Is there any hope to fix the issue with the "Previous versions" choice on the context menu? I need it for my Excel recovery project...

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Population Fulcrum of the World
« on: September 24, 2009, 09:42 PM »
I'm not sure I got this right but Qaddafi I think proposed that Libya be the site of the UN, since it's closer to the population center of the World.  Well maybe this should be calculated although I'm sure its been done many times.  I'm not sure how to do it best, but if you use the populations of the countries of the world as they are today and then start with the capitol Libya as the target and weight the distances from the Libyan capitol according to the population and then add all these weighed distances togethor.  You could then do that for all the capitols of the world....Obviously there's better ways to do this but that's what I could think of...

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Firefox Spellchecker Spellchecker
« on: September 13, 2009, 06:04 PM »
Many people use Firefox these days because of the great spell checker.  However, sometimes spellcheckers get filled with entries which we don't wish were there.  Here is lifehacker's manual take on how to fix the problem: http://lifehacker.com/244497/remove-misspelled-words-from-your-firefox-dictionary.

Instead why not create a web service or a Firefox add-in which first locates the persdict.dat file and then displays it in the browser.  Next using a different dictionary, it highlights possible misspellings in the custom spellchecker dictionary. It could be called "Firefox Spellchecker Tuneup"... of "Firefox Spellchecker Spellchecker" :-).

I suppose as a bonus the web service/application/Firefox add-in could offer to also tune up the MS Office custom dictionary, which apparently is located for Vista and Office 2007 at: C:\Users\[user
name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof\CUSTOM.DIC and is just a list of words separated by carriage returns just like the Firefox one.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Batch IPTC Updater that Gets Info from CSV File
« on: September 01, 2009, 09:23 PM »
How about a batch changer of arbitrary IPTC or EXIF info according to that info found in a CSV file.  So for every image in a directory it will find an entry in the CSV file with that file name and change to the associated metadata specified.
