Rorohiko ("Slash the time it takes!") has a number of cool plug-ins for InDesign users that slash the amount of time it takes to get something done! In this episode we take a close look at their new Mac/Windows utility called
Soxy ($19 US) that helps you open files (InDesign, and others) in the correct version of the program when you have more than one version installed. Special for InDesignSecrets listeners: Use the coupon code INDESIGNSECRETS113 (that's "one one three" at the end) in the Rorohiko.com store to get 25% off the Soxy utility.
