General Software Discussion / Re: Roboform, crippling the export function and Bits Du Jour censorship

« Last post by Steven Avery on September 13, 2012, 02:16 PM »

Hi,

yes, I understand 40hz.  For that reason, I may try Keepass again, I load it up all the time but with blank data !

===============

Here is my current post on Bits ! I do not know if it will get posted or not, due to the activation of the moderation queue.

====================

Bits Du Jour - Roboform 2Go
http://www.bitsdujou...ware/roboform2go-v7/

====================
Hi,

Michelle, your answer is puzzling.

Basically,  I really do not think you understand the difference between a print function (designed to show you what data you have in a visual fashion on the screen or on a printed page) and a data export-->import function.   

There is simply no concern on a data export-->import function as to print formatting or being too long on a page, since it is raw data (cvs .html .txt .sql etc).  In many cases, the data is never viewed at all, it is simply used directly for import.

And many people using the export function ended up trying to reload earlier versions of Roboform in order to have the real function needed.

So, I put more information on this on a Donationcoder thread as well as in a post on the lightly-used Bits forum.  (Suggestion: highlight the fact of the forum far more clearly on the front Bits pages... bold, color etc.)

Michelle, it is true that you already gave me an answer of sorts from your tech support people.  So there is no need for me to ask them again, unless they plan to put in a proper export function.  From what you say, it is clear that Siber-Roboform simply has no plans to restore the full export function, which they had for many years.  And that was my question here.

Personally, without a full export function, the program is not of interest to me. Since I may end up with 100 or 200 entries. In which every single one needs modification if I try to use my data anywhere but Roboform. This goes against all philosophies of system and data openness and transparency, and my control of the data I generate.  (Understanding that you need your master password to do any export anyway.)

Thanks for trying, Michelle, anyway.  I realize that software companies often put their public-front PR people in a difficult position, so there is no antagonism meant towards you at all.

Hi cyberdiva,

I was not sure if there was one hit or two over the years, so probably one.  However, you are right that it seems they handled it pretty well, and there were no known heavy-duty repercussions.  Plus, I would expect they tightened their insides since then.  I started using them later.

Like you, I am using LastPass.  I find their interface and information very intuitive, helpful and unobstrusive, all at the same time. Conceptually I was ready to put them up against Keepass, but Keepass seems to make you do much more to actually place in, use and remember the pages properly.

Hi,

To show you the changes in Bits, this is the post on the current thread that was censored:

RoboForm2Go v7
http://www.bitsdujou...ware/roboform2go-v7/

=====================================================

Hi,

Danny -  Top Ten Reviews is not considered reliable, since their operation is based on trying to make commissions on sales. Free software and services are ignored.  As an example, LastPass is listed as at a minimum of $12 per year, but that is only the Premium service, many use the free service.

Siber - does this Roboform have a complete export facility of all the password data, including the full url ?

Steven

=====================================================

UPDATE:  After a long wait, possibly just their sleeping, this was approved, so we can watch for the Siber response.

=====================================================

Based on such a post being censored, it is clear that Bits Du Jour will now suppress flaws and factual corrections and ethical concerns.  btw, Siber's other main program is GoodSync.

Caveat emptor.

=====================================================

NET HISTORY

The About.com article by  Sandra Grauschopf was very helpful.

Mixed Reactions to Roboform's Version 7 Upgrade
http://contests.abou...ersion-7-upgrade.htm

Comment
"Version 6.9 allowed you to export your logins, passwords and URLs for import into other password applications but version 6.10 will not let you export the URL any more "

Lastpass explaining work-around
http://helpdesk.last...rting-from-roboform/

"Siber Systems has changed the export process in the newest version of Roboform - version 7 does not include the option to export your logins with the full site URL. Although you will still be able to export your passcards, they will not be imported to LastPass correctly. Without the full URL of the site, LastPass doesn't know where the login fields are, and autofill will likely be dysfunctional. In order to export with the full URL, you'll have to downgrade to version six."

Since LastPass is a competitor, they are being cordial and explaining this in a matter-of-fact way.  It is the customers and potential customers that tell Siber that with these types of shenanigans they can not be considered an ethical company.

Oh, here is the main part of the "explanation" from Siber for crippling the export.  They mangle the concepts of a print function and an export function to make excuses.

