Well, i found the solution myself. Don't know if this option is new or not but its the first time i noticed. So, when dragging files into another window or tab in Q-dir, at the bottom it says "Start drop in new process"! (and recycle bin and email aswell) ha! and just drop it on this button.. nothing will freez! magic :) Thanks anyway folks.
Q-dir is great.

The Q-Dir 64 installer 6.47 is not installing, last time there was also a problem with the 64 installer. They should be checking first before releasing the installer.

starshakur on 2018-05-05 15:17

Can't recommend Q-Dir to anyone, freezes while copying, Q-Dir windows turns black, crashes. Windows 10 64-Bit, tried Q-Dir 32-Bit & 64-Bit, tried the PortableApps version, all of them buggy as hell. That*s probably the reason why the developer frequently updates it. 2 years back Mithril wrote about something that's still happening.

Time to start looking for an alternative, till then i'll use Windows Explorer.

When you click the download link, a page opens with the download, just un-check the "Use our download manager and get recommended downloads" box. You'll get the zip file that you want. My Avast keeps blocking the site/file so I just disabled. After download I checked using VirusTotal and comes up clean.

Note: starting with actual version 6.18 TagScanner requires the VC-/Universal Runtimes. I stumbled upon because this runtimes cannot be installed on my system. Version 6.17 however works fine.
For systems without this runtimes the workaround could be to copy the runtimes from LibreOffice or Firefox and place them in the root folder of TagScanner (x86 or x64 accordingly).

It's not mentioned but it requires admin rights to install a driver. Does it remove the driver on system reboot? I don't know, I couldn't find out very much information besides "there's no installation required". The developer proclaims "It's so simple to use, you don't need documentation." LOL. So much for that.

Last but not least GPU-Z and CPU-Z just share similar names, they are developed independently afaik.

WARNING: If you are having issues with unreal games in fullscreen there's a good chance it's WordWeb V10 causes Alt+tab, Win, and other methods of exiting fullscreen mode with unreal games to freakout. I moved back to v9 and Unreal games all work as they should once more.

under Option - Quick paste. There you can change to another theme which comes with the program.
However to create your own looks/theme, you can go to the folder Ditto\Themes\ You'll find some xml files. Each of them is 1 theme. In there you can change the value and select which colars. You'll need to play a bit around till it looks they way you want it to be. Give it a new xml name and then in the Ditto program select this one as Theme as described above.

smaragdus on 2017-02-05 17:32

@RainrooM
Thank you again for the detailed information you provided! Somehow I failed to notice "Theme" menu in "Quick Paste".
Do you know whether the old themes packed with Ditto version 3.21.50.0 are compatible with Ditto version 3.21.134.0?

WinNMP v21.10 New

  • 426MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 12 Oct 2021
  • Suggested by lwc

WinNMP (formerly WTServer and prior to that WT-NMP) is an open source free WNMP (a variation of WAMP). That is, a Windows package with Nginx, MariaDB/MongoDB and PHP-CGI (and also Redis) server stack for Windows.

Category:
Runs on:Win7 / Win8 / Win10
Writes settings to: Application folder
Dependencies: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: Yes
Path portability: Automatic relative path (eg. ..\..\personal\work.doc)
License: GPL
How to extract: The installer, which was created in Inno Setup, tries to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable without asking and even if you already have it.
However, it also executes some needed stuff (e.g. customizing the database).
So download the installer and install it to the default folder. Copy all files to a folder of your choice. Uninstall the application. Launch WinNMP.exe.

If you don't want it to install MVC, then:
  1. Run the installer within a sandbox like in Sandboxie Plus/Classic.
  2. Keep clicking Cancel when it tries installing MVC.
  3. Move the resulting files to a folder of your choice outside the sandbox.
  4. Delete the sandbox.
