« Carpet’s bag »: Useful programs for a useless computer

This useless The long -throat languished in drafts and sometimes supplemented since the time of repeated questions about what kind of softwood or utility was lit up on the air / review / screenshot, but crawled up to the publication only now. I mean, the post crawled. Yes and me too. But you never know, suddenly all of the following will greatly make life easier for me, as at one time I-when I myself discovered these small but extremely useful programs. Many of them, by the way, are also completely free.

After all, in everyday life there are tasks that you perform a purely on autopilot by the usual method and do not even suspect that you can save a lot of time and nerves by “turning to the services” of some small utility-that’s the most funny. Therefore, just in case, I advise you not to multiply the names that immediately by name or by the screenshot will seem to be excess – it may turn out from a brief description that for a complete “baking” happiness you were just this program and was needed. This is instead of a preface and yes, from your own experience.

I will only warn in advance that to idiotic issues such as “in which program you do reviews? »The post has nothing to do and will not contain any indie-mounting software or guides. Although, all this can take place the next time if there is a demand.

And I’ll start, perhaps, with my « beloved » topic – from the mess to ship the computer as a whole and in media teles in particular. Over time, a hard drive turns into a trash, and folders with photos, videos and materials downloaded from the Internet – and even more so. Everyone who does or tried to make video reviews, local chaos is even too well familiar-in the directory with footage after passing some thirty-hour game, the search for the right fragment for installation easily turns to torture. You can, of course, give up everything in a timeline on timeline and bolt in this, but in practice it is much wiser – to structure the material in advance: calculate and delete marriage / extra pieces, mark especially important episodes with tags, sort and rename everything necessary and so on. But even a reference to the fishery, such manipulations often really want to make quickly and effectively with the archive of films or just images, photos, screenshots.

Name: Diffractor
Where to look: www.Diffractor.Com
In Russian: Does not know how
How much to pay: Freebie / voluntary « donation »

Excellent solution to all problems with cataloging multimedia. In addition to the extensive opportunities for distributing tags, sorting and grouping, the program has a fantastic-fucked internal player and viewer of images, and also very quickly indexes targeted (“chosen”) folders, but their number is limited. Voluntary « donors » can indicate a little more additional directory, but otherwise the functionality of the program is completely available without any financial investments. By default, DiffRactor is stamped by the main Windows catalogs for multimedia – “My images”, “My video” and so on. Extremely easy to set up and use, is not demanding on the system and more than self -sufficient.

As you can see, all the most popular manipulations are equipped with a menu, which is caused by pressing the right mouse key on any element of the collection. You can instantly send the image to the network or send it by e -mail, find in the conductor, convert, throw a background to the desktop, convert in any way and so on. There is also a package processing of files (including video encoding) and extensive capabilities for setting properties, keywords, previews and everything else related. In appendage, you can also capture the current image from the screen.

The interface is very obedient, all the “compartments” willingly change in size when tuging abroad, and the same viewer/player can easily be “moved to zero” if it is not required at the moment. For video files, porting prying is created right on the go in a huge quantity, so you can quickly and clearly familiarize yourself with the contents of any video in the grid-the preview frame will constantly change when the cursor moves on top of a specific sketch. In short, as for me – an exemplary program in its own way. Even with all my desire, I can’t remember a single complaint or a tangible minus, except, except, perhaps, not very convenient adjustment of the volume when playing – there are only three steps, that is, three “steps” instead of a familiar scale with a slider.

I recommend it with all my might.

Just an indispensable search engine for everyone who has a lot of disk space, a bunch of files and … The hell knows where everything was lost in general. However, it will probably be useful even more than the most accurate and cleaner users, because at a terrible speed – just at an incredible one – knows how to find everything at all. And yes, when I say « at a terrible speed » – I mean this particular. For example, I liked it naively think that even if evil and cool hackers, like in a movie, will burst into my search Video about bone hair any traces of the « gamezor », then they will simply drown in five terabytes of garbage … but no! Nanotechnology has already reached instant!) the search for targeted data even in colossal-oz massifs of materials. Thanks to EVERYTHING (and not only to her, but more on that later), I myself finally figured out, finally, in these my terabytes.