"There was a print list function in 6.9 that printed the entire login URL. Some users used this function as a quasi export function. We received numerous complaints from our users that the Print List function needed to improve, because when users printed their list of Logins, they wasted a ton of paper, and the formatting wasn't great because the login URLs were too long. So we changed the function from printing the full URL to printing the base URL. That's the only change we made. ....We made a change that was based on user feedback. We understand that not all users use our software the same exact way. It's one of the challenges of creating software. What is good for most users may not be good for all users. In this case the majority of our users like the changes, but we have not yet been able to satisfy all users."

Of course, if they wanted an option to print with a shorter url, it would have been trivially easy to give that as a configuration or run-time option.  So the above is all smoke and mirrors.  

=====================================================

btw... currently I use LastPass for passwords, aware that they had security hits a while back and happy to change if seems appropriate (they are very good on ease of use, they seem so far to be simpler in real world usage than Keepass, a major alternative.). And I do not use a sync program, not even Dropbox, I simply occasionally copy to the cloud, since most of my work is on one puter.

General Software Discussion / Roboform, crippling the export function and Bits Du Jour censorship

« Last post by Steven Avery on September 12, 2012, 11:21 PM »

Hi Folks,

Siber Systems from Roboform has done some things that made former customers a bit unhappy, where they felt that the terms of the purchase and licensing was unilaterally changed.  We have discussed that here on some threads. This is not directly about any of that.

====================

With two recent Bits specials, I read up on Roboform issues and found out that, at a time that people were concerned about licensing changes, Siber changed the export function in 6.10 and 7.  Apparently their export function is "Print-to-HTML" and they shortened the url. Which would be fine as an "option" but since the "Print-to-HTML" is their export facility it acts to cripple the export.  ie. If another password program imports the HTML, you then have to change all the urls by hand. For this reason, you will find lots of discussion of Roboform customers actually trying to reload earlier versions of Roboform in order to have a proper export function.

And I asked about this on Bits and got a developer response that was unacceptable, and from that point on, Bits threw out two of my comments and placed my posts on moderation.  (I have purchased in the past many items with them and made many comments.) It really seems like Bits, which used to have a reputation of allowing tuff questions, is now going milquetoast "protectia" for clients.

Note also that there has been an increase of what seem to be shill and social media type "rah-rah" posts from a number of vendors. (I don't blame that on Bits directly but it has weakened the whole concept.)

On the Siber issue, I managed to place a post in the little-read Bits forum (if you can see it):

Bits Du Jour
Siber-Roboform and the ethics of crippling an export function.
http://www.bitsdujour.com/view/id=18437/

From this experience, my former enthusiasm for Bits has been greatly dampened.  Little reason to get involved in discussion (except for maybe the rare situation such as helping with Linkman discussion) and purchases now considered largely done.

General Software Discussion / scripting tool to read emails and move matching embedded graphics & attachments

« Last post by Steven Avery on September 06, 2012, 03:55 AM »

Hi,

Eudora has an interesting technique of saving "embedded graphics" pictures and "attachments" (pictures, PDF, etc) in their own folders, and keeping the actual mail in a rather simple form in an .mbx file .. pointing to the two folders when necessary.  Architecturally, it makes some sense, although I think most mailers keep the pictures (in long string mode) inside the .mbx  file. This is one of the things addressed by conversion and import-export programs.

Now, I have a huge folder, mostly with lots of worthless .jpg, with my Eudora, going back many years, including all sorts of email forum nothings. 

However, about 1% of those (maybe 1000 .jpg) are related to a group of specific emails that I want to archive properly and separately. (Largely corroborative research, using .jpg made by Abbyy Screenshot reader of google and other book text online.)

So I want to read the actual mail of those limited folders with emails to be archived, find the lines like this:

Content-Disposition: inline; filename="file name.jpg
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="int_1.jpg"

(There may be one more for something like hybrid or multi-part.)

And then copy or move all the matching file names into their own special folders.
And I don't mind learning a script language to do this.

What is my tool of choice ?
 Autohotkey ? AutoIt ? Something else ?

Your expertise and thoughts appreciated.

