Auto Aero Colors (AAClr)

Windows 8 has a new feature where the Aero colors can be automatically adjusted according to the selected wallpaper.

This seems to be a nice feature, and there's even a tool available that offers that feature for Windows 7: Aura.

But there are some things about Aura that bother me, so I hacked together my own tool which offers that feature.

Unlike Aura, AAClr is written in plain C++ and doesn't use the .NET Framework. For tools that are supposed to be started automatically on logon, this ensures that the whole startup time doesn't increase by several seconds.

AAClr also detects changes in wallpapers by catching events from the system and doesn't use timers that access the wallpaper file several times a second (like Aura does). That means that AAClr is idle most of the time and only wakes up when necessary.

And about resource usage: AAClr uses less than 2MB of private bytes - I think that's not too much.

I've put the AAClr source code into the StExBar repository since it's too small to justify creating its own project for it. You can browse the source code here.

A compiled executable can be found on the download page.

Useful open source tools that make your life easier

Translate the User Interface

BowPad can show the UI in various languages, but if your language of choice is not available, you can help creating it.

1. Get the required file

To translate the UI of BowPad into a specific language, you first need the file with all the strings you have to translate.

The file is stored in our source repository, you can get it from there: https://github.com/stefankueng/BowPad/blob/main/Languages/BowPad.pot.
This is the file for the development version, so if you use this to start your translation, you will have all the required strings in there.

If you're starting with your translation, then you first have to rename this file to BowPad_XX.po with XX being the ISO-639-1 language code.

2. Start translating

You could translate the strings with a simple text editor (e.g., BowPad), but I recommend a special po-file editor. For example:

Now open the po-file in your tool of choice and start translating the strings.

Careful with special chars

If you encounter special strings or chars in the original English string, make sure you copy that part without changing it. For example tokens like %ld are used to format the output. Make sure you keep those as is, otherwise you will make BowPad crash when it uses your translated string!

3. Test the translation

If you want to test the translation, you can use a tool like Resource Hacker with the *.lang file. *.lang files are resource dlls.

If you can't test your translation, you can skip to step 4.

4. Send the translated file

When you finished translating all the strings, create a new issue in our issue tracker and attach the file to it.

CommitMonitor

CommitMonitor is a small tool to monitor Apache Subversion® repositories for new commits. It has a very small memory footprint and resides in the system tray.

Main Dialog

In case you have multiple repositories under an SVNParentPath with the SVNListParentPath directive activated in Apache, CommitMonitor can monitor these URLs too, as you can see in the screenshot above: the "Private Projects" is shown as a folder, which means this is an URL to an SVNParentPath URL.

The new commits are shown on the top right of the main dialog, while the commit log message is shown at the bottom right.

A double click on any revision in the top right view will fetch the diff for that revision as a unified diff so you can further inspect the commit. If you have TortoiseSVN installed, CommitMonitor automatically uses TortoiseSVN to do the diff.

TortoiseSVN Project Monitor

Note that TortoiseSVN 1.9 and later has a project monitor included, which has similar features as the CommitMonitor.

A good description on the TortoiseSVN project monitor can be found in the docs.

Of course, you can configure the time interval CommitMonitor should check your repositories for new commits:

EditURL

Just make sure in case you want to monitor a public open source repository to set the check interval not too small - you don't want to hammer those repositories!

You can also put an svnrobots.txt file on your repository server to set a minimum time interval. See the svnrobots documentation for more details about this.

Once CommitMonitor has found new commits to one or more of the repositories you monitor, it shows a notification popup, and the system tray icon changes the "eyes" from black to red. And if you have the system tray animation enabled in the Options dialog, the eyes will also move around until you open CommitMonitor's main dialog (by doubleclicking on the system tray icon) and read the commits.

Notification

If you have Snarl installed, CommitMonitor automatically uses Snarl to show its popups:

Snarl popup

CommitMonitor also registers itself with Snarl which will allow you to configure the popups in more detail:

Snarl config

As already mentioned, CommitMonitor resides in your system tray (if so required). Tools which do that should use as less resources as possible, and that's what CommitMonitor tries to do. As you can see in the screenshot below, when the program is idle (i.e., not currently connecting to a repository and downloading information) it only uses about 1MB of RAM. Of course, it uses more (about 15MB RAM) while it accesses the repositories.

