Image Shackle 1.1 Image Scaler
Quickly and easily scale images with Image Shackle. Drag an image onto the widget and it is scaled to the desired size that you type in or select with a slider.
There is no need to open a full-featured program such as Photoshop every time you want to make a simple size adjustmant to a picture. Image Shackle lets you resize an image quickly. Whether you are wanting to throw an image up on myspace or print out your latest party pic, Image Shackle is the easiest way to make your photos the right size.
Using Image Shackle
• Click and hold on an image from the desktop or finder and then press F12 (or F8 on some iBooks) on the keyboard to reveal your dashboard. Drag and drop the image into Image Shackle.
• The proportions are always kept. The slider will allow you to scale the image to whole numbers, but if you want an exact height or width you can type it in.
• Check the preference on the back to convert shackled images to JPG. When converting an image with transparency (PNG, GIF or PSD) into a JPEG the transparent areas will be turned to white
• Your shackled image will be placed in the same folder as the original but ".shkl" will be added before the extention. This makes it easier to find them later. The size of the image will also be added to the filename.
• The widget also serves as a tool for calculating ratios and constraining proportions for images that you don't want to scale with the widget.*
• Image Shackle is only designed to work with one image at a time.
• The following file types are supported and must have the proper extension: JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PSD (they will be flattened), PNG, PICT, BMP
• If you try to shackle an image from iPhoto, the file will be saved to the folder that the original was in but will not be imported into iPhoto. Instead, export the image from iPhoto at the desired size, or drag the image from iPhoto to the desktop before shackling it.
(* )This widget replaces and adds functionality to the old Ratio Shackle widget.
New in version 1.1:
• Now resize an image to pixels OR inches (click on 'px' to change to inches).
• auto-update support
• You can now donate a small gift securely via Paypal (all major credit cards accepted). Your donations will ensure future Image Shackle updates

Windbuoy 0.95b
Windbuoy is a simple customizable widget that retrieves and displays wind speed, direction, and gust as well as air temp as reported by any one of hundreds of NOAA buoys. Speeds can be reported as m/s, knots or mph; temp as celsius or fahrenheit.
New in version 0.95b:
• Persistance!! Many, many of you asked for this one. You can now save your fav buoy and preferred units. Now, each time you fire up Windbuoy it will default to your desired buoy. Just check the “Save as Default” box on the back of the widget before you click the ‘Done’ button.
• The second most requested change: Windbuoy now displays wave height (wvht) and water temp (wtmp) — but only if the data is available.
• Integration with the Windbuoy Google Maps
• Finding a buoy is as easy as clicking on the map!! (click ‘Find a buoy near me’ on the back of Windbuoy widget)
• See other buoys nearby (click the Buoy Name on the front of the widget)
• More robust data retrieval — should make the widget a bit more responsive, especially for the more popular buoys.
