-it's quite good.

But I don't use it. Why? Because  of the GUI !  ;D
it reminds of the neighbour's kid: "hey, mom, look at me!"

But of course, only when visible. It does auto-hide.

Of course, the next version may become payware, but I don't think it will. Macroplant used to be named myPod Apps, and Phone Disk always has been freeware.

-I take it that their 'hot-fix' helped, then.

Are you using a wide screen monitor, Darwin? I ask because I have (a 4:3 monitor, and) a license for AWM, but I have not found any reason to install the program. Knowing that you have gone the minimalistic way, so you won't use AWM just for the fun of it, I suddenly realized that just maybe AWM really can be useful to me, as well! HOW do you use it?

Edited: their site is okay again. What on earth do I answer to their question: "*What do you download Actual Window Manager for?*"???!!!

What was the last change you made to your system, before the problem first occurred? When you installed WizMouse, you were reminded that Admin Rights are important (to scrolling). Maybe something has changed your privileges (Easus, WDS, Opera α, etc)?

-from http://bulkimagedown...anced-configuration/

Note that some web sites go to extreme lengths to block the use of automated image downloaders such as BID. Because of this it may not always be possible to configure BID to download from such sites. However, if you come across such a problem site please contact us and send us the details. If there's enough demand we can investigate supporting the site as a “special case” in a future release of BID.

Include List

 
If BID finds no images when scanning a web gallery page, you can force it to detect the images by adding regular expressions that match the full sized image links.

Suppose all the full sized image links look like this:
http://trickywebsite.com/pics/largesize/<random nunber>/

To force BID to detect these as valid full sized image links you would add the following regular expression to the “Include list”:
<trickywebsite.com/pics/largesize/>

This would match any link that contains “trickywebsite.com/pics/largesize”.

Some full sized image pages only display “medium sized” images and have links to pages containing larger or original sized images. To force BID to follow such links add a regular expression matching this link to the include list prefixed with an asterisk (*). This also works for cases where BID does not find the the correct full sized image on the page.

For example, suppose our “full page” link contains a link to the original sized image that looks like:
http://example.com/i...ized/(imagename).jpg

We would add the following line to the include list:
*<example.com/images/fullsized/>

Some web sites use non standard methods to generate thumbnails. To help find these thumbnails on a web page add a matching regular expressions prefixed by 2 asterisks (**). For example:
**<thumbnailgenerator.php?id=>

1. When logging into the web site from your browser, always enable the "remember me" (or equivalent) option. This causes the login information to be written to a cookie.

2. Always launch BID from your browser's right click context menu (right click inside the web page to access it). This allows BID to receive the current cookie information directly from the browser.
 
3) For best results with such sites we recommend FireFox 3.5 or better with the BID FireFox extension installed. The reason for recommending FireFox is that when combined with the BID FireFox extension, it's possible for BID to load all current cookie information. Depending on the way a web site is set up, other browsers may not make all of the relevant cookie information available, causing BID to fail to download correctly.

pre-announcement of a new project:

http://bitsum.com/re...stry_cleaner_fix.php


RegCleanerFix Utility

This is a pre-announcement of a new project we are working on, a fix for registry cleaner damage. Here we DIFFERENTIATE 'registry cleaner' from 'registry repair'. The former simply deletes garbage from the registry, which the latter repairs invalid references and missing values.
-BITSUM

SYNOPSIS

This project is all about repairing the damage made by many popular registry cleaners. In the race for ever more aggressive registry cleaning, many registry cleaners end up deleting keys necessary to the proper functionality of the OS and installed applications. The cumulative effect of running many registry cleaners over time can result in all sorts of strange errata. We aren't going to 'name names' or criticize the specific registry cleaners, we'll simply repair the damage. We also have no intention of getting in any debate about the usefulness of registry cleaners.

-BITSUM

IMPLEMENTATION:

This is a 100% free and open project meant to repair the damage done to the OS and installed applications by poorly written registry cleaners. To our knowledge, no project like this has ever existed. This project consists of 'repair sets', which are essentially lists of keys that should not have been deleted. These repair sets can be easily created with utilities we have created, or can be constructed manually. Their format will be the same as .REG files, meaning they'll be compatible with RegEdit.

However, given the nature of the registry keys, where paths may sometimes need adjusted for a particular system, we must compliment these repair sets with a utility that properly applies the repair sets. The utility will also skip keys that already exist, to ensure that those values aren't over-written. In other words, its a little more than simple REG file import via RegEdit, which would replace existing registry values instead of just repair missing ones. Lastly, since OS damage is specific to each individual edition of Windows, the repair sets will be specific to editions of Windows.
-BITSUM

WIKI

We will soon host this project on an open WIKI, allowing anyone to contribute knowledge and repair sets. Our intention is for this project to be a community effort. By using the power of the entire community, we can freely repair the collective damage done by registry cleaners.
-BITSUM

# Problem #1: Lost CHM File Association - Known to be deleted by some of the most popular registry cleaners.
Download and import (open) this .REG file: Fix lost CHM file association.zip (direct link)

# Problem #2: Could not access VBScript run time - This is common problem, and a serious one as it can impede the installation or uninstallation of software amongst other things.
Try the suggestions at this site: Fix Could not access VBScript runtime

I am still using B.I.D every day. Unfortunately, Flickr has changed their setup (in order to protect against easy downloading, I think). One of the new but bad features on Flickr is, that the photographers now can "protect" their photos from being downloaded. This on a site that has the motto, "share your photos"!!

When I come across such a page but want the photo anyway, I go to the neighbouring photo, and right-click > "Open in B.I.D." , and B.I.D. will find the largest version available, all correctly pre-named (together with the four neighbouring photos). Of course, B.I.D can also find the picture when B.I.D is being loaded from the original photo's page, but then the photo will not be pre-named properly.

I think this feature is quite smart, considering that the purpose of Flickr's new setup apparently is not to share your photos!

The "$20 today only, normal price $30" has been there for so long that I feel safe to say the normal price now really is $20.