Memory Footprint

CommitMonitor is available under the GNU GPL v2.
You can either download an msi installer or a zipped exe file, whatever suits you: Download page
Of course, the source code is available too. You can browse or check it out directly from the Subversion repository.

Windows XP not supported

CommitMonitor requires Windows Vista or later. It won't work on Windows XP!

Stefans Tools

Useful open source tools that make your life easier

CryptSync

CryptSync is a small utility that synchronizes two folders while encrypting the contents in one folder. That means one of the two folders has all files unencrypted (the files you work with) and the other folder has all the files encrypted.

The synchronization works both ways: a change in one folder gets synchronized to the other folder. If a file is added or modified in the unencrypted folder, it gets encrypted. If a file is added or modified in the encrypted folder, it gets decrypted to the other folder.

CryptSync overview

This is best used together with cloud storage tools like OneDrive, DropBox or Google Drive.

If you want to use such cloud storage for backups, it's a good idea to keep your private data really private. That means only uploading encrypted files to make sure no one else can access your data. Because even if the companies behind the cloud storage guarantee your privacy, it's always possible that your account gets hacked: so make sure you use a different password to encrypt the data with CryptSync than you use to login to your cloud storage provider!

If you want to backup and encrypt your files to more than one cloud storage (just to be safe), you can do that as well: just set up two sync pairs with the original folder being the same for both pairs.

Of course, you can use CryptSync for backups to an external drive as well. You can even use CryptSync from the command line to trigger your encrypted backups.

CryptSync works by synchronizing folder pairs. One folder is called the original folder: that's where your unencrypted files are stored and where you work with your files. The second folder of such a pair is the encrypted folder which is where the files get copied from the original folder and encrypted. The encrypted folder is usually located somewhere inside your cloud storage sync folder.

The encryption is done using the LZMA SDK, which also compress them at the same time. That means you not only get encryption but also compression for free, which reduces the storage space you use in the cloud or the backup space on your external harddrive.

That also means that if you ever need to access your encrypted files directly from the cloud, you can save them locally and just open them with 7-Zip or any other compression tool. Of course you will then be asked to provide the password you used with CryptSync to open that file.

Optionally the encryption can be done using GnuPG. Please note that when using this option, the encrypted files can be larger than the original files and use up more space on your cloud drive.

When you first start CryptSync, the main dialog is shown where you have to set up the folders to synchronize.

Main dialog

To add a folder pair, click on the button and then enter the paths to both folders. Then enter the password that will be used to encrypt and decrypt your files.

Add Pair dialog

Since even filenames can reveal private information, you can have CryptSync also encrypt the filenames. But remember that if you activate this option, you won't be able to tell what file is what if you ever need to access them from your cloud storage providers web interface. Names of subfolders are encrypted as well.

Long paths

When encrypting the file and folder names without the new filename encryptions, you have to make sure that the original file and folder names are not longer than about 120 characters. Because encrypting those names approximately doubles their length, and Windows has a limit of 255 chars per file or folder name.

The main dialog has three buttons to dismiss it:

Run in background
This is the default. CryptSync will run in the background and monitor all the folder pairs for changes. Once it detects a change, it will automatically synchronize that change immediately. This is also the only way to detect deletions of files.
Sync files and exit
This will synchronize all folder pairs while showing you the progress of the synchronization. Once all folders are synchronized and up to date, CryptSync will exit and not run in the background.
Exit
Closes the dialog and quits CryptSync. It will not keep running in the background.

Command Line Options

CryptSync can also be used from the command line. The following options are available:

/help
shows a dialog with the command line options
/src:"path"
specifies the path to the source folder where the unencrypted files are located. This parameter is not optional!
/dst:"path"
specifies the path to the destination folder where the encrypted files are located. This parameter is not optional!
/pw:"password"
specifies the password used for the encryption
/cpy:"pattern"
file pattern of files that are copied only, not encrypted
/nsy:"pattern"
file pattern of files that are not synched at all
/encnamesNew
if specified, the file and foldernames are also encrypted using the new algorithm in the destination folder
/encnames
if specified, the file and foldernames are also encrypted in the destination folder. This uses an old algorithm for encrypting the filenames which can lead to exceeding the path length limit of Windows. You should use /encnamesNew instead
/encnamesNew
if specified, the file and foldernames are also encrypted in the destination folder with the new filename encryption
/mirror
if specified, the source folder is synched to the destination folder but changes in the destination folder are not synchronized back to the source folder
/mirrorback
if specified, the destination folder is synched back to the source folder, but changes in the source folder are not synchronized to the destination folder.
/decryptonly
like /mirrorback, but does not synchronize deletions.
/use7z

CryptSync

CryptSync is a small utility that synchronizes two folders while encrypting the contents in one folder. That means one of the two folders has all files unencrypted (the files you work with) and the other folder has all the files encrypted.

