General Software Discussion / Plain text editor for writers
« on: January 19, 2008, 12:57 AM »
Found 2 incredibly cool full-screen text editors - Q10 & WriteMonkey.

Q10 Key Features:

* Full-screen.

* Word, page and character counts are updated live as you type.

* Programmable page count formula.

* Customizable look and paragraph format - Change the colors, line spacing, first line indent, paragraph spacing, font...

* Portable - A single self-contained executable file. That’s all. Easy to use with a pendrive, so you can carry your writing environment with you everywhere. Q10 will remember the last file you worked on, even if the drive letter assigned to your pendrive changes from computer to computer.

* Easy to use timer alarm.

* Spell checker.

* Notes - Any paragraph starting with ".." is considered a note. You can get a list of all notes in the current document and jump instantly to any of them.

* Target count - Displays completed percentage. You can choose units: words, pages, lines, paragraphs or characters. If NaNoWriMo is your thing, this is for you.

* Partial counts - Keep track of the extension of current chapter or see how much content you've produced in the current writing session. You're free to use partial counts as you like: up to four counters with customizable labels and units: words, pages, lines, paragraphs or characters.
Autocorrections and quick text.

* Unlimited autocorrection entries to fix on the fly those persistent typing errors. Unlimited quick texts list for frequently used words or phrases, like character names, places, etc.

* Standard and clean text format - You will be able to open your work with any text editor or word processor. Now and in the future.
Encoding and line endings agnostic.

Reads and writes ANSI and UTF-8 texts, and line endings formats are not a problem for Q10.

* Typing sound effects.

* Small, fast and stable.

* Autosaving - You can ask Q10 to save your work after some number of new paragraphs, or after some time has elapsed. If you're really paranoid, set Q10 to save every paragraph.

* Q10 is Free.

jhead - Exif Jpeg header and thumbnail manipulator program (freeware).

Came across this little program during my endless morning web-surfing routine... might be useful for some.

PureJPEG is a Win32 Command Line tool that does similar stuff.

« on: September 23, 2007, 07:09 AM »
I was wondering how do you guys go about keeping your system drivers - motherboard, graphics card, mouse, etc., up to date? Do you use a third party scanners to download updates or visit the manufacturer web site to do so?

General Software Discussion / FolderViewer - File Manager

FolderViewer - a freeware Windows Explorer replacement.

2007-09-21_231932.jpg

Browse folder content, print, preview, (un)pack and organize MS Office documents, MP3 files, Photos and much more. FolderViewer integrates with IE and provides a built in browser as well as a text editor with syntax coloring, image viewer, media player, and more. Here's a description from Softpedia:

"FolderViewer it is a completely new application designed for organizing your files.

It will help you to list, print, (un)pack, rename, search, distribute and convert and edit files and images. The files are presented on screen according to different Views.

There are already 50 different Views implemented in the program, but you can design as many as you want and save them to disc. All nearly 110 file properties (i.e. Author) and derived properties (i.e. Week number) can be used to Group, Filter, Sort or Search on.

Use the Multi Rename Tool to rename files on the fly using the file properties in the new filename, correcting case properties as well.
The Folder content or search results can be saved or exported to CSV, Excel, XML or HTML files for example to publish your MS Word documents to a local Intranet."
