Positive Spin Media has announced Pandora 2.5, an update to the media collector's web spider and search agent for Mac OS X. Pandora makes it quick and easy to find and fetch images, movies, media, and more from the web.
This release is a big one: time has been invested in updating the Google Image Search Agent to support extra-large images, file type specification, and image color. Additional work has been done to fine tune memory consumption, and it has been reduced by up to 20%. Finally, a rare bug that would occasionally cause fewer results than expected has been squashed..
Top Features in Pandora 2.5:
* Powerful engine: fast, flexible performance with powerful logging and pause/resume capabilities
* Support for finding and fetching any filetype
* Plug-in architecture: Pandora can be extended to work with any website or search engine, and support authentication
* IPTC support
Pandora can simultaneously perform as many tasks as it's given. Multiple sessions can, at the same time, be performing searches, URL scrapes, or even running through folders on your hard drive, via "Open..." in the "File" menu.
Power Tools for the Power User:
Pandora's preferences allow users to specify various filtering options such as minimum file size, file type, safe Google(TM) search and more. Users can also choose where Pandora stores files on their hardrives and even make sure files are clearly represented with a thumbnail icon a la Photoshop.
Pandora is $29.95 (USD), and works as a demo until unlocked with a purchased registration code. Upgrade licenses (from 1.x) are available for $10 (USD).
