I would like the file names' time and date stamps to be re-written soWow... I never saw a program that can do it, but I really wonder why you want to do this!

From official announcement (http://citizendium.org/):I like the more 'anarchist' approach of Wikipedia. From the article you linked:We believe a fork is necessary, and justified, both to allow regular people a place to work under the direction of experts, and in which personal accountability--including the use of real names--is expected. In short, we want to create a responsible community and a good global citizen.-mouser (October 21, 2006, 09:51 PM)
That said, I am troubled by some aspects of Sanger's Citizendium. Aside from its pretentious title (which participants are already saying must be changed), this feels in some ways like an attempt by old-guard academics to retake control of humanity's knowledge. - Jason SanfordThose were almost exactly my thoughts after I heard about Citizendium on the radio!
Basically what I think works in a wikis is to trust people to do the right thing, and trust them as much as you can possibly stand it, until it hurts your head and makes you scared for what they're going to break. Because that is what works. - Jimmy Wales
My belief is that Wikipedia's success dramatizes instead a change in the nature of authority, moving from trust inhering in guarantees offered by institutions to probabilities created by processes. - Clay Shirky
i'd like to make a suggestion, if i may be so bold, for improving 'Locate'...Since real time system monitoring is slowing your system down by default (even if only a bit), I doubt it will be added to Locate. I don't miss that btw, I only rarely need to update my Locate databases manually between the scheduled intervals.
if the real time system monitoring was implemented (like in 'filetracer'), i'd also like to see something similar to the way 'find and run robot' displays the search results, i.e. real time sorting/displaying of the results as you type.-nudone (October 23, 2006, 03:52 AM)
I haven't bothered to read any reviews before I take the time-out to write this one. Forgive me if this review of mine is unorthodox.Hi! It sure would help if you read the 3 'pinned' posts in https://www.donation...index.php?board=42.0 and then edit your review after doing so.-WhiteLion (October 22, 2006, 02:37 AM)
I've used alot of hard drive file finding programs, and spent days looking for one several years ago. The one that I found that did most of what I want is FileTracer. It's not perfect, and it's not free, but it works great. It works in real-time and I've never noticed a system slowdown because of it.If you like it so much, please consider to write a mini-review about it. If "works in real-time" means that it doesn't index files it's not really comparible to Locate, since you don't have the blazing speed then.-tim254 (October 20, 2006, 12:47 PM)
One of it's coolest features is the capability to work with "open file" and "save file" dialogs. I can find any file on my system and paste it's path within seconds with FileTracer, no wasting time browsing to the file via the "open" dialog box.I'm not sure I understand 100% what you mean, but Locate offers lots of stuff around 'making your life easier with files and paths' too.
I really only have one issue with it ... if you add / remove external hard drives all the time and you reboot, it wants to re-index your hard drives. However, if you press ignore it'll still work since it didn't delete the database. One last thing, the developer is not very responsive, at least he hasn't been with me.Hm... so you have to pay for FileTracer, there's a severe bug and the coder won't fix it? That's 3 more reasons why I love Locate!
I've evaluated Locate 3.0 (plus dozen of other programs) and I didn't like the way it work in comparison to FileTracer.Please share what you missed in Locate, it just might be added!
I also advise people on KM stuffKM what? Please elaborate.-melitabel (October 19, 2006, 03:56 PM)
oh, yes..This must be your blind week!
forget to say "another software"
bc I don't like collectorz..
And the other software here discussed is just for on-HD and I need to catalog thousands of cd/dvd with mp3s-Dr-Leech (October 18, 2006, 05:27 PM)
A quick update: I like MediaMonkey even better now, it's great to archive old mp3 files on CD or DVD. Give the CD/DVD a unique name when burning (i.e. date when burned), let MediaMonkey add its content to the database and you are ready to search all your mp3 files (whether archived or still on your PC) in no time!
If you want to test it (it's free!) you'll find the URL two posts above.-brotherS (April 20, 2006, 02:51 PM)
And also.. for catalog CDs and DVDs with MP3s ?Please read the posts above-Dr-Leech (October 18, 2006, 05:05 PM)
D. Allen was using mind maps (instead of powerpoint), he seems to swear by them. Have you tried them? Any thoughts?I have and it's a nice way to structure thoughts and ideas. I can't say that it changed my life, but I like it.-urlwolf (October 16, 2006, 09:44 AM)
try Pando.http://www.pando.com/how_it_works explains how it works, should be good for when you often send files.-kimmchii (October 09, 2006, 05:28 PM)
Now what would be perfect would be if you could add it to your contact list on msn/aim/yahoo/etc and just message it and it message you back your reminders at same screen name you used without the need to actually sign up.Being able to add reminders by using AIM/ICQ/etc. sounds like a great idea!-app103 (October 04, 2006, 09:32 AM)
I tried to... only to see that the Nightly Tester Tools extension requires at least FF 2.x!Thanks, I'd like to use that with my Firefox 1.5.0.6, but...-brotherS (September 15, 2006, 03:00 AM)
brotherS, make it compatible with Nightly Tester Tools..-lanux128 (September 17, 2006, 09:51 PM)
I noticed using characters such as # ' = - is insanely easy. ~ @ +_ are with Shift, not too much trouble.The Surgeon General Warns
Prefixing special, important folder names with those gives you speedy access.
Of course there are hot keys to go to any folder anywhere, but this is more context sensitive, within a folder, or if you're in Explorer's Folders Pane and you have the whole tree open, you can jump between folders with these special characters. Expand everything in ROOT using * on the numpad:
ROOT\yad\da\yad\da\# wohoo
ROOT\yad\da\= boom, you're there
ROOT\bla\bla\bla\# wohoo part II
ROOT\stuff\stuff\stuff\stuff\= boom part II-tmpusr (October 08, 2006, 01:17 PM)
The reason: No clicking involved. No opening, no closing. Just viewing. Just like PhotoMesa.So you still would have to click...
Example: I've a folder Text. I go and just hover there selecting files as I go, perhaps with a left click, which closes the tooltip and adds to the selection, acting as if I had Ctrl pressed.-tmpusr (October 08, 2006, 12:23 PM)
http://www.gdsoftwar...e=4&showapp=GAFTMay I suggest that you visit http://www.autohotkey.com/ and http://www.autohotke...om/docs/Tutorial.htm ? It seems AHK (AutoHotkey) would be perfect for you too, you can do lots of (automated) file moving and copying with it! And you don't have to be a coder for it, it's simple if you are willing to spend a little bit of time.
The problem I have with this one is that it doesn't seem to have a recursive option. If you find it, please report. Very nice for automatically moving stuff around otherwise. A folder that cleans itself up can be done. Know any coding snacks or other software that deal with these auto move copy issues?-tmpusr (October 08, 2006, 10:20 AM)
and WinDirStatIn WinDirStat you can already 'zoom' into folders until you are on the file level. I don't see a need for a new program here. Also, this would be anything BUT a coding *snack*!
http://windirstat.info/
You see stuff in WinDirStat format, color coded, and normal file lists appear when you zoom near enough. Multiple zoomable windows.-tmpusr (October 08, 2006, 10:51 AM)
I use mIRC for IRC and Gaim for IM. How does Miranda compare to Gaim?If you don't use massive scripting for IRC, try Miranda IRC! About Gaim: I know many who switched to Miranda, since Miranda is simply the best when you want to customize your IM experience to the max!-tinjaw (October 07, 2006, 06:13 PM)
