General Software Discussion / Re: The Great Suspender - Chrome extension to use less CPU/RAM
« on: February 04, 2021, 02:03 PM »
Bad news: this wonderful extension has changed owner and now has been classified as malware by Google.

Good news: someone added a replacement for The Great Suspender... The Marvellous Suspender: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-marvellous-suspender/noogafoofpebimajpfpamcfhoaifemoa . It's the last version of the old extension before crap was added to it.

Background info and stuff:

General Software Discussion / Notifications for YouTube (Chrome extension) - never miss an upload again!
« on: January 31, 2021, 03:10 AM »
A while ago YouTube turned off their email notifications (apparently because hardly anyone actually opened those emails). If you, like me, have a channel you follow closely (or more than one), I recommend Notifications for YouTube (Chrome extension) as an alternative.

Once you've set it up, the extension's icon will notify you about new uploads. Very unobtrusive, I like it. :)

General Software Discussion / Re: wanted: file manager for moving files (possibly with speed limit)

In its "Find" window (Ctrl-f) it does not seem to be possible to permanently disable "Search subdirectories", but other than that it's love at first sight. :-*

But at least one can use the Filter (Ctrl-F12) to only show matching files in a given folder.  :Thmbsup:

Just wanted to share that in case someone else is looking for that too. :)

In trying to remember the *Commander options, I ran across one that I think I'll try.  The price tag is a bit extreme (up there with DOpus), but it is a perpetual license, unlike DOpus. https://fman.io/

I used to use DOpus many years ago (loved it!), but there came a time where I couldn't justify the cost anymore, for what I used it for.


There's also Multi Commander (free, donationware), favourably mentioned by Shades in Re: Batch file to move files (less than total size) from A to B, along with a link to 26 third-party file managers.

But, from the OP, is a FM really what you want?  The task sounds rather like backup/directory synchronization, e.g. by something like Karen's Replicator (free, donationware)

Thanks for the link.

And yes, I want/need a file manager.  8)

Thanks guys, Altap Salamander does look promising! It does have a transfer speed limit option, yay. :) And it's search-as-you-type feature is pretty cool.

In its "Find" window (Ctrl-f) it does not seem to be possible to permanently disable "Search subdirectories", but other than that it's love at first sight. :-*

I might check out the other suggested alternatives another day.
