DropIt alternatives
While I fine working as a discussion point for developers software (we have a whole thread dedicated to Freeware Development ), one of our still active threads on the site is the DropIt thread where a lot of questions are going unanswered. The developer and a few site regulars that worked with the s...

Re: DragTargets
Old thread update: I can't seem to find this program anywhere. Assuming it still works in Win10, does anyone have a copy of this somewhere?

TextHarvest - parse content [discontinued]
Short version : possible old gem that I couldn't sort out. --- Something that came out of yesterday's Tucows exit was a very promising text parsing tool that I unfortunately could never get to work. Since batch text edit/analysis tools haven't changed much over the years, I was hoping this would sc...

Tucows put out to pasture
It doesn't come up much here on the site but Tucows has officially shut down. In my long history with freeware, it was never really my go-to but it did occasionally come in handy, even some recent old software mirrors. The official announcement does note that they got rid of ads for the last few yea...

Re: DokuWiki on a Stick
Old thread update: this project is still in development and the DocuWiki on a Stick component page has also seen additions. The program now requires Win7+ and Visual Studio: https://www.dokuwiki.org/install:dokuwiki_on_a_stick I also really like that they address steps to update the software. Caught...

Re: RoboIntern [DotNET Task Scheduler]
I suggest you try to run the batch via a persistent console and watch the results Yes, that's always a good first step. Well said. %COMSPEC% /K "LongAbsolutePath\CompressWithFileOpt.bat" If that doesn't work, I'd advise you to first try placing the batch and files to process in the same location (n...

Re: Pazera Free Audio Extractor
Audiobook-Opus profile = Opus encoder + bitrate 40 kbit/s + constrained VBR (CVBR) + highest encoding algorithm complexity + tune low bitrates for speech Thanks for the detail there -- I haven't messed with it for some time but once upon a time I had a voice compression effort going that I think yo...

Re: RoboIntern [DotNET Task Scheduler]
Update here: ImBatch does have a very good folder watch function built right into the program (or available via ImageMonitor.exe in the app folder), but it only appears to include image functions, you can't run a separate program (e.g. FileOptimizer compression)

Re: RoboIntern [DotNET Task Scheduler]
a tool that watches a given folder and then launches a program upon file creation. Maybe FolderChangesView ? Thank you for the suggestion and that actually SHOULD work but for some odd reason it's not functioning. https://i.imgur.com/9LNytMs.png The batch file window seems to launch but it doesn't ...

Re: Micro (CLI text editor)
I'm really liking this program -- just like the excellent broot search tool, it's very easy interaction with the standard Windows interface makes it almost not even a CLI program. It's similarity with nano and other standard text editors is great and you can do just about everything with the mouse a...

Re: [Resolved] Finding duplicate phrases
Even though this thread has already been resolved, I'm still interested in tools that might go further. NOTE: This is Shareware, not freeware , but I'm a big fan of the developer and he does list a portable version. --- I went looking to see if this program could identify duplicate text and it does ...

Re: RoboIntern [DotNET Task Scheduler]
@ webfork : Although I don't use them myself, I wonder if you wouldn't get what you seek with one of NirSoft's many apps... :thinking: That's usually a good call, but I'm not seeing anything for a tool that watches a given folder and then launches a program upon file creation. I'll keep digging. An...
