depending on the length of the clips, ZS4 Video Editor will come in handy. used them previously when i had the same problems with the digicam.

you may want to try Google Calendar, which has plenty of user created contents for different states, countries, festivities etc. also since gcal is integrated with gmail, sending out alerts won't be much of a problem.

Find And Run Robot / Re: use digit to open directory

« Last post by lanux128 on October 07, 2009, 01:48 AM »

When I do a directory search and press "5" or "Numpad 5" for the fith entry in the result I open that directory in the search string and have to press enter to open it.

Is there away that the digit would open the directory directly in my prefered file manager like it works with opening files?

i didn't know this wasn't possible..

edit: yes, the numpad keys only insert the folder name into search bar.

this would hopefully simplify the numerous steps one has to go through when trying to install a program in hurry. the plan is good and i wonder how the execution will be?

« Last post by lanux128 on October 05, 2009, 07:26 AM »

i haven't had much use for this tool but maybe you can have a try at Playlist Creator 3.6.

Create playlists of your favorite music in seconds. Supports drag and drop, readout of tags from all media files, a large number of predefined file types, user-defined file types, open and edit existing playlists, etc.

General Software Discussion / Re: BlueScreenView by NirSoft - find driver causing blue screen

« Last post by lanux128 on October 05, 2009, 07:21 AM »

I have checked further, within the last half an hour, and it seems to me that Ashampo probably has nothing to do with my Blue Screens. ...

I am going to re-install Ashampoo.

thanks for the vote of confidence, Curt.

i find it interesting the approach taken by Microsoft's team in "maintaining the balance" between exposing the power-user features and the ones that average users will be using everyday. but at least, that's where the "third party" tools and utilities come in to fill the gap.

there is a Softpedia link in that article, which allows one to download the program, but i'm not sure whether it checks for location when installing. only one way to find out.

DownloadSquad did a piece on this, perhaps this offering from Microsoft will fare better than MSAV. having said that, i'm curious too how will this change the playing field..

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Close multiple instances of the same program (but not the others)

« Last post by lanux128 on September 30, 2009, 12:46 AM »

OK, I tried CloseMany again.  In order to close multiple instances, one must hit the "Kill" button instead of the "Close" button.  That worked.

-jdd (September 29, 2009, 07:53 AM)

i guess it works like Process Explorer's "Kill Process Tree" command.
