Web-based creative collaboration
web sharing and messaging around large media files
SeeFile Software has introduced the third generation of its web-based creative collaboration tool, which allows instant web sharing and messaging around large media files. This new, Universal software which runs natively on either Intel-based or PowerPC-based Macs, turns any Macintosh computer into an interactive webserver for those media files, with support for remote access from anywhere on the Internet via standard browsers like Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer.Highlights
* New multi-file and folder upload with drag and drop interface;
* Custom user interface "skins" for SeeFile browser interface;
* Universal binaries for PowerPC G4 and G5 and Intel-based Macintosh computers;
* Leverages CoreData, CoreImage for high imaging performance;
* Dramatically streamlined installation process;
* Full-featured product available from $399;
Apple says:
"The blazing speed of our Intel-based Macs provides a significant performance boost to all Universal applications running natively," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "We're thrilled that SeeFile Software is now shipping a Universal version of its collaborative workflow product so creative professionals can take advantage of the stunning performance of Mac OS X on Intel-based Macs."
The SeeFile 3.0 software leverages the unique capabilities of Apple's Mac OS X software platform and Macintosh hardware to deliver a simple, elegant tool for communication between creative professionals in the print, photography and video communities, and with their clients. As files are updated on the system running SeeFile, the software automatically creates thumbnail and preview images and a browser-based representation of the folder system.

Previous versions of SeeFile required third-party database software to be loaded prior to installation; however, SeeFile 3.0 takes advantage of the Core Data functionality included with Mac OS X to allow both a one-step installation process and rapid, sophisticated metadata handling after installation. SeeFile 3.0 is a free release for owners of earlier versions of the software with an annual upgrade contract, in keeping with the company's "no-surprise" policy.
