Download New Orbiter 1.2.2 – More Stable, New Features

Soon after seeing its 1.2 release, adding fresh color themes, resizable icons, a quick folder view and more, Orbiter has received an update, this time addressing stability issues, fixing a few persistent bugs as well. New features have also been incorporated in this release, such as a fresh Auto-Resize Window feature.

“Orbiter 1.2.2 has been released,” reads a post over at Orbiter Apps. “This update is strongly recommended and addresses stability issues as well as minor bugs reported by our users. One of the first things you'll notice about this update is that it is smaller in size than its immediate predecessor (1.2.1); we were able to do this by analyzing recently added features and rethinking our code,” the developers say. The changes and new features included with this release are listed as seen below.

• New Auto-Resize Window Feature
• Cleaned up & optimized recently added functions (Orbiter is now smaller in size)
• Improved stability and resolved various bugs
• Added new theme-based Mouse Hover effect
• Improved Updates window.

For those that are not familiar with the software, Orbiter acts as a quick launcher for the files, folders and applications you use the most. The app comes in extremely handy to those who need to access many places on their Mac on a regular basis, but don't want too many icons in the dock.

Orbiter's UI allows users to drag in anything from their most accessed directories and applications to a text file, a song or a picture, and access those items with a single (or double) click, without having to use complex Spotlight searches, or worse, use the Finder to locate those items and launch them.

Orbiter also sports a couple of "super powers" that make the software extremely user friendly, such as a "Vanish" feature that makes the app disappear when you don't need it, and “Active Screen” capabilities that let you assign one side of the screen to the program so that when you touch it with the mouse pointer, Orbiter appears.
