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.

It shouldn't be included in as a PDF editor.
All it is is a rich text editor that 'prints to PDF'.

I dropped Notepad++ in favor of this one. Notepad++ is rapidly turning into bloatware. Notepad2 does not need plugins for its features, and so it is faster and much more compact, while still full of useful features.

Someone mentioned AkelPad. Some of its plugins don't work too well, and the syntax highlighting of HTML files isn't nearly as good as that of Notepad2.

Midas on 2012-07-01 01:24

There's now a x64 build of Notepad2. But can someone please explain to me how to get the "Open shell links" feature, so strings like www.someurl.com or adress@server.net will launch when clicked in Notepad2?

domestique on 2013-10-25 00:27

I've tried them all over the years, including the modded version, but keep coming back to Flo's original. Small; fast; no distractions. Other notepad replacements often have too many options. The only thing I would add is a tabbed interface, but it's not a deal-breaker. Using the built-in Favourites and coupled with Flo's own metapath (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1701), it's almost perfect for the way I work.

quote @tc: You can stop the intro photo by editing photoscape.cfg, and turning intro.photoOn from on to off. You could also edit the url, to point to a local image

I installed on USB with 7zip.
In addition to tc's message: if you make photoscape.cfg read-only, it will keep it's settings in the cfg file.

I also deleted the plugins dir (unwanted toolbar in there), and renamed the file PSMsgHook.dll in the main folder to PSMsgHook.dllold.

A fairly basic processing tool, the very slick gallery creation tool is the real gem in this program. The only setback for this program is competition: many other tools on the site do batch conversion, renaming, and other functions better than MobaPhoto (among them Photoscape and FastStone Image Viewer). Still, the program has a great interface, is good for basic photography work, and very easy to use.

coolplayer is OK, but the first thing i notice is you cannot set the volume relative to everything else... its volume control sets the system vol. BAD.

bowser17, you can change that in the options :)

Tried CoolPlayer, but go back to XMPlayer as CoolPlayer does not support Unicode.

As I far as I can tell moonedit is the only portable/standalone collaborative editor you can find. Others I've found require runtimes (gtk,bonjour,java) to be installed.. so in short, this is the one.

smaragdus on 2014-09-05 02:17

Although MoonEdit was abandoned long time ago, it still works fine on Windows 8 and one of its funniest and nicest aspects is that it can be used as a messenger.

I wanted a file manger and saw this one. It seemed familiar but i had trouble finding a valid download link. When i found one i saw a screen shot and suddenly remembered why i hadn't already got it.
Sproaticus had the answer. It's really UGLY.
I'm going to download it and see if it really is as difficult to use though.

Technomancer on 2010-03-07 19:29

Wouldn't it be nice if, when trying to download some software, you could click on a download link and go straight to the correct download page.
I still haven't managed to download this software. Why?.
Because there's no download link. When you click on the website link it takes you to a website, (NANOCODESOFT), on which i can't find Ultramanger.
If i do a search on 'google' there are plenty of references to 'Ultramanager' but they all seem to take you to web sites that have nothing to do with 'Ultramanager' or don't work.
I managed to download a file which i thought was 'Ultramanager' but it turned out to be a single page file manager that didn't display any files.

OK, i've let some steam off now, BUT, i would recommend 'FreeCommander' over ANY of the others. It might not have media players or lights and bells, but it is excellent and easy to use and it works.

Sorry for my outburst(s) but at least i didn't swear.

You are right. However, both 1.2 & 1.3 versions of NotePad SX are incompatible with Windows 8 (the program's GUI doesn't display correctly).

smaragdus on 2016-10-21 22:35

Notepad SX (http://www.rf1.net/software/notepad) is freeware but it is no longer developed and does not work properly on modern OS (at least on Windows 8- even compatibility mode doesn't help).
Notepad SX Pro (http://www.rf1.net/software/notepad_pro) is commercial.

This program saved a few of my documents to plane text (document was saved at the end of the file.) Not sure if I am just using a password that's too long. Check it with Notepad++

fsekrit is a good program also but doesn't have tabbing

Finally, an MP3 Tagger that will autonumber Track numbers.
Many MP3 players sort by track number, and if you are doing sequential podcasts or other downloaded stuff, the track numbers are often non-existent, and they play out of order.
I have used a dozen or so other taggers and so far must change each tag one by one, and often each one requiring multiple mouseclicks or keystrokes.
