Newest information about those TabletPC issues in CDS versions up to this point: James Kendrick reports that Copernic has made a new interim version available for TabletPC users. James says he’s been testing it for a day without any issues. Note that this release doesn’t have any changes apart from the fix for the flickering TIP on TabletPCs. Here’s the direct download link which you can also find in James’s post: Copernic Desktop Search 1.5 build for Tablet PC owners …
Copernic Desktop Search has had its version 1.5 released. I’ve had a look at it to see if maybe some of my suggestions from my article What I’d like to see in Copernic Desktop Search have made it into the final version. Unfortunately, there’s doesn’t seem to be any information on changes that have been made since the beta version, so it’s easy to miss something. Dear Copernic guys, maybe you could publish some more information on changes you make during development cycles?
Good news

Well, I don’t. I never switch off my computer and I never quit the utilities that are running on it all the time. There may be better reasons for this than I have, but these are mine: I use it 14 hours a day anyway, and to boot my 3.4 GHz Athlon 64 system from a cold state into Windows XP, with all the tools running, it takes 19 minutes, that’s no exaggeration. In this context, there’s something I absolutely hate: most applications, even small ones, have routines these days that run “regularly” …
How do you do screenshots? Is there anybody who doesn’t do them these days? It just occurred to me that I never wrote about my program of choice for this task, SnagIt.
Obviously, some of us may be happy using the built-in Windows functions via the Print Screen key. But there’s a lot more that can be done with proper screen capturing software. I went to evaluate quite a lot of them before deciding to use SnagIt, but most failed at the simple tasks… like work …
As of today, Skype have launched a beta for their new SkypeIn service. Currently it’s possible to get numbers in four regions (France, Hong Kong/China, United Kingdom and United States), regardless of where you yourself live, that allow people to dial in to your Skype using “normal” telephone systems. For a year, the subscription costs 30€, 10€ for 3 months. A subscription for the Skype VoiceMail system, that’s also been in beta test for a while now, is included in that price. To use the ne …
A OneNote notebook is comprised of separate files, which may be stored in different locations. Sure, if you first create a new “Section” in OneNote itself, the application will create the new file in the default path (which can be customised via Tools/Options/Open and Save). But you can easily move that file elsewhere once it’s been created. Just create a normal Windows link to the file in your notebook folder and OneNote will show the tab with a small symbol on it, so you know that file is not …
In Chris Pratley’s article The best ways to show OneNote to others, I found the idea of storing blog articles in OneNote. Somehow that never occurred to me :-) So I thought I’d employ the IE2OneNote power toy to copy all my current articles to OneNote to start with. Several problems with this: first, the format of a web page is completely lost when doing that. The power toy simply dumps the textual context of a page, plus the images, into a OneNote page sequentially. Sometimes, I do use tables …
Chris Sano has made a fix for his ColorPicker.NET available, a tool I wrote about earlier. This update fixes the problems related to multi-monitor setups, where the mouse pointer wouldn’t want to leave the primary screen after dragging the mouse in the color area. His announcement of the fix is here.
