This app was born out of my frustration with Servant Salamander's half-assed file list utility that wouldn't traverse subdirectories. I needed a list of files from a directory with over 300 subdirectories, so I sure as hell wasn't going to do each directory individually. Like some applications I've done before, this one has been beefed up more than what I originally required of it and is thus the perfect addition to one's utility program toolbox.


From the documentation:

File Lister is an advanced-user tool for making lists of files that can be worked with in other applications, such as file comparators or batch commands. It can also be used for simply indexing files for sharing or such. It offers the following major features:

• Full-featured, intuitive GUI
• Regular Expression matching (or basic wildcards matching)
• Output format customization
• File hashing
• Subdirectory traversal
• Drag-and-Drop file/directory matching
• Clipboard or file output

1.6:
-added counters to output format with pattern %i
-rewrote output format parser to be pre-compiled for speed improvement
-optimized regex matching for significant speed improvement when using regex
-fixed crash if output file in use by another program
-added option to match full path in regex instead of only filename
-added option to invert matching behavior for regex
-fixed a bug with groupings in filesize pattern
-removed default pattern option from pattern selection menu, added "Default" buttons to some dialogs
-fixed missing use of default options for date, size, and attributes patterns without parameters
-added the option to use regex capturing groups in output format with pattern %v

1.5:
-output format textbox gets focus now after inserting a pattern from the list
-added program options dialog for previous advanced options
-changed some advanced option key names in the config file. users will need to redo them if updating
-fixed buffered output
-efficiency speed improvements; about 15% faster when not hashing
-fixed current directory status bar "kern wiggling" when text length varied
-path selection dialog starts in currently entered path, if available
-added a warning about missing line terminators in the output format
-improved error system and error reporting
-added dialogs for file size, date, attributes, and hash arguments
-added file hash to output format
-removed %u, %v, %w, and %z. they are superseded by new inline arguments.
-most recently used text parameters always moved to top of dropdowns
-added inline filesize, date, and attributes arguments to output format
-fixed error when a % was at the end of an output format string
-fixed %f (File Name), %g (Name Part Only), %h (Extension Part Only), %p (Path), and %e (Relative Path) when outputting directories. in general, directory matches are now treated like files.

Cursor Lock is a utility program that confines the mouse cursor to a selected area on the screen. This is most useful in multi-monitor setups, addressing a common oversight in some applications (mostly games) whereby they allow the mouse cursor to drift into other unwanted screens. In video games, this can also lead to minimizing the game window if the cursor has drifted into another screen and the mouse is clicked accidentally. Cursor Lock can also overcome cursor drifting problems in windowed applications and games.

Features:

• Locking only when focused--requires no special user interaction, nor does it interfere with task switching between screens
• Uses a superior method of capturing the cursor compared to other solutions (i.e. MouseTrap)
• Ability to open one program and lock another allows Cursor Lock to work well with launcher programs
• Can confine the cursor to window borders, in addition to a whole screen
• Customizable hotkeys allow for complete control of locking in any situation
• Alternate locking modes that run in the background for full user control and special circumstances
• Intuitive GUI support program for quick setup of Cursor Lock shortcuts
• Integrated help system for shortcut setup program
• Highly optimized and efficient locking program that uses practically no memory or CPU

2.5.1
=Lock(1.2.1)
-fixed a bug with argument passing where the program executable wasn't given as the first argument

2.5:
=Lock(1.2)
-added user and strict user modes
-added window and window interior lock regions
-code cleanup
-minor bug fixes
=GUI(1.5)
-redesigned layout to be more intuitive
-added settings for the new switches
-added about tab
-added test and self-test functions

2.11:
=GUI(1.21)
-fixed a rare bug that occured when creating shortcuts to some programs with invalid filename characters in their program name

2.1:
=Lock(1.1)
-Optimized the polling code to reduce the CPU usage to inpercievably small amounts while the program to lock still has focus
    -at least 10x less CPU

2.0:
=GUI(1.2)
-removed the lock code and set shortcut targets to the new lock app
-made sure any shortcut arguments with spaces have quotes around them. \" escapes
-added the /s switch
-removed memory minimize (/m) switch, since the new lock app doesn't support it
=Lock(1.0)
-initial release - complete C++ rewrite of the command-line driven lock monitor

1.1:
-added the /s argument, which locks the cursor to the current screen

1.0:
-added hotkeys for toggling lock and exiting the lock program; should work with most keys except F10, Tab, and PrintScreen. Non-standard US keys will probably appear as a number.
-added arguments parameter for opening programs.
-added lock program parameter, allows for opening a program and locking another and locking without opening.
-added hotkey override parameter.
-better checking for valid text parameters.
-better log formatting for time.
-added help text for new elements

I made this simple app as a replacement to using the blank screensaver when I'm leaving the computer (usually for the night). Instead of the monitor(s) eventually going to standby after a certain idle time, they'll go immediately when you run this program. This saves power (since I know I won't be back for awhile) and keeps the backlight glow from disturbing my sleep. When I say "simple app", I mean really simple, like 1 line of code simple. It takes a single function call to perform, but yet Microsoft couldn't be bothered to include this anywhere in Windows' interface. It actually took me more time to make the icon than to do the code.

