Filee
Free, open-source file converter: 263 formats, offline, drag and drop
Filee is a free, open-source file converter for Windows, macOS and Linux. Hold a key while dragging files and a ring of presets (the donut) appears at the cursor: drop the files on one and they're converted on your own PC. Nothing is uploaded. It handles 263 formats: pictures, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Korean HWP/HWPX, Chinese OFD, video, audio, e-books, archives, CAD drawings, 3D models, maps and more. The engines it needs come bundled or are downloaded on demand from their official sources. Presets can resize and compress, add a watermark, page numbers or a password to PDFs, remove metadata, fit a file under a size limit for email or chat, and replace the original. Watch folders convert new files on their own, and a "filee" command does the same from scripts. The interface speaks 16 languages. MIT licensed; Windows releases are code-signed. -

AviTab
X-Plane plugin that displays a tablet to aid VR usage
AviTab is a plugin for the X-Plane flight simulator. It displays a tablet-like computer with a few apps in the cockpit. It is mainly used for flying in virtual reality. When flying in a simulator, one often needs to look up details in PDF charts, plane manuals, checklists or other documents. Using a PDF reader breaks the immersion because the virtual aviator either has to take off of their HMD or use other tools that can move windows into VR. AviTab tries to solve this problem by offering a PDF reader inside a native plugin for X-Plane. Using a plugin also opens possibilities for more apps inside the tablet, for example, to display information about the plane status or aid in navigation. When hovering over the edges of the tablet from a short distance, X-Plane will display green bars around the tablet. The upper bar can be used to grab the window and move it around inside the cockpit. -
