guinness's submissions (182)

Exactly waht I needed for copying multiple database fields for pasting onto a webpage. Thanks.

I use this to enable/disable my touch screen on Windows 8.

I'm a bit irritated by this, and a number of other recent programs, where the '64-bit' version downloads a zip file with 'x64' in the filename, however the executable contained within doesn't have 'x64' in the filename, but has the same name as the 32-bit version. Is the executable file within 32-bit, or 64-bit?

@AdrianK_IT
64-bit. Unless the developer screwed up when uploading the latest package :P
If you're unsure, then use Process Explorer and under View -> Columns make sure Image Type is checked. It will show you the bitness of an application.
Another alternative is GNUWin's file utility at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/file/5.03/
I'm not sure about portability though (Cygwin stuff...) and am currently not in the position to test.

@AdrianK_IT & dany: The easiest way is analysing the file with PeStudio (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1950).
And the "64-bit" version of BulletsPassView is 64-bit.

GifCam v5.5 ßeta 5-JAN-2018 is out (new version since v5.1 OCT2015)

GifCam v.55 changelog:
- Automatically detects and set transparent/greenscreen color
- Option for saving “setting.ini” in the same gifcam directory
- GifCam 5.5 can access/use 4GB address space on 64 bit computers
- Accurate pixel perfect recording area calculations
- Fixed “recording outside area” & “black border” for some high-res displays
- Supports dropping gif file on the main GifCam window to open it.

Updated to version 7.0 (2022-06-02, 2022, June, 2nd)
Changelog:
- Quantize Windows Color Reduction: Reduce to an optimal 256 color Windows palette. It’s slow encoding, but in some cases it gives better color-matching than quantize.
- Option for global CTRL+R shortcut key for rec/stop.
- Option for saving last position: If this option is not checked, the gifcam app will open in the center of the desktop.
- Auto-space between frames and delay labels regardless of system font size.
- Fixed Windows XP right click menu.
- Some other bug fixes.

Belatedly discovered a Gifcam quirk in the Win XP version...:-(
(XP buttons regrettably lack the side arrow ▼ included in Win7 version):

• Right-clicking "Rec" button opens a keyboard shortcuts list
• Right-clicking "Save" button opens an options + "about" list

Why all the fuss over RAR? The biggest problem is getting RAR to ZIP so it's compatible to more people in the world, not less. 1980 called, they want their compressor back.

The changelog posted is for ArcConvert v0.66, plus there now seems to be a 64 bits version linked at the bottom of the Sourceforge page ("Update for 64bit OS").

Note also that although WinRAR gives you a 30 day trial, as the meme goes, it will never end...

(e.g., http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3q6w51)

DavidRoper: even among very technical people, I can't seem to get anyone to use anything but ZIP. The dream of getting people to use one of a number of radically better compression formats has been going on for over a decade now and at this stage just seems like a lost cause.

Good simple program that can bulk shift time + or - for video files for example that has been taken in a different timezone without changing the camera time before the shots.

Anyone as have a code for config.ini to [Recent] to get rid of reading ??

Use this app all the time, very useful and lightweight. Recommended for any simple list management.

Very useful software, use it for a whole load of things.

Wow!
This Tool is perfect for Laptop Users!
Much better and a lot more options than NetSetMan!!

Nice application but it doesn't support dual screen or extended screen display. At work I work with TWO screens, at home only with my laptop screen. This is the most important feature for me and it is unavailable :-(

This program has a ton of possible uses: quickly viewing workstation settings, copying static network settings for operating system reinstallation, quick application of network drive mappings for application installations...thanks for this!

TotalCommander
press F7
write "folder1|folder2|folder3|folder4|folder5|folder6|folder7" .... etc
profit

Occasionally, i use a procedure that ends up time consuming anyway:
1. search for desired file search app (usually, regex in filelocator lite).
2. select filenames in results.
3. "export" those filenames to clipboard.
4. paste into batch file, with appropriate text find&replace

and manual edits to create batch commands.
5. run batch

@granny Are you sure FreeCommander can do this? I know it can create nested folders separated with a slash, but how can it create peer folders? FreeCommander XE supports | to separate folders like TotalCommander, but plain FreeCommander doesn't.
