The multimedia player, 'Wav player', has been updated a few times since last post here, and is now up to version 1.1.4.0.

WvPlayer now has a regular menu on top of the window, like all Window's applications have. This menu can be hidden from the options, though, if you preffer to maintain the old style. The full dropdown menu will always be present from the dropdown buttom right next to 'exit' button, as it was before, and will be kept there.

Some menu shortcuts have been defined too, as well as a few more options to help you work the way you want the software to. One of the new options is 'Click''n''play', and this one allows 'Wv player' to imediately play a file on selecting it from the file browser, without needing to double-click or press the play button.

There is also a 'select all' menu to select all files and play them one after the other, and multiselect is also present already, so it's easy to play as many files as you want in a row.

And, as always, all new versions can be freely downloaded from the freeware webpage. It's FREE, folks! So send me your suggestions, ideas and... donations

'Pic Viewer' (and editor) freeware has been updated up to version 1.0.2.0, thanks to the suggestions and ideas of Michael Bayley that was kind to email with a whole lot of very nice suggestions to add to this software. Thank you Michael.

First, we have the command line - that already existed but was not yet announced to the users and that allows you to supply a folder and a file name for the software to start up with, like:
"path to application\Viewer.exe" "path to file\file name"
Or as in this example (note: don't forget the "commas" if any path has spaces in it, or Windows itself won't recognize it):
"C:\Viewer path\Viewer.exe" "C:\Windows\filename.bmp"
This will open the PicViewer on the folder and show the picture you want it to.

Another thing that was done in this version is the option to show the 'file browser' on top of the application window - as it used to stand all the time - or on the left side of the window, if you so preffer, just by changing the option in preferences. So we now have 2 designs for you, the happy user, to choose from:

top   or   left
And some other enhancements have been introduced, like a 'close' toolbar button, the toolbar now resizing properly, an option to show or hide all drives or only the hard drives in your computer, and a few other minor corrections to the source.

So, as always, download this latest version from our freeware page, together with all other freeware of mine.

'Pic Viewer' freeware utility has been updated up to version 1.0.1.4, thanks to the suggestions and ideas of Don Cohen that was kind to report that the software wouldn't work has an Windows association for any file tipes.

This was due to this freeware not being - yet - ready to accept any command lines, so it wouldn't understand that the user was sending something it's way

This is now, hopefully, corrected and done with.

So, as always, download this last version from our FREEware page, where you can also find a lot of my freeware.

The 'Porta'Menu' freeware utility has been updated also, up tp version 1.0.3.8, thanks to the suggestions and ideas of Murray Balchin that suggested some new uses to this on - thanks Murray

This version, among other things retouched and debuged, has the introduction of a command line switch /s to avoid the use of an INI file to save all preferences that are being created along it's use. Like this it will only use defaults and nothing else, but will work like before on all other matters.

And, of course, all FREE software is always available from our FREEware page, so go check everything that it's there.

And already a fast update of 'ToDo Reminder' to version 1.1.6.2, due to a bug introduced during last version.

Thanks again go to Dannis for letting me know that when converting to this new version, and if an older task wouldn't have a defined hour for finalizing, it would give an error and version 1.1.6.1 wouldn't work. No worries, has this update now corrects it and also corrects the converted database, so just replace the executable with this one and everything work fine.

As always, this new download is already available from the freeware page.

Thanks to the suggestions of Dennis Dotson, 'Watch' freeware has been updated a bit more, and is now up to version 1.1.4.4.

Countdown label was transparent and messing with watch numbers - this is indeed a Delhpi bug, easy to solve - when you know it's there.. Also the countdown beep was rather annoying (thanks Dennis for the above 2) and is now optional from the 'sounds' option form. A few colors troughout the program were wrong and, well.. some more little changes were made, as I was at it already.

You can download this new version - and all other software - from our FREEware page, as always.

'ToDo Reminder' freeware has been updated a couple of times again and is now at version 1.1.6.1.

The database type has been converted from the old ini (text) type to a faster (stream) one, more useful and that permited a lot of new improvements, as well as faster and more precise saving, loading and editing. Limits on note's size are gone now, so you can have a note has long as you want for each task also. Sorting routines have been improved, and menus for sorting at will have also been added. Some more not so evident internal improvements have beem made, like correcting some bugs and adding preferences to the 'archive' window, among other things.

As always, all freeware can be FREEly downloaded from the freeware page. Keep sending your suggestions, ideas and, of course, your donations

Thanks to Dennis for caring to send some suggestions that were also used on the 'ToDo Reminder' freeware.

Changes on this last version are the ability to define diferent text color for each line, along with the introdution of 'categories' to help you better group the notes as per your choice. Also, copying to Clipboard is now working and this allows you to copy all data to Windows clipboard, already formated and ready to be pasted, for instance, in Excel or any other place you wish, for that matter

Date Reminder window can now be resized horizontaly - also requested by some users - and the software minimizes to Windows tray correctly again as it used to do in the past, before the last versions of Windows came...
