Flash Decompiler Trillix converts SWF files into FLA, extracts sounds, images, videos, shapes, frames, morphs, fonts, texts, buttons, sprites and ActionScripts from any SWF movie and saves extracted elements into a defined folder on the hard drive.
Pros: Convert SWF to FLA converts SWF to FLA quickly and with quality. Decompile SWF files and obtain source code FLA. Flash Decompiler supports batch conversion now. It is handy when you don’t need to re-do the whole SWF file, just some of its elements. You can easily export some separate elements of a Flash movie and save them to your hard drive. Images, sounds, texts, links, morphs, fonts, shapes, sprites, buttons and ActionScripts can be exported in a variety of formats. Export Flash Video to AVI, MPEG, FLV and FLA, save sounds as WAV or MP3, images – as PNG, JPEG and BMP, texts as RTF, TXT and HTML. Flash Decompiler lets you convert the whole SWF file into FLA, or export certain Flash resources into FLA format
It helps editing Flash movies; easily edit images, sounds, texts, links, colors and lines of any Flash movie. SWF files are edited on the go – alter any of its elements, save and watch the result immediately. Unique Edit SWF capabilities of Flash Decompiler Trillix let you edit sounds, images, colors, gradients, lines, dynamic texts and links even without conversion to FLA. A built-in explorer makes browsing your PC for Flash movies and adding them even for batch decompilation and conversion extremely simple.
Flash Player EXE files are decompiled the same easy way as common SWF files. The application recovers detailed information about the whole Flash movie. All the elements can be retrieved and saved separately like with SWF. For example shapes, images, morphs etc, tracking their placements in frames and sprites as well as saving original names of frames, ActionScripts etc are made available. It supports Flash versions 5 through 9 and the Action script versions 2.0 and 3.0 completely.
Cons: It would be tempting to decompile creations by others and slightly modify and use the rest as one’s own. User needs to be completely aware of the copyright issues to avoid infringement.

RoboTask allows you to automate any combination of tasks on your computer, ranging from simply launching applications, to checking email, moving or backing up files to uploading/downloading, sending email and much more.
Pros: RoboTask can help tasks be done automatically. A task may be simple launching of a program or taking back up of specific files, a specific download etc. Adding power to this is the ability to schedule the tasks or set a recurrence such as every X seconds. One can define a whole sequence of such tasks to be activated in a sequence. What adds further power is the fact the logical controls such as if-then-else- like statements can be used to control the launching of tasks. Highly complex automations, involving conditional IF/ELSE statements, loops, custom variables and other advanced options in addition can be set up.
Scope for automation is wide. Some of these are general actions including running other programs, opening or printing documents, and logging off (which covers a simple user log-off; shutting down all running programs, computer shutdown, shutdown with power off and restart), and dialogs for user interaction. File and folder operations include a folder-synchronization feature , Zip actions for packing and unpacking archives; Internet functions to check for and send e-mail, execute HTTP downloads, and ping hosts; extensive FTP support; and dial-up support. Then there are more actions to create, set and remove RoboTask user variables; loops and flows to provide if . . . then . . . else conditionals; and loops that iterate through the contents of text files or data extracted from SQL queries; and so on.
The user interface consists of a vertical arrangement of panels consisting of a task browser panel divided into a left-hand sub-panel list of folders and a list of the tasks in the selected folder in the right-hand sub-panel. You can run, stop, enable or edit tasks, or save a shortcut to the task on your desktop. The bottom panel is the RoboTask log, which displays information, warnings and error messages.

Fun Search Film is a simple and easy-to-use database software to store and organize your personal collection of films and DVDs. The system is capable to store thousands of films including among other things name, description, category and cover.
Pros: Fun Search Film lets one organize one’s film collection including other DVDs, VCDs etc. Films is a common passion and there is nothing we enjoy more than a quiet evening with a good film. The only catch is that when the number of films in a collection begins increasing, the task of arranging, sorting, classifying and even remembering what we actually have becomes difficult. Fun Search Film is a software specially designed for the film hobbyist and collector.
Such details as film name, description, category and cover image etc can be entered that may relate to thousands of entries. The dimensions on which the whole collection can be organized are actually Category, Country, Language, Subtitles, Actors and Rating. Major utility of any such collection is in how effectively searches can be made. One can combine several of these dimensions to form a search criteria to find items. Finding a film that’s in action category, has English dialogs and subtitles in Spanish can be found right away. Tagging on ratings according to personal taste is possible so that personal favorite can be found easily too. If choosing a film by reading descriptions is a bore one can choose by cover art too. If all else fails the application can draw lots to find a film by playing a film lottery. Sharing with friends and family is easy too.
User interface is not all that superbly organized but is adequate for the purpose, could have been better. It does help enter all the information though.
Cons: Biggest issue with any such organizer is that the more effective search makes it necessary to enter as much information about an item as possible. There lies the dilemma. When adding a title a lot of entries are to be made. So if you postpone entering details, a lot of entries piles up quickly and then they do not get done.

MD, the Medical Diary or Medical journal, lets you chart your glucose values, cholesterol, blood pressure, pulse rates and your weight, all as 3D charts and printouts. It also allows you to keep a journal, or diary and track your appointments.
Pros: The application has two distinct sections. One that keeps medical history of blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure and pulse rates, as well as weight. Historical data can be reviewed as 3D charts or a list. Print out of either is possible. It also allows you to keep a journal, or diary and track your appointments. The journal can be up to 12 pages a day.
Glucose levels can be entered 6 times a day (before/after breakfast, lunch and dinner) and displayed as 3D charts for a week, month or full year. Same for appointments, print them for a month or a full year for complete records. Blood pressure, pulse rates, cholesterol and weight can also be charted in 3D and printed. A large amount information can be stored as much as 8 TB, should anybody need it! Whether you have a chronic illness and need to keep accurate personal electronic medical records, are an active sports person, are trying to track your weight during a diet, or just health conscious, this software is quite suitable. It is easy to use, has help overlays on screen. The help information is right on top of what you are doing and is called up, as well as dismissed, with a single mouse click!
Cons: The user interface is very unusual to say the least. When this operates, no other window/application is available; this application takes over the complete screen. That’s an after effect of creating this as an executable. Thus no normal Windows task window and thus no minimize/ maximize or close buttons. This is one big shortcoming. Navigation on some pages also is difficult. Being an appointments diary too it would be useful to operate like a normal window along with other applications.
