MaBaSoft has updated Application Wizard (http://www.mabasoft.net/products/applicationWizard/), a Mac OS X tool that provides access to your applications, document and pictures, to version 2.5.1. The Switch to Finder and Switch to Finder and hide other applications keyboard shortcuts have been added.

To define and enable the new shortcuts, open the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences and click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. Check for updates has been fully revised and lets you now check for updates both manually and automatically.

Application Wizard lets you open, quit, show and hide applications, open them automatically at startup and force them to open using Rosetta, turn single application mode on and quit background-only applications and the Finder. With the software you can also navigate volumes and frequently used folders to quickly open enclosed items, access favorite files, recent folders, Address Book contacts and your iPhoto or Aperture library, preview images, music, movies and PDF files, copy pictures and display slideshows, view the metadata associated with files and check system memory usage.

Application Wizard 2.5 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later and runs natively on PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs. It costs US$19 for a single-user license, though version 2.5 is a free update for registered users.