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: $30 Driver Genius 11: $19

« Last post by Steven Avery on July 27, 2012, 10:05 AM »

Hi,

My recommendation :

Double Driver freeware for saving your drivers (can be helpful on an OS reinstall, especially the Ethernet driver and the screen driver.)  Of course, if you have a good early image install, this is less likely to be needed, but it is simple enough to save your files to an external disk (best) and/or a cloud place.

Double Driver
http://www.boozet.org/dd.htm

Many companies are problematic, or have little tricks on the back-end.

Deceitful trick by Driver Magician developer. - March 7, 2009
http://dottech.org/gotdreviews/5034

The Driver Genius product from Avanquest is simply not worth the money, and installing new drivers over working ones is always questionable.  My view .. maybe worth $5 or $10 or so to some as a paid program.  At least it probably does not have tricks, hopefully.  

Maybe as an FYI you might use some program to see how outdated such-and-such is.  Nothing automatic, always try to download from the manufacturer if you think it might actually make a difference, but don't rush to replace any functioning driver.

If someone has a recommended totally freeware, no-toolbar driver product that simply makes recommendations that you could think about installing from the manufacturers website, I would think about that for fun.  Much like I run those programs that tell me about all the updates to my installed programs.

General Software Discussion / Linkman save methodology

« Last post by Steven Avery on July 24, 2012, 06:41 AM »

Hi,

Many of you, like me, probably use Linkman as an all-purpose PIM and information repository, as well as bookmarks.  There is one behaviour I noticed that I want to discuss with the Donationcoder experts.

Linkman has a method of saving to backup files with extensions like .ba0, .ba1, etc.  And this is very helpful for giving you access to a recent copy in case of things like a crash.  You have flexibility as to the frequency of the saves, I choose about 10 minutes, not after every add.

What I find perplexing is that the main file .lmd often is behind the .ba_ files when you reopen Linkman after crashes (this can be a Windows forced reboot, or an occasional Linkman lockup) ... and maybe, at times,  even after exiting the program normally.

What I do in that case, if I remember the problem, is go to the backup files in Total Commander, see which is the biggest ( ba0 ) and then rename the .lmd file to .aaa (or anything) and rename the .ba0 file to .lmd .  Thus I have data that is up-to-date.

However, this seems strange to me, that the .lmd file gets so far behind. That it is not updated at the time of the saves. I've discussed this a bit with Thomas from Linkman, without succeeding in getting him to agree that this is unusual.  Now there may be a problem updating the .lmd file which is in memory, that is a techie question. However, do a test, sometimes I think the problem even exists on normal "exits" (at least it has seemed that way to me), where there is not a memory issue.

So your experiences and perspective is welcome. 
Am I missing something ? Is there something that should be improved ?

Thanks.

Shalom,
Steven Avery

General Software Discussion / pictures to clipboard to email ---> blogs and forums and webpages

« Last post by Steven Avery on July 23, 2012, 08:24 PM »

Hi,

When I work with pictures, often small sections from books, I really want them to be translatable to the web with a minimum of muss and fuss.  

My goal .. take a picture to the clipboard (Abbyy Screenshot Reader) .. place them inline by pasting .. (e.g. to a Eudora or another editor) and somehow get them to web output with a minimum of fuss.

Here is an example of two pics that went to Blogger this way, from an inline pic from Eudora, sent out as an email:

Erasmus and the heavenly witnesses
http://purebible.blo...venly-witnesses.html

Of course, if necessary, once the pic is in Blogger or Wordpress or CMS..theoretically I could modify the size in an editor, maybe, like Windows Live Writer.

Anyway, I am looking for this type of easy picture --> web output in general, whether it involves an email forum, a web forum, a blog (like here), a CMS system, or a webpage.  

Do you always work with pics by saving to a file and then importing ?  (e.g. as an attachment).

Please share your best ways of getting many simple small pics "to the web" .. in a manner where it is in your own articles, as above.

Thanks.

Shalom,

More recent attempt .. about 3 months back ..I picked up one of those English mag DVDs with about 3 or 4 recent Linux installs.  I tried them on 2 different puters.  They always got a glitch before the install was finished, sometimes with all sorts of scrolling text junque.

« Last post by Steven Avery on June 09, 2012, 11:14 PM »

Thanks.

