  Palm (or Windows/MP3 player) Random MP3 Loader  
Description: PowerUsers.info is happy to announce the availability of a 1.0 version of the new Palm Random MP3 Loader. For all of you Palm (or Windows) PDA users who wish you had an easy way to choose and load MP3s to your MP3-capable PDAs this may be your answer. I found that after the first time of searching manually through a few thousand MP3s for the 35-40 I wanted and could fit on my 256 MB SD card, I avoided the exercise again, even when I was growing quite tired of the songs I had installed. And because of the hassle involved I kept putting off erasing the ones I had and putting new ones in place. So this app was born out of my desire to make this task easier for myself. If you have an MP3-playing Palm or any other MP3 player or PDA that uses an SD (or other) media card that can be accessed with a card reader, try the app out.

Description: KillTask 3 is the latest version of KillTask. It removes the "extreme" option from KillTask 2, and adds a new "-quiet" parameter for times (like in scheduled BAT files) where you do not want the program to alert you with a dialog box if the task you requested to kill was unable to be killed (or was found to not be running at the time).

  DateSet  
Description: DateSet is a utility for retrieving the system date or time and using it from within your DOS shell or a BAT file. This is great for things like renaming log files with the current date or time, or for creating datestamp files to indicate that a process has run successfully. Easy to use, you just install the EXE, then call it and the BAT file it creates to set the environment variables for later use anywhere in your script or at the command-line. Easy docs are in the readme.txt file.

  Count  
Description: Count is a utility to help you perform math functions within a BAT script. If you've ever lamented the fact that DOS BAT files can't perform the simplest math operations such as incrementing a value each time through a procedure Count is for you! Count can perform all standard math functions - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Count can work with integers (whole numbers like "4" or "-9") or can work with floating point numbers (numbers containing a decimal place like "4.32" or "123.65").

  PC DiskMaster  
Description: For those of you familiar with the Commodore Amiga line of personal computers you may remember an excellent utility called DiskMaster. This was one of the original "Swiss Army Knife" utilities, in that it could do file and directory management, as well as play sound effects, and view images. It also used a dual-window pane approach that is still almost unequaled in terms of speed and efficiency. I always wanted a program like this for the PC, but haven't seen any that are as easy to use or as fast for daily chores, so I wrote one! I have designed my PC DiskMaster to have many of the same features as the original DiskMaster on the Amiga, but for the PC. The program can perform directory and file maintenance (create dirs, delete, copy, move, rename dir/files) as well as format floppies, play WAV, MID, RMI and AVI files, and view BMP, GIF and JPG images! The dual-paned windows give you fast and easy access, unlike some windowing environments that force you to do file maintenance in multiple overlapping windows. Multiple files may be selected for many tasks including renames and protection settings. Several features make PC DiskMaster even faster and more efficient:

• "Send Path To" buttons on the inside of each windowpane allows you to easily send the current path for a pane to the other side since many management chores take place at or near the same path.
  


• High-speed dual-paned user interface speeds file and directory management chores. Shortcuts and alternative ways of performing tasks means PC DiskMaster is geared to allow you to work in the way that suits you best. For example image/sound files can be loaded by single-clicking the image/sound and clicking the PlaySnd button, by double-clicking the sound/image file (or any other type for that matter), or by scrolling up and down a listing with the cursor keys and pressing Enter. Once viewing an image you can exit with a mouse click or by pressing ESC.
  


• Cumulative wildcards allow you to flag multiple wildcards in the same selection for a single operation. (imagine a directory of 1,000 images, with BMP, GIF, JPG, EXE, TXT, etc scattered in it - with this feature you could do cumulative wildcards of *.BMP, *.GIF and *.JPG and either move or copy (or delete) just the files you want in one operation!)



• Inverse wildcards allow you to select everything *but* the wildcard you specify! This is an incredibly useful feature I've never seen anywhere else, but I've always wanted since the days of DOS (except DOS itself didn't even have this ability!). This allows you to enter a single wildcard and immediately select everything *except* those that match the wildcard you specify. Take the image directory example above. Maybe you want to keep the BMP (or even BMPs that start with SE (SE*.BMP)) files in the directory, but move (or delete) all the rest of the files from that directory. How could you do that quickly without inverse wildcards? Answer: You can't! With PC DiskMaster's unique inverse wildcard feature enter an inverse wildcard of *.BMP and instantly everything but the *.BMP files is selected and ready for operation.
  


• Natively handles MID, RMI, AVI, WAV, BMP, GIF and JPG file formats. Slideshow of image files with user-specified time-delay.
  


• Launches all other registered file types with associated executable meaning all your favorite utilities can be accessed by double-clicking on their type of file.



• Forced Text Viewing command button for non-registered file types allows you to immediately view a file as text if you know it contains text. For example a .CFG file or a proprietary application extension that is not normally associated as a text file. You can even view binary files this way to extract useful information.



• Total Resize Ability allows you to change PC DiskMaster to suit your screen size and resolution. It will adapt itself on startup so that it is appropriately sized for your resolution, and then you can tweak it up or down as you like.



• Intelligent Design means effort-savings abound in all areas of the program.



• Honor ReadOnly setting that allows power-users to ignore read-only protection, getting rid of the infamous "Are you really sure you want to delete this file?" or leave it enabled and protect those files without slowing the operation in progress. If you attempt to delete files, some of which are marked ReadOnly and some of which are not and have Honor ReadOnly enabled, the files not protected will all be deleted and only at the end of the procedure will you be alerted that some of the files you selected were protected and thus were not deleted.
  


• Registry-based saving of all program preferences including settings for what filetypes will be visible in PC DiskMaster, whether Honor ReadOnly is enabled, whether deletes will go to the Recycle Bin or be wiped immediately from the drive, and foreground (text) and background color choices.

  FTPBatch  
Description: FTPBatch is a command-line utility that will allow you, from within BAT files to automatically transfer files to or from a remote server via FTP. This can be very handy for people who have regular transfers (say nightly or weekly) that need to take place in an automated fashion. The appropriate commands can be put into a BAT or CMD file and scheduled to run on a regular basis with the 'at' command or Scheduled Tasks item in the Accesories/System Tools Start menu.

  Defrag By Size  
Description: This utility uses a program called contig.exe that is part of the SysInternals tools.

That program can be obtained at Microsoft's site here:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

(look under File and Disk Utilities)

Contig defrags individual files, and can be used to defrag a subdirectory or an
entire drive (if invoked at the root - ex contig -s c:\).

What DefragBySize does is to do an initial find from the path given (ex C:\) and then sort all
the files by largest to smallest. Then it invokes contig in the background to do the individual
defrags. In theory this will work better than simply invoking contig with its subdirectory argument
because larger files will be able to take advantage of the larger contiguous spaces first. Whereas
if smaller files are done first they may create redundant work (as contig has to move
previously-defragmented smaller files to make room for larger ones) or make defragging larger files
impossible.

--------
Usage:
--------

Save DefragBySize.exe to your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (or WINNT if that's your Windows directory)

DefragBySize x:\[path]

where 'x:' is a valid drive letter, and path is an optional argument (in the event you'd like to only
defrag a portion of your directory structure).

------------
Examples:
------------

Defrag your whole C: drive:

DefragBySize c:\

Defrag your MP3 collection (assuming it's stored at C:\MP3):

DefragBySize c:\mp3
