General Software Discussion / Re: Portable alternative for Cathy (cataloging freeware) that runs on Win7 64 bit?

I am impressed how well and blazingly fast Cathy is working on my 64-bits Win 7

That's exactly why I'm :-* it sooo much.

question:
What is "Hit limit [512] < 10000"?
-Curt (May 09, 2013, 04:53 PM)

It means that Cathy will stop its searching for matching items after 512 matches. I use 5000 for that setting.
PS. Sorry for the very late answer :-[
I just stumbled upon this thread again.

General Software Discussion / Re: Enables/disable internet access based on a time schedule

Thanks 4wd for this information. It's definitely worth a try.

One remark:
It's not tamper proof (you change the clock and you have internet access again or you run those commands yourself - given you know what is "wrong" with the internet connection)

Another:
Would it be possible to alter that task remotely?

General Software Discussion / Enables/disable internet access based on a time schedule

« on: July 04, 2013, 04:18 PM »

Hi,

I'm looking for a simple and lightweight freeware windows application that controls internet access based on a time schedule I can specify.
Eg. Every evening from 23:00 cut off the internet access till 07:00. But on Saturday and Sunday keep it up until midnight.
No fancy and/or heavy parental control application. Just enabling/disabling internet access.
Of course the program should be secured against
- switching it off by eg. killing it in the task manager
- tampering with the time settings
- ...

Currently I am able to log in to the website of my ISP and enable/disable WIFI access based on MAC-addresses. (I have to use the modem/router my ISP provides me)
But, if I want to switch off the internet access for my son at midnight, I have to do it...well at midnight.
I'd like to go to sleep and be assured that at midnight it will be switched off. (for that MAC address)
So, I miss scheduling. That's why I asked for an application - installed on the pc - that could take care of this.

Being able to control the time schedule remotely (via the internet or via LAN) would be the icing on the cake.

Kind regards

Screenshot Captor / Re: auto move folders isnt working; request

« on: May 28, 2013, 03:30 AM »

I experience the same problem. My old screenshots are not auto moved anymore. Although the check box is selected.

So, reading this topic, I manually performed the action "Move *old* screenshots to "OLDER\%FILEDATE%".
That worked.
Although... ALL screenshots were moved; also the ones I created a minute ago...
Since there's also a menu item "Move *all* screenshots to "OLDER\%FILEDATE%" I don't think that was the intention.
Just mentioning.

It would be interesting to know what was sitting there that blocked your friend Cathy from working as expected

Indeed.

but I guess we'll never know

I'm afraid not.

And the key name also isn't very intuitive...

I searched the registry for "cathy". Robert Vasicek is the name of Cathy's programmer, hence "rOva".
