It supports multiple screens, displays and monitors with convenient individual controls to adjust each one.

    Special notes about this version:

    Beta 9 marks the end of the beta testing milestone.
    The app now works consistently well in over 95% of all reported cases, there are still issues especially with wrong screen boundaries and other annoyances that will be addressed in future versions.
    The next version will be a final v2.0.0 (no beta) and will have a new UI I've been working on for a while (creatively named as NelUI).
    Thanks to everybody that have submitted debug logs and information (sorry, couldn't respond to all), also a very special to those that who donated or contributed with items from my Amazon wish list, it makes all the difference, thank you all.

FRSFileList is a handy app for locating, sorting (by size and age) and deleting files.

When you first launch FRSFileList, it will be set to locate and display the five largest files as a starting point. From there you can then begin specifying how you want scans performed, for instance, smallest, oldest and even the newest files can be located and displayed including file attribute selection from visible; visible/hidden; visible/system; visible, hidden/system - it is all in your control. Additionally, you can filter files by format, and specify the number of items to locate which can range from 5 to 75.

Any of the results returned will display the full path of the file including the size, date and time, and age. You can also right-click a specific file which will open a menu allowing further exploration through your default file browser, or open the target file. From the same menu, you can also remove files from the hard disk, as well as copy a file and export the results of the scan.

Freeware

Changelog

Changed:

Renamed the menu command "FRSFileList | History" to "FRSFileList | Version History", to launch the new Version History PDF file that documents all the changes made to FRSFileList over the years.

Balabolka is a feature-rich program to read text aloud from a variety of file types including DOC, RTF, PDF, ODT, FB2 and HTML. The program uses Microsoft's own Speech API 4 and 5, but lets you fine tune various voice parameters, including rate and pitch, and a substitution list can also be applied to improve the quality of the voice's articulation. The program supports customized font and background color, skins, control reading from the system tray or by the global hotkeys.

Balabolka can also save the synchronized text to external LRC files or in MP3 tags inside the audio files. When the audio file is played with players on a computer or on modern digital audio players, the text will be displayed synchronously (in the same way as lyrics for songs).

Also includes batch conversion tools from of a wide variety of document formats to audio or plain text and a file compare tool, file splitter, and screen magnification window.

Whats new:>>

• Added settings for table extracting for DOCX/FB2/FB3 files (the window "Text Import Settings", the tab "Text Extracting").
• Updated the text extracting for DOCX/FB2/FB3/HTML/ODT files.

Changelog

- BREAKING CHANGE: Updated sp.ConsumePhysicalInput to accept a optional second parameter named

- The timeout parameter can be any number of seconds, or 0 (zero) for infinite, which is how it
  previously behaved
- Standard Windows 10 configurations and via standard methods of running S+ should also re-enable
  input if you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Lock your Windows session, then unlock
- Tweaks to loading form
- Updated language entry:
   ScriptHelp.ActionMethod.ConsumePhysicalInput.Example.Simple
- Added language entries:

Duplicate Files Search & Link (Duplicate Searcher) is an application for searching duplicate files (clones) and NTFS hard links as well symbolic links to the same file. It searches duplicate file contents regardless of file name (byte-by-byte comparison is used). This application allows not only to delete duplicate files or to move them to another location, but to replace duplicates with NTFS hard links or symbolic links as well (unique!).

This application was developed because I haven’t find any similar application which allows to operate NTFS-links.

Free for non-commercial use.

Changelog

    Fixed the issue with the interface "freezing" for a long time by starting the operation of deleting a large amount of files.
    Fixed incorrect search in DuplicateSearcherCore.exe (for .NET 5) due to the incorrect implementation of some functions in .NET 5.
    Implemented uniform file sorting order in versions DuplicateSearcher.exe (for .NET 4.7.2+) and DuplicateSearcherCore.exe (for .NET 5).
