General Software Discussion / iTunes folder content based on Albums?

« Last post by sri on August 06, 2007, 06:26 AM »

I let iTunes organize the music folder.

I have 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' checked in the Prefs and then consolidated the library.

The folders that iTunes creates in the folder are by Artist. How do I change this so the folders are by Albums instead?

General Software Discussion / Re: PIM's

« Last post by sri on May 09, 2007, 03:51 AM »

do-Organizer is the only one I tried.

I stopped using it after I discovered EverNote (I know it's not a PIM) not because do-O is bad, but because I didn't need the advanced stuff it has to offer.

Give it a try. You might like it. A very nice feature it has is a dockable bar that has buttons for contacts, calendar, scribe (notes), etc. which is hidden and only appears when you mouse over..so you v. quickly reach out for any of the sections in it.

You see, I want to reduce that one extra step in reaching to my favorite folders and files in windows explorer. Currently in WE -> press ctrl+I and only then will you get the favorites displayed.

W/ QTT, you still have to click on the star dropdown and select the group you wanna launch.

I am the 'tutorial people' you are refeering to 

It's one of my abandoned web sites. Perhaps upgrading that site's engine, Pligg to the latest version will fix the problem.

BTW, it appears fine in IE6. I don't have IE7 to test.

Thanks Nighted. QTT is indeed nice. If only I can figure out how to have both folders and favorites show up in the left bar at the same time..I can uninstall XYPlorer then.

General Software Discussion / Show both folders and favorites at the same time in windows explorer?

« Last post by sri on May 06, 2007, 03:55 AM »

Is it possible to have both folders and favorites shown one below the other to the left side in windows explorer?

If the above question is not clear, pls read this:

[13:43] <srikat> is it possible to view folders and favorites both one below the other in windows explorer?
[13:46] <app> what do you mean?
[13:47] <srikat> do you have WE open?
[13:47] <app> yes
[13:47] <srikat> is 'folders' selected in the toolbar?
[13:48] <app> you want it to be?
[13:48] <srikat> ya, for once just select it
[13:48] <app> ok
[13:48] <srikat> now press ctrl+I
[13:48] <app> L?
[13:48] <app> or i?
[13:49] <srikat> i
[13:49] <srikat> notice how favorites are shown in the left and folders are gone
[13:49] <srikat> I want to view both folders and favorites at the same time
[13:49] <srikat> one beneath the other
[13:49] <srikat> do you know if it's possible?
[13:49] <app> so you want that as a split panel?
[13:49] <srikat> yes
[13:50] <app> maybe back in 9x...but i don't think in 2k+
[13:50] <srikat> what a pity
[13:50] <srikat> I'll post in the forum to see if anyone knows

Nighted: What do I do to enable the previews of images on hovering over the file names? I have QTT installed and can see the tabs and its buttons. But mouse over on picture files doesn't show the preview.

General Software Discussion / Any freeware alternatives to Instant ThumbView?

« Last post by sri on May 04, 2007, 04:33 AM »

http://www.contextma....com/instant-viewer/

It is an instant image viewer that displays thumbnail (reduced picture), of selected file in a tooltip window next to the mouse pointer. It supports a lot of popular image file formats, including BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WMF, EMF, TIFF and so on.

As Instant ThumbView is a Windows shell extension, it is always ready and available to use. To bring it up, open any folder with image files in Windows Explorer, and then hover an image file with your mouse pointer. You will see the tooltip saying Extracting Thumbnail..., and then the image thumbnail should be displayed as shown on the screenshot.

I am not looking for a separate program, but rather a free app which adds the above functionality to the regular windows explorer. Any ideas?

Found Deals and Discounts / DirectAccess - Text Expander program for free today at GAOTD

« Last post by sri on May 03, 2007, 04:03 AM »

Direct Access speeds up your personal computing experience by reducing time consuming, repetitive task through the use of abbreviations. Type an abbreviation in any application and Direct Access will detect it and perform the task you desire.

Imagine typing a piece of correspondence in your favorite word processor and then typing the abbreviation “sign” to affix your closing and signature to the document. You can also use the abbreviation shortcuts to open applications, websites, your email client and do web searches. You can invoke abbreviations from any program.

Thanks for links to other similar apps.

I found out the prob w/ PhraseExpress on this laptop. It's conflicting w/ XMPlay. Once I close XMPlay, it's all fine.

Great program for a freeware!

PhraseExpress organizes your frequently used text snippets and allows pasting them into any application.

Expand abbreviations as you type
Quickly handle email responses
Launch applications by entering shortcuts

Video demo: http://www.phraseexpress.com/demo.htm

I added some phrases to a folder in PE and associated a hot key to bring up the items in this folder. The menu comes up when selecting any item and hitting return doesn't paste the phrase.

Any idea what's wrong? I would've posted on their official forum but for the spammy posts filled up there.
