General Software Discussion / Windows 7 History

« on: June 26, 2013, 08:28 AM »

This isn't something that especially concerns me personally, but it came up in discussion elsewhere so I thought I'd post and see what you all have to say about it.

People seem to be having problems accessing/viewing their W7 history - the folder in Users\...\AppData that sorts recent items into subfolders by date and so on. I discovered today that I do too - I can't open the folder by any way that I know of, I can only view the contents via the subfolder dropdown in QTTabBar. One person I spoke to can't even see the folder at all.

So I was wondering if anyone's come across this and has a solution? Or better still, knows of a decent third-party app which would run continuously and maintain such a history - files accessed/renamed/deleted and so on. I've had a look at Nirsoft and System Explorer etc, but nothing seems to quite fit the bill.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA - Picture searcher

« on: June 21, 2013, 08:20 AM »

Somebody mentioned this in the Gizmo forum and it seems like such a fantastic idea I thought I'd bring it up here.

Basically, a program (ideally in Windows context menu) which operates like Tineye or Google Image Search but on local hard drives not the internet. You right click your pic, select the search and a target directory, and the prog finds images which are the same or similar.

I have a feeling it's probably way beyond the remit of coding snacks, but I thought I'd mention it anyway...

** My apologies by the way - I posted this first in the wrong place after reading the guidelines and forgetting to come to the right thread. If a mod could be so kind as to delete that one for me.   **

Webcam Video Diary / Love it :-)

This is fantastic! Found it totally by accident while looking for something else, but so chuffed.

I've only managed to find a couple of comparable freeware apps elsewhere, and one had all kinds of fancy FX that I didn't want, while the other, I just didn't like much.

Many thanks.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Accented characters...

« on: April 04, 2012, 09:00 AM »

Hi, I just decided to revisit your prog today, after our discussion in a different thread - you seem to have done quite a bit of work since last time I tried it, I especially like the addition of image capability.

One minor thing though... when I copy text that contains an accented character, e.g. 'č', I see that CHS doesn't display this correctly in the clips list. In this instance, it displays 'é' instead... it does however paste the correct character, so it's not a huge problem.

I see elsewhere in the CHS discussions a comment about problems with the cyrillic alphabet... is this a related issue?

Excellent app anyway, thank you.

Coding Snack Guidelines / Idea - Paste utility...

« on: April 03, 2012, 04:52 PM »

I don't know if I'm posting in the right place here... definitely don't know if this qualifies at all as a 'snack', but...

In Firefox, there's an add-on called 'Clippings', which lets you add text items to a context sub-menu for instant pasting into text areas. I know nothing about coding, but I'm wondering how possible/difficult would it be to have something like this that works globally across Windows? i.e. in Notepad, Open Office, Open/Save dialogs, etc?
