Utility information

[boxig]

Hi all

Just fixed a bug in "Thumbi" and uploaded a new file to my site. It is a free program and can be of use to members. Here is the "readme":

Browse and choose folder. All JPG, BMP and wmf files in the folder will be uploaded to a list which you can see in the drop menu box. If you "Save List" it will be saved automatically to a file called "PhotoNames.txt" located in the program folder. This is the main list from where images are displayed. It is recommended to use the "Save New" which allow you to save as many lists as you like under any names. You can upload any list you want. You can copy selected image full path to clipboard if the slideshow is not running (click "Pause" before copy path). You can open any selected image file in your default graphic program associated to file extension. In order to display images of any list, you have to "Save List" after you "Upload List" or "Browse" for a new list. This will copy your chosen list to the main list

("PhotoNames.txt"). You can "Start" a slideshow of all images in the list, "Pause" and "Continue". When you Browse for new folder files will be displayed in the drop menu but images will be displayed from the main list. Click "Save List" to display images from new folder.

Important: Use "Clear" if you want completely new List otherwise filed will be added to current List. (I hope you understood, even me I'm not sure I got it. But if you get the point, it can be very useful).

The program has its help file.

Also I uploaded a new utility "Intaller Board" It has two versions with help file and samples. You will have to do the graphic by yourself.

Other new utilities are "TxtViewer" , "PhotoAlbumSlide" and ..."DicMaker". Since the last one is not clear, here is the "readme":

This program was originally written for making an alphabetic records

keeping, to use for making a dictionary, but since I realized it can

be used for other uses too, from which some can be of use to PTE

members, I will explain all functions. I included 26 text files, each

for one of the alphabetic letters, where you can write your data

belonging to the specific letter. For example, you can make photos data

collections, presentations data collections, technical dictionary, medical

dictionary, language dictionary, customers archives, articles dictionary etc.

For example, you can use instead of the 26 text files, other files with

customers names, book names, date names, spare parts names, flowers

names etc. You can use this program for work or for hobby. Here is what

I'm using it for:

Help - keeping important help for my computer arranged by alphabet order.

Friends - Each friend have a file with all data about him.

Trips - Files by places names and each keeps the info about the place.

CD collection - All my CDs with full description what's inside each.

Language - The original idea of this program.

Home expenses - Each topic have a file.

and (of course) photos and presentations collections.

The program has three windows, left window for writing, right window

for choosing files, and lower window for displaying files text content.

The left window is for you to write and save the text in two ways. You

can save your text temporarily by using 5 sets of 2 buttons on left

side of the window for future use while working (memory will be erase

when program is closed). Use the right icon to save the text and left

icon to call your text back. You can use 5 different texts. You can use

right-click options (Copy, cut, paste, select all) on this window.

The second use of this window is to write or paste any text inside and

save it to a new text file by using the "Save File" button, located

below the left window. Before saving your file you have to write the

name of the file instead the line: "ChooseName". When you write your

file name, write only the name without extension or its path.

Do Not use spaces in your file name.

If you use spaces the file will be created but if you want later to use

the "Cut" button to delete the file, it will not be deleted. The file

will be saved in "C:\DicMaker\YourFile.txt". In this example you wrote

"YourFile" only.

After saving your file the list of files on right window will not be

automatically updated and you will see your new file name only next

time you open the program.

When you open the program the lower window will display any text

currently on clipboard. Any text you copy to clipboard while working

will also appear automatically in this window.

The right window displaying the names of all text files in "C:\DicMaker"

folder existing when the program is opened. The files will be displayed

in alphabetic order, with no extension (.txt) and will include also all

new files you saved in previous use of the program.

By choosing any file from the list on the right window, the content of

this file will be displayed in the lower window. The full path of the

file you chose will be copied to clipboard and you can paste it wherever

you want.

Below the right window is the "Open File" button. This button will open

the selected file on the list with Notepad for any editing you like to do.

To delete any text file you don't need any more, click on "Cut" button

(scissors icon).

The two small arrows, one up and one down, are for hiding the lower

display window (arrow up) and for showing it again (arrow down).

"Atl+Space" to minimize program.

The zip include a setup. It will be installed in: "C:\DicMaker" and you

will find shortcuts on your "Start" menu and on your desktop. Uninstaller

is provided. Although this program is a Shareware, it has no limitations of

any kind and it is fully functional.

You can download from my web site.

Thank you