The synchronization works both ways: a change in one folder gets synchronized to the other folder. If a file is added or modified in the unencrypted folder, it gets encrypted. If a file is added or modified in the encrypted folder, it gets decrypted to the other folder.

CryptSync overview

This is best used together with cloud storage tools like OneDrive, DropBox or Google Drive.

If you want to use such cloud storage for backups, it's a good idea to keep your private data really private. That means only uploading encrypted files to make sure no one else can access your data. Because even if the companies behind the cloud storage guarantee your privacy, it's always possible that your account gets hacked: so make sure you use a different password to encrypt the data with CryptSync than you use to login to your cloud storage provider!

If you want to backup and encrypt your files to more than one cloud storage (just to be safe), you can do that as well: just set up two sync pairs with the original folder being the same for both pairs.

Of course, you can use CryptSync for backups to an external drive as well. You can even use CryptSync from the command line to trigger your encrypted backups.

CryptSync works by synchronizing folder pairs. One folder is called the original folder: that's where your unencrypted files are stored and where you work with your files. The second folder of such a pair is the encrypted folder which is where the files get copied from the original folder and encrypted. The encrypted folder is usually located somewhere inside your cloud storage sync folder.

The encryption is done using the LZMA SDK, which also compress them at the same time. That means you not only get encryption but also compression for free, which reduces the storage space you use in the cloud or the backup space on your external harddrive.

That also means that if you ever need to access your encrypted files directly from the cloud, you can save them locally and just open them with 7-Zip or any other compression tool. Of course you will then be asked to provide the password you used with CryptSync to open that file.

Optionally the encryption can be done using GnuPG. Please note that when using this option, the encrypted files can be larger than the original files and use up more space on your cloud drive.

When you first start CryptSync, the main dialog is shown where you have to set up the folders to synchronize.

Main dialog

To add a folder pair, click on the button and then enter the paths to both folders. Then enter the password that will be used to encrypt and decrypt your files.

Add Pair dialog

Since even filenames can reveal private information, you can have CryptSync also encrypt the filenames. But remember that if you activate this option, you won't be able to tell what file is what if you ever need to access them from your cloud storage providers web interface. Names of subfolders are encrypted as well.

Long paths

When encrypting the file and folder names without the new filename encryptions, you have to make sure that the original file and folder names are not longer than about 120 characters. Because encrypting those names approximately doubles their length, and Windows has a limit of 255 chars per file or folder name.

The main dialog has three buttons to dismiss it:

Run in background
This is the default. CryptSync will run in the background and monitor all the folder pairs for changes. Once it detects a change, it will automatically synchronize that change immediately. This is also the only way to detect deletions of files.
Sync files and exit
This will synchronize all folder pairs while showing you the progress of the synchronization. Once all folders are synchronized and up to date, CryptSync will exit and not run in the background.
Exit
Closes the dialog and quits CryptSync. It will not keep running in the background.

Command Line Options

CryptSync can also be used from the command line. The following options are available:

