After Nitewalker listed Vulture's Eye and Alien Arena and Umbra mentioned Nexuiz without Moderators' complaints I guessed it could be useful to introduce more fine free full version games. Maybe this thread should be named 'useful software' to involve all genres of recommendable free bits and bytes.

Choose Files (or drag and drop) ... > Check and set a option > Rename Files ... (> Undo when you want or need) Quote:

Password Corral is a popular freeware password manager. With a clean, easy to use interface, strong encryption and all the features you would expect from a program you'd have to pay for, it's no wonder thousands of people have made it their choice for password management!
MediaMonkey is a music manager and jukebox for serious music collectors and iPod users. It catalogs your CDs, OGG, WMA, MPC, FLAC, APE, WAV and MP3 audio files. It offers an intelligent tag editor which looks up missing Album Art and track information via Freedb and the web, and an automated file and directory renamer to organize your music library. It includes a CD ripper, CD/DVD Burner, and audio converter for saving music, and manual or automated playlist editors for creating music mixes. Its player automatically adjusts volume levels so that you don't have continually fiddle with the volume control and supports hundreds of Winamp plug-ins and visualizations; or if you prefer, it can use Winamp as the default player. It also includes portable audio device synchronization that allows you to quickly synch tracks and playlists with iPods, MP3 Phones, and other portable audio devices. The Wonderful Icon is a small Windows utility that resides in your PC's taskbar tray.
MacroMaker allows you to create macros or recordings to automate most anything that you already do by hand. MacroMaker was written more for the use of people who regularly use computers and programmers rather than the casual PC user. Most anything you know how to do by hand can be translated into a macro or recording in MacroMaker. If you are having to perform repetitive tasks, this program will help you out tremendiously. The user can simulate a series of keystrokes, mouse events, play back previous recordings of keystrokes and mouse events or execute some built-in functions with just a keystroke. You can even store content from the clipboard in internal MacroMaker buffers for later use. PSPad - editor for developers for Microsoft Windows systems. The universal freeware editor, useful for people who:

Multi OS Video editor
Avidemux 2.4 Final
It has two different looks (in the Windows non install .zip version i use) so two previews: (GTK (left) and QT4 (right)) Simular to VirtualDub but works on more platforms. Like VirtualDub it is also not easy, needs some getting used to. Freeware Operating Systems: 32-bit MS Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP), Mac OS, Linux and Ubuntu Comes with build in video and audio encoding codecs like: XviD, x264, mpeg2enc, MPEG-2, LAME, AC3, etc. and several filters. To convert VOB files you will first have to copy them to your HD. Quote:
http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/ Some manuals: http://en.flossmanuals.net/Avidemux/ http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/inde...itle=Main_Page Guide to encoding types: http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/inde...encoding_types (added info and screens from the reply below) When you run Windows you can try the 2.4.1 ZIP (non install) version you can unzip it to a folder and run both the GTK and the QT4 version by clicking on avidemux2_gtk.exe or avidemux2_qt4.exe. When the program doesn't suit you can remove it otherwise you can give it a location and some (desktop) shortcuts. Last edited by DubSalute; March 11th, 2008 at 12:20 AM.. |

Image uploader
Quote:
Freeware Windows XP (32bit (x86)) (don't know if it will also run on other Windows versions) No install just unrar and double click exe to run. You will need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed. When needed you can find and download it via Windows update website from the Custom updates > Optional section: http://www.update.microsoft.com or on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...DisplayLang=en Download IIIUploader - v.1.7.7 (229kB): http://www.hqcity.ru/soft/IIIU.rar (http://hqcity.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=20949) Uploads to: (will enable to upload large sets in one go (use .jpg)) - imagevenue.com - shareavenue.com - radikal.ru - largeimagehost.com - allyoucanupload.com - pixhosting.info - **********.us - imagepile.net - freeimagehost.eu - imagehigh.com - supload.com - pictiger.com - *******.com - pixup.info - hqcity.com - hqcity.net - heyimage.com - xs.to You can drag and drop imagefiles or complete folders on the program window to add and queque the images to upload, when a folder is dropped it will automaticly give the set the name of the folder. Note: use .jpg files, make sure to uncheck 'Save for work ...' when uploading nude content to ImageVenue (or set that to default in 'Settings') also note it will sort all uploaded images in a set by filename when you upload more the one set of images then create a new set with a different name when adding them otherwise they will get mixed up. It will add this Uploaded with IIIUploader link to every uploaded set but you can take that out, best to do that IMHO cause it will only give the download of the rar archive without any info. The same set twice both uploaded with IIIUploader - v.1.7.7 one to ImageVenue one to FreeImageHost.eu. ImageVenue: Uploaded with IIIUploader < better to take this out. FreeImageHost.eu: Uploaded with IIIUploader < better to take this out. Last edited by DubSalute; April 20th, 2008 at 02:10 AM.. |

