We’re proud to announce version 1.1 update of Cashculator. The update covers many of the most requested features and some more:

• Category icon selection – you can now select an icon for each category, edit them or import new icons.
• Support recurring events on certain months only – now you can make a recurring transaction that will occur once every two, three or other number of months.
• Support for cents – For users who take their budgeting seriously, we now have the option to display income and expenses with cents without rounding them. This feature can be activated from View menu. Internally, all is saved with cents now.
• Saving your entry history – When you add several transactions to the cell, not only the total sum of them is saved, but the value of each transaction is saved as well. For example if you spent $100 for groceries and later spent additional $50, just by pressing “enter” on the cell you will be able to see that the spending of 150 on groceries consists of 100 and 50.
• Automatic Backups – Your personal Cashculator data is now backed-up before each launch of the application.
• Support for larger amounts – Cashculator now supports very large amounts and will autosize the columns in the table to fit them.
• Better locale support – Numbers will now be displayed according to locale settings in tables and in sidebar (with correct thousands and decimal separators)
• Bug fixes

Just simple numbers: income and expenses.

Cashculator is the simplest way to manage your finances. Like a spreadsheet, Cashculator is very visual and straightforward. Built specifically for personal finance, Cashculator improves upon a spreadsheet by supporting budgeting, easy “what-if” scenarios comparisons and more.

Main Features:

• Have a high-level overview of your historic spending and income

* English and French

* Mac OS X Version 10.5 or later

A crashing bug was reported by David Zizza in the variations drawer handling. David also suggested a small usability feature regarding loading variations. Here’s the changelog:

• Fixed: a critical bug that caused ImageFramer to crash when working with variation that used different frames.
• New: When loading designs into the variations drawer, if they were not named specifically before saving through the variations table, they’ll now be loaded and shown in the table using their file name. If the user did change the default variation name before saving, it will be shown instead of the file name. So both approaches now produces easier variation handling
• Fixed: In french localization, the save setting dialog could become too narrow, causing the buttons on the buttom to collide. Fixed by limiting the minimum width of the save dialog to accommodate the longer french text.

Download the new version from http://www.apparentsoft.com/imageframer/download.

ImageFramer version 2.4.1 is out with the following changes:

• Added new option in File menu to save the image over original image. Defaults to same target image (if tif, png or jpg) and size derived from original.
• Saving to TIFF files now adds ‘.tif’ extension instead of ‘.tiff’

Above changes allow for easy interoperability with other applications that use ImageFramer as an external editor, like Adobe Lightroom. You can now add ImageFramer as an external editor in Lightroom. Then in Photos menu select Edit In > ImageFramer.

Let Lightroom render the file as 8-bit TIF and launch ImageFramer for you. When you add your frame, select File > Save Image… from the menu and it will default to overwrite the original file with the size derived from it as well. The framed image will be nicely stacked (if you chose so) with the original in the Library.
