Lashiec, that is a local only solution. I am looking for anywhere solution not local network. I have syncback pro and does a better job than ms synctoy in my view.

Why don't try my DTT (Developer's Tips & Tricks)?  It's free... 

Free download from: DTT page

I actually tried that one but it did not have drag and drop support. To me without that feature I do not feel any need for using another application really. Do not get me wrong it looks works very nice but personally I prefer dd over many other features.

Eóin, it sounds good but it did not work on my network(one of my machines is 64bit, that might be the reason)

Innuendo, Hamachi`s licence is as expensive as powerfolders also I believe it requires user registration as well.(1 year 40$ per licences, I am thinking to sync 7 computers)

app103, that method is fine if your download is static, ie just someone downloads something from you, you download stuff from them once in a while. My problem is not sharing couple files with other people. I have some many computers and some of the stuff needs to stay in sync and I cannot afford cumbersome methods(copy, delete, figure out what was updated etc) to keep things in sync.  I already use http file server for small stuff but again that is not good for bidirectional stuff.

Shades, thanks for it. I knew this one(but it did not install properly on my xp64 before) .
The thing is that I do not want to do any registration business, this one you need to register right? I will be using ip to ip and I do not like the privacy issues that might arise due to registration. I should have mentioned in my first post.

Living Room / Looking for P2p file sharing for personal use

« Last post by kartal on June 12, 2009, 08:09 PM »

Hi

I am thinking to use p2p kind of applications to share my files across my computers. Does anyone know any safe application, or any application that can do similar job? I already used Powerfolder which is nice but I need to use this on 6 7 computers and I do not have budget for powerfolder licences right now.


thanks

@tinjaw, test one of the hudson builds of netbeans 7.0. Lots of goodies for python.
The REPL sucks, sure, but you can use an external one and ahk to send clipboard to it.

Netbeans has test coverage for python built-in (7.0). The debugger is pretty good.

Well I think best is to use a text editor with file browser like Notepad++ which supports advanced coding features also. I personally use Eclipse IDE+Vim(with NerdTree) and Notepad++ once in a while. VIm is great for browsing code, it supports many languages but you might feel more comfortable with notepad++. Do not forget to download NP++ plugins.

Developer's Corner / Re: Which Eclipse?

« Last post by kartal on June 07, 2009, 09:08 PM »

I use eclipse+pydev(and c extensions, just started learning c)  and I like it. I am also testing Pydev extensions. One reason I use Eclipse is that I can embed Vim in it. It also has couple vim wrappers. (Although Netbeans has couple vim wrappers too)

I did check out Netbeans, it is actually very nice however there is a weird bug that stopped me moving to it. It highlights the words that is next to the  caret(in Python projects). I can see the merits of this behaviour but I do not like it because I use darker themes and the selection just sticks out. I think this behaviour is hardcoded in the python plugin because in C plugin you can disable it. Notepad++ has highlighting occurences as well but it would highlight only when the user selects the whole word manually. This thing selects the word and highlights automatically.

The other thing I did not like about NetB is the way it is handling C projects. it lets you compile a single file but it wont let you run within the IDE which is weird. It is either not implemented or not working properly. Since I am a C beginner, maybe someone can explain how I should work with in NB.

I tried Komodo IDE and Edit, they are both very nice(one is free), definetely IDE version is very well integrated and has advance functions. I just cannot justify the price for my little projects. Komodo Edit does not have proper Python shell which is a big  minus.

One other alternative is Pyscripter. That one is great and nice but it does not let you have more than one project at a time. On the other hand Eclipse+Pydev offers many projects options.

General Software Discussion / Alt-tab replacement ?

« Last post by kartal on June 07, 2009, 12:02 PM »

Hi

I am looking for a new alt+tab replacement(under xp64). I use taskswitchxp, which is fine. Actually it is one of the best but for some reason sometimes it does not trigger properly and I endup pressing alt+tab many zillion times to invoke. Anyways I am not happy with that particular behaviour.

I have also  tried many others like alttab++,alttab thingy etc and yet I have not found anything that satisfies my needs. Alttab thingy looked nice but it is quite buggy, rezising does not work, v4 had preview problems. I know it is free stuff but as long as it does not work properly being free is kind of irrelevant.

Alttab++ is nice and simple but it does not have any sorting based on name, application.

I use Farr Alt+tab plugin but again this one does not have any sorting either. I know I can type the name but I do not want to type a name when I just need to see what apps are open, or when I need to quickly browse to another app. Farr Alttab is great for if you are into typing and know which app you need to browse to.


