It replaces the Windows Start Menu, though it lets you revert to that if you want to. It's a lot nicer and more powerful than the Windows default, but it's, well, what did I expect, a Start Menu. That means it points to the c:\Program Files\ and c:\Program Files (x86)\ subdirectory trees. Some of my programs are installed in their own directories off c:, e.g. something like "c:\Programs\NoteTab 7\", and Start Menu X is not as happy finding such as those. I also have quite a few programs "installed" as if they were portable in subdirectories beneath "c:\NoInst\", and it can't find those at all (unless there's a way to add them I haven't found yet). So, for a slightly different reason, I'm like you in needing more than one launcher.I've tested a few now and settled with "FolderChangesView"-highend01 (April 25, 2021, 12:31 AM)

I don't want to have to run a whole program just to grab a few files off my desktop and put them into a folder once in a while.Which is exactly what you will be doing. I don't understand why you're resistant to using a good general-purpose file manager, especially as there are plenty of good free ones.-Jasong222 (April 07, 2021, 04:22 PM)
Automatically organize files based on their propertiesSee their short video on that page. It's payware, and not dirt cheap either, though it's been on discount at Bits du Jour a few times. Also, I wonder if there's too much assembly required for ad hoc jobs.
Copywhiz for Windows lets you automatically copy files to an organized folder structure.
It can create the folder structure based on the file attributes such as file name, date, size, extension, type and also mp3 metadata (Album, Artist, Genre etc).
Thank you for telling me you're not interested in participating in this.Sarcasm and rudeness have no place on DonationCoder. This isn't social media or Usenet.-Jasong222 (April 07, 2021, 04:22 PM)
you should use this opportunity to blow away acdsee.As I read the OP, it isn't intended for that, but as a fast convenient helper for other programs. I really like the virtual folders by date, and it's commendably fast. Mouser's Media Browser has some useful features, but I find it odd that you access them from the thumbnail, rather than the larger image. Also it calls Windows File Explorer, which is never going to be my favourite file manager. It would be nice if it could pass the file name+path to whatever file manager (FM) you specified. Failing that, a very useful feature in Faststone Image Viewer is the ability to press [C] for [Copy an image], and have it pop up a dialog of target directories, see screenshot. That cuts out a lot of the need for an FM.-superboyac (March 05, 2021, 09:23 PM)
Acdsee is slow though. Everything is just kind of sluggish.Don't overlook that WinCatalog can catalogue image files and store thumbnails. It's pretty quick at indexing and very fast at displaying and browsing, though again it calls Windows File Manager for file management functions. The database can be quite large.-superboyac (March 05, 2021, 09:23 PM)
laptop has a couple of USB 3.0 slots and I do have a fast thumb drive that I've been using. Of course it sticks out of the side, daring me to break it off.Been there, made that mistake-kunkel321 (February 27, 2021, 08:13 PM)
Slots at the back of the laptop especially invite destruction. Two possible palliatives; a right-angle-bend USB adaptor, and/or an extension cable, both cheap on eBay.with the bump feature, a user would have to move their mouse over to the bump zone while with the clipbar a glance is all it takes to see what is in the clipboard currently.-saumu (February 25, 2021, 05:39 PM)
will let you easily copy multiple clips into a stack (queue), and then paste them back out individually (or as a block) in a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) orderwould help?
rjbull's suggestion would be a solution to the issue of the stay on top clipboard window being always visible but there is also a chance of accidentally showing the window when going about your business around the desktop.So there is, but it's usually minimised by making the "bump zone" small. See attached image, which is a narrow slice of my screen with the bump zone for PowerPro-saumu (February 22, 2021, 01:52 PM)
For a while now I've been considering making a small stay-on-top window that shows your most recent clips. Do you feel strongly this needs to be in the taskbar? What if it just floated somewhere on your screen, would that be good enough?Maybe you could optionally make it "hide" at a screen edge, with a narrow line to show where it is, and "bump" the line to show full size?-mouser (February 19, 2021, 05:01 AM)
Mort by Terry Pratchett. A nice (and not too big) hardback.enjoyed that to the end and went for the second in the series -- "Reaper Man". It's a bit all over the shop (almost halfway through). Definitely not as good as the first
about 70 pages in -- a very easy and entertaining read so far. My first book by Pratchett.-tomos (January 26, 2021, 04:47 PM)-tomos (February 18, 2021, 04:34 AM)
Convert handwritten notes to computer text
I write a monthly commentary for a small local newspaper and blog extensively. For years I have been looking for a way to convert my script into text that I can load into Word. My astute brother-in-law sent me a RocketbookEverlast Notebook ($30) and the closer I looked into it I realized that this may be the tool I have been looking for.
[...]
CSVFileView is a simple CSV file viewer / converter utility that allows you to easily view the content of CSV or tab-delimited file created by NirSoft utilities or by any other software, in a simple table viewer. You can sort the lines according to one of the fields, remove unwanted fields and change their order, and then save the result back into CSV file, tab-delimited file, XML file, or HTML report.
Known Limitations
CSVFileView cannot load extremely large csv files.
TableTextCompare is a small utility that allows you to easily compare 2 tab-delimited or comma-delimited (csv) files, and find out the difference between the 2 files. You can use this tool for comparing 2 different snapshots of data, created by other NirSoft utilities, like DriverView, ServiWin, USBDeview, CurrPorts, WirelessNetView, ShellExView, and many others...Looks like a "diff" for CSV files.
For example, You can use DriverView utility to save 2 snapshots of loaded drivers list into a tab-delimited file, and then use TableTextCompare to easily find out which device drivers were added, removed, or changed since the time that the first snapshot was taken.
TableTextCompare can make the comparison even if the records of the 2 files are not sorted in the same order, or if the fields are not positioned in the same order.

In response to the pandemic last year and as a way to lend some support to the creative community, we made a 90-day free trial available for the Mac and Windows versions of the whole Affinity suite, while also cutting the price of all of our apps, including iPad versions, by 50%.
When those offers ended, it appeared things were getting better and we all hoped that by now the situation would have continued to improve. Sadly, it’s clear that the pandemic continues to have a serious impact and so we’ve decided to bring back these offers once again.
Moreover, the free trials are available to everyone, including those who have previously completed one—so even if you used the free trial last year, you can do it again. There’s also 50% off content in the Affinity Store too.
