Product Description:
iPassepartout is a very powerful Cocoa application for MacOS X that allows you to inspect the content of any kind of file either by dragging a folder/file or by searching for files. iPassepartout lets you see/read/play/select/crop/copy/drag instantaneously, in an unique resizable window, the content of each file, no matter if it is a graphic, audio or movie, text, html or pfd file. iPassepartout lets you quickly inspect kinds of files like pdf, jpg, png, tif, pict, icns, bmp, photoshop, gif, tga, mp3, aif, wav, mpg, mov, avi, txt, rtf, rtfd, doc, html, and more.
Also iPassepartout lets you performs special actions on the file list, like exporting all the images with custom size, resolution, graphic format and background color, or like exporting all the unique icons from the selected files.
iPassepartout is the ideal tool to search and browse within large archives like email, newsgroup, source code, common text, articles, pictures, movies, songs,... and is greatly helpful for searching works requiring intensive interaction (search/select/copy/paste) with text, graphics, audio and movies. According to most of its users, it can replace the Find command in the Finder and the application Preview of any Mac computer.
Passe-partout (pronounced "pass-par-two") is a french word meaning "the universal key that opens all the room in a Hotel". That's iPassepartout for files.
iPassepartout is available even as a lite version managing Text files only.

Great program - Version: 1.2.0, 9/4/2005 12:42PM PST

I had used iPassepartout 1.1.0 for more than a year. I found it invaluable in that it not only found files based on filename and/or content, but also displayed the content so that I could tell if I had REALLY found what I was looking for.
Tiger's Spotlight is pretty good too, but by comparison it is lacking when it comes to being able to tell whether what was found was REALLY what you wanted to find.
I'm therefore very glad to see this 1.2.0 version of iPassepartout for Tiger--which is a free upgrade, by the way, for registered users of 1.1.0 (copy the old registration file to the new iPassepartout folder).
Installed and working fine. No problems so far.

I wonder that nobody detected, that iPassepartout hangs, when a GIF-File with a transparent background is to display (spinning beachball)...!
I mailed this to Softobe and hope it will be fixed.

In brief: a clean uncluttered interface, speed, and excellent previews. For straight filename searches it beats Spotlight into a cocked hat: an unambiguous list of filenames containing or matching the search term appears in seconds. Items in the list can then be acted on in a number of ways: opened, revealed, trashed, removed from list etc.
iPassepartout will also do reasonably fast content searches in all the formats checked in its preferences. And all this without any dependency on an index.
The jewel in iPassepartout’s crown however is that for many of the found items, a full size preview of the file content is shown when they are selected. Images are displayed to fit, Illustrator files are shown at full size but can be panned, and many text files are shown fully formatted or, if iP does not have access to the format, as text dumps. While these previews are iP’s major selling point, expanding the range of known formats is also where there is the greatest need for improvement. I also agree with other posters that search terms should be highlighted in text.
Finally, it amazes me that Softobe have sold any licenses at all, thanks to their absurd demo crippling system. It is quite impossible to test properly with the demo, but pester them for a limited-time license and you may well be hooked.
