Written in Autohotkey, 7plus is a project which tries to make working with Windows much more comfortable by adding features to explorer, window handling, and lots of other small tweaks. For example it allows you to quickly upload files to an FTP server directly from explorer with a single hotkey, navigate to your favorite folders with numpad keys, keep windows always on top, etc...

Features

Explorer

Windows 7/Vista specific

Window Handling, Taskbar

Windows 7/Vista specific

Misc

Found out about this on Caschy's blog.

I'm very impressed!

I'm having serious issues with 7plus regarding the portability.
Version 2.2.0 refuses to save the settings in the app's folder! Both x86 and x64 versions. It's frustrating!
Anyone care to check on this? The settings are saved (for me) in AppData/7plus.
I'm on win7x64, admin, no UAC.

Edit: I found the culprit!

2.1.0 introduces the possibility to run 7plus in portable mode (command line: "-portable")

We'll have to update our "How to" instructions!

I don't have such directory in %APPDATA%. I use 32-bit Windows XP on a limited user account...

...and I launch 7plus with the -portable parameter (mentioned here).

However, -portable causes 7plus to show this warning every time I launch it (even when I do have admin rights):

The settings are actually saved, though.

Edit: Joby was faster than me.

Same error message!
Still frustrated!

I tried this program a few weeks ago; it's meant to be used on Windows 7, so things like explorer tabs will not work on XP.

Also the program eats a terrible amount of RAM, but it does a lot of stuff.

This is now fixed for the next version!

FWG just did a very clear writeup on 7plus:

7plus 2.4.0 has a major bug in portable mode: http://code.google.com/p/7plus/issues/detail?id=342

At least for me this is totally unacceptable, so I have reverted the entry to version 2.3.0. SnapFiles is still hosting 7plus 2.3.0 (well, to be exact, they simply link to the files in Google Code). I also have local copies of the archives (both 32-bit and 64-bit) in case SnapFiles updates the links.

That's quite an important issue they should fix soon. Strange how updating the code could create such a huge bug such as this.

It actually took just two days: http://code.google.com/p/7plus/issues/detail?id=342#c3

Indeed that was very quick, let's hope they release a stable version soon.
