Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Windows Shell Add-on/Hack To Enable Regular Expressions Support.

What are the primary benefits you envision? What kind of interface would you prefer? What kinds of tasks would you perform?

If it is a shell plug in or add-on, then all software that rely on Windows Shell will benefit from it.

For example, file search, rename, mass rename, delete, mass delete, select, mass select, .....etc.
Instead of using wild cards, regular expressions are far more superior and productive.

Yes it's me again, the one obsessed with Regular Expressions.  :)

This would certainly increase productivity and usability of Windows if it suddenly supported Regular Expressions.

Donations, more than just the ones that I have in my profile are available for the proper implementaion of this idea.

Thank you.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Firefox Profile Sync.
« on: November 15, 2006, 04:15 PM »
I am sure lots of others out there other than me have several computer that they would like to see their Firefox profiles synced between them.

I know that there are around a dozen Firefox bookmark sync services, but never seen a Firefox profile sync.
Netscape did have a "Roaming Profile" feature which was helpful, but that is no longer there, and Seammonkey has it now, but I am more interested in using Firefox than Seamonkey.

A profile sync that includes themes, add-ons, extensions and bookmarks would be a great thing to have.
I am currently using FEBE (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2109/) and a script to download and install on other computers, but that's hardly efficient, and bugs are sometimes causing me headaches.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Virtual button for local area connection.
« on: November 08, 2006, 02:01 AM »
I'd like a virtual button, thank you, that sits in my tray, which enables and disables my (dsl) local area connection. When the connection is enabled--the button is green. When the connection is disabled--the button is red. Any takers?

If you are using Windows XP, that's a feature already buiult in into the OS.

Go to your Network connections, by right clicking on My Network Places on the desktop and then choosing Propertiesm (or Click Start/Settings/Networking connections), and then right click the connection in question, and then choose Properties.

In the properties Window, at the bottom section, you should see the following chek boxes.

[ ]Show icon in the notification area when connected.
[ ]Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity.

Checking both will give you a nice in the systray that even displays amount of network traffic in real time if you point your mouse on that icon, and will display green activity color when connected.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: RSS News Reader With Filtering
« on: October 31, 2006, 09:12 PM »
Almost all of the freeware RSS readers/aggregators have no filtering functionality or use filters to combine and direct feeds.

The idea is a simple RSS reader whcih incorporates regexp based filtering.

That will prevent spam/offensive content from reaching you, and helps reducing duplicate.

I am currently using an email2rss and that is curretly filtered only on the header, since Forte Agent, as of this time, cannot filter on body content.
