it has a unique feature: Append filepath to Clipboard. which means you can copy different filepaths one by one and it will all snowball into the same clipboard item..

in any case, i'm still using it. i just refrain from right-clicking in SC's thumbnail pane..

« Last post by lanux128 on December 05, 2006, 10:16 PM »

i forgot to mention this earlier..

i had a suspicion that the crashes were due to other software that hook onto explorer's context-menu and thus conflicts with SC's thumbnail pane. so to confirm this, i uninstalled all 3rd party shell extensions & tried them one at a time.. in the end, it was a "CopyPath" shell extension causing the problem, because after that there are no more right-click crashes..

Note: SC version 2.28.01

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Giveawayoftheday - Jetstart Pro - for a very limited period

« Last post by lanux128 on December 05, 2006, 12:06 AM »

However, the real issue is the type of license that it offers, that you must install within a certain time window. Which means if you have a computer crash and or just a system or OS upgrade, you basically lose the ability to use the program unless of course you are now hooked on it and go buy a new license, unless you have a utility to move the software over legally.

yes, this giveaway thingy seems like a new category of software license - like 'one night only' gigs.. this is a good choice for trivial and/or new programs, that normally we wouldn't care to install. and looking back, they did give away some cool programs but i don't think i will take up the offer for data-related programs..
