General Software Discussion / Re: HashTab - Great little tool ...

« Last post by PhilB66 on January 10, 2009, 08:40 AM »

HashCheck Shell Extension does that too (and is much smaller in size). It is for both 32-bit and x64 Windows.

HashCheck can process and verify the checksums/hashes stored in checksum files--these are files with a .sfv, .md4, .md5, or .sha1 file extension. Just double-click on the checksum file, and HashCheck will check the actual checksums of the listed files against those specified in the checksum file.

HashCheck will add a "Checksums" tab to the shell's file properties dialog so that you could easily check the hash of a file (or even multiple files and directories) from Windows Explorer. You can also save the results to a checksum file.

HashCheck adds an optional "Create Checksum File" command to the shell's context menu.

1. To copy text from Windows Error Message... CTRL + C, open text editor and then hit CTRL + V. 

2. See rjbull's post for a few freeware tools to extract text from window controls.

OK, SilentNight MicroBurner is an easy to use, portable CD burner. It saves settings in the application folder. The program's home page is gone, but you could download the last freeware version from the Portable Freeware Collection Website (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=106)

Sorry being dense - how do you set what type of disc to write in AmoK - I can't seem to see how you make and AudioCD - it just seems to create a CD-ROM ??

-Carol Haynes (January 08, 2009, 10:31 AM)

There are several plugins on the download page (scroll down for the audio one).

BTW, Dirk Paehl is the author of this software. You can find more burning software on his Website

« Last post by PhilB66 on January 08, 2009, 10:33 AM »

1. Here's how I'd do that...



Oops, image not clear. it should read "Version Info" (button to the left) and the last one should read "Give Justice Feedback (Online)".

2. I do not like the popup confirmation box (and the extra mouse click  ).



Just take me straight to the program page online / support forum. You need to add info about JustCloseSomeTasks @ http://justice.dcmembers.com/

3. And here's an idea for an online feedback form (you may want to add a "donate" button there as well)...



Cheers.

I believe you can run it as a portable app... just extract the installer (a self-extracting ZIP archive) with Universal Extractor... et voilà.
