Using any sort of explorer/file manager utility would require me knowing/remembering EXACTLY what key words I used... and my brain's pretty fried. For example, I have a wax seal TUT that came in handy when I was experimenting with creating paint drops, but if a utility had scanned for paint or drops, it wouldn't have shown up. Since there's only maybe 50 files in any subfolder, it's easy enough to open that folder and do a visual scan. Of course, with GIMP, FwF alone bloated that folder up by 40 plug-in files. :-)</p> <p>I tacked up a wanted poster for a freeware broken link checker some time back. As I recall, Bubby offered a suggestion, but his software only scans and checks links stored in a couple specific folders (e.g. FAVS) on the C: drive, which I don't use. I need something that'll scan all my partitions for the 25,000 URLs I've saved over 10+ years. Very daunting task, that. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2490#post-17142 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:46:17 +0000 graylox 17142@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><strong>RunesageMagik</strong> thanx again for your <em>step-by-step handholding</em> sometimes I really need that.<br /> My (new) system is similar to yours - but not yet complete; I stopped with replacing files, checking for broken links (quite a lot) as EverNote stepped onto the scene, and now I need GPS, finding something.<br /> You say you <em>can quickly scan</em>, do you mean by your eyes or is there a small tool, which scans only a specific folder? Oh I see, that's another topic.

I've been pretty zealous about maintaining my SOP because just saving links to Favs creates a jumbled filename mess - some browser window headings are cryptic or too wordy. (hah, like I should throw stones about wordiness) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2490#post-17139 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:31:39 +0000 graylox 17139@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanx, RM, you never have too many tutorials - but you always have too many.<br /> All those tutorials I have downloaded and bookmarked - it's hard to find the right one in the right time.<br /> about.com has a lot of ads, and can be rather annoying, but I'm quite often there for varying topics, it's really useful and I have learned a lot on and downloaded off that site. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2490#post-17123 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:44:02 +0000 RunesageMagik 17123@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>First GIMP tutorials at About.Com -<br /> <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2007/09/22/do-you-use-the-gimp.htm" rel="nofollow">http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2007/09/22/do-you-use-the-gimp.htm</a><br /> <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/gimp/The_GIMP_Resources_and_Tutorials.htm" rel="nofollow">http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/gimp/The_GIMP_Resources_and_Tutorials.htm</a></p> <p>Tut #1 - <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/gimp/ss/rotatestraight.htm?nl=1" rel="nofollow">http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/gimp/ss/rotatestraight.htm?nl=1</a><br /> Tut #2 - <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/gimp/ss/perspective.htm?nl=1" rel="nofollow">http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/gimp/ss/perspective.htm?nl=1</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2490#post-15978 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:43:39 +0000 graylox 15978@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Pooooow - that was a close thing!<br /> Reading "40+ GIMP plugins" I was in a cold sweat ( or should I say acrohyperhidrosis ? ...still learning ).<br /> No, all-clear, the danger's gone; it's an old-hat, not any more downloads to my graphics-folder.<br /> Thank you FreewareFan, for being merciful.
