Stapled is an original utility letting you share your artistic creations in their best quality, at locations previously reserved to photographs
Give it a try ! It’s free.
Open any document with the application : it creates a new document — litterally a picture — rendering a preview of the original document… but a somewhat special picture, that also embeds the original document, at its full quality.
Wherever you put this picture, you also put the original document : the original document has been “stapled” with the picture (hence the staple, drawn on the picture).
When you open back a picture created by Stapled (or a copy of it) into the application : it will magically re-create the original document !
The original document has been “unstapled” from the picture.
What’s new ?
Stapled 2.4 adds a “scrambling” feature.
In previous versions, any stapled document was used “as is” in the generated picture. This never caused any problem until a recent change in the way some protective software (antivirus, a.o.) now handles such pictures.
This version allows the document to staple to be scrambled in the generated picture : you are now able to send them by mail, as before — no more “This message was blocked because its content presents a potential security issue”.
This version is fully compatible with Monterey and uses the latest SF Symbols.
A small Trash icon will let you select back the Trash as a destination for remaining documents, in case you changed it and want to revert to the default location (the Finder, on Monterey, won’t let you select the trash — which makes the previous official method obsolete).
This version also detects when the application is used as a Droplet but the destination of the processed documents was the trash — the application still remains opened after correctly processing the items (disabling the Droplet effect), but now explains the reason.
Last point, but not least, the webservice douwere.com/unstapler has been modified to process files locally : the unstaple process does NOT required any upload to our servers, insuring user privacy (of course, now, it can also unstaple the new scrambled documents).
