TWO FREE “MUST-HAVE” TOOLS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT

My two big improvements for Vista (or XP too):

- A virtual desktop: Virtual dimension (the best from many years).

http://virt-dimension.sourceforge.net/

- And CLCL, a multicopy capture utility.

QTTABBAR

On this pic, you see my Virtual Desktop Bar with 5 desks. I choose the bar look easiest to include on the desk than a widest panel. Each app is movable from desk to desk. Each of these desks has its own wallpaper.You can have a look on the app icon for a bubble text of the file in use, or (on screen capture)the list of apps available. CLick on the icon apps to go on…

You see the Explorer with th QTTabbar plugin. So you can open many folders and make files copy from one to others by Drag’n drop. For specifics Jobs, open folders can be save with a shorcut and recal by Star icon on the Toolbar. Near it you have a Windows icon for Programs (with categories) or files shortcut you wish to organize for quick access… And,nice for finger click, on a Tablet PC, i recovered Copy, Paste and others similars icons (like in XP)… It’s a QTTabar plugin !

CLCL

On this second screen, you see the windows of the CLCL capture tool with thumbnails of pics captured and pieces of text. Each capture action is memorized here and a shortcut – Alt+V for me – recall this windows and you choose what you want to drop in any app (Word,Photoshop,Live Writer…). My setting is for 30 items to be shown. The light yellow space show you the whole text when you move the mouse on a text item. More : you can make a “many files” selection in a folder which is memorized like a single group to copy… Look at the Template icon ! Here you can store your favorites expressions and photos or logos. It’a DAT file (backup option). This app is a really must-have for journalists, writers, teachers, students…

For Vista only, select to put CLCL folder outside Program Files. It fails to install inside…
