Bulk Rename Utility

12 de Novembro de 2013 – 10:45

Bulk Rename Utility is an easy to use file rename program (a.k.a. file renamer). Renaming multiple files has never been easier! It has a small memory footprint so it can be left running all the time without consuming all your memory. It started as a freeware Visual Basic tool, but as its popularity has grown it has been completely rewritten in C++ to be robust and lightweight – and very, very fast! It can easily handle folders/discs containing well over 100,000 entries… and it can batch rename 1,000s of files in seconds.

The software is freeware and gets downloaded very frequently. It has a large base of regular users. Most of the features have originated from other users’ suggestions. As such, it is continually being enhanced and improved.

As well as being “recommended” by a number of web sites, Bulk Rename Utility has also appeared on many magazine cover-discs, from Brazil to Sweden.

If you have a suggestion for a new feature, get in touch and it could appear in a future release of the software!

How to close Apps in Windows 8

12 de Setembro de 2012 – 16:39

There are 4 ways you can close metro apps in the new Windows 8:

  1. If you have a touch screen tablet or laptop, touch your finger on the top of the screen and drag it all the way to the bottom. It will minimize and move the app from your way.
  2. If you don’t have a touch screen but you use a mouse, do the same with the mouse. Point your mouse on the top of the screen and drag it all the way down. When you point the mouse to the top of the screen, you can see the cursor is changing.
  3. Press ALT key + F4. This will still work just like the traditional Windows programs.
  4. The killer option: use ALT+CTRL+DEL and kill the app using the task manager.

Microsoft Tips & tricks Windows 8

Windows 8 Activation Error: DNS name does not exist Error Code: 0x8007232B

12 de Setembro de 2012 – 16:15

Depending on where the installation media was obtained from (MSDN, TechNet subscription download,..) the activation wizard  by default will look for a Key Management Service (KMS) host on your internal network. It will not try to activate using the internet to reach Microsoft Activation servers.

The solution is to manually change the product key to a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) most likely provided with your MSDN or TechNet subscription.

To change the product key, use the slmgr.vbs script included with your Windows installation.

  1. Run the command prompt as an administrator
  2. Enter slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is your product key.

What is a PAD file?

29 de Junho de 2012 – 14:48

PAD stands for Portable Application Description, and a PAD file is a clear and easy way for software authors to provide online sources with information about their products. The advantage of using a PAD file is that it enables you to store all the descriptions and specifications in one single place – system requirements, price, contact info, file names, download URL’s and more.

Another great thing about PAD files is that they’re so easy to create – and that it doesn’t cost you anything! The Association of Shareware Professionals have put together a range of totally free tools that allow you to create and modify your PAD files. Here at SoftwarePromotions, we have also created our own PAD file tools to make life easier for software authors – check out our guide to using PADGen and our PAD validation tool.

Once you have created your PAD file, you should put it in two different places. First in your ZIP file, so that the people who distribute your software can access all the information that they might need. Second, you also want to put your PAD file on your own website, since this is what many of the download sites will ask you for.

Since June 2001, SoftwarePromotions has been working exclusively with PAD files. This is because the PAD format allows us to get your software listed on as many sites as possible, in the shortest amount of time.

Using Character Encoding in ASP.NET

31 de Março de 2011 – 15:45

Open the file named web.config in the ASP.NET project. The value of requestEncoding attribute in globalization element is “utf-8”. It means the requested texts were encoded as UTF-8 character set. Because SCO5.05 does not support UTF-8, therefore the requested texts where changed.

VB:

Public Shared Function unicode_iso8859(ByVal src As String) As String
Dim iso As Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(“iso8859-1”)
Dim unicode As Encoding = Encoding.UTF8
Dim unicodeBytes As Byte() = unicode.GetBytes(src)
Return iso.GetString(unicodeBytes)
End Function

Public Shared Function iso8859_unicode(ByVal src As String) As String
Dim iso As Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(“iso8859-1”)
Dim unicode As Encoding = Encoding.UTF8
Dim isoBytes As Byte() = iso.GetBytes(src)
Return unicode.GetString(isoBytes)
End Function

label1.Text = iso8859_unicode(MyString)
