Gwennel Doc v0.15

billon on 29 May 2018
  • 359KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 23 Dec 2013
  • Suggested by Cornflower

Gwennel is a lightweight word processor that takes an innovative approach to formatting options by separating them into a tree-like structure. This is useful for handling long documents with clear, organized formatting tools or for users who wish to focus on the text first and formatting second. Any style changes (such as headings, lists, or colors) are propagated throughout the entire document and, although only able to open and save OpenDocument (.odt) files, this makes the program a capable WYSIWYG editor. Additionally, users can open existing files and make rapid changes to the entire document.

  • The executable is no longer packed with UPX because of all those crappy antivirus.

It is not at all intuitive, but once you play with it a bit, It comes together.
I probably won't use it on my own computers where Open Office Portable is much handier, but as I like to keep my usb key light, I keep it there. Hint: go over your Open Office documents and see what styles you like to use, and update the openoffice-style.gwen template. I found this makes it more user friendly, as I am dealing with my own tastes.

I've tested it. I does support Unicode.

I don't know whether it is solid, but it is not portable, I extracted the x64 bit installer ('solid_renamer-120-x64.exe', version 1.2.0.5) and it stored its settings in C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Bitdreamers\Solid Renamer. I cut the config folder and put it in program's folder but the next time I ran it, this renamer re-created its config folder in AppData. The previous version (1.1.1) may not be that solid but at least is portable.

I was not able to download through the application website or download website given in the entry.

I was able to download from softpedia a version 1.92

Fhutt on 2014-06-01 00:19

I have used SyncExp for years now and find it impossible to do without.
I do have a problem though. I would like either to turn off the automatic log file updating or somehow redirect the log file to another folder instead of the syncexp.exe folder.
Can anyone help?

Download link not working and appears to be dead for some time.

I added the commands famulus and "famulus ini" to manually add/edit commands and settings (and use the mouse less). This is a great find. Thanks, dmg.

@loner - How many times do we have to tell you, don't flood the comments section with irrelevant comments. Use the Forum please.

For those interested, I continue to use Famulus on Windows 10, both Home and Corporate editions.

Version 2.4.1.416 was released today. The version stays 2.4.1, but the build is 416, versus 404, which was the previous build.

olliebean on 2013-10-26 17:51

The current version of this (v2.4.2.431) isn't stealth; it leaves a bunch of registry keys (albeit all empty) at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\First Objective Software\foxe.

@olliebean
Firstobject XML Editor is stealth. Did you select "Executable Folder" for settings location (under preferences)?

Links fixed - thanks Checker

freakazoid on 2013-09-08 07:31

Thanks to Ralph for his tidbit in comment #6 about fixing issues where the joined FLV would crash the video between the joined portions by re-transcoding the entire joined FLV. (I used Video to Video instead of XMedia Recode.)

It certainly got a lot of press as an impressive tool but I was unable to test it.

There's a "laptop mode" on this one that doesn't use the numpad but it still refuses to use anything except the F10 through F12 keys and those are currently mapped to something else.

I edited this but found out it is definitely shareware to late (there was some question in the forums)

Hopefully with the freeware installer version it is possible to run portable.

freakazoid on 2011-02-07 00:49

Yikes! 100MB for real?

Heck on 2011-02-07 14:04

Hi!

I run the shareware version on my usb g3 stick - and it runs great. the 100mb are not the problem today...
There is also a special price offer at the moment - you can get it for 9.95 EUR instead of 19.95 EUR. For all that were interested in ordering a license...

Cheers, Heck
