Re: Ideas for my next freeware project
@JnLlnd CSV Buddy is a nice piece of work, and I must admit to not having spotted the XML export feature which could come in useful. But I need to get JSON or XML data into CSV in the first place. This shouldn't be particularly difficult, but it does get a bit messy if the JSON/XML data has any sort...

Re: Ideas for my next freeware project
@tproli thanks for that link, but it only converts from CSV to JSON etc, but not from JSON etc to CSV. At the moment I am more interested in getting things into CSV which can be a bit messy. I could write this myself, but if I did it would almost certainly be written in Java as a command line utilit...

Re: Ideas for my next freeware project
My suggestion would be a program that can convert between CSV, JSON and XML. They are all intended to make it easier for the output from one program to be readable by another, but I keep finding that what one program outputs is one that the next program I want to use cannot read.

Re: What will make you actually pay for a software?
If I am to pay for software, it must be a one-off payment that preferably gets me a bit more functionality for my money than the free version, there must be no alternative that also does what I want cheaper and it must be software that I really need. I usually avoid time-limited shareware or trial s...

Re: Collection of Online Web Apps
Your definition makes sense. With that definition you can forget all of my suggestions except ixquick - they need browser plugins or code to be downloaded. Ixquick is an anonymizing meta search engine. The same organization also produces StartPage which anonymizes Google searches. I can also suggest...

Re: Alternatives to Google search
Ixquick is my favourite search. It seems to be a meta search version of StartPage.

Re: Clipjump : Multiple Clipboards Manager
I've just downloaded clipjump from its homepage download link and got version 8.4. The dropbox download resolved to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/116215806/Products/Clipjump/Clipjump.7z which is the same location that Midas reported. Could you be downloading to one directory and extracting cli...

Re: Suggestion: Switch XMPlay listing to XMPlay Portable
So far as I am concerned you might as well go ahead and switch it. Despite what I said earlier I have done a bit more investigating and discovered that it stores absolute paths to tracks in its library. Naively using Notepad++ to replace the absolute paths in the library with relative ones results i...

Re: Suggestion: Switch XMPlay listing to XMPlay Portable
I've just done a very quick check on the latest version of XMPlay (3.7). I extracted it to E:\rjs\downloads\XMPlayer\xmplay37 I ran it once to generate a .ini file which was written to that directory I then edited the .ini file to change the following line: WritePath=E:\rjs\downloads\XMPlayer\xmplay...

Re: Suggestion: Switch XMPlay listing to XMPlay Portable
I would leave the main entry as XMPlay - the PA format is a variant that is more? portable. If other portabilised variants come along, perhaps X-XMPlay, they can be included under the same main entry without needing to create a new page. This would potentially save work in the long run as well as av...

Re: Free and cool Android apps
My suggestions are:
EssentialPIM - This is an Android version of the Windows platforms personal information manager with which it can sync data
X-Plore File manager - This is a dual-pane file explorer that can also access network shares.

Re: AutoCompress not as portable as before
The screenshot on the AutoCompress entry here shows Compress age 28, Uncompress age 14. That looks a bit more sensible. What I'm not clear about is which file date it uses to determine age - Creation date, Modification date or Last Access date, and whether it preserves them through compression/uncom...
