Split&Concat 1.4

[today we have a special report from our field correspondent, Sparky, in Botswana]

SplitAndConcat is perhaps a little different than most PerversionTracker fare, because, surprisingly, it can be a useful application if you need to split or — if I can go out on a limb here — concat a file.

However, SplitAndConcat has been waiting to sneak out of PerversionTracker’s “Why Engineers Should Never, Ever Design” archives for some time.

To wit:

1) One of the world’s worst icons (I’m glad all those extensions are packed into the icon — I had almost forgotten what extension an MP3 uses!), and an expertly rendered light-green folder background image, both so god-awful they can actually increase your monthly utility bills.

2) Quite possibly the most egregious and totally-wrong use of the “metal interface” yet seen to date:

That window sure as shit shouldn’t be metal, unless Split and Concat somehow SPLITS YOUR VIDEO CLIPS ONTO YOUR BLUETOOTH PHONE or CONCATENATES YOUR DIGITAL HUB AND YOUR PALM PILOT.

No, I think the problem here is simple: like many Cocoa-programming newcomers these days, the author may have downloaded the Apple Human Interface Guidelines at one point, but he most likely immediately trashed it when he found it full of confusing pictures of windows and interfaces instead of mathematical formulae, open source code, and Linux HOW-TO’s.

-Sparky, who reminds you: OS 10.2.3 only!

Split&Concat — your horrible metal interface is tempered by the potential usefulness of file splitting and concatenation. You receive a 6.1.
