- File Security Manager 1.7. Controlled Freedom — Modern network-ready and secure operating systems provide us with a very useful concept of Resource Access Control. It generally means the ability to grant different access permissions to individual resources (files and folders) for different users of the system, local and network ones. For example, a certain file can be permitted to be read but not written to; or certain folders can be opened and programs in them…
- NAntBuilder 1.1, Handy Cover for Handy Tool — The make tool was cool. But this «was» is twenty years old. Today’s programmers don’t cherish the old make not because they are dumb, but because they live in the new time with a new mind and new habits. Today’s build and automation tools are XML-based, because XML is universal. .Net environments and .Net programmers are in love with free and open-source NAnt tool. But, as modern developers, we want not only…
- File Cataloger 1.1.2, Just Like Explorer, Yet Better — There are several very different approaches to files cataloging (organizing) task. Some people argue «folders are completely enough», others fall in love with Web-like «tags» and «tag clouds», thirds tend to add some science to topic and talk something about «graphs» and «facets»… For those of us, who likes folders and standard Explorer, yet wants all of them to be seriously smarter…
- 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…
- Recover My Files - Data Recovery – a handy utility that will make sure nothing gets lost forever! — If you have ever lost a file that was really important at a time when it was least necessary, you know this frantic feeling very well. Files can be lost accidentally after a power failure, a hardware crash or a human mistake, and there isn’t much we can do about it. However, if you think that a deleted file is something you can’t get back, you are wrong. Fortunately, there are tools that can save…
- File Security Manager - full control over file and folder access permissions (even in Windows XP Home) — Being an overall excellent operating system, Windows XP does have some versions that limit user’s control capabilities to a bare minimum. For instance, Windows XP Home offers a great set of multimedia and general features, but lacks the degree of flexibility that many advanced users would definitely appreciate. For instance, the Home version will not allow you to set file and folder access right, which is a common method…
- Lovely Folders: Inspiring Look of Explorer Folders — The standard appearance of the folders in Windows Explorer can hardly be referred to as «inspiring»; less to say about «pretty» or «lovely». They’re rather boring and unproductive. And the worst thing about them is that users can’t make any essential changes to their appearance, as Windows doesn’t provide any serious folder customization options. So, the majority of users…
- Duplicate File Finder .NET - a jolt of fresh air for a clogged hard drive — Since the majority of today’s hard drives are measured in hundreds of gigabytes or even in terabytes, we rarely pay attention to how we keep our data organized, if at all. A visit of a friend with a portable hard drive full of movies, photos and music or a LAN party leaves chaos on your data storage and you may be quite surprised to find several copies of the same folders and files…
- Unreal Commander - a file manager with a twist — If you got to know computers some 10-15 years ago, you must have seen dozens of file managers. You may have even switched to the standard Windows Explorer at a certain point, but missed the speed and efficiency of good-old two-pane file managers, especially when working with lots of files and moving them across various disks. If you are an old-school user willing to go back to the origins or a novice looking for…
