maybe a better thing would be to not set SC to start at boot time, and start it manually afterwords, after teh virtual shares are connected?I'm not familiar with virtual shares, so, is this a situation where one could use a startup manager to make things happen in the right order?-mouser (November 14, 2014, 10:21 AM)
To me the functionality is more important though, and the standard orthogonal file manager interface with NC compatible keyboard shortcuts+1-Jibz (November 10, 2014, 01:24 AM)
And now it appears that The Master has... undergone gender reassignment...The thing I could never wrap my head around was the concept of The Doctor as the last of a race of Time Lords. I mean, if these guys are always scampering around in the centuries how are there not any of them left around even if they got killed in the future?Because there aren't any Time Ladies?-MilesAhead (October 26, 2014, 04:47 PM)
The Clipboard Bar's main purpose is a clip viewer window.... and I don't use it. Hence a "no" from me.
This mouse-friendly window also acts as a Drag and Drop target, a Popup
trigger, and clipboard manager.
My first post made the point, not very explicitly perhaps, that there's no "need" to make downloads of CHS that only contain updated files (which is what I understood the OP to want) when one can rely on a good file manager to overwrite new/changed files and ignore the rest. Unless, of course, one is on dialup and really, really wants to minimise download size. I have been in the habit - for about 15 years - of using Total Commander for my file management needs, and almost never use Windows Explorer, so don't know what it offers. I imagine most frequent PC users do likewise....I wouldn't know. As I wrote, I use the much superior Total Commander...Eh? Misses the point.-rjbull (October 20, 2014, 03:13 PM)-IainB (October 20, 2014, 04:16 PM)
@rjbull and @dcwul62: If you open the .ZIP file for the latest portable version and then select and copy all its contents to the installed portable proggie's folder, doesn't Windows Explorer check first and ask you if you want to install newer/older versions and/or overwrite, etc.?I wouldn't know.

The well-liked Win7 and hated/despised Win8 seem to make the unloved Vista Win6 and well-liked XP Win5. So I wondered if there was some kind of ju-ju related to odd vs. even version numbers, and what Microsoft were thinking of to take the risk of jumping over Win9...I run Vista Home Premium, ...-rjbull (October 19, 2014, 04:31 PM)

But don't you want to hear that awesome logoff sound?Is there a "smiley" for apoplexy?-mwb1100 (October 19, 2014, 04:33 PM)
Concordance software for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOSFreeware. Found via Mark Wieczorek's "My Favorite Smallware".
TextSTAT is a simple programme for the analysis of texts. It reads plain text files (in different encodings) and HTML files (directly from the internet) and it produces word frequency lists and concordances from these files. This version includes a web-spider which reads as many pages as you want from a particular website and puts them in a TextSTAT-corpus. The new news-reader, too, puts news messages in a TextSTAT-readable corpus file.
TextSTAT reads MS Word and OpenOffice files. No conversion needed, just add the files to your corpus...
In TextSTAT you can use regular expression which provides you with powerful search possibilities. The programme is multilingual. Because it uses Unicode internally, TextSTAT can cope with many different languages and file encodings.
Breevy is a text expander for Windows that helps you type faster and more accurately by allowing you to abbreviate long words and phrases -- saving you time and money.
Simply define an abbreviation for a longer piece of text, like eml for [email protected].
Then, in the future, instead of typing that longer piece of text, type the abbreviation you associated with that text in any application, and Breevy will automatically replace it for you, instantly.
Xnview (freeware) has a compare toolThanks - are you using XnView or XnViewMP?-tsaint (October 09, 2014, 06:22 PM)
As for me, I am using a 3rd party tool (Beyond Compare) to do a foldercompare of the existing portable version with the new, extracted folder and only update what is necessaryWhy not use an unarchiver that checks for new/changed files? I use the one built into my favourite file manager, Total Commander. It gives various options, a particularly useful one being Overwrite all older.-dcwul62 (October 10, 2014, 11:44 PM)