Tip: If you put a shortcut to this program in your Start Menu somewhere, you can set the "Shortcut key" to whatever hotkey you want and use that to put the monitor(s) into standby.

1.1:
-fixed possible hanging due to other apps running being hung

This is a 3D sound demonstration app that was originally a DirectX 9 SDK sample. However, all Microsoft's example did was open one sound and spin it around the listener. I added the abiltiy to have multiple sounds placed anywhere in a 2D soundscape. It also allows the user to move the listener around in the soundscape as they would a video game. My greatest ambition for this program was to make it a sound engine for a video game set completely in the dark (hence the name), except for a scanner remniscent of the one from Aliens. However, that's far off from what I have now. For the final version, I just want to have ogg/mp3 file support and a DirectX effects editor for every loaded sound.

The source and some starter sounds are included in this release. The program is probably good for testing surround sound speakers, as well.

This program is useful for fixing out-of-sync audio in video files. It does the math to find out what framerate will bring the audio back into sync. You will still need a program like VirtualDub to fix the video file. The Readme includes a complete tutorial on how to fix audio sync issues with Media Player Classic, VirtualDubMod, and this program.

This is a quick program I made to remove log entries from this site's AXS logs, but it should also work with most other log formats. It's meant to remove a line from a text file if it matches the regular expression provided. You give it an input file and output file, and it'll complete the search and copy in a relatively short time (50mb in ~5 secs). It also can just check to see if there are any matches without the copying. I used .NET because it has good built-in regex support and file IO performance.

This is a very simple app that I coded in one day because I was tired of trying to remember all the connection data rates and doing 6 steps in a calculator to figure out how long it would take to transfer some data. You can select from predefined data rates in the list or select "Custom" to enter your own. Then you enter the amount of data you want to transfer. Remember that a uppercase B means bytes and a lowercase b means bits. The calculator updates the time it will take to transfer in real-time. You can also change the unit of time displayed and copy all of this to the clipboard. It'll look like this: 11KB at 53Kb/s (56K Modem) will take 1.66 Seconds

What the beta testers thought:
"woah. impressive list. good job, person" -Victoria
"wow that shit is dank" -Danky

1.1.10:
-fixed conversion from bytes to bits using 1000 instead of 1024.
-fixed data rate profiles being limited to 50 and anything above that crashing the program on start. there is no limit now.
-updated the icon to add XP transparency effects.

1.0.07:
-Initial Release

This is an app I made to address the inability of the Logitech drivers and software to change mouse button settings according to the app that has the focus. As an alternative, you may want to use the Logigamer software. My app only works with the MX510, MX500, MX700, and MX310 right now, but it has the possibility of working with any of the (older) Mouseware mice. (If you have a newer, SetPoint mouse, try uberOptions.) While my app doesn't allow some of the more advanced features like Logigamer, it does have an edge with a different method of notifying the Logitech mouse software drivers of scheme changes (it uses a message system instead of the more common restarting of EM_EXEC). This makes it a little more responsive. I also think my user-interface and scheme settings are easier to use.

The software is split into a monitoring app that sits in the systray and a settings app. The settings app can add programs by browsing or selecting open programs. All the functions of the Mouseware are available to set to buttons, including keystrokes. You can also select to add a program to the games compatibility list for the Logitech software. The monitor app uses about 2-3MB of memory standard, but can be minimized down to 1MB on low system memory. Crashes on startup have been fixed.

changes in 0.7:
-added basic support for the following mice: MX500, MX700, MX310. i have no idea whether or not these mice work, but if they follow the same routines as the MX510, it is probable they will.
-fixed em_exec crashes on startup :D
-fixed em_exec crashes when deleting schemes
-clicking on a scheme in the list will load it as the current scheme (is probably only of use with the monitor app paused)
-updated links in about dialog
-about and debug dialogs appear in the taskbar
-tooltip for the games compat checkbox
-left and right arrows move the pollrate slider by 1 now for anal people like me
