QuotePad (CintaNotes copycat)QuotePad is a re-branding of Notesholder Lite. I think it came before CintaNotes, but the latter now seems to me the better program. It doesn't have reminders, but the reminders in Notesholder drove me round the bend.-Steven Avery (April 22, 2012, 01:57 PM)
CintaNotes looked very good in some ways, except that it was in between everything.You're wanting an altogether heavier-weight program. CintaNotes is like EverNote Light; small, fast, easy to use, fuss-free, portable if required, capable free version. Those are its strengths.-Steven Avery (April 22, 2012, 01:57 PM)
I have reverted to paperurlwolf, do you have a system? Now that I don't run a PC all day every day, I'm using paper more, and interested in better non-computer methods. At present, it's usually random scribblings on bits of paper, and needs improvement.-urlwolf (April 08, 2012, 03:14 AM)

Automate checks and tasks with the integrated scripting language
A simple yet powerful scripting language lets you automate specific tasks. For example to check bookmarks, create a report and send the report by email without having to execute all these commands manually step by step.
I am not into clipboard managers too much (I'm not sure what I am supposed to manage)Think: extender or enhancer. Programs of this type keep your earlier clips in a kind of database, so you can recall them at will. Permanent clips for boilerplate text. Extra features like reformatting text etc. For good examples, look at mouser's CHS or at ArsClip.-Steven Avery (April 14, 2012, 01:29 PM)
this looks like it might carry over more into form filling or phrase choosing.I wondered about that. Many clipboard extenders can fill in forms as long as you organise things first, i.e., you always paste into a standard form. I doubt this is a competitor for RoboForm, that can figure out what goes where in a form and fill it in for you, but just asked that question on Bits du Jour to find out for sure.-Steven Avery (April 14, 2012, 01:29 PM)
I am glad to be able to announce the final 3.0 version release of an exciting new IsoBuster. Excited because this new version, besides optical media (CD, DVD and BD) now also supports Flash drives, Media cards of all sorts and makes, Jaz, Zip, Floppy drives, Hard Drives etc. To top it of, there is now also brand new NTFS support !(announcement here)
To try and pour it in a list, here are the newly supported disks / drives:
* Thumb / Flash drives
* SD disks / drives
* Compact disks / drives
* MMC disks / drives
* SSD disks / drives
* Jaz disks / drives
* Zip disks / drives
* Floppy disks / drives
* HD disks / drives
* And more ...
And here's the newly supported File System:
* NTFS
On optical media (CD, DVD, BD) we are accustomed to the concept of Sessions and Tracks. On all these newly supported disks, logical volumes (file-systems) are put into Partitions, not Sessions. IsoBuster supports, just like you were used to with Sessions using IsoBuster:
* All Windows / DOS / Macintosh / HFS Partitions are immediately shown
* All the file-system(s) in those partitions are immediatly shown
* You can use all the features you normally would use on tracks and sessions, but now on partitions.
* You can do data recovery pretty much the exact same way as on optical
* Forensics investigators will love the easy overview of all partitions and all file systems
* See sector per sector content with Sector View
* Extract portions of the media
* Support for UDF, FAT, NTFS, HFS(+) on any partition
* Etc.
it is everything I've wanted in an organizer (minus a nice calendar system and easy, yet powerful web clipping like Surfulater-vegas (April 10, 2012, 05:46 AM)
[...] TC advantages:
- plugins - amongst hundreds of them content ones are used by me the most. They not only give nice column views [...]
- *.ext - It may be just me but I don't like to have full file names: name must be in separate column and name only. I like to group files by their types

I can't imagine working without my beloved ZTreeWin. If you're keyboard freak like me, I bet nothing can beat it regarding the speed and effectiveness of work.-yksyks (April 09, 2012, 12:29 PM)
As for WJJsoft's freeware calculator, wow what a find, how obscure is that one?! I hunted for ages to look for a Soulver type calc, and you may have found another one [...]Do you have the install exe per chance?-Twinbee (April 09, 2012, 09:09 AM)
And I'm pretty sure I heard about it here on DC myself Before OpalCalc, it turned out nothing on Windows like this existed.-Twinbee (April 07, 2012, 04:56 PM)
if the user is looking at the keyboard, much typing can be for nothing because Windows is waiting for the user to respond to the pop-up box.This is true, but it's less of a problem if the box pops up at the cursor, as it does with Typing Assistant, to name one I know a bit. It's also worth knowing that the Big Daddy of the genre, Instant Text, doesn't do that, it has its suggestions window attach under or beside your main application window.-Curt (April 08, 2012, 12:13 PM)
PerfectDisk is my favorite defragger by far and I've tried them all (and try out every new version their competitors release).-Innuendo (April 04, 2012, 03:29 PM)
Proxy & website authentication, allowing websites with passwords or behind firewalls to be reaped.

ArsClip 4.0.0 has a revamped popup menu. Me likes!The new menus aren't the only improvements, and Joe is working on it at a rapid pace. Look at the list of changes in the beta section...-Tuxman (April 03, 2012, 03:18 AM)
Step 1. Set a start page
On the first step of the wizard you should specify the start page. By default, http protocol is assumed; other protocols like https are required to be specified explicitly. The start page also sets the current site. For example if you specified http://www.tonec.com/support/index.html, the current site would be www.tonec.com with all supported protocols like ftp, https, http applied to this site name.
If a site requires authorization, you should also set login and password on this step. Some sites allow browsing/downloading only after authentication on a certain page. In this case you should press on "Advanced>>" button, check "Enter login and password manually" box, and specify the page to login to the site. Also if the site has a logout button, you should specify here the logout pages that the Grabber should not open. If you set the login page, the Grabber will open a browser window after the fourth step and let you login to the site manually before proceeding with exploring and downloading.

If you need to download all pictures, video or audio files from a website, or download a complete web site, you may select the appropriate template in Project template listbox. Project templates make it easy to start your projects quickly, because all required settings are made automatically.