More useful programs
Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.
DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis. StickyPad is an invaluable, easy-to-use tool that lets you place sticky notes on your desktop. You can type notes to yourself, set meeting and appointment reminders, keep track of a to-do list, and anything else you would do with paper notes. Your notes can be printed, pasted into other applications, or emailed to coworkers. You can even make notes translucent and have them float above your other windows, so you can see both your note and what you are working on. When you log off, StickyPad remembers all of your notes, and when you log back on, your notes are still there. Thunderbird is a modern email client with features such as intelligent spam filters, a built-in spell checker, a range of themes and customisable layout. Thunderbird provides IMAP/POP support, HTML e-mail composing, quick search, address book, advanced message filtering, address completion, import tools, and the ability to manage multiple e-mail and newsgroup accounts. You can add a wide variety of extensions to Thunderbird to add additional features or tweak its behavior to suit your own preferences. TightVNC is a remote control software that lets you see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer. Ideal for remote administration, remote customer support, education, and for many other purposes, and because it works across different operating systems you can use almost any computer, from any computer. Sumatra PDF is a flexible and lightweight PDF reader, with a minimalistic design that allows fast browsing and even faster loading times. It also remembers the last page of every PDF you read, so you can resume reading at any time in the future. PDFCreator is a free tool to create PDF files from nearly any Windows application. Key Features: * Create PDFs from any program that is able to print * Security: Encrypt PDFs and protect them from being opened, printed etc. * Send generated files via eMail * Create more than just PDFs: PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, PS, EPS * AutoSave files to folders and filenames based on Tags like Username, Computername, Date, Time etc. * Merge multiple files into one PDF TrueCrypt is a free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux. Main Features: * Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk. * Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive. * Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication). * Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent. * Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: 1) Hidden volume (steganography – more information may be found here). 2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data). * Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS. Xenu's Link Sleuth checks Web sites for broken links. Link verification is done on "normal" links, images, frames, plug-ins, backgrounds, local image maps, style sheets, scripts and java applets. It displays a continously updated list of URLs which you can sort by different criteria. A report can be produced at any time. Restoration is an easy to use and straight forward tool to undelete files that were removed from the recycle bin or directly deleted from within Windows, and we were also able to recover photos from a Flash card that had been formatted. Upon start, you can scan for all files that may be recovered and also limit the results by entering a search term or extension. In addition, it also provides the option to wipe the found files beyond simple recovery. The program is small and standalone, it does not require installation and can also run from a Floppy disk. Restoration works with FAT and NTFS as well as digital cameras cards.

Useful Firefox extensions
Adblock Plus:
Right-click on a banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu - the banner won't be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well. Or you select a filter subscription when Adblock Plus starts up the first time, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically. Remove It Permanently - useful addon to AdBlock. Permanently hide content from web pages using the Context Menu. Simply, click and "Remove it Permanently". Now includes previewing of items before removal, support for IFrame as well as lots of advanced features to make it easy for anyone to remove annoying content from web pages.

Mouse Gestures are a fast way to execute commands without using the keyboard, menus or toolbars.

You can also make a selection and chose "Remove everything else" to clear the page and only leave the selected text. Reload Every reloads web pages every so many seconds or minutes. The function is accessible via the context menu (menu you get when you right click on a web page) or via a drop down menu on the reload button. Linkification Converts text links into genuine, clickable links. DownThemAll lets you download all the links or images contained in a webpage and much more: you can refine your downloads by fully customizable criteria to get only what you really want.

To email it, just click. * Preview web links, images, and videos without even clicking. * NEW! View Google & Yahoo Image Search in ultra slideshow mode * “Stack” previewed items into temporary bookmarks to quickly preview later. * Instantly send links to friends and family with just a click. * Automatically subsearch Google, Wikipedia, and many others by right-clicking on any phrase * Customize preferences to control preview window activation, time delay, size & position, etc. TorrentBar is a BitTorrent File Search Toolbar for Firefox.

One more should be mentioned - DownloadHelper.
Its by far not as powerful as Bulk Image Downloader and I tought of unistaling it, but I realized its still quite useful. Its a small FireFox extension and is handy for quick download of galleries of anything _directly_ linked from page you are visiting. Thats good when you come across several mpg files forming one big movie, for example. Consider using it. Its free, no limits or anything. http://www.downloadhelper.net/ |
