Extensis Fetch 1.5

MikeTomTom — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 22:12:48 +0000

Application file:

extensis-fetch-15-img.sit

This is multimedia digital database cataloging software Extensis acquired from Adobe, who in turn had acquired it from Aldus. Extensis later renamed Fetch to Portfolio which went on to be one of the main software products from Extensis.

Compatibility:

Fetch and RAM requirements
- For optimal performance of Fetch, please follow these guidelines:
  - Do not use the MacOS Virtual Memory or any other virtual memory scheme (including RAM Doubler) . These programs can cause a performance degradation in Fetch.
  - When working with large images or catalogs containing many items, Fetch's performance will benefit from additional memory being allocated to the application.
Fetch and supporting System Software
- Fetch 1.5 requires System 7.5 or above. In addition, Fetch makes use of the following system software; for optimal functionality, this software must be installed and active.
  - QuickTime 2.5: This is available with the Fetch installer and must be installed for Fetch to work. Fetch was not designed to work with any version of QuickTime below 2.5.
  - Macintosh Easy Open: This allows Fetch to generate thumbnails and previews for a number of file formats. It comes standard with System 7.5 but must be active to take advantage of it.
  - QuickDraw 3D: This is available with the Fetch installer. It allows Fetch to generate thumbnails and previews of QuickDraw 3D models.

[Note]: Despite the included "ReadMe" documentation stating Fetch requires a Mac OS 7.5 or above, I was able to install this onto Basilisk II running System Software version 7.1 - the installer gave an alert that it required SSW 7.1.1 or later (not 7.5) but allowed me to proceed and install anyway. Seems to run OK on that system.
