Are good to installa the windows operating system ?You can get for 100 dollars a 1 TB SSD in ebay , aliexpress, .....-Contro (February 04, 2019, 07:20 AM)
Only really good for WORM-like (Write Once, Read Many - or more accurately, Write Minimally, Read Many) application I've found, eg. Steam Games library, data that doesn't get modified much, etc
I have a few of these types of SSD, (Netac, Ramsta, etc), ranging from 360GB->720GB, (a mix of 2D and 3D Flash technology - supposedly), and they are all DRAM-less designs, real world performance is variable.
Read performance can be anywhere between 290-520MB/s, write performance varies all over the place depending on what you're writing, (small/large files), but I've found it about on par with a good HDD for sustained writes, (sometimes worse).
Main use I have for them is:
Games library
Reasonably robust portable storage, (stick them in a case)
Ephemeral data, (I don't care if it disappears)
Certainly wouldn't trust anything non-replaceable, not backed up, or use them anywhere performance was a requirement.
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSDs can be had for under AU$200 and prices may drop further given the recent emergence of QLC NAND technology, (which oddly enough, has similar characteristics - limited write performance, maximum read performance compared to something like the 860 EVO).-4wd (February 04, 2019, 05:13 PM)
Don't know if they ship internationally, but ServerSupply.com has great prices on (new/used) drives of all kinds.I will take a look.
They currently have a 12TB SATA-6gbps 3.5" 7200rpm drive new for $395 (USD) - Sorry can't link to it the wat their site is designed, but it's really easy to find.
I'm not a fan of refurb drives either, but I have had occasion to use one or two from SS in a pinch because nobody else had any flavor of X in stock.-Stoic Joker (February 01, 2019, 07:25 AM)
Version 1.1 is out now!
See my post here for details!
The best change is that now you can set a Global Hotkey for absolutely ANY TextWorx Command!
You can also customize the hotkeys for the TexWorx Menu and the TextWorx Toolbar!
When you assign hotkeys to TextWorx commands, though, be sure and think about how TextWorx uses shift and control as modifier keys for the commands - and TextWorx will honour those even if you use them for the hotkey - so there may some conflict.
You might want to use win alone for your hotkeys, and save ctrl and shift for it's command usage.
What I mean is this: Say you use 201 "encase" for a hotkey. If you use the shift key in your hotkey, it will only ever remove quotes because shift changes the command to reverse.
So, for commands that work on both lines and in reverse, you are best not to use control or shift in the hotkey. Also, beware of using alt in your hotkeys, because alt often times invokes a windows own menu. For commands that do not use the shift or control modifiers, you can freely use those modifiers in your command hotkeys.
Using hotkeys for commands is a little experimental right now, so it might not always work as expected yet. Consider it a beta feature for now.-BGM (January 20, 2019, 10:21 PM)
Yes, I have been thinking of that, too, - hotkeys for the commands but I have to figure out how to do it first. It would be pretty nifty. However, my first goal will be to allow the user to change the global hotkey for the menu. Problem with hotkeys for the commands is that they would *all* be global. OR, maybe there could be some way to lock them to the active window so they are not global. This will require some thought.Of course I use AHK. Any user in DC does
TextWorx is about the same for you as PSPad if you add the command to the top of the main menu. Select Text - open menu, select command.
But for you, Contro, do you use autohotkey? If you like that RunText function, I can make you a little script that will let it work for you that way; it would be pretty easy.-BGM (January 17, 2019, 08:09 AM)
. I'm glad you like TextWorx - it's one of my long-time programs, and I happily use it myself.Running to try protocaller.
In the Tools & Options menu, there is a command to simply RUN the selected text.
Also, if you look in the help file under Tools, you'll see a way to add your own programs into the menu.
Just select the text and choose RUN Text from the Tools Menu, it could be anything (but it doesn't do multiple lines - I think I'll add that too).
notepad "c:\test.txt"
calc
For selective chains, I've been thinking about that. As things are, you would have to use the Select Line command, then the RUN text command.
Unless you use notepad3, which has selective chains built in already (meaning, if you push ctrl+c with no text selection in notepad3, notepad3 copies the entire line).
However, TextWorx does this for the Duplicate function. If you use the Duplicate command with no text selection, TextWorx will grab the entire line (internally using Select Line on it's own).
I've been thinking about making TextWorx do this for everything, not only Duplicate. I'll add this to my list.
However, if you want to create hyperlinks to open stuff for you, check out my other program called Protocaller. Besides html pages, there are some programs that will let you use system url protocols (there are some that limit you to just http).-BGM (January 16, 2019, 03:25 PM)
You might be able to use Ath's WinButtons program.The first of july 2012 i download this wonderful program and I write a comment not to be reproduced here because I was searching for other similar application.
