General Software Discussion / Re: Is WinZip still worth updating?

« on: February 15, 2012, 04:35 AM »

Guess I'm pretty slow but I have winzip and winrar. I updated to winzip 16 this last time out of habit and for the email options. No real reason but I support the development and I should be breaking even any time now. ))

This shell integration worked fine in XP but does not yet work in my Win7 (64-bit). I intend to figure out how to fix this

IainB, this sort of defeats me as I am using the win 7 x64. (  but thanx for the tip thought. And I believe I am a member of the pcmag's site, just haven't been in a while. ))

Uggg, no joy in a simple solution I see. I have renamed some downloaded files to make their association a little easier to retain their 'meaning' but nothing on a regular basis. (Sometimes what seems logical at time of downloads changes with the passing of time on my part.) Tagging would sort of help but not my desired solution. I use "Everything" to run file searches which helps root out files but this is dependent upon my remembering parts of file names and what not. The older I get the harder it is to remember them dang parts of titles, )). I will keep looking though.

I was hoping to avoid using another file manager, innocently hoped that someone would be able to figure out a registry solution. I really don't want to have to learn another program ((.

Yeah, I thought so about XP. I think you can comment on MP3s and the such but not on other files (like .zip or .exe etc). I'm hoping one of 'smart folks' can solve this for Win 7 x64. ))

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Allow commenting of files in directory listing

« on: August 22, 2011, 11:29 AM »

Greetings,
I was wondering if it would be possible to throw something together that would allow the addition of a comment section on directory listings. I keep all my downloaded files, sorted by month and year, and over time, many have similar names of files and many have cryptic names as well. I would like to be able to add a short text statement next to the file (or somewhere on the same line) that would make the file name more meaningful to me.

Right now, the standard fields are "Name", "Date modified", "Type" and "Size". It would be great to be able to add an inputable "Note" or "Comment" field that would accept text input and retain this information during backups etc. I believe XP either allowed me to do this or I had a toy that allowed this to happen. I am using Win 7 x64 Ultimate. Would be sweet if it were possible. ))

Thanx in advance.

Screenshot Captor / not a valid win32 program

« on: April 09, 2011, 07:53 PM »

Greetings,
When I downloaded the most recent Screenshot Captor program and tried to run it, I received a "not a valid win32 application" message. Is this my fault?
