Great News. I noticed two useful new options:

Sort date descending first
Sort size descending first

I hope the developer adds an option to mix files and folders together.

4wd & highend01 thanks for the explanations.

I am testing it since Tuesday and luckily I found the mini review.

From what I understand so far, it seems a nice addition to the windows 7 firewall with the only downside (for me) is that doesn't inform you in real time that an application tries to obtain network access so that you may allow or deny it. You have to do it manually. Can you confirm that 4wd? Thanks.

Thanks for the review. Would you mind clarifying what are the features of the program that the donation unlocks, so I can use it at its full potential?

Hi, do you really find that opera enables more keyboard control than firefox?

This is a surprise for me. I consider firefox the most keyboard friendly browser.

@Babis - About the Not Blinking. I have a theory I'm working on, but wanted you to try something for confirmation. Set you clock text color to something (Um...) jarring Red, Green, yellow *Shrug* something loud guarantees contrast. Then re-run the blink test and let me know what it does.

-Stoic Joker (March 14, 2011, 06:01 PM)

Hi Stoic Joker, this is working. I tried it with various colors and all are working except the white. I hope in the future you will make a custom blink color

T-Clock / Re: T-Clock 2010 (download)

« on: March 14, 2011, 07:06 AM »

Thanks for your prompt reply.

It should accept any character you put in, unless the character is one of the format specifiers. In which case you need to encase it in "quotes" to ge it to display as-is. Note: \n is a line break. Can you post the string you are trying to use?

-Stoic Joker (March 11, 2011, 06:55 AM)

The string is:

[Select]

dd/mm - hh:nn

And at the taskbar it looks like this:   

-Babis (March 11, 2011, 07:43 AM)

Hm... (Sadly, I had to go read the help file...(memory going)) The system default regional settings formatting superceeds (/is used by) the T-Clock format specifiers. If you close T-Clock, does the Window's clock display dd/mm or dd-mm? If you put the slashes in quotes (dd"/"mm) does it display correctly (as you want it to)?

-Stoic Joker (March 11, 2011, 09:20 AM)

Yes this does the trick and displays it as I want it to. Thanks.

Also what it is supposed to blink? As I do not see any blink.

-Babis (March 11, 2011, 07:43 AM)

Clock text gets flashes bright, dim, bright, dim (it can be a bit subtle with certain color combinations).

-Stoic Joker (March 11, 2011, 09:20 AM)

Unfortunately even with the new build, I cannot make it to blink.
- I launch the new time through the keyboard shortcut
- I check the blink check-box
- When the timer ends there is only sound and not blink
I recorded all the above at a video, only 30 seconds long, which I hope you will take the time to watch.

Further please note that the keyboard shortcut: "Display Time Watch Hotkey" is not working. I pressed it a couple of times during the video (and other times during my testing) and it launches a new timer window (not the current running timer) completely blank, with only the window's title and the column names. This little window automatically disappears within one second, without displaying anything, eventhough a timer is actually running in the background. To properly display the timer I have to right click the clock, scroll up to the timers and choose the one running, except if I am doing something wrong.  You can see all that at the following video.

Stoic Joker, thanks for taking the time to write such detailed reply.

I will revert on Monday as at home I am still with XP and I need to access my work's PC.

However I am certain that I do not see any blink at the end of the countdown and I use the default color in the taskbar.

The string is:

[Select]

dd/mm - hh:nn

And at the taskbar it looks like this:  

That is most peculiar as it is supposed to be saving any configured timer until the Delete Timer X button next to the configured timers drop down menu is clicked. Other wise all timer configuration should be stored in the registry under:
HKCU\Software\Stoic Joker's\T-Clock 2010\Timers\TimerX [X being the timer number]

Scrolling through the configured timers dropdown menu should automatically display the options selected for that timer. Can you confirm that the timer config is getting stored in that registry location when a timer is started?

Nice, I can confirm confirm. I edited it through registry and now it "remembers" the settings.

Is it possible that the countdown timer instead of its own window, is shown next to the clock in the sys tray? Or to have the default option when I start the timer the window to show by default? Because now it shows only on demand.

Also what it is supposed to blink? As I do not see any blink.

Hi. I migrated to tclock from tclock light, after  I changed from XP to 7.

Although it is fully featured I have a couple of questions:

- Each time I launch a new timer, I have to re-enter the wav file, to check the Repeat/Blink checkboxes and the minutes to start count down always set to 10. Is there a way to remember the previous timer's settings? So when I press the hotkey there will be 3 minutes, 30 seconds, the alarm wav file selected and both check boxes checked?

- Tclock properties> time format>custom format: it does not accept the dash / key as a day separator, though it accepts \   Is this normal behavior?

Thanks & congrats for the app.

I agree with you. I a way it is strange that there is no competition at all for Google Reader. But since the ex off-line readers (now almost all dead) were unpopular now we rely on (the superior) Google Reader, which definitely has some flaws, however it makes the reading of most blogs much better than visiting the blog itself.

I am using notezilla for more than a year and since you are so kind to ask for suggestions, I would like to have a 24 hours format on the "Set Reminder" window, as the AM-PM format confuses me sometimes.

General Software Discussion / Re: advice needed.....FirstDefense-ISR, ShadowProtect, ShadowUser, Rollback Rx???

« on: November 18, 2008, 05:19 AM »

First-Defense ISR is THE ultimate program for me, it saved me from many windows formats and gives me the opportunity to endlessly test programs without care if the registry gets bloated or if the one program screws with the other. I have bought it about 2 years ago and it is one of my top 5 software of all time, as it saves time for me and helps me recover in case needed.

Now I know it is not for sale but it is a pity that such a program has been abandoned.

The only "disadvantage" is the space occupied by the snapshots.