/help
shows a dialog with the command line options
/src:"path"
specifies the path to the source folder where the unencrypted files are located. This parameter is not optional!
/dst:"path"
specifies the path to the destination folder where the encrypted files are located. This parameter is not optional!
/pw:"password"
specifies the password used for the encryption
/cpy:"pattern"
file pattern of files that are copied only, not encrypted
/nsy:"pattern"
file pattern of files that are not synched at all
/encnamesNew
if specified, the file and foldernames are also encrypted using the new algorithm in the destination folder
/encnames
if specified, the file and foldernames are also encrypted in the destination folder. This uses an old algorithm for encrypting the filenames which can lead to exceeding the path length limit of Windows. You should use /encnamesNew instead
/encnamesNew
if specified, the file and foldernames are also encrypted in the destination folder with the new filename encryption
/mirror
if specified, the source folder is synched to the destination folder but changes in the destination folder are not synchronized back to the source folder
/mirrorback
if specified, the destination folder is synched back to the source folder, but changes in the source folder are not synchronized to the destination folder.
/decryptonly
like /mirrorback, but does not synchronize deletions.
/use7z
use .7z extension instead of .cryptsync
/useGPG
uses GnuPG for the encryption. Note: you have to install GnuPG yourself.
/fat
use FAT write time accuracy (2seconds)
/ignore
Sets the ignore pattern
/ignore:"ignore|pattern"
specifies the ignore patterns to use. If not specified, the ignore pattern that has been set before is used.
/progress
if specified, a progress dialog is shown during the synchronization
/syncall
syncs all set up folder pairs, then exits
/logpath:"path"
specifies the path to the log file
/maxlog:nnn
specifies the maximum number of lines the log file will grow to
/tray
starts CryptSync in background, no dialog is shown
/ncp
encrypt only/don't compress pattern
/compresssize
turn off compression for files bigger than this size in MB
/nosyncdeleted
if specified, deletions are not synchronized. Only useful if also /mirror or /mirrorback is specified

DemoHelper Icon

A tool which helps in demonstrations, presentations or if you just need to explain someone something on your computer.

DemoHelper is an annotation and screen zoom tool you can use for technical presentations that include application demonstrations.

DemoHelper runs unobtrusively in the system tray and is activated by either customizable hotkeys or the context menu of the tray icon.

You can draw on the screen to mark special areas, or you can zoom in on an area on the screen.

Use cases include meetings where you have to explain something on the screen or teachers presenting lectures to students in computer classes.

Windows

DemoHelper requires Windows 8 or later.

Basic operation

DemoHelper runs in the system tray, where you can activate and configure it with a simple right-click:

DemoHelper Context Menu

In the options dialog, you can configure the hotkeys for the two main modes of operation: zooming and drawing.

DemoHelper Options

To start the drawing mode, either press the hotkey you configured for it, or double-click on the icon in the system tray. Once in drawing mode, you can draw on the screen:

DemoHelper Example

As shown in the screenshot above, it's possible to draw arrows and lines in different colors. Also a special "Marker" is available to highlight areas on the screen, as done above with the "file2.*" filenames.

The colors are merged together with the screen by default. But it's possible to draw with solid colors if needed.

If you activate the show mouseclicks and/or the show keystrokes, an overlay text is shown in the bottom left of the active monitor showing the mouse clicks and keystrokes. Only keystrokes are shown that are typed together with Ctrl, Shift, Alt and Win.

EvImSync

EvImSync is a small tool to synchronize Evernote notebooks with a Gmail account. Notes in Evernote are uploaded to your Gmail account as emails, and emails in Gmail are imported to Evernote notebooks as notes.

overview

EvImSync requires .NET Framework 4. You can get this via Windows update or directly from here.

Details: how it works

EvImSync uses the Evernote script engine ENScript.exe to import and export notes. These notes are parsed and then compared to emails in your Gmail account using the IMAP protocol. This requires that you have enabled IMAP in your Gmail settings:

Gmail-IMAP

You can sync one notebook with one folder in a Gmail account. EvImSync allows you to sync as many notebooks and Gmail folders as you like.

Limitations

Due to limitations both in the IMAP protocol, the Evernote scripting engine and the available documentation, the synchronization is not perfect. Some things simply can't be done by EvImSync.

Installation

EvImSync does not require installation. It can be run from any place. Just double-click on the file to run it.

By default, EvImSync stores its configuration in the %APPDATA% folder. However if you want to use EvImSync on an USB-stick, rename the exe file to EvImSyncPortable.exe: this will force EvImSync to store its configuration in the same directory as it was started from.

Configuration

EvImSync needs to know which Gmail folder it has to sync with which of your notebooks in Evernote. To do that, you have to enter this information in the configuration dialog. You can get to that dialog via the File->Configuration menu.

configuration

After you've set that information, click on the Set Pair button to store the Gmail/Notebook pair. You can configure as many pairs as you like.