If this example is not very close to you, then I will bring from another, more visual, “operas”. Bsod, blue death screen – well -known dirty trick. Sometimes it is relatively informative and even reports which file or driver has stopped responding, but most healthy people have names such as “Wtfamdagain.SYS »NOT say nothing. EVERYTHING will find any similar file in the very bowels of the Windows service directories in less than a second, much faster than any Google-and replace it preventively replace it by pulling out a copy of the system or ISO-archive from the Microsoft website, will be a minute business. Search for configuration files, gaming conservations, forgotten archives, and so on – the possibilities are endless, and all areas of application do not even immediately come to mind. Flexible setting and equally effective interaction with arrays of data remotely (network, ftp, etc.) – also in the kit. Is it worth it about convenient filters and prospects in terms of stripping HDD from duplicates and temporary files ..

Just remember how many times have you longed for how reluctantly a strip of progress crawls when searching for something with standard Windows means. The efficiency of the algorithm does not affect the imagination even when the files are turned on by default, and if you have it completely cut down (as all the guides about optimization of Windows 7+ are advised)-then in general … the parcel from the Russian Post will reach faster than something will be found. Familiar? Relevant? Then, as they say, EVERYTHING is just a must have for you.

In Russian: Good translations from volunteers
How much to pay: Freebie / voluntary « donation » (without privileges)

The topic of dubious amenities and places of outright clumsy of the standard conductor Windows has been raising everywhere for a year now. In some places, the official Explorer is so clearly inferior even to the neighboring Internet browser that guard. There is already another anniversary update behind him, and now there … If, of course, he is not arming an amazing “modification” called Qttabbar. Some enthusiasts managed to abandon the development and repeatedly “finish” others, but in the end the ultimatical means of navigation inside the operating room turned out, some solutions in which can return even bearded oldfags to the conductor, who had long abandoned it in favor of Total Commander.

There is no doubt, Qttabbar is one of the mastodons of today’s collection. It is very difficult to answer the question of what he knows such an interesting thing – this is just the case when it would be easier to say, which he does not know how to. But here I caught myself thinking that I was at a loss to answer. It is unlikely that you cannot find something necessary or long-desired in the branchy labyrinth of settings, rather the opposite-repeatedly ask yourself with the question “And cho, it was possible? ». In some places, Qttabbar even takes part of the load of two programs mentioned above-there are also ways to optimize the search and very convenient (from case to serving) multimedia cataloging tools. In addition to the mass of additional menu, which you will sometimes accidentally discover here and there, just when you close the pointer, the superstructure offers convenient panels for creating shortcuts and your own submenu, nimble prevents that can be “educated” so that the picture under the cursor will simply increase, and the video file (any) is reproduced in the tiny window next to the course of the course. Extremely convenient tabs (and also with the navigated menu for quick navigation), you yourself have already noticed in the screenshop above. Of course, in a set of various kinds of “Helpers” for jumping in “popular” folders and the opening of recent documents/programs, as well as an assistant addition to the desktop, which allows a double click on the desktop to cause another menu – its functionality and usefulness are flexible separately.

In addition to a huge amount of functional and navigation “goodies”, there is a wide selection of levers of visual customization, additional skins are supported for all elements and so on. Clutch of regular plugins, which are easier to find in the same place where you find the program itself, will help optimize the most routine processes: the choice of all files with the same extension for one click, fast change of type and design of the folder, drawing stickers with reference to specific directors, identifying and sorting “zero” files or empty folders, ETC. In other words, you quickly find out to use the Windows conductor without this gorgeous addition, and Qttabbar will become as primary for installation on top of a fresh operating system as drivers, codecs and browser.

And, perhaps, it is here that it will be appropriate to indicate a couple of “additions to addition”, which it makes no sense to put into a separate paragraph. FileMenu Tools (friends with Russian) and Shelltos (not much friends) – these are functional expansion of the context menu, with which many navigation and file body movements become much less dreary. Instead of a thousand words I will just show a few screenshots, of which everything will immediately become clear.

