My Favorite Filename + tag1_tag2_tag3 +.txt (I was inspired by Armando)-CodeTRUCKER (January 22, 2008, 08:10 PM)
Given that there will be an evolution that will require the addition/modification of tags as time goes on my app will need to be dynamic. The end result will be the ability to locate/modify any and all files any time by searching the filenames for whatever tags I require. My apps only purpose is to intercept the "Save"/"Save As" dialog to create and format the whole file name to ensure consistency. Once you hit the "Go" button it would disappear leaving the now fully-formed filename populated in the text box of the dialog ready for me to hit the "Save" button.
It is my hope that using a utility like this is a good way to help maintain integrity of the file naming/tagging system as it would eliminate things like typos and other human inconsistencies.-CodeTRUCKER (January 22, 2008, 08:10 PM)
Why would you think portability is important?-CWuestefeld (January 22, 2008, 04:34 PM)
A full application might not be feasible to do portably, but portability is important when you're writing library routines. And even if you don't aim to make your SuperAppTM portable, it doesn't hurt keeping portability in mind, as it (imho) helps you think a bit more componental/modular, and leads to cleaner code.-f0dder (January 22, 2008, 05:08 PM)
Who cares about outbound "protection" anyway? When you get to the point where it kicks in, your PC has already been compromised... I see it as fixing the symptoms instead of curing the problem"a bit like saying "if the thief is in your house it's already to late : just let him take all your stuff and run", or "if you get sick, it's already too late : go for a walk and infect everybody else".

So, what would the expert coders here recommend? Any consensus?A large part of a program is the UI and coding a UI in C++ MFC, etc is not easy at all. If you are interested in Windows programming, I'd recommend a .Net language (VB, C#) if you want to go the .Net route, or VB6 or Delphi for the COM route. For web dev. I'd go ASP.Net or VWG (http://www.visualwebgui.com)-Armando (January 21, 2008, 11:14 PM)-PPLandry (January 22, 2008, 01:52 PM)
Another post, again, while I was writing... Thanks CWuestefeld!Bitdefender AV and did the same. I was able to tweak it to be quite inobtrusive and bought a licence - it's made a dramatic improvement to my wife's notebook. It's also relegated Webroot AV and AS to an afterthought on my machine (and completely uninstalled from my wife's) despite my dual licence for it expiring in Novmber 2009. Bitdefender is simply that much less resource hungry. I do use Webroot for a weekly manual scan, though...-Darwin (January 22, 2008, 12:42 PM)
Looking further into it I found that NOD32 is eating it up as soon as I download it - and without any notification. I swear, NOD32 keeps falling lower on the A-V Test sites, and it also keeps eating files that I want!!