Synching

If you've set up at least one sync pair, just click on the Start Sync button to start the synchronization. Depending on how many notes/emails you have, this might take a while though.

Report problems

In case you encounter a bug or some other problem, please file an issue in the issue tracker. If EvImSync has problems with the encoding of emails, please save the email as an eml and attach it to the issue. Otherwise filing the issue is useless since I won't be able to reproduce the problem and therefore won't be able to fix it.

Download

EvImSync is open source (GNU GPL v3). You can get the source code from the SourceForge project page.

Evernote2Onenote is a small tool to import Evernote notebooks to Onenote.

main dialog

Evernote2Onenote requires .NET Framework 4.8. You can get this via Windows update or directly from here.

Details: how it works

You can export your Evernote notebooks as an ENEX file. This file is then used by Evernote2Onenote to import those notebooks into Onenote.

Prerequisites

Evernote2Onenote requires that Onenote is installed.

Desktop version

The preinstalled versions of Onenote from the Windows App Store won't work. You need the desktop version of Onenote!

How to use

Start Evernote2Onenote, then select the the options you want for your import. Usually the default options are good enough. Then click the "Import ENEX file" button, select the exported notebook file from Evernote. After that the import starts and imports all the notes into Onenote.

Evernote tags

For Onenote that comes with Office:

Notes are imported to Onenote in a tab that has the same name as the tag the note has. If a note has multiple tags, that note is imported multiple times to Onenote, so you get duplicate notes!

To avoid duplicate notes, you should first remove duplicate tags from your notes in Evernote. The easiest way to do that is to create an empty new notebook, export your real notebook in enex format and uncheck tags from the export options. Then import that enex file into the new notebook. And then of course only import that new notebook into Onenote.

Installation

Evernote2Onenote does not require installation. It can be run from any place. Just double-click on the file to run it.

MailNoter

MailNoter is a small tool to help gathering notes from various applications, but specifically from browsers.

There are many tools and applications out there which help to keep a repository of personal notes, and even though some of them are very good at what they do, they all either use a proprietary format to store the notes (what would happen to my notes if the application isn't supported anymore and stops working on future OS versions?), only store notes as plain text, require non WYSIWYG input (e.g., Wikis), don't allow attachments, don't work if there's no network access, or are just plain ugly.

So I'm keeping my notes in my email account:
  • open storage format
  • available from different computers and OS
  • works offline
  • usable with any email client
  • usable through a web browser (no need to install anything if I'm at a place where I can't just install apps)
  • easily searchable (either through the web interface (did I mention I'm using Gmail?)), through desktop search engines or the email client itself
And with Gmail, I can add tags to my notes very easily, which makes searching them even easier.

So how does MailNoter help here? (Please don't complain about the name: I had to choose something that isn't used by some other application, and "MailNoter" returned exactly two hits in Google: both because of a typo).

Without MailNoter, if I want to create a note from a part of a website or code snipped in the IDE, I had to:
  1. create a new mail
  2. go back to the browser/IDE/whateverApplication
  3. select the part I want to keep as a note
  4. hit Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard
  5. go back to the new email I started
  6. paste the text in
  7. enter a meaningful subject for the email
  8. enter the "To:" address
  9. hit "Send"
with MailNoter however:
  1. select the text in the browser/IDE/whateverApplication
  2. hit the hotkey (e.g., Win+PrintScreen)
  3. hit "Send"
MailNoter, when the hotkey is pressed, automatically copies the selected text into a new email, fills in the "To:" address and also fills in the email subject automatically. No need to manually copy/paste, create new email, fill in the same stuff over and over again.

Another nice feature of MailNoter: selecting files in Explorer and hitting the hotkey will create a new email, with the selected files already added as an attachment. Image files are not added as an attachment though, they're added inline.

So, as I said: it's a small tool which doesn't do much. But it helps me with gathering my notes.

You can get it from the download page.

Setup

After downloading MailNoter, unzip the executable file. After a double-click, you will see a new icon in the system tray. A right-click on that icon shows a context menu:

Context menu

A click on the "options" entry brings up the configuration dialog:

Options dialog

Here you can set the hotkey, the "from" address (most email clients will ignore that, so you can leave that empty) and of course the "To:" address. You should enter here your own email address. Hint: some email providers allow you to add custom parts to your address, for example myemailaddress+notes@example.com. The part after the + is then ignored, but you can use that to set up a filter to automatically move mails arriving at that address to a "notes" folder in your email account.

