Logitech uberOptions

Post by *ZoSTeR »

For everone using a Logitech mouse with the Setpoint software i highly recommend uberOptions.

I allows you to configure mouse buttons on a per application basis and a lot more.
For example I use the side buttons of my MX518 to switch between tc tabs and [+] to go back to the parent folder.

ANd it looks like shit, like any other ms site.



About ndff
This is very intersting tool, yet very limited at current stage as it can not search within given directory structure but only entire disc. I recon that it will be extremely useful in combination with Locate as database update can be number of time faster using this technique. Anyway, clearly better solution would be to monitor changes real time. Locate is open source db is open so integrating with TC as a file system plugin is achievable without too much effort.

well searching in a directory structure can easy be achieved by piping the output of ndff into a grep command, which filters for that certain directory structure.
The speed is fast anyway, so it doesn't matter if you search the whole disk or only a dir structure

But this isn't very comfortable, and the author could implement it as an output filter, which wouldn't be too difficult, i guess...

that's why i sent him the email, that i posted earlier in this thread...

i don't think so. If you have to search just one large directory, like system32 for instance (forget for quick search for a moment) it will be number of times slower then TCs search.

Of course he can filter himself, he already have Regular Expressions integrated.

About your comfortable problems, you can always create the script that wrapps this for you.

ok, i agree. but in this case, as you said, one would probably use quicksearch

of course. but i don't want to write a script every time i'm using it on a different computer...

yes, there is regexp. but as i understand it, the regexp expression is only compared against the filenames, not their path

not if the search should include sub dirs.

Want to send a 1 GB email attachment?
Your email client telling you to fark off?
Help is at hand with PANDO: http://www.pando.com/

Files sent - You select files and/or folders, enter recipient(s) email address(es) and click "send". A copy of the files immediately starts uploading to Pando's secure servers where they are stored for 14 days.

Email received - At the same time, an email containing a small (~10K) .pando attachment is sent to your recipient(s). The .pando attachment contains data about the location of your files.

Files delivered - Recipient(s) open the .pando file to start a direct p2p transfer from your machine, Pando's servers and other recipients. All transfers are encrypted end-to-end.


Clever idea! 8)

Hmm, just as clever any instant messenger is, with file transfer... and I wonder what executable gets through my email as an attachment...
I switched to Linux, bye and thanks for all the fish!

2SanskritFritz:

Well, non-enterprise subscriber inboxes over here tend to be capped at 5-10 MB by our ISP's mail servers so I reckon there is a case for a simple way to attach very large files without getting nasty warning emails in return. (Not to mention clogging up the inbox when you get several emails with 2-3 MB attachments). Pando deals with that issue quite effectively, IMHO.

A 16 MB file transfer thru MS Messsenger was rejected last time I tried. Large files might be ok using ICQ or other IM clients but as I haven't used them, I simply don't know what their limits are. I'd be interested to know if you were successful.

What I found quite cunning was the use of what is effectively a private encrypted bit torrent network to perform the file transfer, meaning that the more people (peers) the email is sent to, the more effective and faster the transfer proceeds. There are of course always 2 seeds, the original sender and the Pando server. I saw speeds ranging from 180-250 kBytes/sec when I downloaded a test 8 MB file - much faster than when using Outlook.

As to security I think we all have to trust that the clients we use are not themselves open to malware. I suspect that Pando must be keenly aware that if they get a reputation for security problems then they might as well pack up their business and go home. Perhaps it's why there's end-to-end high-strength encryption built into their model. The .pando attachment will itself be scanned by anti-virus programs in the usual way and the completed transfer can be sent to your AV program if you choose to under Options.

So far so good then. It's still beta and I sure hope they find another way of raising revenue other than those cheesy, flashing banner ads.
