Update. Looks like a few like the idea so I made it so you can make your own format string to add to the file (and Prepend to file). See the ReadMe.txt for format options. Download from first post and see updated screen shot.

Sorry about the spelling, It's not my strong suit. :-)

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / AppendDate

« Last post by c.gingerich on May 11, 2012, 01:09 PM »

Since I write a lot of code and have tone of versions and files and archive a lot of files. I used to manually add the date to the end of files, but I started doing it so much I made an app for it. This adds an AppendDate item to the context menu of files. When you select it, it adds the current date to the end of the file name (i.e. MyFile_20120511.txt) You can change the date format in the settings dialog. Hope you find it as useful as I do.



[UPDATE]
Now works on folders

[EDIT]
Made it so you can make your own format string to add to the file. See the ReadMe.txt for format options.

Sounds like you are talking about something like Pinterest but as a local app. Would Pinterest not work for what you are requesting?

Thanks 

Small update. You can drop more than one folder and it will ask you for a password to use for all of them. Download from above again.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Lock Folder

« Last post by c.gingerich on May 10, 2012, 03:52 PM »

Lock Folder is just a small app that uses the built in feature of Windows to lock a folder (Win XP or higher). No encryption or high security. Just enough to keep most people out and great to keep kids out of your personal stash.   No install, just run and drag and drop a folder on the dialog. Enter a password and the folder is locked. To unlock, drag and drop the locked folder on the dialog and enter the correct password and the folder will be unlocked. The folder CAN be accessed if you forget the password (as I said, not high security), but you'll have to do the research on how to gain access without the password yourself.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / URL-Run

« Last post by c.gingerich on May 10, 2012, 01:50 PM »

URL-Run allows you to run a LOCAL application using a normal HTML link (with some adjustments). This is useful for kiosks, library systems and other uses. Programs CANNOT be run from across a network. The only way is the user needs to click on a link to run the app and URL-Run must be installed on the local system. There is a warning message that shows when an application is about to be run (this can be disabled in the registered version to allow for uninterrupted running of apps). A working knowledge of HTML is needed to use URL-Run. I first made it back in the days when there was Active Desktop (remember that?) so a cool web page could be made as the user's desktop and have a nice new type of launcher. I decided to release it because it was just sitting on my external drive collecting dust.

Have you updated to the most current versoin? (v1.0.1.0)? Can you open the folder where FastUnzip snack is installed and double click on FastUnzip Snack.exe, what happens? Do you get the settings dialog or do you get a info box saying to run the settings from the start menu? If you run the settings, the RAR File Association box is checked?

I am asking all this because I cannot find anything wrong in the code (yet) and my copy is working on RAR files. I'm sure I missed something, just trying to find out what.

Yep, another update.  Added the settings option to add "Convert to ZIP" and/or "Convert to RAR" to the folder context menu. It will convert the selected folder to a ZIP or RAR archive then delete the folder. To convert to an RAR archive you MUST have a registered version of WinRAR installed and set as your Open With app in the settings. DL from my site or use the update feature.

Another update. I didn't take into account UAC in Vista/7. I moved the settings to a sep exe so I could require admin to write to the registry. If I left that in an added require admin to the main app, it would show every time it was run to extract an archive. You can download from my website or if you got the previous version from today you can try the update function.

New version is available. Download from http://starpunch.net
Added DCUpdater and a few small tweaks. Not sure if this will fix your refresh issue as i didn't change anything to that part of the code since I first added it.

Should be fixed now. I'm eventually going to add dcupdater to most of my apps now. Just might take me a bit to get around to it.

If we do get space, i dont know how to access it. I cant find anything in my profile settings. I guess i could just keep updating here, but i just need to keep track of what thread i posted on to update that file each time. I should really build in an update function into my software.

Ok. I fixed the error. You can DL from the update my website. It's not very well done, but I really don't have any other place to put my stuff other than on dropbox. I don't have the money to buy space anywhere. The best I have is a free 100 mb site that I was given which is not enough and a registered domain that I may not be able to keep up with when it runs out, so DB will have to do.
