Exstora

#1 Post by Fluffy »

Synopsis: Exstora is a planner and organizer, with a user-friendly interface and appealing design. The planner is equally suited for daily events as well as long-term events with a calendar to help keep track. Also works well as a scratch pad for random notes, and can be password-protected.

Writes settings to: Application folder

How to extract: Download and install the application, then move all files except for uninstall.exe to a folder of your choice. Finally, uninstall the program.

License: Freeware

Requirements: Windows 2000, XP, the homepage claims that it needs 10 MB of HDD space and 64 MB of RAM though I'm quite certain this is not accurate.

Don't know about RAM requirements but the English version needs 0.3Mb of HDD space.

Exactly, possibly a few more KB's for the xml that stores settings. And I've been running this all night and the RAM usage hasn't gone above 6 MBs (actually, hasn't gone very far above 5).

Missing instructions issue:

It currently lists a way to get an INI file from the AppData folder, but I'm guessing that requires the program is installed or run first. Suggested (but probably incomplete) revised instructions:
  • Download the installer and extract to a folder of your choice.
  • Delete [NSIS].nsi and $PLUGINSDIR
  • Launch and close Exstora.exe
  • In Windows 2000 and XP, open Explorer and look in the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data/Exstora
  • Move the exstora_dat.xml file into the one with Exstora.exe
  • Launch Exstora.exe
