FilterTop is an application that allows files to be processed through a series of "filtering" operations. These operations are provided via plug-in modules and are configured by the user via a graphical interface. This is the "promotional" public beta version of FilterTop 1.1, a free product of TopSoft, Inc. This version is fully functional. However, it may not be the latest version. For more information on FilterTop and details on how to obtain the most current version, visit TopSoft's web site at , or email . System Requirements: Any Macintosh computer (except Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512Ke, Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Portable, PowerBook 100, Macintosh Classic) running System 7.0 or later. The A/UX and Mac OS X "Classic" environments are also supported. FilterTop uses the Thread Manager, which is built-in for System 7.5 and later, but requires a separate installation for older Systems. FilterTop does not require the Appearance Manager (built-in for Mac OS 8.0 and later), nor does it require Navigation Services (built-in for Mac OS 8.5 and later), but will take advantage of these features if available (separate installations are required for older Systems). The accompanying FTWindow Carbon application requires CarbonLib (which requires Mac OS 8.6 or later). Older versions of FTWindow that support older Systems are available separately in the "FilterTop 1.1 PB Extras" package. Debug versions of FilterTop require System 7.5 and later.

I had run the QuickTime Updater earlier the same day before the Appearance control panel quit displaying the desktop photo. It had downloaded a file named QuickTime JPEG Update (ver. 5.0.4, Nov 5, 2001, according to Get Info) into the QuickTime Extensions folder in the Extensions folder. Removing it and rebooting cured the problem. The clue was Slide Freebie was no longer able to display JPEG images, but could still show GIFs, and was afflicted around the same time Appearance stopped working correctly.
