This war seems like it's good for absolutely nothing.

btw this same issue was discussed in the Outpost forum. See post #4 where it mentions svchost is blocked from reaching sqlite in the Firefox profile.

I hope little Samantha is not too upset ...because I just voted for Quinn.

Curt, you're welcome. I'm glad to know the .reg file worked. 

Here is another resource. Supposedly the provided .reg file works on both Windows 7 and Vista.

Nice discount. Thanks for telling.

Hi,

I received a response from the developer Vincent Stahl (and he granted permission for me to post it here). He seems a nice chap receptive to feedback on his software.

(1) Regarding the six month free upgrade term of Depeche View Extended Edition--have you considered extending it?
As is, the term seems unduly restrictive for paid software.

--Not yet. I think 20 Dollars is extremely cheap, therefore paying 40 Dollars per year- if you really want the latest features - is not too much.

(2) Suppose the customer upgrades beyond the initial free upgrade term (whatever it may be), would there then be any options besides paying
full price again?

--I'm thinking of a price increment to at leat 30 Dollars for a long time now, and sooner or later I'll have to do so, as DView is not a mass product.
It targets software developers who pay at least $10 for their lunch every day. And when I implement this price increase, I may rethink the
free upgrade period, and maybe even an option for reduced upgrade costs.

If you have examples for other software, like text editors or search tools, I'm always interested in reading through their pricing and upgrade
conditions for a comparison. But as far as I see, for example, most commercial text editors are more expensive than Depeche View.

With best regards,

So if anyone has feedback, send your thoughts to Mr. Stahl. Or post 'em right here as he is aware of this thread.

I use the FREE XML Pad (http://www.wmhelp.com/xmlpad3.htm). 

Hm, the site seems to have either passed away, or it's been DoCo'd (like 'slashdotted' )

No luck here either. I figured I would take a look because XML Marker hasn't been updated in quite a while (2004).

odd pricing for the extended edition, I think.

$20 is of course okay, but it only include updates for six months!
And they don't imply any rebate for upgrading.

Curt, I agree those terms are much too limited. I will email the developer Vincent Stahl to see if he will address these concerns.

Looks like Depeche View is now at version 1.4.6.

There's plenty about this unique app I don't know because I haven't yet read the complete help file. But even as a basic user I have found it a very useful search tool. And it remains a completely portable app provided you don't register the shell extension.

Try it, you'll like it.

These SlimWare Utilities are some nice looking apps. It will be interesting to see if they become popular.

I took a look at the freeware SlimCleaner. Currently in beta stage I don't see anything which I need (in addition to CCleaner, AutoRuns, System Explorer etc.) I mean, nothing unique really stands out.

But the GUI is attractive and the community concept is interesting. So the potential is there. Thanks for telling.

Hmmm...thanks for the links. Surprising lack of information on the site. Wonder what the supposed problem with 1.2.1.452 was?

Kinda hard to hide everything, but they did a pretty good job.

I'm now running Everything version 1.21.452a. Don't ask where that info/announcement is on the voidtools site. I've no idea --never could find it.

I took the 1.21.451 download link provided here and substituted .452 in place of .451. Voila! The newest version exists. Why do we have to treasure hunt for the latest version of this fine software?

Hi mouser. Yeah, acolburn has a good idea! I also have left my flash drive at home plugged to the PC..uh...a few times.

Among the choices are...

Flash Drive Reminder:

FlashRecall:

...One small concern: Zentimo might have caused a small bit of instability on my Vista desktop -- a major crash a couple of hours after installation, but it hasn't recurred so it might have been a coincidence...

Unfortunately I had a similar experience with Zentimo on a XP system several months ago. I had no stability issues before installing Zentimo, and I've had none since deciding to uninstall. After several crashes with Zentimo I had seen enough to uninstall. But I will probably try it again in the future.

I have also found Text Filter to be a useful little tool, but currently updating the app is an exercise in futility.

And it would be interesting to hear from musetips regarding the development of this software.

JavaJones, I am happy to join the chorus of positive comments.

Very nice comprehensive review.

Thanks PhilB66 for the info and link to Text Filter's portable version.

I always grabbed the portable build so I didn't know about the installer issues. Previously the portable build was located on the main page, but at least it's still available.

Undelete 360 is another freeware with a portable version. Looks like it can both recover and securely wipe files.

However, it seems Recuva is currently outperforming Undelete 360 on my system. Recuva displayed and recovered files which Undelete 360 marked as corrupt. And I didn't even have to use Recuva's deep scan.

Still, I suppose Undelete 360 is likely to improve.

So I go to musetips site today to update my version of Text Filter to the latest 1.1.0.683...

First, I notice there's no longer a portable version so I decided to grab the setup file this time.

Then I see where the setup offers the "Facemoods Toolbar Software" for sharing my mood.   Well, at least you can cancel the facemoods crapola option (with accompanying browser toolbar, registry entries, and its own service facemoodssrv.exe) without incident.

I didn't install Facemoods, but I bet you can still guess my mood--annoyed.

Hi,

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I think the tiny MP3 player named M3 deserves a mention here.

M3 is approximately 100 kb and can be found in l.madhavan's software archive along with other minimalist/smallware apps.

Another alternative is the freeware MF Shutdown Manager.

...Now I have come to realize that several are stand-alone programs, so of course I started testing right away....

Yes, several nice little apps there. I've used DesktopOK for some time.

Bywifi Video Downloader claims support for Justin.tv.

Never used it myself so I don't know if it identifies a stream address or just downloads the media. Either way, Bywifi looks to be a viable alternative based on the generally favorable comments I've seen.

Sorry, no first had experience with Bufferzone here.

I've often thought about checking it out but never seem to get around to it. I suppose I've been content with Sandboxie for so long I don't want to "rock the boat". Pretty hard to beat Sandboxie's protection IMO.
