with the release of Doodle Bug, the first accelerometer-based drawing app for iPhone and iPod touch. Gentle tilting of the device enables Doodle Bug artists to coax a paintbrush-carrying ladybug around the screen.

At a Doodle Bug artist’s disposal is a wide spectrum of ink colors and the ability to adjust the bug’s size and speed. Clever screen placement and use of transparency allows tools to be tucked away in “drawers,” thereby allowing an artist the reign of the entire iPhone screen as his or her canvas.

Doodle Bug is designed to provide a challenging yet entertaining mobile doodling experience for all ages. Doodle Bug artists are encouraged to submit their finished works for placement in the app’s online gallery.

Key Features:
* Accelerometer-based drawing
* Change the color, size, and speed of Doodle Bug as you wish
* Drag and drop Doodle Bug to change locations instantly
* Touch your screen with two fingers for invisible ink
* Auto-save feature allows you to resume your doodle at anytime
* Save your doodles to your photo library
* Relaxing music and interface

Pricing and Availability:
Doodle Bug 1.0 for iPhone is only $0.99 (USD) and available exclusively through Apple’s App Store.
