Re: Do you know an app that deletes files/folder on a list?

What about a simple batch file? Just insert DEL in front of each file path to delete it, if you can/wish to delete an entire folder and sub-folders you can use RD More info DEL - https://ss64.com/nt/del.html RD - https://ss64.com/nt/rd.html Also depending on your file manager you may be able to &quo...

Re: TextAdept - programmer's editor

@midas I know, crazy isn't it. Must have been a lot of work adding that amazing feature, all those extra hours of coding and testing. Hats off to the developer. :shock:

Re: How to pull text out of a PDF and have it wrap correctly

If I need to grab the text of the entire PDF or specific pages I use the cmd line program pdftotext from the xpdftools toolset ( https://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html ) but it preserves the layout of the text e.g. page in two columns of text -> text in two columns of text. Xpdf is an open source ...

Re: Need downloader

I've always enjoyed wackget https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=968 as you can simply paste a list from the clipboard (or load via a file) but it doesn't have a "pause between downloads". But you can still use w(ack)get (wackget is just a frontend for the wget). Wget is a cmd lin...

Re: Alt-Tab Terminator

It always showed text files for me, perhaps it depends on the editor you're working with. But it is hard finding an alt-tab replacement that suits your needs as I've tried many over the years. Good luck finding one that will work for you! :D

Re: Suggestion - allow users to "hide" some programs

@bitcoin if you want it bad enough it you should be able to do it using a proxy filter https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1228 (you need to enable SSL filtering which is tricky to do at the moment) or Proxydomo https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21996 (SSL fil...

Total disappointment. In May this year I tested v3.0 on 2 machines 1. Desktop | Win-7 HP 64-bit 2.

Re: FileReplicator

I'm not stopping you developing FileReplicator v2 :-) From the description it doesn't sound to complicated to replicate the program (see what I did there) and call mklink or junction to do the magic. (I don't have a need for such a program so I won't - from what I understand it is written in AutoHot...