You can also set here that MailNoter automatically starts when you log in to your workstation.

You can also modify the look of the "appendix" which is added automatically for html content, which by default is a one row table containing the source URL.

Email client

For MailNoter to work, you must have an email client installed which supports Simple MAPI. Most email clients support that, but you might have to set your email client as the "default" email client first.

Also, MAPI was created before HTML mails existed, so there is no way to tell an email client that it should use HTML mails. To avoid the email client use plain text instead of HTML mails, you have to configure your client to create HTML mails by default, not text mails. But that's the default for most email clients anyway.

Capture content

After you've set everything up and MailNoter is running, you can start capturing content. For example, go to a website with your preferred browser, select an interesting part of the page, hit the hotkey and see MailNoter open a new email for you with your default email client:

MailNoter

MailNoter is a small tool to help gathering notes from various applications, but specifically from browsers.

There are many tools and applications out there which help to keep a repository of personal notes, and even though some of them are very good at what they do, they all either use a proprietary format to store the notes (what would happen to my notes if the application isn't supported anymore and stops working on future OS versions?), only store notes as plain text, require non WYSIWYG input (e.g., Wikis), don't allow attachments, don't work if there's no network access, or are just plain ugly.

So I'm keeping my notes in my email account:
  • open storage format
  • available from different computers and OS
  • works offline
  • usable with any email client
  • usable through a web browser (no need to install anything if I'm at a place where I can't just install apps)
  • easily searchable (either through the web interface (did I mention I'm using Gmail?)), through desktop search engines or the email client itself
And with Gmail, I can add tags to my notes very easily, which makes searching them even easier.

So how does MailNoter help here? (Please don't complain about the name: I had to choose something that isn't used by some other application, and "MailNoter" returned exactly two hits in Google: both because of a typo).

Without MailNoter, if I want to create a note from a part of a website or code snipped in the IDE, I had to:
  1. create a new mail
  2. go back to the browser/IDE/whateverApplication
  3. select the part I want to keep as a note
  4. hit Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard
  5. go back to the new email I started
  6. paste the text in
  7. enter a meaningful subject for the email
  8. enter the "To:" address
  9. hit "Send"
with MailNoter however:
  1. select the text in the browser/IDE/whateverApplication
  2. hit the hotkey (e.g., Win+PrintScreen)
  3. hit "Send"
MailNoter, when the hotkey is pressed, automatically copies the selected text into a new email, fills in the "To:" address and also fills in the email subject automatically. No need to manually copy/paste, create new email, fill in the same stuff over and over again.

Another nice feature of MailNoter: selecting files in Explorer and hitting the hotkey will create a new email, with the selected files already added as an attachment. Image files are not added as an attachment though, they're added inline.

So, as I said: it's a small tool which doesn't do much. But it helps me with gathering my notes.

You can get it from the download page.

Setup

After downloading MailNoter, unzip the executable file. After a double-click, you will see a new icon in the system tray. A right-click on that icon shows a context menu:

Context menu

A click on the "options" entry brings up the configuration dialog:

Options dialog

Here you can set the hotkey, the "from" address (most email clients will ignore that, so you can leave that empty) and of course the "To:" address. You should enter here your own email address. Hint: some email providers allow you to add custom parts to your address, for example myemailaddress+notes@example.com. The part after the + is then ignored, but you can use that to set up a filter to automatically move mails arriving at that address to a "notes" folder in your email account.

You can also set here that MailNoter automatically starts when you log in to your workstation.

You can also modify the look of the "appendix" which is added automatically for html content, which by default is a one row table containing the source URL.

Email client

For MailNoter to work, you must have an email client installed which supports Simple MAPI. Most email clients support that, but you might have to set your email client as the "default" email client first.

Also, MAPI was created before HTML mails existed, so there is no way to tell an email client that it should use HTML mails. To avoid the email client use plain text instead of HTML mails, you have to configure your client to create HTML mails by default, not text mails. But that's the default for most email clients anyway.

Capture content

After you've set everything up and MailNoter is running, you can start capturing content. For example, go to a website with your preferred browser, select an interesting part of the page, hit the hotkey and see MailNoter open a new email for you with your default email client:

SendMessage

SendMessage is a little tool to send Windows messages to any window.

