General Software Discussion / Re: The Great Software List.. For Linux

Maybe you would consider adding Beyond Compare 3 to the list, another great sync'er now with Linux support, and not a beta.

The GBM Pro is the world most extreme software. It has fast zip engine, it is unicode awareLast time I tried, GBM Pro v.8 did backup and restore files with unicode filenames fine, but its search function couldn't find them in the zipped archives. Zip format doesn't have native unicode support, and GBM has to change the filenames before storing them. When searching, however, it didn't handle this conversion properly.-tslim (August 21, 2008, 01:58 PM)

So Archivarius is out unless there is another way to purchase.According to their order page, orders can be made over phone (toll free), fax, or postal mail, if that's acceptable to you.-J-Mac (August 18, 2008, 01:09 AM)
Scrapbook simply saves html pages, so any search program will index them. But all the pages are named "index.html". Scrapbook's built-in (non-indexed) search returns page titles rather than file names, which is fine. But the search programs I use (Archivarius, WDS) don't offer this option, so every search of Scrapbook pages just brings back a list of "index.html" pages -- you have to view each one to find what you're looking for. I'd like to find a search program that offers the option to view page titles for HTML files rather than filenames.-johnk (July 24, 2008, 05:40 AM)
Just applied the upgrade and DC discounts to the Pro version and it worked fine. Both discounts are listed on the receipt. Great.Awesome! I'm on my way.-Carol Haynes (August 06, 2008, 12:53 PM)
Oh?! It would be nice to know a little more about these novelties.-dantheman (May 20, 2008, 06:45 PM)
OpenBook i find offers more options to adding bookmarks, keyword field for example.-dantheman (May 19, 2008, 09:35 AM)
I'm using Diigo's bookmarking system but somehow still prefer FX's, especially with new tagging method and Foxmarks beta which supports this new bookmarking way. It always faster to find what your looking for now with the url field acting like LocationBar2 and more!-dantheman (May 19, 2008, 09:35 AM)
With extensions checking disabled, i now have an issue with tabs interface.
The "x" to close them no longer appears and i don't feel like going through the safe mode process to find out which extension is giving the problem. Have work to do!
Update: by chance, it turns out a skin was making the "x" disappearing from the tabs.-dantheman (May 19, 2008, 09:35 AM)
Of course, one of those three that fail to work is my fav OpenBook...-dantheman (May 19, 2008, 04:22 AM)
FX3RC1 seems to chew up more on CPU than FX2 (with extensions compatibility check off, even more).-dantheman (May 19, 2008, 04:22 AM)
that's why there is a built-in safe-mode and this is repeated on the release notes.I knew that, but I wasn't sure dantheman did and thought it might worth mentioning. Not many people read release notes, though hopefully more people here do.-lanux128 (May 14, 2008, 01:56 AM)
to newly install an older and incompatible extension, one might have to turn off the compatibility checking within Firefox.No, that won't do it either. Go to the homepage of an extension -- if it has one -- to get it if you really want it. Though less convenient, doing so would also give you a good chance to find an updated beta version for FF3 not available on addons.mozilla.org yet.-lanux128 (May 13, 2008, 08:56 PM)
(It's my impression that trying to test drive a shareware program for a second time usually doesn't work.)You mean technically or psychologically? Technically you don't need to worry with XYplorer: it does not use the registry, so there's no trace of it on your computer, so you can try it again without any problem.-mwang (November 04, 2007, 05:49 PM)-DonL (November 05, 2007, 01:04 AM)
Or have I forgotten anything, mwang?I don't remember the specifics anymore, sorry. I removed XY when the trial period expired, and I'm not sure if I could try again.
