I think the best snapshot/diff tool ATM in the freeware area is SystemExplorer.

There's a tiny program that does that - clicker.exe (freeware, 36 KB) by Anonymous Software but I cannot find the download link  . (I attach a copy of the program but if it's not OK then, moderator, please remove it)



Also, there's Dwell Clicker but I have not tried this one.

Porta - a photo album generator.

Porta turns an image directory into a neatly formatted web photo album. Its primary virtues are:

• It's fast,
  
• it's simple to use,
  
• it's lightweight,
  
• and it produces clean and uncluttered web pages that
  
• will load fast and look good in all modern browsers.

Example album using HTML
Example album using SimpleViewer

General Software Discussion / Re: MSD Organizer (free version)

« Last post by PhilB66 on May 24, 2008, 04:21 AM »

Holy cow... yuck, what an ugly UI.





Also, be warned, the freeware version is cripleware. Features like password protection of the database and data encryption are not available. And when it is first run, MSD will ask you if you want to enable trial features (box is auto ticked). Untick if not interested.





Having said that, tons of nice features and you can run it as a portable application. Nice find.

« Last post by PhilB66 on May 22, 2008, 09:26 PM »

Just edited my first post. See comment at the end.

BTW, The default DoubleClickSpeed is 500 (in miliseconds). You may want to ajust the value, but remember to backup the registry first (lower values mean faster speeds).

TweakUI maybe?



BTW 1, the mouse settings are @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse

BTW 2, this may not be a speed issue, but a limitation in the area in which the second click is performed. Try to change the DoubleClickHeight and DoubleClickWidth values (4 is the default).

Yes, I realized that. I posted a message about it being a spam. I got the impression you wanted to keep such threads alive and tag them appropriately to warn others. Anyways, I think it would have been better if I was notified about the deletion.
