For those who are heavy users of consoles/terminals such as cygwin/bash, PyCmd/Console2...I just discovered this great project: https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5

I have been using Console2 for years, its great, but conemu has so much more features, AND is its in very active development (unlike console2). I have switched already.

Thanks for the pointer. Google led me to an interesting review of ConEmu-Maximus5 vs Take Command (a paid product; I'm not affiliated with its vendor) http://jpsoft.com/blogs/2012/04/windows-console-replacements-part-6-take-command-and-conemu/

The reviews made by jpsoft are not really fair but give you some hint on what is a command shell replacement. Take Command is a fantastic tool and also a complete shell/script environment...
ConEmu is a console replacement and also a tabed gui manager, the graphical part of TakeCommand.

ConEmu even if it is not 100% stable works OK for tests i did. I can have total commander inside a panel, powershell console, tcc/le console .... And as said by jmwap it it the best free candidate for now to replace Console².

of course, a comparison by the vendor is to be taken with a grain of salt. That review is about 4 months old, and at least one of the checks that Take Command has in that comparison and conemu does not (Customize menu accelerator keys) conemu has already. ¨
Even more important for me, the developer of conemu is super active, and very friendly, he replies to bug reports and improvement right away, and I am pretty sure conemu has features that take command does not (just look at the configuration window...

For me it replaced console2 after a couple of days of testing.

cheers

I hope someone who updates the wiki from time to time reads this

While I was looking for a Tool to replace the ClockApp that I run on my WindowsXP-Laptop for my
Windows 10 System, I checked some of the Urls from the Wiki WebPage
Useful 3rd party tools to complement TC

- Bitcollider
[*]The url https://bitzi.com/bitcollider/ has changed to https://bitcollider.sourceforge.net/

- Jens editor
The url http://home.arcor.de/jensaltmann/JFE/jfe_eng.htm is dead, files can be found at http://plit.de/asem-51/jens/jfe.htm
Status should be set to Discontinued!

- ModPlug Player
The url https://www.modplug.com/playerinfo.html has changed to http://openmpt.org/legacy_software
and the Status should be set to Discontinued! as it was replaced by OpenMPT (https://openmpt.org)

- Nero InfoTools
Discontinued! and I couldnt find a replacement (then again who is still using cdroms these days )

- LClock
after 9 years I would change "Seems to be discontinued!" to Discontinued!

- NotepadEx
I thought the same as LCLock especially with the url http://notepadex.cjb.net/ dead, but then I found https://github.com/Air16/NotepadEx
and the last release to be from 2022 so change the url?

- Opera Search.ini Editor
The url is dead and gone => Discontinued!

- PowerToys
The Url http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx just brings a page with

Code: Select all

Thank you for your patience
We are currently experiencing high demand. Please wait and try again later.

The new urls seems to be https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

- TClock Light
The url http://homepage1.nifty.com/kazubon/tclocklight/ is gone so I guess Discontinued! for TClock Light,
but I found "TClock Light kt" which is a "continued" version of TClock Light (last release is from sept 2018)
at https://github.com/k-takata/TClockLight (which comes in 32 and 64bit so that is the tool that replaces my old one,
nevertheless that sadly - apart from the english language file - every readme in it is in japanese :-/)

- Ultra TC Editors
It should be noted as Discontinued! because Taher Salem passed away and a link should a added to the
Ultra TC Editors-Thread (viewtopic.php?t=4914&start=660) where petermad always
posts the new Data Files (*.cedf) so that Ultra TC Editors work with new TC Versions.

- TClockEx
The url is dead http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/tclockex/ => discontinued!
(this was my old clock tool )

- Win32Pad
The page is still there but nothing changed in the last 13 years since 2010 so it should (sadly) be set to Discontinued!

- Xnews
The url http://xnews.newsguy.com/ has some magazine at that adress now and the wikipedia Xnews entry states:
"The author never officially announced the stopping of his work on the program, but its website went offline
around late 2014 or early 2015, and by that time the latest official version was around five years old."
So status should be set to Discontinued!

HTH you guys who maintain the Wiki!
Thanks for your work!

I also use(d) TClockEx on XP and earlier. On Windows 7 and later I use TClock Redux to replace it. It can be configured to behave very similarly.

I tried that one, but first it screamed for the msvcr100.dll (I hate such bad programs that start by screaming for a missing dll)
and after supplying it with that dll it never correctly worked (startup takes ages dunno why if it even starts and not just hangs in the taskmanager)
here for me neither on my windows 10 nor on a vm windows 11.
On the the contrary TClockLight-tk starts instantly and also makes my clock look like TClockEx again.
So the only things I kept from TClock Redux are the very nice font and the sounds.

@white:
yes, sir Ill do that then in the next few days. (I forgot that "Your forum account also works on the wiki" )

[petermad]

There is the uCalendar http://uc.maximus.in.ua/ which started out as a TC plugin, but later became a standalone exe.

2Sir_SiLvA
Thanks for the reference to TClockLight-tk. I didn't know about. It is a nice little addition.

[Sir_SiLvA]

@petermad: Thanks but that is waaaay to big (in file size) TClockLight-tk it is

@jinsight: you are welcome

@white: done as you wished. hope I didnt left any typos

[Sir_SiLvA]

No, I didnt Sorry for that.

Edith:
Yeah no I have to take that back I didnt look at the forum links at all as links like
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=66641#66641 work perfectly fine
If you want them all formated like
https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=<Number>#p<Number>
that is your tick then

[white]

http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=66641#66641 work perfectly fine

It links to the correct page, but doesn't scroll to the post because the id "66641" doesn't exist. It needs the "p". Are you saying this is not the case for you?
