Yes, single-click to edit, then double-click to open-link
If you click in the cell but not on the text, then a double-click will open the link.

It's minor, but, fwiw-

single click item-cell-text = edit
"If you click in the cell but not on the text" = select
"then a double-click" = edit

so I do actually have to double-click twice, here at any rate...

You could drag-drop those file in a grid to create a link (double-click to launch) and then fill fields with relevant values add notes (in a note field, as a sub-item or in the HTML pane, it's your choice). Link that with your project or with individuals.

Dont know where to post about SQL now..
if you prefer I can post in SQL forums - just say the word :)

I can drag file onto/into grid -
it creates a new item with file name as title, but when I double click it simply becomes editable..

EDIT: then if I double click it again it opens...

I presume you've looked at the other SFFS threads
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=8273.0
and
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=7714.0

how about dirsync ?

The only sync app I’ve found to be as accurate is DirSync, but it’s not as fast as Super Flexible File Synchronizer Pro. It has both a wizard step-by-step mode or an advanced mode. Profiles are simple to setup, easy to alter, and can be scheduled remotely. Worth every penny to protect your files.
(from [Zaine's SFFS] review)

I presume "It has both a wizard step-by-step mode or an advanced mode. Profiles are simple to setup, easy to alter, and can be scheduled remotely" refers to SFFS.
...
but DirSync is less than half the price...

cant compare I'm afraid
but I can say that if you've any problems -
Tobias - the developer of SFFS is very helpful & quick to respond to emails & fix any bugs -
same day service last (& first) time I found a bug.

Has the partial file backup thing - backing up only the changed portion of large files
& supports S3/Amazon online backup - I havent used that though..

a forum is nice to have though too  :-\

Developer's Corner / Re: Was My Posting To The Adobe Forum Stupid?
« on: November 01, 2007, 02:24 PM »
If you add another post (plea!?) it presumably goes to top of list again

I've posted about fonts somewhere in Adobe forums (is it "Typography forum" there :-\)
& gotten help.
It's probably just the luck of the draw & that it's so busy as you say.

Posted a bit in freehand forum there too & it was painfully slow to navigate it & threads older than a certain date weren't shown -
but that could have just been adobe discriminating against the newly aquired Freehand  :D

General Software Discussion / Re: Acronis True Image OR maybe not ???
« on: November 01, 2007, 12:40 PM »
wasnt sure whether to post here or there (another Acronis thread)

just For The Record

I noticed in Chip (german) computer mag
that Avanquest's Perfect Image 11
get's tops of a short list of best-of "Image-Programme"

The review was in a previous issue so i havent seen it
Gets 91/100 to Acronis True Images 70/100

for what it's worth.

I must say I'm fairly disappointed with True Image's interface -
dunno, backup utilities in general (that I've seen) seem to think they are exempt from good GUI design requirements -
probably goes with the utility image :D

But I guess if it does the job thats the important thing...

10384
BTW the name will change... any suggestions?

DatNote - only joking really ... but maybe it's not that bad  :-\ !!
(where I grew up people say "de pub" or "what's dat" ..)

I don't have to install am SQL database app or server?  Are you sure it isn't included in the setup for SQL Notes?

no, nothing extra there - or if there is it's all included in the exe file.
Simply install :)

thanks Amando!

You can create all sorts of different places (different grids) to store different types of data. Creating a new grid is not very intuitive right now : you have to go in View —> Manage grids and in the list of grids, click and write in the “New view” space. Took me a while to find it (should be in the Grid menu)! Too bad because it’s a fundamental feature.
-
that's a help!!

What is it that you'd like to use it for in the first place ?

well, that was part of my "problem"  :-[  :)
but as I'm starting a new job I could start with the pricing model &
was thinking of maybe using it for keeping track of job development e.g. I get a mail saying "oh I forgot to say I want that done" etc which is mostly per email but often by .doc file.

some big jobs I try keep track of the drawings in tables (*.doc file again) or spreadsheets -
eg. Figure#123: based on working drawing#ABC, modification requests, outstanding work, final approval given, etc.

maybe it would be a better place for this type of info - all in one place.
Now I have more of an incentive to use it -  :)
think all i needed was a prompt, (& that tip on creating new grid)

thanks again Amando  :up:

can I ask what others are using this programme for?

I mean I can see the example of the basketball but somehow that doesnt help me get my head around more practical uses for it (no offense to the basketball use!!)

I think I'm struggling cause I cant figure out how to get going with it AND I dont know what I want to use it for -
which might make people think I should forget it .. but
I can see a powerful programme at the same time & think I dont want to miss out on that !! -
I'm just not sure if it would be helpful to me
and
I'm hoping some of your examples might help me :)

The example from the web page of costing a job - I can see that being helpful way of structuring that.
any other ideas/uses?!?

EDIT: in case it's helpful -
I work on my own, selfemployed, but very few clients (is that what you call em?!) drawing mainly maps at the moment

hey Deozaan, you'll have to make a "Revenge of Cody" now

10391
Cyborg Cody has a kind of a Mayan feel to it -

could it be based on the "interpretation of [a] sarcophagus lid recovered from the tomb of the Classic-era Maya ruler of Palenque, Pacal. [It was] claimed the design represented a seated bird-astronaut" *

* source Wikipedia

EDIT: and maybe the bird on top could be an extraterrestrial relative?


10392
I really enjoyed the werewolf one -
this one I'm looking forward to reading.

The first one was too much for me, I gave up half way...

How are HTML emails and attachments stored in Thunderbird? How can you archive off older email to stop folders becoming unmanageable - are there tools built in to do it?

good questions.
I was coincidentally just this morning figuring out how to (bulk) delete attachments from sent mail

came across this
Technical details
Thunderbird stores the whole e-mail together, including the attachment, in MIME format in the mailbox files in your Profile folder - Thunderbird. It does not un-encode and store the attachment outside the mailbox file unless you save or detach it as described above. By contrast, the Eudora e-mail program automatically un-encodes and detaches the attachment when you receive the e-mail; it always stores attachments as separate files.
External links

    * AutoZip Attachments extension
    * Attachment Extractor extension
    * Copy Attachments to Clipboard extension
    * Slideshow extension
re archiving I'm curious!

EDIT: kindof overlapped with Ralphs post there
