Stick A Note v2.1.0 New

webfork on 1 May 2013

Stick A Note is an unique note-taking program in that it connects to an individual application window. Notes move with the window and disappear when window is not in focused or when the program hotkey is toggled (Win+N by default). Includes available color and hotkey customization, and all notes are saved to the application folder as text files.

Useful for keeping notes on individual applications such as usability or beta testing, or for keeping notes on infrequent/difficult programs to serve as reminders for use.

NOTE: Some software changes the window title with program behavior, which will make Stick A Note think it's working with a separate program. (For example, this happens whenever you type anything into the search box of "Everything") Stick A Note's associated note will no longer be visible (though still saved to disk) until the window returns to it's previous state.

Quite an interesting idea. Something you wouldn`t think would be useful, but actually is.

F.Y.I

Rainmeter v2.5 now requires MSVCP110 series of DLLs :(

The last version that does not require the 110 series:
http://rainmeter.googlecode.com/files/Rainmeter-2.5-r1720-beta.exe

You can then use the DLLs provided here, or the MediaFire links.

Thanks a lot @Magibon. The provided dependencies worked on Win7x64/Feb2013. As a note, I had to reinstall in portable mode and move skins and rainmeter.ini to the new instalation folder in order to make it work; copying dependencies to my original portable installation keept it failing. Thanks again.

FYI: updated link.. previously linked to v2.4.

@ All
All i needed additionally are:
1. msvcp110.dll
2. msvcr110.dll

im not sure if it's just my system.. but i recommend starting with those 2 and if more DLLs are required.. Rainmeter will alert you.

Updated post w/ new dependencies from my computer to ensure cleanliness.

Listary v4.01.1191 Updated

Checker on 6 Apr 2013

Listary is an enhancement that allows you to quickly search almost any listing in Windows by simply typing your search terms. The program will pop up a small, semi-transparent window in Explorer windows (including open/save dialogs), Task Manager, Registry Editor, and even directly on your desktop. The program works with almost any application with a system-generated list.

Although some programs will automatically jump to the first letter you type (a find-as-you-type feature of Windows Explorer), you must type quickly for more than one letter and cannot see your output. Listary brings a long-time feature of Linux to Windows, letting you enter whole words, and type slower with automatic changes. Additionally, it allows wildcards and has the ability to edit your input with immediate results.

Advanced features include hotkeys, autocomplete, blacklists, favorites, a customizable window. Note that the program contains many "pro"-only features, but the program is very functional in its basic version.

@juvera: don't count on it. A friend of mine thought himself immune because he was running win98 and didn't bother with anti-virus and firewalls. After a week his machine was thorougly trashed.

Got a reply from Listary support - they cant support windows 2000, since it seems their IDE (Visual Studio 2010) dropped support. Oh well, I'll get started with autoit.

@kiwichick: Do you still have ListaryPortable_2.0.392_English.paf.exe?

I'm looking for a copy of Listary version 2.
