drawing tools are great!

Current version: 2.5.1 ( https://www.snipaste.com/download.html )

@juverax:

That's beta

I am the authour of this program and originally wrote it for NANY 2014. Here is the thread: http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=39857.0 but I am happy to share it with everyone!

Just updated this program to version 1.3. Here's what's new:

Fixed issue where drag-n-drop list did not load it correctly
Improved: the Finder criteria is now static; when you switch lists it automatically filters the new list with the Finder criteria
Added Recent Menu with ini option for maxrecent
Fixed wrong icons on hover for the main GUI buttons
Added icons to the List menus

I am the authour of this application - I wrote it for the Donation Coder NANY 2015. http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=41139.msg383632

Until home page comes back online: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml

Updated to v7.1 and became shareware.
See more in forum topic.

Above Softpedia link downloads version 7.1

Oh - forgot - with HoeKey you also get a little panel that lists all of the hotkeys you assigned. That's really handy.

This used to be one of my favorite programs back in the day! :)

It's now at version 2.0

Add string aliases, *foo=something to define, ~N=MsgBox|Some text:%{foo} to use.
Add SetBrightness command. e.g. ~N=SetBrightness||Absolute Value (0-100)|Relative Value (-100 - 100). Requires Vista or newer.
Remove RunAlias command.

Also: be sure to disable the splash in X-ColorCop.ini

Not sure why the author decided to make the settings store in the appData for the newer versions. Older versions are stealth.

Maybe a drive to make it more Windows 10 compatible, as later versions seem to have problems with it... (e.g., see https://github.com/ColorCop/ColorCop/releases/).

This is an awesome program. I use it with FreeCommander.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Tested and I won't keep it, so here is my mini-review, some info for others to decide if it fits their uses.

1. "Dirty" portable installation : Install > Tools > Copy to flash drive > Uninstall, leaves many traces to hunt for and manually delete.

2. Free version much too much crippled for my use. Can't publish to eBook, can't export TOC, so can't use to publish anything outside of the program. Word and HTML export don't preserve internal links and can't be easily navigated.

Sad, because it offers by far the best text formatting I've found (images, tables, links, styles, etc.).

Not a bad product for sure, and respect to the programmer for offering a free version, but if you search for a "simple but just enough options" programs to write and publish lesson notes for your students, just know that you'll have to pay to make it usable / useful.

I'll keep searching, having abandoned EssentialPIMFree (not enough formatting options) and Precision Helper (no more developed since ages). Of course, YMMV, IMHO, etc. ;-)

Have a nice day!

@portablefree: Thanks for sharing, it's always good to find some personal insight to qualify the feature list.

This software is perfect.

I have been using this program for years. I have tried every way possible to contact the authour in order to have some improvements made, but can't ever seem to get ahold of him. None of the comments I make on the page ever get moderated and posted.

It has an issue where if you create a new folder and then immediately attempt to delete it, you will get an application exception, even the app won't crash completely. After that exception, nothing you do will get saved, so the best thing to do at that point is to exit the program completely and re-open it. I used reshacker on it and was able to achieve wordwrap in the comments pane, and to remove the functionality where the cursor gets put anywhere you click instead of going to last place available in the line of text. If anyone wants my hacked version, I can provide it. Like I said, I've tried everything to get ahold of the authour, but all to no avail. However, despite all this, I haven't found a better "code bank" than this one, and I've tried them all.

@tproli
Fixed. Here's what happened... I opened CodeBank2's config file with Notepad while testing the program for portability. But I totally forgot about that when I was looking for registry changes. To cut the story short, .xdb2 came up in the search results and I was quick to list it as "not stealth", neglecting the fact that Notepad was the culprit. Thanks, redfaced baas.

@BGM: I'm interested. I suggest you post at the forum...