Ever wondered how you should test whether your application correctly responds to certain system messages like WM_ENDSESSION or WM_POWERBROADCAST? Of course you can test your application by actually triggering those messages, but especially the WM_ENDSESSION message and its purpose makes it impossible to attach a debugger to your application once Windows sends you that message.

With this tool, you can send that message and any other message you like to your application window. And you can do that while you have a debugger attached to your application!

End session

To find the window handle of your application, either drag the target icon in the upper left to your main window, or click on the "Windows" button and select the window from the list.

Find Window Dialog

There are a few window messages predefined in SendMessage. If you need to send a message that is not in the list, just enter the number of the message and any required values for WPARAM and LPARAM manually. The screenshot below shows how this would look like for the WM_SYSCOLORCHANGE message.

Main Dialog Custom Message

Once you've entered the message information, click on either the "SendMessage" or "PostMessage" button and the message is sent or posted to your window.

If you find any bugs or have suggestions for new features, please enter them in the issue tracker.

The latest version of SendMessage is available for download here.

Windows XP not supported

SendMessage requires Windows Vista or later. It won't work on Windows XP!

Command line usage

SendMessage can also be used from a command line:

/message:NNNN
specifies the window message to send or post as a decimal value
/wparam:NNNN
specifies the WPARAM
/lparam:NNNN
specifies the LPARAM
/post
optional: if specified, the message is sent using PostMessage. If it's not specified, the message is sent using SendMessage.
and at least one or more of these must be specified:
/windowhandle:NNNN
the window handle to send the message to as a decimal value
/windowtitle:TTTT
the message is sent to any window that matches the specified title text
/windowclass:TTTT
the message is sent to any window that has the specified window class
/processname:TTTT
the message is sent only to windows that are part of the specified process

If only /processname:TTTT is specified without any window title, class or handle, the message is sent to the top level window of the specified process(es).

Example

SendMessage.exe /message:16 /processname:cmd.exe

Sends a WM_CLOSE message to all open console windows.

StExBar: The ultimate tool for Windows Explorer

Or what Microsoft forgot to implement in the Windows Explorer.

Go to the download page.

Windows XP not supported

StExBar requires Windows Vista or later. It won't work on Windows XP!

StExBar provides many useful commands for your everyday use of Windows explorer. And you can add as many custom commands on your own as you like.

StExBar screenshot

The commands are not just available from the toolbar, but also via hotkeys and via a context menu!

Have you ever needed to open a console window while you were using the explorer? And to have that console already set to the directory you're showing in explorer right now? Well, StExBar provides that with one simple mouseclick. There's also a hotkey defined for this: simply press Ctrl+M to open the console.

A "lightweight" console is also available. Simply enter the command you like to execute into the edit box on the right of the StExBar and hit enter. The command will be executed in the system console.

Have you ever needed to have the name or full path of one or more files in another application? Ctrl+C doesn't work here, that won't copy the file path but the file itself. StExBar comes to the rescue. It provides two commands, one to copy all selected file/foldernames to the clipboard, the other copies the whole paths of all selected items. To make it even more easier to use this, a hotkey is defined Ctrl+Shift+C which copies the selected paths.

StExBar new folder command

Creating new folders is a common task in explorer. But to actually do that, you have to right-click on a folder background, choose "New" from the context menu, wait until the submenu finally appears, then choose "Folder" from that submenu. Not anymore! StExBar provides you the same with one easy click. Or even faster with the assigned hotkey: just press Ctrl+Shift+N and you have a new folder created in the current directory.

Note: Windows 10 has that command already implemented in the explorer with the same keyboard shortcut, so on Windows 10, StExBar does not show the "New Folder" command.

StExBar rename dialog

StExBar can also help you renaming multiple files at once. It uses Regular Expression strings to do so.

You can add your own commands to StExBar and define hotkeys for them.

StExBar Options

You can start your configured tools and the internal console command in elevated mode by holding down the left WIN key. This works for clicking on the toolbar button as well as when you execute the hotkey.

Go to the download page.