I really like your software (have the pro edition) and I can't find the original rules.  I thought I remembered something about a Facebook +1 being a part of the contest, so I passed. However, I may have been mistaken. I really feel like that whole +1 thing is an abomination, especially when incentive based.  Just want to let you know.  However, if I am confusing contests or something ... oops .. apologies.

ADDED
ok, my error, you only encouraged the facebook thing, it wasn't required, just a comment was required. (And a good pct of the comments were substantive.) All in all it was done reasonably well. I just got diverted .

Also, suggestion:
 you should put the deadline on the announcements, even in the subject line. To help with the "I'll do it tomorrow" syndrome. e.g.
"Hard Disk Sentinel Professional: 25 Lifetime Licenses - entries through June 1, 2012"

Also, I wasn't so sure if it was meant more for newbies who didn't have a license, or if we should use the license on our other puters (I didn't remember the license status offhand, how many pcs are covered), or if we are well covered we should give it away or what. Next time around, if you do similar... you know, like a special donationcoder something ... please put a little sidenote about all that.

And also keep in mind the idea of BillP of WinPatrol. Where he occasionally lets licenses be very inexpensive, a couple of dollars.  (Not necessarily in a contest, but how to work these things is always a puzzle, since you want some limitations, either contest style or total number of license, and/or total number of licenses per user, etc.) That from BillP is one idea that helps keeps the participants focused... but it aint actually a freebie, which is the fun fun fun part.

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Cintanotes at Bitsdujour (soon!)

« Last post by Steven Avery on June 07, 2012, 02:11 AM »

Hi,

My understanding is that CintaNotes has bold and background highlighting, but lacks most RTF ? And does not take images.

Images is a special aspect, and often I use Abbyy Screenshot Reader to get the text out of the images anyway (since that often needs hand-tweaking, I would not trust any auto-OCR, as may be in Evernote or Onenote).  So I can find good uses without images.

The lack of RTF would make it non-functional for personal notes that really are highlight oriented (e.g. ToDo type of stuff). You need to have the color to match and grab attention.

However, I could see Cintanotes being helpful for specific needs, a "quote repository" comes to mind, since I run into many quotes in research (a good number every day) that would be nice to keyword and text save.  Yet even there, quotes tend to have italics of some importance, such as when a quote references a book title, so that lack (if it is a lack) could be frustrating. When I go to "get" the quote, I generally want the full real thing.

I know the developer Alex is trying to upgrade some of these aspects, but I am not sure what qualifies where, in terms of future upgrades. Anyway, I generally do not get a program for future functionality, but for what it does today.

Could those who find CintaNotes especially helpful in a vertical way, with the limitations mentioned, give some ideas how they find it most useful ?

If you give some solid compelling examples, I will ask the developer for an extension of the big $5 discount for the DC thinkers and plodders .

Interestingly, after all this heavy thinking, I see that CollectyCut (one of the alternatives mentioned in the other threads) actually advertises itself specifically as being quote oriented and has a similar look. However, overall, CintaNotes may well have some edges, not just price, but in the current features and ongoing development with forum, etc.  I should see if Zotero is a happy fit as well. The idea of simply an easy-use quote repository is appealing.

Hi,

The last week, I have been comparing various notes and sticky programs, Ubernote, Internote, WebNote, QuotePad (CintaNotes copycat), NoteZilla, Stickies, with the idea of being more net oriented where sensible (e.g. Ubernote so far beats Zoho and Springnote on ease of use and comfortable and quick editing, even if weaker in page overviews).

CintaNotes looked very good in some ways, except that it was in between everything. If I remember it did not have a sticky aspect AND it did not have an RTF editing aspect.  (Just colors for a note, stuff like that.)  Also, it did not have an elegant notebook (perhaps explorer-style) page system, as mentioned above, more like a heap.

It is very possible that I am missing something in these lacks. I'd like to have a good reason to give it a go, so please let me know where it shines, and what I am missing above.

Incidentally, on web-page stickies, Internotes is winning, despite its primitive editing.  It is smart about domains, while Stickies and NoteZilla are dumbos, working with the Windows function for open windows (fergot the name offhand). However they are very good for desktop and attaching to a program, just not a web-page.

Thanks.

