General Software Discussion / looking for a [i]single[/i] pane file manager
« Last post by Target on August 23, 2011, 09:14 PM »
I normally use TotalCommander, but my (W7) netbook doesn't really have the available screenspace to use it comfortably, so I'm looking for a single pane FM to use instead

I have been using Explorer++ which I rather like, but I've found it to be pretty unstable (It routinely crashes if I try to move too quickly, or if I try and customise the toolbars, or or or).  I haven't had the opportunity to take this up with the developer, but a new version has recently been released that may resolve some of this.

Pending the outcome of either of those activities I'm looking for suggestions on possible alternatives (worth noting I have a longstanding dislike of windows explorer :-[). 

I do have some specific requirements, ie it must be tabbed, and it must have a customisable toolbar so that I can add common apps/tools (I tend to use my FM as something of a dashboard)

I'm guessing this is possibly a fairly narrow field as it's the opposite of the consensus with respect to 'modern' file managers, but I'd be interested to see whats out there and what your experiences/opinions (if any) are

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Allow commenting of files in directory listing
« Last post by Target on August 22, 2011, 11:44 PM »
I was hoping to avoid using another file manager, innocently hoped that someone would be able to figure out a registry solution.
-aurelius (August 22, 2011, 10:58 PM)

This type of functionality is MUCH more than a simple registry change.  You may have some success with TaggedFrog.  It appears to work on Windows 7 x64 and integrates, somewhat, with Windows Explorer.

What I would REALLY like is to patent a process for expelling waste fluids and solids from the human body.

My opening statement for my first patent suit would be, "Why aren't your eyes yellow? And why do you find it easy to sit?" :P

at the risk of being on topic, have you considered adding some sound deadening to the case as well?

I'd try sitting the case on something (a piece of high density foam or polystyrene sheet, or even corrugated cardboard) and probably lining the sides as well (they make great drums!!)

So this is something like Win7's "libraries" as a separate software or what?
-Tuxman (August 08, 2011, 04:45 PM)

I don't think so...

YMMV, but for my money it appears to be something more like a cataloguing tool

Files are tagged (multiple tags can be used for any one file), and can be added to multiple groupings.

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Unstack Skwire's ClipTrap Output
« Last post by Target on August 04, 2011, 01:54 AM »
how is the conversion done? (depending on the answer it may be possible to process directly from the cliptrap file)

do they have to be Excel formatted?  CSV is a plain text alternative that is 'native' to Excel (and pretty much any other spreadsheeting app).

you might also consider processing the cliptrap file directly from Excel using a (VBA) macro

another alternative might be to use something other than cliptrap (I'm thinking of something that sends a copy of the current clipboard to a file)

General Software Discussion / Re: 'new' file manager - Elyse
« Last post by Target on August 03, 2011, 10:29 PM »
personally I haven't used it beyond a cursory inspection, so I can't comment on the functionality or capabilities with any authority.  I rather liked the concept though, so I'll have a bit more of a game with it at some stage (HA!)

FWIW though I don't see it replacing a regular file manager, maybe complimenting it in some circumstances, but YMMV

Lots of files on your PC have the exact same name. They can't go in the same location without overwriting each other.
-Deozaan (August 03, 2011, 09:50 PM)

from what I can see, it doesn't actually move any of your files, but tracks their location in a database, so a single file could be tagged multiple ways without affecting the actual filename or location

Looks interesting. Any word on license terms and price?
-40hz (August 03, 2011, 09:55 PM)

As far as I can tell it's freeware - the app can be unpacked (using UniExtract) and runs fine as portable, and you can view the licence through the help menu

General Software Discussion / 'new' file manager - Elyse
« Last post by Target on August 03, 2011, 09:12 PM »
apologies if this is not news to you

spotted this one a few weeks ago on addictive tips (it's since popped up in a few other places) and thought it may be of interest to some here (if a calendar based app (Nemo) can get some traction, who knows...)

Elyse is a tag based file manager.  Seems like it would be particular interest to those working with significant media collections, or possibly for project workers

From the homepage

Elyse is a file management system which solves the major problem with traditional methods of managing large numbers files on computers: paths and folders. Storing files in Elyse eliminates the need to decide precisely where to store a file, or to subsequently find where it was stored. Any logical method of grouping and arranging files can be used. In short, you the user are given the power to impose your own logic, and change your mind as often you like with just a few clicks.

Great to hear.  As for official link, it must be a caching issue on your side since I'm certain the correct file is there.  Does your work/ISP run some sort of transparent proxy?  Do you see the same issue with different browsers?
-skwire (August 03, 2011, 07:28 PM)

we're behind a proxy which I suspect is the issue - same results from IE and FireFox

I'd assume this as well since build 10 is on the server.  In the meantime, try grabbing this (same zip, diff name):
Apologies for the trouble.   :-[
-skwire (August 03, 2011, 08:35 AM)

no apologies necessary, just another of the marvels of modern technology ;)

That did the trick, and FWIW I'm still getting build 9 off the official link

many thanks for your time and attention :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

And you're, for sure, running v1.0.6 build 10?
-skwire (August 02, 2011, 10:59 PM)

interestingly it appears to be build 9, though I have downloaded and overwritten with the latest versions a few times in the last week (including once this morning)

and just confirmed that the copy I downloaded and installed this morning was build 9 so there could be some sort of caching issue at work here...

Hmmm...seems to be okay here.  With Trout running, I'm able to press F1 in other applications and launch, say, their help file.  Do you happen to have an F1 hotkey defined under Trout's options?
-skwire (August 02, 2011, 10:40 PM)

nope, no hotkeys, and confirmed that with Trout running all F1 key presses are waylaid
