Product Description:

SizeUp allows you to quickly position a window to fill exactly half the screen (splitscreen), a quarter of the screen (quadrant), or full screen via the status menu bar or configurable system-wide shortcuts (hotkeys). Similar to "tiled windows" functionality available on other operating systems.

What's new in this version:

  • New: Adjustable Split Screen and Quarter Screen Partitions!
  • New: Support for sending windows between Spaces (thanks to Tony)!
  • New: Option to resize windows proportionally when sending between monitors of different resolutions
  • New: Center option to resize windows as a percent of the screen size
  • New: AppleScriptability! Use SizeUp to move windows via AppleScript
  • New: Partition (between window) margins
  • Improved: Significantly refactored the window mover code to handle windows with drawers better
  • Improved: Modified behavior when "center windows that don't resize fully" is off to anchor to window edge instead
  • Improved: Menu icon (thanks to Alexander)
  • Improved: License nag changed from every 10 window moves to every 20, but progressively shows more often up until every 5 windows
  • Improved: General text updates in GUI
  • Improved: Handling of windows with drawers
  • Fixed: SizeUp application size was many times larger then it needed to be
  • Fixed: Multi-monitor issue where a window would creep upward when moved multiple times
  • Fixed: Multi-monitor issue where Prev Monitor wouldn't wrap around to furthest monitor
  • Fixed: BBEdit main window not resizing when BBEdit Preview window was open
  • Fixed: BBEdit Preview window contents become garbled on resize
  • Fixed: Scriptwriter window contents garbled on resize
  • Fixed: EyeTV moves but doesn't resize
  • Fixed: GUI typos (probably added some more while I was at it...)
  • Fixed: A few memory leaks
  • Fixed: A bug calculating screen sizes when Dock is on the left with multiple monitors

SizeUp ReviewFull Window Control - Version: 1.2, 6/6/2009 03:59PM PST

Nikachu
A tiny little app that happily sits on on my my menu bar but gets a lot of use with programs like CSSEdit, as I can position the code and preview perfectly on my screen in 2 clicks.

Making Safari full screen is very useful but the best feature is that it once saved me when I copied my pref files from my iMac to my MBP and iTunes 'fell off' the smaller screen. As there was no edge to the window, I had nothing to grab with my mouse. Rather than trash any prefs, all I did was select 'full screen' from SizeUp and everything fitted perfectly into place.

The asking price is what you think it's worth - so hopefully my payment contribution paid for a meal or two for the developer (well - a supersize fast food meal anyway). It is a one trick pony though, so I'd imagine that a lot of skint-flints out there will moan that this should be 100% free.

It's so great when developers can genuinely improve on Apple's superb OS without hindering the speed of the system!
