Since posting this question, I have been learning how to program in AutoHotKey.  I have been working on this project. 

It will be able to create tags, but not really edit them via the GUI.  PSPad looked good, but I didn't want to have to learn a new editor.  Plus, with AutoHotKey, I will be able to use this GUI with any text editor, even notepad.

I figured out that I would need two ways to call up the GUI for a particular tag:
1) Typing the whole tag ... e.g. "<img"
        - This method better for shorter tags
2) Typing a hotkey and then selecting a tag by typing the first few letters
        - This method better for longer tags

I'm also coding it to create functions as well as HTML and ColdFusion tags.  I use a ini file to keep the data configuration for the tags, so it will be expandable to add in syntax for any kind of functions or tags.

Well, since my initial post on this subject, I've become a AutoHotKey coder.  Quite an amazing little program. 

I wrote my own little program to sound out morse code as you type!  The only disadvantage is that the character you type now will play its sound even if the previous character's sound is not done.

This means that if you type fast, you won't really be helped by listening as you type because you won't hear the complete sequences.

However, if you type slowly, or just want to go to a text editor and hit a letter to hear the sound, then this program will work nicely for you.

I posted it on my web site...

...in case anyone wants it.

Example #1: I have a folder in which is put one copy of every screenshot I take.  I would like to keep them around for a certain time, then delete them. 

Example #2: Or perhaps I just want to have 14 files in there maximum.  And when more than 14 are found, the oldest ones are deleted to keep the count to 15 or less. 


The program I am suggesting would store cleanup settings for each folder the user wants "cleaned" periodically.  It would also perform those cleaning tasks when initiated (like at startup).

Possible Cleaning Methods...

• Delete files older than a certain number of days (or hours, etc.) old.
• Delete oldest files when the maximum file count for that folder is reached or exceeded.
• Delete oldest files when the maximum total file size for that folder is reached or exceeded (i.e. when all files' size adds to more than specified amount, oldest are deleted until max is reached or passed.).
• Delete files that do not have a certain string in their name.
• Delete files whose names do not match a certain regular expression.
• Delete text files that do not have a certain string in their content.
• Delete text files whose content does not match a certain regular expression.

There are probably more cleaning methods out there, but these might be the most common.  The first three were really the ones that spawned this idea.  The others just came as I was thinking on how to make it better.

And perhaps you could put a certain filter on the first three options.  Like, skip all .html files, but clean all jpg files.

I know windows cleanup is nice, but as far as I can tell, it just deletes them all, rather than keeping the most recent, etc.