And yes, in terms of the set of functions, these pieces do not differ radically, so in principle it makes sense to choose one thing. Shelltoys, by the way, not only rejects Russification, but also asks for a coin, so if the question is by the edge, the choice in favor of Filemenu Tools will be more optimal. On the other hand, in the sleeve of Shelltos several chic additional options, including an excellent manager of the exchange buffer and an equally excellent auto -filling manager (for forms, passwords, ETC) next door.

Name: Dism++
Where to look: VBV.I feel.Me
In Russian: Knows good
How much to pay: Freebie / voluntary « donation » (without privileges)

Unlike other samples today, this program is designed mainly for advanced users, but I could not go around it. A free system manager from a Chinese developer simply has no analogues and is ready to offer a prepared user almost complete control over the Windows system, significantly expanding the functionality of the standard DISM (Deployment Image Servic and Management). Installation, configuration, backup and restoration of the operating system, drivers, components and updates using Dism ++ becomes an easy and laid -back event. The kit also includes everything you need for comfortable work with images (including loading), to optimize individual elements, to regulate the auto loading of programs and drivers, for cleaning from temporary files, cache and other garbage according to a similar CCleaner mechanics ..

The need for Windows reinstalls due to some ordinary malfunctions disappears forever if you keep DISM at hand++. The program willingly spell out to the BCD file and the boot menu, which will allow you to autonomously launch it in a separate Winpe shell, even if the main operating room has gone completely. At the same time, she has both its own conductor in her arsenal and all the necessary components to easily save files from under the ruins of the “killed” Windows, restore download functions or simply roll back system changes, installed updates, etc.p.

However, you need to behave with Dism ++ very carefully, at least – not touch anything without complete confidence that you understand the essence of the option of the option. To eliminate problems with the proper level of preparation in the program is just as simple as it is simple and to bury Windows irrevocably if you overestimate your experience and awareness.

Name: PATCHMYPC

How much to pay: Freebie

And since such a booze went, one cannot fail to mention the wonderful “updole” PatchMyPC, which is indispensable if the case still reached the full reinteriority of the system (or if you simply purchased a new PC). Okay, I am slightly too much about indispensability, probably – you probably know about Ninite.com, where you can go, put all the necessary darkers and get the finished package installer of the most necessary software for Windows Software. But! Firstly, for a massive update you will have to repeat this procedure each time again, and secondly, for this you have to « step into a default browser ». PATCHMYPC offers to install software and first necessity components at all without any touch to standard applications-you can simply start the program from the flash drive, distribute checkmarks and deliver to the computer Flash Player, Java, Chrome, 7-Zip, Air, K-Lite, Steam, Skype and all the other, without plunging even without plungingIn the routine jamming of the « Next » button. And yes, the salt to the heap is that at the next launch, all these wonderful things will be allowed free of charge and just as quickly updated to the most relevant version. If it seems to you that it is too cool to do without a catch, then calm down – everything is so great for non -profit private traders, that is, for most of you. If you want such a thing to work for yourself or – even more so – if you are an admin in a large office and has already caught up with the desire to save 100,500 of the Humanities on updating and supplying the “wards” of computers of the corporate network, then please dump the securities and use a special edition.

The minus of PatchMyPC I personally discovered only one – it is impossible to call it self -sufficient due to the absence of some root system components in the database. In other words, it will not even be possible to start it, if, for example, it is prudent not to update Net Framework. Things like him and all kinds of Visual C ++ Redistributable usually everyone carefully installs manually, but this is not necessary at all, just for the completeness of the “startup complex” in this case you will need another cool “patcher” ..

In principle, Autopatcher contains everything you need, including Windows and Office updates, all auxiliary and root libraries of Rantams, DirectX and so on, but I have not started with it purely for the completeness of the picture, because – in my subjective opinion – only in the tandem with PatchMypc the PATCHMYPC is an ultimatical kit for the magical transformation of the fresh systemin completely « pumped » in half an hour or an hour. Yes, there are also on -duty archives, CCleaner and Notepad ++, but the assortment is extremely meager – it is more important to have all types of Dotnet, Visual Runtime and other platforms.

But enough, perhaps, about boring-system. We will return better to multimedia in order to answer one of the most acutely social questions of our time once and for all: how to download video from YouTube.

