I love scouring for useful freeware, and I think software in general is pretty cool (my husband has a t-shirt that says "I love my geek"--says it all, doesn't it?)-emerald222 (April 22, 2007, 09:38 PM)

)It's more that i notice how much mac's seem to be marketed to people who don't want to get involved in installing software, configuring, etc. to each his own i guess.

)So we are left in this strange situation where companies are officially fighting to keep the program out of the hands of people who can't afford it, just so they can extract high dollars out of the people who can. This is the kind of thing that makes me long for the day when we can all pay what we think a program is worth to us (i know it's not going to happen im just saying).I suppose they reckon as well that if they reduce the price the others - "people who can't afford it" still wont buy it - maybe they're right...-mouser (April 18, 2007, 10:02 AM)
in general i guess i evaluate companies and get a feeling for if i think they are trying to jack up their prices and update charges in order to maximize profits with no real "love" of their customers. i want to support companies which balance making a profit with having happy users. show me a company trying to bleed their users dry to squeeze the last drop of potential profits, and i'll show you a company whose users are looking for an excuse to jump ship.-mouser (April 18, 2007, 10:02 AM)
EDIT: I think I need to tweak the settings of which file to index a bit... or perhaps index only part of my data. Estimate: 690'152 documents, 396.89 GB, 146.8GB index size. That's a task for tomorrow-f0dder (April 17, 2007, 05:45 PM)

at that one!!More and more I'm looking for and donating money and feedback to open source and donationware programs where I can find them. I'm just sick of companies like Microsoft and Adobe .... Better, let's start listing all the companies and software vendors that treat their registered users well!-zridling (April 17, 2007, 05:27 AM)
A few alternatives:that sounds like the way to go!
If using Win2K, with the focus on an error box, you can just press Control-C to have Windows send the text to the clipboard.-rjbull (April 17, 2007, 04:35 AM)
Lastly, Nir Sofer's SystemExporter:SysExporter utility allows you to grab the data stored in standard
list-views, tree-views, list boxes, combo boxes, text-boxes, and
WebBrowser/HTML controls from almost any application running on your
system, and export it to text, HTML or XML file.
Here's some examples for data that you can export with SysExporter:
* The files list inside archive file (.zip, .rar, and so on) as
displayed by WinZip or 7-Zip File Manager.
* The files list inside a folder.
* The event log of Windows.
* The list of emails and contacts in Outlook Express.
* The Registry values displayed in the right pane of the Registry
Editor.
* The data displayed by SysInternals utilities (Registry Monitor, File
Monitor, Process Explorer, and others.)-rjbull (April 17, 2007, 04:35 AM)
grab windows object hotkey in SC is Ctrl+Shift+PrtScr i think.

the help file definitely needs an update.I'm afraid i still dont understand -
to do text scraping, do windows capture mode, select the text object, hit ctrl+t (or use redbox menu to see preview of text and capture to clipboard).-mouser (March 06, 2006, 07:08 AM)
just my personal opinion, wouldn't such a long list make a person lose interest? btw, how about introducing some criteria and limit to final review to something like 10-15 apps, the rest can included in an appendix.. we can also suggest that readers who don't like the the first 15 can try out the rest by using the same methods followed for the first 15 and post a mini-review..-lanux128 (April 15, 2007, 09:04 PM)
I don´t think that people lose interest by the size of the list - they lose interest if the tools they look at doesn´t meet their needs.
To make them comparable you have to pick out the most interesting features people are searching for. The first one finds it more interesting to have thumbnails for pictures, the other one is more fascinated in MP3-Tagging-features, others prefer high speed searches over a very big list of files (perhaps with features to look inside archives) and less memory usage. Some wants to give out money for a good product - others don´t have enough money for that and need full featured freeware-versions and so on. I now can say that out of these huge list only a few meets my personal needs and no one has all the features I´d personally like to see. Such complex programs like catalogers are too different to say what are the "best". You can only say there´s a best one for a special usage.
Which one´s the right for you depends on whatfor you want to use it!
...
The biggest comparison list I found also had only very few and old entries but this was ok: http://www.cdfinder.de/list2.html The only problem is that this list is looking at rather old and only 68K-/powerpc-processor Mac-Software. This type of list is very helpful to make a good decision. A personal review also would be an addition to something like this. What do you think about it?-Crush (April 16, 2007, 12:11 PM)
To make them comparable you have to pick out the most interesting features people are searching for.conversely,
... I used it for myself to see how many progs are existing, how good are they and what are the shiny pearls (best features) of them, how many are still in development and I wanted to see the amount of free/commercial software and the prices of them. That´s all.
The list is now nearly at the end with nearly 200 entries. Now it´s the question how I could post it here. The best thing would be if others could update or add new programs to the list.-Crush (April 12, 2007, 02:50 PM)
) Both of mine [monitors] are way above eye level. This one I'm looking at right now has the bottom of the screen at about eye level, while my other one is about mid-screen at eye level.-Deozaan (April 12, 2007, 04:20 PM)
