Useful 3rd party tools to complement TC

[B@rndH]

I noticed something even more weird. Images (*.jpg *.gif *.png) mini-thumbnails are not displaying but if I create a shortcut of one image with CTRL+SHIFT+F5 (.lnk) the shortcut is displayed as mini-thumbnail in TC (could B@rndH confirm ?)

Yes, I confirm that behaviour! It's truly weird!

Maybe a bit irrelevant nowadays, but I like to add a tool, once recommended to me by the Author, which can combine splitted files with a proper CRC check as well. To be found here

OK, I firstly thought that it was a plugin (search) for TC and I now understand that it was a plugin for CLCL.

It works fine, I even edit the dll with Resource Hacker as suggested (very clever, I didn't know it was possible to do that...). You are really my "mentor"

PS I don't know if I will use that for my daily work but perhaps I will get accustomed to it.
EDIT: I definitively get addicted to CLCL it's even one of my favourite tool it just save a lot of typing!

Thanks

Thanks. This is a really useful app. There are tons of apps with similar features, but they all seem to big'n'bloated. This is tiny, as CoMiKe says.

One tool I would not miss anymore:

The Ultra TC Editors:

Ultra TC Main Menu Editor: to Create/ modify/ customize the TC Main Menu. The inbuilt search function in adition to the displayed descripton make it easy to find a certain command - even if you don't know if it already exists.

Ultra TC Hotkeys Editor: to manage the TC-Shortcuts ( my favorite ) You can sort the command list (of all available commands) by names, description, code number, actual hotkey or default hotkeys. The inbuilt search function lets you find again certain commands.

Ultra TC Start and Directory Menu Editor: To edit both the Startmenu and the Directory Hotlist in a decent way.

Ultra TC Configuratin Editor: To manipulate the whole bunch of TC-Settings in the wincmd.ini file. You can create custom 'data'-files for quick access of the most needed settings. Additional you get an explanation for each setting, you can search for special settings by name, description or codenumber. Restart feature will immedately let take your changes effect.

Ultra TC History Editor: will let you edit/ remove or import any of TCs history settings as last searches, command lines, selections (*.jpg) etc.


And, for easy access you, get a

quick launch bar.


Although this tool is mentioned already many times in this forum (as in each post of me ) I missed it in this thread.

Just an update! One of the best text editors out there is becoming Unicode!

You'll find the beta version of the PSPad text editor here:

Unpack the cab over your already installed directory to upgrade.

... looking for something like that, but both mentioned don't create *.BAK files.
BTW: shouldn't use registry ...

You can't have it all – sometimes.

Yeah icfu, you're right!
But I like to quote Jimmy Cliff: You can get it if you really want ...

Prolix writes *.BAK and uses local INI file - but unfortunately it's horribly slow on my machine.

... so I must try, try and try, try and try ...

I am also still looking for a good Notepad replacement but they all seem to have the same issue for me. No Hebrew/Arabic support. For the program I work on (phpgedview), I have to be able to handle these Unicode files. It works in Notepad but Notepad adds a BOM.

Greenpad has some support but it doesn't work well with Hebrew

The programs I tried and do not handle it are:
Prolix
Crimson Editor (which I use for programming)
Pspad
Greenpad
and a few other ones which I can't remember.

Yeah just like Greenpad but with Unicode support would be nice