Name: 4K Video Downloader
Where to look: www.4kdownload.Com
In Russian: As on native
How much to pay: A freebie / there is a premium, but not at all required

So far, some suffer in search of a “ideal robber” of streaming services, others simply download videos from them with elementary browser extensions and do not see any sense in the use of individual specialized applications. I will try only a brief description of my personal favorite at once both situations – to direct and explain why “extraneous software” is much cooler than a browser appendage, if watching and preserving videos from YouTube (and analogues) for you is an everyday phenomenon.

As it is clear from the name, this utility will make up the video in the source quality, which has already exceeded 4K since the creation of the program, so I will immediately make a reservation – the capabilities of Grabber are not limited, 8k and the others also obediently go to the hard drive to press the magical button. Moreover, among the advantages of 4K Video Downloader there is also a package download, and you can steal not only a single playlist, but also the entire channel (!) – there would be enough free space for HDD ..

However, today and this will not surprise everyone. But with an intelligent and at the same time simple interface with the ability to flexibly configure the conditions of pumping depending on the situation, as well as the “subscription” function – you can surprise. For example, nominally when copying a link in 4K Video Downloader, you need to manually choose the directory of the destination, the file format (MP4, MP3, ETC), quality (from 240 rubles to the original, involved in the source video) and so on) and so on. But if you know that the next few videos you need in the same folder, all in the form of MP4 and everything in the most input quality, then you can turn on the so-called “smart mode”, and the program will stop asking related questions about each reference, will immediately put in the queue for imports. As for the “subscriptions”, then this is generally a great idea – if you “sign” 4k downloader on certain channels, all new published videos from them will be downloaded into the attached folder automatically immediately when it appears in the source.

Needless to talk about the on -duty set of options for downloading subtitles (with the choice of language), skipping duplicates (when downloading playlists), forced numbering and cataloging (creating thematic subt ales directly “on the fly”). Of course, I hardly have seen absolutely all the tools for “robbery” video from online services (because their legion!), but I definitely felt a couple of dozen. And ultimately, I decisively bought an expanded version of 4K Video Downloader, in which all restrictions were removed. But they are so, if that, “not biting” – an advertisement (banner) and a restriction on 100 videos in a playlist when downloading, it seems.

By the way! Without moving away from the cash desk, I will answer another popular question in the circles of video cakes and sympathetic: than and how the fastest a piece of one or another large footage is the fastest? This can be a fragment of the film for industrial, an episode of stream for an express-record, or something else like. So the simplest and fastest way in the screenshot is higher, and comments seem to not even be required. A tiny program exists for the sole purpose – without loss and transcoding to “tire” large video files of almost any formats (even MKV!) for a couple of clicks. You just indicate the beginning and end (“Pump method” or in the introduction of timings) and press the magic button – you are ready!

I almost forgot, meanwhile, one of the very important « heroines ». TERACOPY is a striking example of a case when I was already confused from the name (at the first “meeting”) and decided to install only in order to check why there may be an alternative copy mechanism in Windows at all. Like as with exploding helicopters in Joe Dante trailers, because of which people went to the cinema just to find out « fucking there is generally a helicopter ». What was my surprise when I saw what kind of light, grace and – most importantly – the speed of Teracopy transports any arrays of files from the folder to the folder and from the disk to the disk to the disk. Laziness to put things in order on HDD simply because for too long to drag films / pictures / backups for too long? It is persecuted that sometimes 20 gigabytes is to download faster than copy from flash drive / outer disk? All this is precisely in terms of a small, but ambitious teracopy, which is also eagerly integrated into the conductor-that is, if you wish, you can completely transfer all the operations of copy-measuring Windows “to its engine” with the interception of combinations of “Ctrl+C” and t keys.p. You just need to try and feel the difference in order to understand how great it is.

And … suddenly – for today everything. I designated only half the items from the initial list of programs that I wanted to share, but it turned out a little less summary than I expected, so it’s better to round and take a chance to leave some interesting things for later. Whether it is necessary « later » – it already depends on you. Write whether there was something useful in my review, as well as share your own software, if you suddenly have something in mind.