Correction - $15 for the pro on the deal today at GAOTD

The program is fun to work with.  No direct integration with startup manager. It would take a while to compare A, B, C.  The ultra-configurable column layout is nice, lots of good info.  2+hours to decide....zzzz

Here are the pro features:

Task configurations management
Any number of configurations can be created and loaded if necessary

Resource usage statistics
Thus you can determine which programs use the most resources, slowing down the computer

Security control
Checking program files for modifications and notifications about new programs

And  you get a full, real registration to the top-line product (unless there is a supercalifragilistical ultimate). Actually if the program went network, enterprise, that would be sort of justified (network edition).

=============================

Notice that the suggestion box of GAOTD was for the most part quite sensible.
http://www.giveawayo...ge-1/#comment-281128
(Not the voting score, though.)

Any thoughts of note ?  Splurge for the pro ?  (One issue is whether I should be using configurations or whether such management should all be in Process Tamer or Lasso.  Is there management that is not overlap ?)

Resource Usage Statistics has some pizazz.

Security Control would have to be tested out compared to the current HIPS mix.

There is probably enough there for the Paypal account dent.  However, that is partly because I have become a solid fan of Chameleon Startup Manager (especially the configuration implementation) and share my feedback with Evgeni.  Not necessarily because of a gaping need.

===============

Ok, went for it.  Checked the 3 puters-1 user policy, which is fine.  Considered waiting so as to buy Bits or here, rather than Giveaway, but felt it best simply to get it done and work with the full program.

And correction: Startup Manager and Task Manager apparently do at least share the same tray source program.

-Ennovy (April 16, 2012, 06:39 AM)

I like the idea of getting the software since Evgeni is responsive and actually enhancing his programs.

On the other hand, in terms of the Pro .. we have overlap, with some of the pro skills overlapping with Process Tamer and Lasso (maybe Anvir has those skills too).  I will conjecture that you really want to settle on one, and that will probably be Tamer or Lasso.  Note, though, that Chameleon is strong on "configurations" (very well implemented in the Startup program) so it may be competitive in that tweak mix.

The resource usage statistics may be good too.  Lots of programs show you usage at a glance, few give you a longer perspective.

Security Patrol sounds like a little HIPs oriented, probably some overlap, probably nice in some ways.

$30 with the discount ?  Close call on my end. May do it partly because I know that Evgeni is so active. It is true that (unlike Startup) there are a number of very worthy and solid alternatives, freeware or freemium.  (First time I ever wrote that word .. hmmm.. checking for thunder and lightning.)

========================

If not the Pro, the Standard download will be good.  An opportunity to compare, without concern of quick expiration. I still consider DTaskManager the solidity standard.  That is the one I use to actually replace the Windows TM. A lot of times System Explorer says "load me too".

Hi,

For actually mapping and unmapping, I switched to Softperfect Network Scanner (freeware, and recommended by 4Sysops,
Softperfect is a very neat company). Seems to make it much simpler, almost as an afterthought.  So my network is going ok now,
I think. Well I am noticing that to share a full drive they want to go through "Shared Docs' which is a little strange.  Maybe I will simply
do it by two distinct folders.  (The way I have it, one does not work.) - Correction - now the drive shows up as its own drive.

Addition: even Eudora came up just fine. With a warning about the dual instances.  True multi-access.  Vue-Minder calendar I did
right away, excellent.  I would like to do Stickies but he makes that a registry entry to share so it has to be done carefully.

Softperfect shows you the shares and has a very simple and crisp mapping (right-click) option, with persistency included.
They have a disconnect menu item that unmaps. All fine.

 However, I don't think this will help me with DriveHQ and remote places,
it is just simplifying home network functioning.

Hi,

Let's revisit this a bit.  I don't like to bomb out a Eudora download.  Probably the best way to check that is CPU for the program.  Do any of the freewares do that ?  If not, then which unfree is worth the heft ?

Many programs seem to test total CPU.  However, how about individual ?

============

I looked at Splinterware again, free version. (Remember, I had a bomb-out so I reinstalled clean.)  Pretty simple.  An example of what it does not have is "do these now" (only one at a time).  Or do all in an hour from now.  Still, as a nice automatic daily ccleaner, defrag, backup, etc. it looks very competent.  Gives you a good log file too.

Splinterware has the plus of fairly recent new tweak version, and a forum with mild activity.

Any other schedule notes ?