What I am looking for

-The listing should include window name, and app name
-Different listing options(icon, list, grid etc)
-Preview would be nice
-Sticky Alttab mode
-Sorting based on different criteria (date, window name, app name, size etc)

UrlSnooper / Re: very confused: downloading youtube with urlsnooper?

« Last post by kartal on June 01, 2009, 10:55 PM »

One more:

1-Click YouTube Batch Downloader (free)

http://eurekr.com/download.html

downloads youtube videos and claims to convert to any format in the process.

from www.shellcity.net

-mouser (May 13, 2008, 08:23 AM)

This is one more way of spying on what people are watching and wanting to download from youtube. The downloader takes you to place called TubeGotchi and asking for a user name. I hope that when users suggest softwares, they make sure that the person who is looking for an application does not get in a lookinglass sites rings or does not get spyware infections. This has been one of the crappiest applications I have seen for a while.

Living Room / Re: Google demonstrates new communication platform "WAVE": mail, chat , wiki, ..

« Last post by kartal on June 01, 2009, 10:33 PM »

I watched it but I have not seen anything interesting or awesome. All those things they have demostrated have been around in this form or that form. It is just centralized in Wave.  Just look at IRC protocol, it has been around for long time. It offers realtime, multiple communication  as well. 

As usual personally I do not care about anything google because they just take  some other people`s ideas and spend big money wrap it in a new package, spend money on advertising and watch people drool. Even the translation feature is not that impressive, most of the IDEs (or free letmetype) have similar code matching features, it happens to be in realtime in wave. They are probably checking against a giant database of daily conversations. Although that kind of query speed can be impressive as it is.

General Software Discussion / Re: you tube downloader for a non techie

« Last post by kartal on June 01, 2009, 01:33 PM »

My favourite YouTube downloader is Ashampoo ClipFinder. You can search many video portals (YouTube, Google, Veoh, DailyMotion etc) at a time or just one, if you prefer. You are presented with video thumbnails, and if you want to download something just right click it and select Download (really!). Also you can create new categories for your videos.

ClipFinder is  free, but you have to register. Attention! Someone somewhere complained that he's been "spammed to death" after registering ClipFinder, but I have only received 2 mails / month max. and only because I wanted to get them. Anyway, you might want to use a throwaway address to get the registration key. Just in case.

Usually I find registering very tiresome and suspicious, but in this case I'm glad I did it.  

ClipFinder is for Windows 2000, XP and Vista 32.

-anne_r (July 24, 2008, 08:11 AM)

This one is  ok but it is so irritating that the user cannot see the titles and text regarding videos. Kind of useless in some ways. Also its converter failed many times.

It cannot activate itself and if something else activates it then that is the malware.

-mouser (May 30, 2009, 08:57 AM)

To get mad about a single key in the registry, or a DLL file that is part of the installer and does nothing but suggest another program you can opt-in to install, is really misplaced concern in my view.  All this hand wringing is best saved for *real* adware, spyware, hidden installs, etc. Stuff that really *does* install programs behind the scenes that users don't want.

-mouser (May 30, 2009, 08:57 AM)

Josh that's incorrect, a DLL sitting there not in use is completely benign. It's only if it is loaded into a process can it cause harm, and even then no more harm than that process itself could do. It getting loaded into some processes address space cannot happen spontaneously, something must load it and that something is then the malicious application, not the DLL.

Sorry to be blunt but you're concerns here are unfounded.

-Eóin (May 30, 2009, 09:26 AM)

What if someone else exploits it? I think some of you are very smart but naive  people.

On the otherhand all I have seen so far either OC had a bug in the installer or it was an honest mistake on the developer`s side or it was some other problems that was causing OC`s unattended invisible installations. Just more excuses for more malign behaviours. You know if noone ever raised anything about these issues, you bet they would not be called bugs or honest mistakes.


Mouser, I am already trying to reach the developers who embedded this OC stuff in their apps. So It is not like I am coming and just bithcing about the same issues over and over again. I hope that more users talk to developers. As someone pointed out the Miro forum, you can see that Miro users are very unsatisfied with Miro`s desicion and I myself bitched about it in ther beta forums as well. They seemed  like they had no idea what OC was up to.

General Software Discussion / Re: SQLNotes...what is it exactly?

« Last post by kartal on May 30, 2009, 12:59 AM »

Well, if I am pasting a raw clipboard image, I would like it to be part of the project. If I am pasting the adress of the image it can stay as url of the image file I think

If I use drag and drop, I probably prefer that it references for the local files but downloads for the online files. Probably providing an option for this can be very helpful.
