Macintosh Software Search: Try our fast new search technology  
|
DESCRIPTION

Together (formerly KIT - Keep It Together) is an application for storing, organizing, editing and previewing all kinds of files and can find them again quickly.

Just about anything can be dragged to Together's main window or Shelf for safe keeping. The Shelf is a system-wide window that appears as a tab on the side of the screen, which can also be used to browse and search the library, access favorites items and make quick notes.

Items can be organized into groups and folders. Folders work just like in the Finder, while groups can collect files from different places together, much like iTunes playlists. Items can be color-coded with labels and tagged. Smart Groups do the work of staying organized for you.

Together uses Spotlight to search the contents of all kinds of files as you type. Together can also encrypt documents, imports files in the background to ensure the library is always available and supports multiple libraries. Together can also sync with .Mac.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.1.4:
  • Fixed a problem with AppleScript that could sometimes prevent Together from quitting during system shutdown, opening files dragged to its icon (including printing PDFs) or cause Together to crash for no apparent reason.
  • Fixed a problem where the memory used for viewing images wouldn't be released.
  • Fixed a problem where showing or hiding hundreds of items' file extensions could cause Together to hang.
  • Fixed a problem where the message "An file with this name already exists" message would appear when no action had been taken on that file.
  • Fixed a problem copying text from some Quick Look previews.
  • Files with the .aac extension are will now be imported as Sounds not Movies.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

KADOOGAN  I trialled this for a while, and recently paid to register. To be honest it was one of the easier buying decisions I have made.

I had previously tried DEVONthink and EagleFiler. Whilst DEVONthink is a good piece of software I found it took too long to start up, and it's method of using it's own database to store my files was a big issue for me. Databases can become corrupted so as well as storing all my files in DEVONthink I had to keep the original files as well. Both EagleFiler and Together do not work this way, your files are kept in their original format, so even if you experience a problem with the program your files are still accessible from Finder.

My main reasons for choosing Together over EagleFiler were mainly the user interface, which I find much nicer in Together, and the way it deals with saving emails. EagleFiler seems to keep emails in separate mailboxes which means you can't have them in the same folder as PDF's or txt files, and it's difficult or impossible to access them directly from the Finder (maybe there is a way round this but at this point I found Together which didn't have the issue). Together simply accepts .eml files which it stores in the same folder as all your other docs, or whatever folder you choose.

The one thing I can think of that I would like to see is the ability to zoom into images. At the moment it just displays them as full-size if smaller than the display window, or shrinks them to fit the window if the image is bigger. I'd like to see a button to zoom into a small image to make it increase to fit the window.

Together is a lovely piece of software that makes browsing your documents a pleasure rather than a chore.  (Version 2.1.4)

BILL CLINTON  I'm extremely reluctant to use an organizer such as Together that stores files in its own "way." I know--it stores them in Finder format, but that's not good enough for me. I want to have the organizer be able to bring together files from anywhere on the file system. That way, I get all of the benefits of the organizer (1) without having to worry about accessing the files the normal way and still having them where I would expect, rather than digging through the organizer's own hierarchy every time, and (2) being totally screwed when the organizer is no longer available--AND THAT TIME WILL COME.

Does Together have this capability? Do any of the others?  (Version 2.1.3)

DONPERREAULT  Another great feature is you can edit web archives to remove all the crap not related to the information that is important.

The more I use Together the more I realize Together is far better than all the other similar applications and I have tried most all of them.

Keep up the great work...  (Version 2.1.1)