Installation

Installation is easy, just run the msi installer:

StExBar installer

After installing, StExBar is ready:

  1. open an explorer window
  2. open the menu "View->Toolbars" (note: on vista, you have to either activate the menu first, or hit the ALT key)
  3. chose "StExBar" from the list
  4. you may want to adjust the size and position of StExBar. To do that, you have to first unlock the toolbars with the menu "View->Toolbars->Lock the Toolbars"

After that, StExBar is ready:

Vista explorer

Note: restarting should not be necessary (only close all Windows Explorer windows). But if you don't see StExBar listed in the Toolbars menu, it's most likely because Windows caches the installed toolbars:

Delete the following two registry keys to clear the cache (the registry keys will be automatically recreated):

 HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories\{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Enum
 HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories\{00021494-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Enum
-

If StExBar is still not showing properly, go to Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing and check there Enable third-party browser extensions.

Example commands

While StExBar already has some useful commands built in, you might want to add commands of your own.

Open selected file in Editor

While for many file types like *.txt a double-click will open the file in the editor, many file types have their own double-click action and won't open the file in an editor. Here's my custom command to open any file in the Windows editor by simply hitting Ctrl+E:

Open in Editor command
Toggle the readonly attribute

To toggle the readonly attribute of selected files, we have to write a small script. The script is in the contrib folder of our source code, which you can find here. The file is called "attrib.js".

toggle readonly attribute

Contribute

if you have your own commands and scripts which you think might be useful to others, then please share them!

Just file an issue in our issue tracker and attach your script there. Don't forget to mention what your script or command does.

We will put your scripts in our contrib folder for others to use. It would be good if you add some comments at the top of your scripts which explain what it does and how to use it.

grepWin: Regular expression search and replace for Windows

Go to the download page to download grepWin right now.

Windows XP not supported

grepWin requires Windows 7 SP1 or later. It won't work on Windows XP or Vista!

grepWin is a simple search and replace tool which can use regular expressions to do its job. This allows to do much more powerful searches and replaces.

In case you're not familiar with regular expressions, we have a very short regular expression tutorial for you.

grepWin adds an entry to the shell context menu to easily search selected folders.

Right click

Once started, grepWin allows you to customize the search or replace in many ways.

Search

For example, you can (and maybe you should) limit the search to certain file sizes, file types, etc.

Since regular expressions can sometimes get complicated, grepWin allows you to add your most used expressions to a presets list.

Add preset

Once you've added some presets, you can easily retrieve them again from the presets dialog.

Presets

After a successful search or replace, the matching files are listed at the bottom of the dialog. The file list behaves a lot like the common Windows explorer. That means a double-click will open the file, and a right-click will show you the default shell menu for that file.

Shell menu

If you want to report a bug or request a feature, use our issue tracker to file a new issue or add a comment to an existing one. Make sure to search all issues, not just the open issues at the time.

Command line parameters

The command line parameters are listed on a separate page.

Visual Studio integration

You can also integrate grepWin into Visual Studio, the wiki explains how.

Stefans Tools

Useful open source tools that make your life easier

tabspace

tabspace is a small command line tool that converts tabs to spaces or spaces to tabs automatically in files. It also removes spaces at the end of lines.

It works with ANSI, UTF-8 and even UTF-16 (on Windows mostly referred to as Unicode) files alike.

The conversion is done so that the alignment always stays the same - the conversion does not simply replace the characters, but uses an algorithm to find out how the replacement has to be done.

The command line is:

 tabspace [/path:"path\to\convert"] [/checkonly] [/usetabs]
          [/tabsize:4] [/leaveeol] [/ext:"extension;list"]
-
/path
specifies the directory where all the files are to be converted, or a path to a single file to be converted
/checkonly
if specified, the files are not modified but only an info is shown
/usetabs
convert spaces to tabs instead of tabs to spaces
/tabsize
specifies the tab size, defaults to 4
/leaveeol
if specified, whitespaces at the end of lines are not removed
/ext
a list of file extensions to scan, other extensions are ignored. Defaults to c;cc;cpp;cs;cxx;h;hpp;hxx
/include
a list of patterns to include, separated by ;. If this is set, /ext must not be set!
For example c:\sub1\*.*;*\sub2\*.cpp.
/exclude
a list of patterns to ignore, separated by ;.
For example c:\sub1\*.*;*\sub2\*.cpp.

You can download the tool from here. The source code is here.
