<< < (9/43) > >>

x16wda:
maybe I'm nitpicking, but if anyones adding to the list can they please add something more than just a name + link. 

In a lot of cases the name is a clue as to what the program does, but I'm probably not alone in being wary of clicking on an unqualified link to find out whats on the end of it

Not suggesting for a minute that anyone here would consciously do anything risky, but still...

Agreed, even a hint on what the program does would be nice. Image viewer, Programming tool, Macro/automation - something for a category.
