Yea, I was just tinkering with it as well.  The "Listeners" feature is interesting.  It doesn't provide a pop-up list of clips though.  It only shows you one at a time and you have to use the arrow keys to cycle through them.... 
I think I like Mouser's Clipboard Help+Spell better....

I think a zombie apocalypse would be better.  That way natural selection would tend to preserve people who are faster or smarter or just have good immune systems.  As a result, the human race would be a bit less fragile in future generations....  

Nuclear war wouldn't have this effect.  Plus nuclear war would probably pollute the earth more.

Just fyi:  The CMF app icon in the context menu http://i.imgur.com/Ak0qD.png shows up in Win 7 but is not there in Vista.  Not that it matters to me either way.  Frankly it bugs me the way Windows shows some of the icons, but leaves other spots blank...  Makes me OCD.  I'd just as soon hide them all...

Other note:  I like the StarPunch starcards you have.  My "day job" is actually that of school psychologist, and my training is mostly in applied behavior analysis, so I have an appreciation for such things

Yea, sorry about that...  I was clicking the 'Blog' links...   Sometimes my hand clicks faster than my brain thinks.

v3 looks awesome.  The List View definitely is faster than the Icon View.  And the customizable icon sources seems to work well.   Thanks for adding those

The folder opening at the beginning was not caused by closing CMF.  I was just doing that to show what I had going on in my My Documents folder.
(note that the screen cast has audio, which explains a bit of what I was doing)
I guess you're right about shell32.dll having some blanks http://i.imgur.com/tBitx.png I never noticed before...
The issue of icons not always refreshing right away is a bit annoying, but I am aware that this is a Windows flaw (I've seen it in other programs).

THe only other thing worth looking into is that strange bit of CMF only displaying the chosen icon (see ~3 minutes in on the cast).

Idea:  When CMF is loading the contents of a large folder or DLL, would it be possible for it to cancel loading when a double-click is detected??  That way, if I see the icon I want to choose, I can imediately access it, rather than having to wait for the entire thing to load...

Very cool!  Seems to work well.
I agree about making the 'Color My Folder' folder location optional though. 

I use CMF on my work laptop.  My 'My Documents' is on my employer's network, rather than on my local C Drive.
As a result, My Documents is only accessible when I'm plugged in to the network.   (Which is frustrating since I often type reports from home).

fyi: The link on your site still says v2.2.

@RobC:  I'm just curious why you don't like it when an app puts a new folder?  Do you mean at the same level (in the same parent folder) as the ZIP file?

It seems logical to me that it should work this way.  As far as I'm aware, a zip file is just a folder that's been zipped.  If I "unzip" it, then I'd expect it to be a folder again, and be in the same location.  Putting new folder essentially does this--right?

Some file managers will offer previews.  I use xplorer2, but there are freebies out there.  Like Total Commander.  http://www.ghisler.com/  Does anyone know if TC will preview PDFs as native?

Other ideas....

1. Make the 'Display Icon Names' feature optional.  I usually don't name my icons. 
2. Reduce margins between the icons (top, bottom, and sides) so more fit in the window.
3. Make it so that--if the window gets resized--the icons get redrawn to take up window (top of image, see empty space in right side of window).

4.  This one might be a bit complicated...  Have it so that the user can put folders (of icos) or DLLs in the C:/Program Files/Color My Folder/Custom folder, and CMF will look there and list those items in the Icons Menu (top of image).  Or even better, make the custom collections available via a toolbar (bottom of image).

Just thots

Hmmm...  No luck accessing folder of ICOs on Win 7


Goto http://starpunch.net
or email [email protected]
 
    Program name:     Color My Folder
    Version number:   1.0.0.0
    Windows name:     What windows, XP? Vista? 7? 2k? 98?
    Windows version:   6.1|7601
    Error number:     16
    Line Number:      602


I then tried making a folder with only a few ICOs and put it right on the desktop...  Got same error code.

Hey the registered version looks awesome.  I like the ability to access DLLs.  I did notice that I occasionally got an error message.
http://i.imgur.com/8bcdR.png
It would be great if I could point CMF to a folder of ICO files as well.  

Thanks.   And thanks again to Skwire  

Edit:  In the image, it's a huge DLL.   255 icons.  Not sure if that matters.
