Missing Link 1.9b

Missing Link enables a web browser to be used as a local file launcher. Files, folders, applications, script applications, URL's and a variety of other file types can be opened, launched or run from links on an HTML page - just as if they had been double-clicked in the Finder. I've beta tested earlier versions of ML and I can see where it could be used for many different tasks.

iCal... Make It Happen 1.02

iCalMIH uses iCal to schedule various events/actions. Changes in this version: URLs are now opened with the default browser rather than forcing the use of IE. Fixed a bug that prevented the free version from running. Can now play an iTunes playlist. Can now open a URL. Can import an Outlook-exported calendar. Can now open any external app, script or document. This allows anyone to extend the power of iCalMIH with their own apps.

Mail2iCal 1.1.3 and Mail2iCalTodo 1.0

Mail2iCal exports new email messages from all accounts in Mail to calendars in iCal. They can then be exported to an iPod using iSync. New in this version: Fixed a bug in 1.1.2, where deleting the default calendar would result in an error. Also added a simple means to reset the default calendar.

Mail2iCalTodo 1.0 is also now available from the same developer. This script exports the Reply-To and subject of selected emails from Mail to iCal todo entries in a user defined calendar. The due date is currently hardcoded to 72 hours from receiving the message and X-Priority headers are converted (to some extent).

Safari Enhancer 1.0

Safari Enhancer is an AppleScript Studio application for enabling several hidden features of Apple's Safari web browser. It gives users access to such things as security certificates, font sizes, how Safari identifies itself, and bookmark imports.

Editor's Note: Before you use Safari Enhancer, you might want to visit this site for development and general info about Safari. Dave Hyatt, a member of the Safari development team, mentions one reason that a user might not want to change Safari's UA string (the way Safari identifies itself to web sites). He also mentions some of the changes that will likely appear in upcoming releases. Many of the changes are based on user feedback.
