Favorites Menu to change name on new version

I am hard at work with the new release of “Favorites menu” and should be out for download in a couple of weeks. Check back or E-Mail me to be notified when it is ready.

The application will be under a new undecided name. Comment and let me know if you have any suggestions.

Some of the new features that will be added are:

Save up to 25 menu items per sub menu by default. That's 100 items and can be raised or lowered depending on your needs

Ability to rename the sub-menus to better suit your needs

Save an unlimited number of memos that can be automatically placed on the clipboard. (Great for signatures and addresses) [This feature will replace the “Notes” on the beta version]

Ability to hide and show any window directly thru a hotkey and the main menu

Ability to activate windows currently shown

Adding menu items got a whole lot easier. Just copy the file, folder, or URL and press a hotkey and it will automatically paste the path in the correct field, then name the item and your done!

Various commands to increase productivity including putting the current system time and date on the clipboard

Updated error codes with warnings and alerts to let you know if you didn’t format something right.

Now there is two ways to show the menu one of which only requires one hand on the mouse for quick access so you don’t have to put down that delicious candy bar.

The application will now clean up after itself releasing that valuable memory. (Current testing is showing the memory work set around 4,500 kb)

The entire code has been re-factored and is currently around 700 lines which is about 200 more lines than the current beta, but considering all the new features that is pretty damn good if I do say so myself. If this is too much for you I will also make available a cut down version just for launching applications.

Check back soon to get the new release!

Two adds to the A-Pathetic Collection

A-Pathetic Text Append is an application that will watch the clipboard for data and then append that data to either a new CSV file or a file that you choose. Very helpful if you are trying to collect a list of data. This app will treat everything like data so when you copy a file from your HDD it will append the full path to the file. This is a “feature” and not a bug.

A-Pathetic Window Hide is an app that resides in your task tray and allows you to easy hide an active window by using hot key “Control + Spacebar”. Show a hidden window by right clicking the icon in the task tray and selecting it from the menu. You can also use the “Show All” command to show all hidden windows. Currently it can hide up to 20 windows. If you need more than 20 please contact me and if you are nice I might write you a custom version.

The A-Pathetic Collection

A-Pathetic Window Trans Set will set the transparency on windows via several hot keys. You can slowly set the transparency of window by holding down "Control" and the "Numberpad Enter" buttons. When the window is as transparent as you like it just release the "Numberpad Enter" key. Fun pointless shit!

A few to start off with

All packages are compressed with 7zip. Get it Here

Favorites Menu Beta is a menu based launcher program that can hold up to 40 shortcuts to folders, files, programs, or websites and is accessed by a hotkey (control + Right click). It can also be used for quick note taking.

Process Killer is a useful little app that I wrote a couple of days ago to deal with a certain problem I was having with CamStudio. Basically it watches for a process that you define and immediately kills it without discretion before it has a chance to load. It stays in the task tray with only a menu and an editable .txt file to guide you. This app has no GUI, nor will it ever.... stop asking. You define the processes you wish to kill by opening up the Processes list accessible by right clicking the icon in the task tray. If you need anymore description, you shouldn't be using this app.

Random Memory Tester is a little game I wrote to help me memorize various strings of numbers, letters and words very quickly. It also has a "Simon" mode which will display a string of numbers one at a time that you must successfully concatenate. It is also good for ten key practice.

Quick File Catalog-UE is a small portable app that will scan a directory, catalog all files and then output to either a text or CSV file. This is one of the first apps I ever wrote.
