- ImageDupeless 1.6.3, Say “No” to Duplicates! — Cleaning up a hard disk or putting a CD collection in order, I always face difficulties when I see image collections. How can I organize them? And (the main question, actually), how to eliminate the duplicate images, which might have came to my computer from different sources and in different times? The typical approach (using just any general-purpose duplicate locator) simply doesn’t work, for such software…
- Macromedia Style Menu. Flash Done Right. — Every serious web site does need a navigation menu. Any objections? OK, let’s go further. The best looking and acting menus are Flash ones, it’s a well-known statement. As well-known, as Flash technology’s drawbacks: large size, difficulties of design, search engines unfriendly-ness (they can’t follow Flash links, and thus can’t index entire web-site properly). Less known fact is that you CAN really use…
- The Rename — All of us have names that we like or dislike, and practically nothing can be done with that. At a pinch, we can use nicknames. Just the same way, files have their names, which you may like or dislike. If you don’t like a certain file’s name, you just have to rename it. It seems to be quite easy at first, but how about renaming hundred of files? You can just get crazy. Alternatively, you can use…
- Rename-It! 3.42, Smart Organization — Selecting good file names is one of the basic ways to becoming organized with your own computer. It doesn’t matter, which software or «by-hand» methods you’ll use to «always know what is where» — none of those methods will work if in your folder you’ve got blah1.doc, blah2.doc and blah3.doc and have no idea what’s inside those files. Unfortunately, Windows Explorer…
- DupKiller 0.8.2, Anti-Duplicates Missile! — On the huge ordnance yard of modern hundred-Gb disks and hundred-Mbit broadband Internet there are so many files stored you can’t even count them (like you can’t count stars in the sky). Not all of them are useful; and even useful ones are typically repeatedly stored here and there, today and yesterday, so, finally, you have your «disk ordnance yard» filled up with thousand of unnecessary repetitions of the same…
- Duplicate File Detector - take the burden off your hard drives in a few clicks — Today, when hard drives have grown to enormous sizes, we don’t really care when copying files around, downloading software from the Internet and storing documents to locations that seem to be most convenient in a specific situation. All that results of dozens and hundreds of identical files being stored on your hard drive or drives, which, apart from being plain confusing, creates unwanted mess and decreases the free hard drive…
- Easy Duplicate File Finder – highly efficient duplicate files removal — The good thing about today’s hard drives is their size. Having up to a terabyte of free disk space silently spinning in your PC case makes you forget about saving space and paying attention to copies of folder and files scattered across the drive. However, the abundance of copies may become quite confusing, especially if you try to keep your archive of program distributives more or less up to date. Finding…
- DecryptSQL, Conquer Encrypted Queries — Remember the plot of any blockbuster or spy movie you watched recently? A good guy pursues a bad but clever secret agent, almost captures him, but… Suddenly, the bad guy’s traces disappear, and the good guy has little or no clue of where the trace would continue. Dealing with someone else’s code is a lot similar. As soon as you decide you’ve figured it out, you may stumble upon a trick you…
