GS-Base is a database that lets you store any type of data: text and numeric fields, dates, long text memo fields, files, images, code snippets with syntax highlighting for 16 programming languages.

GS-Base can be useful for both simple applications like organizing your photo collections and extracting any EXIF tags from photos to find photo duplicates or similar photos, playing filtered/random mp3 files, or listing all your disk files, monitoring file changes and adding any type of metadata to files, to clean data, transform using regex, analyze multi-GB data sets with up to 256 million rows.

You can perform both simple and complex record filtering, searching for duplicates, for unique values and frequencies, full-text searches, find-as-you-type, fuzzy searches, searching quartiles, random searches and one-click statistical breakdown analysis. You can use unlimited in-cell charts to spot trends.

You can also analyze very large data sets using pivot tables with up to 256 million rows and 16,384 columns. You can use around 300 built-in calculation function in calculated fields, for data validation, cleaning and conversion. GS-Base can use from 1 to 100 processor cores when updating calculated fields and pivot tables (e.g. Excel: 11 data functions, 1 million rows; GS-Base: 25 functions, 256 million rows, full regex filtering).

GS-Base can filter text/CSV files of any size regardless of the installed RAM. With GS-Base things like performing tables joins, normalizing (splitting) tables, merging records are easy and fast, even for millions of records.

GS-Base can be installed on any portable storage device and used without performing any registry modifications. It requires around 10MB of free space and it's fully offline - no internet connection needed.

Thanks, I'll download and test it ASAP :)

[…]
Note: Also in this version...I don't know if I should keep/remove but atm if the control key is pressed when dropping it will add all without the add dialogs...should I keep or remove?
Sounds neat, if the default settings it adds the button with are all right then I see no reason to remove it.

I noticed one thing myself today...in fixing how the settings are handled the separator goes based on the width of the button not the height in that build 49 when using a custom button layout. I will fix that.

CRAP beta 2.1.0 build 49 should now be able to be downloaded from the CRAP beta download page.

Changes...
Hopefully the drag and drop bugs are fixed.

The start in addition textbox to all non layout link buttons. Along with various other tweaks.

Thanks for all the testing so far as well. :Thmbsup:

Just a FYI...I am currently hoping to get another beta out in the next day or two with those 3 items fixed.

You can also run your own: changedetection.io

Web Site Change Detection, Restock monitoring and notifications.

Detect website content changes and perform meaningful actions - trigger notifications via Discord, Email, Slack, Telegram, API calls and many more.

Combine the above with this:

The program ended up handling multiple Explorer operations: COPY, DELETE, MOVE and RENAME:

AnyCopy_ALPHA02.png

It will likely be renamed to AnyHandler (with a new repo for the expanded interface/functionality).

Currently awaiting ibay770's confirmation to push to GitHub :Thmbsup:

Hello there :)

Today I've tested (on my home computer, running Windows 11 v23H2) adding buttons using the shortcut drag and drop feature, and I've encountered a few issues, some of which seem to be related to the handling of lower/uppercase.

1 - when adding a single button, if the ".exe" part of the icon's name happens to not be entirely in lowercase, then in the main window, the button's icon and caption do not appear.
The button itself can still be highlighted when placing the mouse cursor at its position, the tooltip shows up and the associated program can still be launched.
Changing the button's properties to have the ".exe" in the icon's name be in lower case fixes that issue

2 - when dragging several shortcuts to the main window in order to create the corresponding buttons.
If a single one of those shortcuts has the ".EXE" part of target program's filename written uppercase, then CRAP will open the "Adding New Button" dialogue for each shortcut, until the user confirms the "Add" button for that one shortcut with the uppercase ".EXE", at which point CRAP will basically abort processing the queue: there will be no further window to add the next shortcuts even if more were selected, and the buttons for which the settings were already input will not be added to the layout.

3 - This one isn't related to uppercase vs lowercase file names, but to how some games themselves behave.
A normal Windows shortcut has a "start in" field, which, from my understanding, basically sets the "current folder" before starting the program. This field doesn't appear to exist for CRAP buttons, and so for some programs that need it to be set, they may either fail to run, or try to look for and/or write some files in the wrong place.

1. I have tracked down that bug. At least in my test it works.
2. After I fixed #1 I cant seem to get #2 to reproduce if I have understood correctly.
3. The fix for that will be a "start in" text box in which I can add one. (Update: I have added in.)

Finally got the ZimaBoard yesterday. It's aesthetics I like. I was using an 12+ year old PC as a OPNSense router, but it failed after a brown-out. Managed to get it back up and running and ordered this ZimaBoard as a replacement. I'll use the 4-port NIC from the old system with the Zimaboard instead. I bond 2 internet connections from different ISPs. Forum post told me that people like the Zima gear to act as their router after adding non-Realtek NICs to the unit.

Got the 8GByte one and I have played with the CasaOS that comes with it. It all works decent enough. If you are a bit patient and don't visit intensive websites, It is practically good enough as a replacement for a normal computer. Needed to get a cable that converted the mini display port to a more useful type of connection in these parts of the world. Once I did that, I connected an SSD to the device and that makes quite a positive difference. The SSD had still a Linux Mint installation on it and after the a somewhat lengthy first boot, it booted and worked fine.

As far as I know, Raspberry Pis are much more constrained regarding available computing resources, so how useful those would be for my particular use case, I do not know. A friend of mine abandoned his RPi 2, he's totally into ESP32 devices now. He's making all kinds of measuring devices with those in an attempt to automate his home. He got an ancient massage chair from NL Replaced motors and redid all the electrical logic with an ESP32 instead of repairing what was there, programmed a web-interface in Home-Assistant for that ESP32 device and now he can control that massage-chair via his computer/laptop/phone. Works wonderfully well.

ESP32 can't do much computationally. But they are very versatile. And for the 2 to 3 USD cost-price per unit, much more useful than his RPi2. Especially in combination with Home-Assistant and its 'Node-Red' extension/plug-in.
