It gathers information about each file, such as path, name, size, dates, type, creator etc., during indexing. Plus, it has the speed and power of a relational db. Duplicate files can be determined almost instantly based on three separate criteria (name, size and modification date). The database is freeware, and has no locked layouts or password protection. Modify it as you see fit. Needs Jon's Commands free OSAX - see read me. Version 3.7 fixes a recently discovered rare bug that would prematurely stop the indexing process. Error handling is also improved from previous releases. A version that's compatible with the date settings of most European systems is available by email request.

A PowerPC version is also available. Version 2.0 - New features Totally new: Smart Window has been split into Smart Window Agent and Smart Window Remote Control. Smart Window Agent does the "dirty work" behind the scenes; it is a Faceless Background Application (i.e.: it is not listed into the Application Menu) and receives orders by Smart Window Remote Control; the latter must be launched just to set the preferences, launch or quit the Agent and register the application. Using Smart Window Agent As a Faceless Background Application, Smart Window Agent can be launched as any other application: by double-click, using an alias into the Startup Items, invoking it by Finder's "Open" command or via AppleScript/AppleEvent. The only difference between Smart Window Agent and a standard application is the way the Agent can be quitted; to do so, the user must launch Smart Window Remote Control and click on the button "Quit Agent". Considering that Smart Window Agent should always remain active, the user will rarely need to quit it. Smart Window helps the user to navigate the windows during a drag&drop operation. Moving a drag selection over a collapsed window's title bar, Smart Window will automatically expand that window, letting the user choose the drop location exactly (or continue the navigation using the Finder "spring-loaded folders" feature); as soon as the drag is completed or the user moves the drag selection over another window, the auto-expanded window will be collapsed again automatically. If the user moves the drag selection over a partially hidden window and the owning application is in the foreground, Smart Window will put in front that window, letting the user see its content entirely. While dragging over a normal window's title bar, the user can decide to collapse it pressing the Control key or collapse all windows of the application that owns that window pressing the keys Control + Option; depending on the user preferences, at the end of the drag&drop sequence, Smart Window will restore the status of all windows collapsed with one of the keyboard shortcuts. Smart Window is an application that works transparently and does not require a particular installation, so the user will never face extension conflicts.
