General Software Discussion / Re: WinTasks Pro ... Windows Explorer is a trojan - yeah right!

« Last post by Darwin on December 18, 2007, 05:49 PM »

Yes, and its age shows as well. I am familiar enough with TUT and WinTasks to overlook the explorer.exe as trojan warnings, but I do think that if nothing else a GUI update is long overdue.

There's life in GemX yet...! I've just received an e-mail advising me of a 50% off Christmas sale. Be interesting to see what this means/yields.

Living Room / Re: Korean scientists clone cats glowing in dark

« Last post by Darwin on December 18, 2007, 03:22 PM »

The past couple of days I've been trying to convince my wife of the benefits of owning a glow in the dark cat. She's just been saying it's weird and freaky. Last night as we were laying in bed, going to sleep, I said, "Wouldn't it be cool if I had glow in the dark skin?"

She laughed.

Great, no sooner do I post the above, than I read this post (by Pierre!):

Hey what about simply Sequel ? (as in the next step in information management)

Orignial post here.

I do like Sequel...

But following from it and a couple of comments made in that thread, how about either:

Sequitur
or
Pro Sequitur

Global Commander and Total Information are good 

I'm reading through the rename thread at the SQLNotes website and note that SQL is pronounced Sequel, so why not

Sequel or SequelNotes?

Sequel is appropriate because you store, organize and manage data and ideas in the app and are able to revisit them later...

Lashiec - The Ultimate Troubleshooter does it that way, too... I actually moved from WinTasks Pro to TUT because I found the information that it provides easier to locate and understand. Still have WinTasks installed, though...

Yeah, well... I have an obsession! I keep buying the damn things! Anyway, I do use them all, but more or less to learn them and their ins and outs. Of course, I don't have time to do this properly so there are major gaps in my knowledge (you know, simple things, like how to bring up a context menu in TC ).

Good point, Pierre, but we have to think *really* carefully about what name is applied in that case, for the reasons that both Aram and I have outlined above.

Darwin begins to think... and his head starts to throb - too much unfamiliar activity...

Nice suggestions, Superboyac. One thing I realize from looking at the list of suggestions on the sqlnotes site is that the name SHOULD be descriptive of what the software does - names like Squirrel and Synergy (which I actually quite like, too) are liable to start sounding dated and a bit silly as time goes by...

How about Data Commander?

[OT]As an aside... I love TC! However, I do find it counter-intuitive NOT to have a context menu at all. This, no doubt, is something that I just need to get used to. That said, I love the keyboard navigation features.

I'm in the minority, it seems, in finding TC's GUI quite attractive, though its masked on my system at the moment because I've installed TC Ultra Prime on top of it.[/OT]

This won't help you, really, Marek and Superboyac, but you can cycle through the viewer filters via the context menu when you initiate it from the viewer itself.

I just counted the number of file managers that I have installed with licences... 11 (12 if you include NT 4's File Manager with Winability FMStepUp and Wincorner's FMView 2 installed - this is a KILLING setup, actually). I keep finding little things about all of them that I love. Have to be honest, though, DOpus reigns supreme for me WRT GUI, ease of use, etc. This could be familiarity more than anything else, but there it is...

Just an update to the above - the multiview bug only shipped in the first couple of days following Dopus 9.1's release, so check out whether or not your installation is functioning correctly before downloading and installing the updated plugin (ie if Multiview is functioning as expected, ignore the above!).

The multiview plugin for Dopus (which allows you to use Stellent viewers to preview files in the viewer) was broken in 9.1. You can download a fix from the link below. As noted in nudel's post accompanying the fix, this will ship with the next update.
