Post New Requests Here / Re: DONE: Barnacle - Add toolbars to your favorite programs

« Last post by tomos on March 18, 2008, 08:44 AM »

Barnacle doesn't work here.

Instead of running it displays the message :

"Could not extract script from EXE"

My OS is Win XP SP2

Can someone help me?

-Calep (March 18, 2008, 08:25 AM)

I havent tried it but you could "install" AutoHotKey (it's portable) and
save the AHK script (click the green "H") instead of the EXE
https://www.donation.../index.html#Barnacle

then open the AHK file.

I use Filehamster for my project asset management needs, but you can definetely use it for your downloads. It brings a pop up for entering text. It has a report plugin as well.

presumably that means you make a backup of the downloads as well ?

ToDoList2 is massively powerful. Slightly brutal appearance, but very efficient to use and you can choose how much or how little to have on screen. A really great program. Really responsive developer. And free.

-Dormouse (March 15, 2008, 05:56 PM)

would you have a link for that - couldnt find homepage myself - or do you mean the ToDoList kartal links to?

Best Dialog Extender / Re: Revisiting (XfilesDialog, File-Ex, Direct Folders)

« Last post by tomos on March 15, 2008, 05:12 PM »

CFDButton is nice, but it's lacking several features.

-superboyac (March 14, 2008, 04:13 PM)

ChalkTrauma did say that he'd be willing to add suggestions, maybe you should enumerate them?

Maybe it might even fill this gap:

or inspire someone (here?) to programme something (even) better ?

Maybe we should launch a major offensive and start an e-mail campaign to pressure Stardock to release this as a standalone application.

Best Dialog Extender / Re: Revisiting (XfilesDialog, File-Ex, Direct Folders)

« Last post by tomos on March 14, 2008, 04:30 PM »

If you're interested in spending $40, you could try Stardock's Enhanced File Dialog.

-Darwin (March 13, 2008, 04:08 PM)

I'd love something like that - but would pay maybe $20 only ( )
- quoting you from another thread -

Ummm..., er...., ah... Enhanced File Dialog "Enhance(s) your common file dialogs with additional features
...
What I like best about it is that it resizes my dialogs and makes the places bar much more useful - something that none of the other dialog extenders that I have tried do. It gives you the same flexibility that the Office 2003 (and XP?) places bar provides and enables it in all dialog boxes
...
Here's a screenshot of my Notepad "save as" dialog:

-Darwin (December 03, 2006, 02:05 PM)

there's something about having the list on the left in view there, I'd definitely pay $20 - $40 is too much still ...

-superboyac (March 10, 2008, 01:24 PM)

there's so many possibilities in terms of settings/fields/columns I think it will have to be very sophisticated - or maybe it could simply favour the settings of one database over the other...
