CFDButton is nice, but it's lacking several features.-superboyac (March 14, 2008, 04:13 PM)

@Perry Mowbray: I was able to make the runtime work locally by including the manifest in the install, so if you download the portable install now, it should work without needing to install the runtime.
I also created a new install for people who want the runtime local to the app and not installed SxS in system32, as MS would have you do it
Let me know if you see any problems...-ChalkTrauma (December 10, 2007, 10:12 AM)
Thanks for the props Perry...-ChalkTrauma (March 13, 2008, 10:26 PM)

Perry, I checked my default email client and it was set to Outlook. I changed it and it works like a champ!-techidave (February 01, 2008, 10:12 PM)
Glad it's all fixed!it's $59; a bit expensive for a notepad replacement-urlwolf (February 01, 2008, 09:03 PM)
Well, Windows is a bit expensive for a Linux replacement.-tinjaw (February 01, 2008, 09:05 PM)
but the main point in what I'm saying is that I think having a little more organisation, structure and co-authoring would help develop and present the wealth of talent and experience we have here. Still sounds like a good idea to me, Steven (and that's exactly how I understood your original post)-Darwin (January 31, 2008, 12:37 PM)

I did like the warning in imagine but can imagine that [in imagine] getting annoying too

) that you can define that behaviour. You can in irfanView.I feel dumb... You're right, that works. (unfortunatelly, opera won't accept it, though, but no problem).

No, I meant my question was probably dumb... but glad it works. [Opera won't work with a standard OS setting??]Ok, so i just found out another interesting thing!
I mentioned about moving the image when out of full-screen: that can be done with right-button drag! smart-jgpaiva (February 01, 2008, 07:24 AM)
I just accidentally found that too what I miss in most viewers is the option to zoom into a selected area of imageOh, but MaxView won't let you down on that! Try pressing ctrl and dragging with left button!-tomos (February 01, 2008, 07:07 AM)-jgpaiva (February 01, 2008, 07:24 AM)
Thanks! I read it on the website, but it didn't seem to be working (don't ask me, it's OK now)..what I miss straight away in Faststone (compared to imagine) is that it wont go from last file in folder back to first ("Jump to the first file?" box pops up)-tomos (February 01, 2008, 07:07 AM)

I just downloaded this program. It is much faster than the windows default viewer. Is there anyway that I setup Thunderbird as my mail client instead of Outlook? The software defaults to Outlook and I added Thunderbird as an external program but that didn't help either.-techidave (February 01, 2008, 05:59 AM)
Maybe we all should send an email (as a more realistic indication of the functions support)-Perry Mowbray (February 01, 2008, 06:32 AM)
Let's not annoy him to death (or he might get mad at us and not implement it), but get the max people to post here supporting his software instead!
I'll bet you that this approach will get a better result (not to say about the warm feeling inside for the developer-jgpaiva (February 01, 2008, 06:37 AM)

My apologies for any offense taken by my referring to WikiPad as an outliner.-e712 (February 01, 2008, 01:20 AM)
WikidPad does Outline... it's just that that is such a small part of its capabilities.I downloaded and tried WikiPad and I tried some others as well. I've decided that outlining is not for me as a writer.If you tried it and it doesn't fit your mindset, that's fine. But for the benefit of others reading, I feel compelled to point out that WikidPad is not an outliner. Actually, I imagine that some wiki purists would be aghast at such an implication.-e712 (January 31, 2008, 03:10 PM)
WikidPad uses a tree control, typical of outliners, to show the set of links radiating out from a given page. This shouldn't be interpreted as a representation of the wiki's informational structure. It's really just a navigational shortcut.
In data structures terms a wiki is a directed graph. It has (potentially) many incoming links to each page and many outgoing links. In an outline, a given node can only have one incoming link -- its parent. But a wiki allows any node (page) that relates to another to offer a link to it, leading eventually to a very densely packed structure.
Perhaps more importantly, if you're consistent about the way you name things in a wiki, you'll find that the interconnectedness arises all on its own. You don't need to intentionally create a link; the link manifests itself based on the usage of similar terms.-CWuestefeld (January 31, 2008, 04:19 PM)
Thanks for that: very well said!! ConnectedText has a map like navigation pane that possibly demonstrates the structure more accurately.It's very gratifying when working in a wiki to discover that you've already done something that you forgot about. As you're describing a related concept leading up to another page, you find that the link is already populated; simply by thinking descriptively and consistently, you've created a knowledge web that not only holds together, but reinforces itself.-CWuestefeld (January 31, 2008, 04:19 PM)
can someone help me get going here!! (as said earlier I've no wiki experienceso far)

WikidPad.swf (2599.49 kB. 39x28 - viewed 973 times.)That's GREAT review!-tamasd (January 31, 2008, 07:01 AM)
One similar app is ConnectedText.-tamasd (January 31, 2008, 07:01 AM)
I have chosen it over Wikidpad mostly because I wanted web export, and didn't want CamelCase, but regular space between words in exported html.
ConnectedText supports other scripting languages as well, besides Python, through Windows ActiveScripting. So you can have Ruby, Perl, etc. And it has plugins - I use CT to store code snippets, and it comes with Highlight plugin so my Ruby code is nicely highlighted.-tamasd (January 31, 2008, 07:01 AM)
There is also TeX plugin and some graph plugins - just enter some data and graph is created on the fly.-tamasd (January 31, 2008, 07:01 AM)
WikidPad allows access to some graphical applications which take some sort of script to generate images. You can include the script in a wiki and let the applications generate the appropriate image to show it in HTML preview and export.
The supported applications are:
- MimeTeX to generate mathematical formulas
- GraphViz which is a set of applications to generate directed and nondirected graphs
- Ploticus to generate plots and charts (as you might have seen in your favorite spreadsheet program)
- Gnuplot to generate mathematical plots
-WikidPad Help
)If Wikidpad didn't insist on CamelCase, I would have used it now, but ended with CT instead and I'm happy with it as well.-tamasd (January 31, 2008, 07:01 AM)
I was envisioning a child board of Found Deals and Discounts called something like: "Daily Deals". Perry's idea is good as well, though - have a Bits du Jour child board and a GiveawayoftheDay childboard. But then what do you do with short term deals from other sites/vendors?-Darwin (January 30, 2008, 08:35 AM)
