Useful 3rd party tools to complement TC

[majkinetor !]

It turned out that Snarfer is shity software. I don't use it anymore after several months of waiting and posting bugs and suggestions on forum. It corupted my database so I can't use it now, it is very slow (don't know why) and full of bugs, and above all very limited.

Also, Snarfer is NOT portable without custom installation, since it keeps it's config in Registry. Even with registry script, proxy will always be a problem !

The speed of RSS Bandit is excellent, considering it is dotNet app, and features are top. It is actively developed by 4 people and I didn't yet find it's down side. It is full of features and not overkill... + XLST templates....

oh... 1 bad thing about Bandit:
it eats memory

but, that is what we know abuot dotNET.
Anyway, guys imoproved speed already, since I know that Bandit was previosly slow. Maybe someday memory will come ...

And Snarfer is portable u dont have to install it over and over again. All you need is to export ur feeds once and u can alway import them and run the prg

[majkinetor !]

sir silva, I think you don't understand what portability means: it is not just that program will run, without complaining, but it includes also all setting, except those that are computer specific.

That is the reason whyyou can't set proxy once and forever to be taken from the current system, so that it works on every computer.

Do you remember TaskArrange, Taskbar++, Visual Task Tips or Visual Tooltip?

Well, TaskbarEx could be for you then!

Drag&drop without waiting time, drag&drop also to the desktop and back, set always on top, turn on/off preview pics, scrolling mouse wheel to (de)activate task.

P.S.: KatMouse has to be deactivated to use scrolling, exluding doesn't seem to work. Please correct me

R you using the latest Version 0.3.0?

Yes.

Unstable ? what did you do ? wich os u use ?

The last thing i remember was adding several rss feeds. And now it just doesn't run anymore.

By the way, check Greatnews rss Reader in http://www.curiostudio.com/.

Very fast and east to use. Doesn't need installation either.

All users of Opera should check public beta.

Finally.
New Opera is kick-ass.

This TaskbarEx is realy cute. To bad that it doesn't remember settings.

Greatnews
I don't like here that you can't influence how rss is displayed. Contrary RSS Bandit can be customized exactly the way U want, and overall, it is much better and feels better. I just hate the fact that it is curently right bellow SQL Server in memory usage.... .. how bad... ..

[EDIT]
My mistake. It also has css's to format view.

TaskbarEx remembers settings here. TaskbarEx.ini in program folder, no user dependant settings though.

I'm searching for a text capturing tool for capturing text from different text boxes.. listbox etc.

I know it's discussed somewhere here... its free and simple, but cannot find it.

Does someone remembers it? (or knows the correct search frase)

TIA,

It doesn't remember position on screen. So if I drag & drop TC from taskbar to some other location this will be lost after TC is restarted. This makes drag & drop functionalilty hardly useful.

Just a little observation:

Process Explorer vs TaskInfo (latest versions)
Started at same time, doing same things in them...
