    I saw Glary on Gizmo's list. Haven't tried it yet. Right now things are working well so I'm not too anxious to tweak. Bask in the sun while there ain't no clouds type of thing.

      Media Info Poller freebie

      I was looking for some kind of shell extension or utility to add the play times of media files. I posted a request on Coding Snacks forum on Donation Coder and skwire was nice enough to code it in AutoHotKey. Just drag & drop a bunch of media files onto the list and it shows play time and totals them up. Here's a link to the thread. The utility is freeware. I tried it on Vista 32 and 64 bit.



      There's a download link in the thread 'bout half way down.

        skwire spruced up his program a bit. Now called PlayTime, it calculates total play times of media files dropped on, also total time for selected files is shown on status bar. Double click an entry plays the file with the associated player.

          I have another home grown hotkey util available for download. This one is for XP and later.
          If you hit Shift-NumberPadMinus hotkey, the "home folder" for the active window is opened. IOW, whatever folder that exe is in that created the window.

          If you hit Control-NumberPadMinus a command prompt opens. If the window is an explorer folder, that will be the current directory for the command prompt. If the window is an application window, the home folder will be current directory for the command prompt.

          It may prove convenient sometimes. I know I hate going to the shortcut to find out where the program that's running is installed. This hotkey gizmo makes it quicker.

          See Home Folder at the bottom of this page:

            update

            An MRU list of only 10 folders seemed a bit meager so I updated XMon folder monitor with an Up/Down button to allow adjusting the maxium folder setting. The range is 4 to 64 folders.

            There's a download link near the bottom of this page:

              Sorry to hijack your thread, but since the title of the thread is "Free software every day," I thought it would be okay.

              This freebee looks interesting for the budding or professional collage artist out there.

                Alerts for free software is why it's here. I guess I have too much free time so I tend to post a lot of follow-ups here.

                  The "hijack" remark is simply my attempt at humour, albiet dry, but humour nonetheless.

                  Later.

                              Burrell, how is the quality of the converted Icon. Is the clarity of the icon good.

                                I guess the icon is with lower quality than the original portrait. I don't know if this is normal.

                                I tried to attach the difference, but the ico file is invalid for the forum.

                                I assume you know what you are looking for, it is free today.

                                I'd be curious to know your opinion.

                                I do know freeware of a program like this is hard to find when I searched for photo_angel2004 some time back when she was looking for something like this.

                                Thanks
