LaunchBar Commander / Re: Excessively Large Node Listing
« on: February 10, 2009, 04:10 PM »
I see no reason for this section to be so large.  Certainly the names of the files aren't very long.  The one difference I can identify is that included in this listing is one that is a menu with its own child nodes, but none of these has a long name.  As you can see, the size is really excessive.  Is there anything that can be done to make this listing be more like the others in size?
I'm quoting my posting of January 29 because today I changed the one element that I thought might be responsible for the section's being so absurdly large, namely, that it included one menu with its own child nodes.  I removed that menu and put each of the child nodes as a separate entry, so that they'd be like all the others.  But that made no difference.  The listing is still just as large as before.  :(     :wallbash:

Which is exactly why I'm obsessed with Powermarks and related bookmark managers like Linkman.  I just want to dump everything in a container and find it almost instantly.  No tagging or organizing.
For the same reason, I too was a big fan of Powermarks and am now an even bigger fan of Linkman.  But that still leaves me with thousands of digital photos on my computer.  I wish I could locate individual photos as easily as I can my  bookmarks in Linkman.  In theory, metadata tags would probably do what I need, but I can't imagine trying to retro-tag thousands of photos.   :(

I love the Unread Posts feature.  More often than I'd like to admit, however, I'll mark something as Read, either because I've read it or because I have no interest in reading it, and then later the same day I'll decide I want to read or re-read the thread.  Sometimes, I can find it without too much effort, but at times I search and search and apparently don't remember the right words that would help the forum's search mechanism find it.  I'm not sure what feature to suggest that would enable me to find threads whose words I can't recall correctly--perhaps a list of all the posts that had appeared that day in my Unread Posts listing.  I don't know how feasible that is, but short of a brain transplant, that's all I can think of.  I'd welcome other suggestions (well, most other suggestions  :) ).

You might look at UltraEdit.  I haven't used the feature, but "persistent selection" is available.  UE also handles multiple files and has bookmarks, a tabbed interface, backup options, user tools, and scripting.

+1.  I used to use Boxer, but several years ago I switched to UltraEdit because it offered bookmarks and Unicode support, neither of which Boxer had at the time.  It was also less expensive than Boxer, though both are commercial products.  I like both editors, but UltraEdit remains my favorite.
