Thanks. I also think about other way round:
Text editor with feature to search multiple files and ability to run it in search mode from command line.

Can anybody help me find Zoom utility like the one integrated into Windows just more functional. I am acctualy searching for something that comes with some Microsoft mices, called InteliExplorer.

Other thing that comes to my mind is Syinternals ZoomIt, except it presents static image. I want the same as ZoomIt but to be able to work normaly inside rectangle that is zoomed.

Thx

2 Xyzzy

Thank you, but that is not what I need.

This comes as driver functionality for MS INtelliMouse. THis is how it looks like:

Notice that when he zoomed the spreedsheet he could edit the zoomed field.

That would be awesome to have such a utility! But I want to reduce the size of windows, still being able to work with them.

Majki, do you have time? Here is a good start: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11700

LOL

The time is what I never have

Especially now, where it appears that we will soon start to work on DM3.

But that is great script. I will check it out

You can always buy the mouse anyway

Hej ZoSTeR, this is just what I needed.

Thank you very much. Great tool.

If so, don't forget to check the TC Wiki page for DM2 suggestions.
I've recently added a new idea about disabling the close button of windows with a link to code example.

This is also realized in this script, very useful:

OOOoooh, I'd love to see that. DM2 has a couple of features missing that keeps me from using it regularly, so this sounds very intriguing

Ah, at last - DM3! I was beginning to collect the wood, hammer and nails ready to crucify you for the delay.

Just kidding, of course. Your TCFavMenu was a heroic effort which works perfectly with Office dialogs too. Thanks again!

That's great when you know in advance which windows are likely to be important. I wonder how difficult it would be to restore ANY window that was accidently closed? That would be really useful and I would be happy just to be able to recover only the last window removed. One of the things I like so much about Opera is that a simple CTRL-Z sequentially brings back the tabs I deleted. That's a function I find priceless.

Thanks for the link, should be useful while waiting for a new DM2/3 version.

SQUIRE wrote:That's great when you know in advance which windows are likely to be important.

Well, the fact is that I was making tests with the TC WFX plugin interface, and I kept closing the WFX help file constantly. So I really knew the window that was important for me in that case.

Anyway, it would also be useful to restore an accidentally closed application, but I think it wouldn't be enough in some cases (like a program copying files).

2majkinetor !
Is DM3 going to be written from scratch? Well, the actual question is if the plugin interface will be C or C++ (like DM2).
The C++ interface is the only thing that keeps me from writing DM2 plugins.
