Updates for my programs and websites

MagiWOL 2.10

Illustration

This one is only small update to MagiWOL. Notable changes include:

  • Enhanced compatibility with Mono.
  • Fixed menu underlines.
  • Extension .magiwol is now associated with program.
  • Invalid open and save operations now go without crashing.

You can download it here now. At later time, you will be able to find it also at my home page.

P.S. Although interface looks simple, for those who wish to access full power of program there is menu hidden behind press of Alt key (or configurable to be always visible via Options).

MobiReg 1.10

Illustration

As you may know, MobiReg is free registry editor for Windows mobile (both Smartphone and Pocket PC).

This version is just small evolutionary step and adds renaming of value names. This should make playing with configuration a little bit easier.

You may download it here (cab) or here (zip).

MagiWOL and \"Program Too Large\"

It seems that there was error in uploading MagiWOL installation. Result of that was corrupted file and installation gave “Program too large” error on command line.

I re-uploaded file now and everything should be fine once again. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience.

MagiWOL 2.00

Illustration

After really long time, new version of MagiWOL is out.

Area of expertise for this program is waking computers via Wake-On-LAN messages. All standard features in that kind of program are present here also. Additionally there is total reconfigurability of broadcast address (per device - necessary for older equipment) and ability to wake computers protected with Secure-On password.

Notable changes for this version include:

  • completely new user interface
  • added command line support
  • full support for Windows Vista and Windows 7 (RC)
  • Copy/Paste
  • Import from computer names and IP ranges

You can download it here now. At later time, you will be able to find it also at my home page.

QText 2.10

Here is final version of QText.

Only real change that was made is install procedure. While this does mean that some code was changed (and some bugs were fixed), there was no change in user interface.

Illustration

This version requires installation to first remove any old versions. This procedure is automated and I have tested it with versions 1.31, 1.40 and 2.00. If you have any other version installed I would advise to uninstall it first since installation may not uninstall it automatically.

In case something goes wrong with uninstalling, you will end up with two versions of QText in Uninstall dialog and once that happens, old version will not be uninstallable. Except for that annoyance, everything else should work properly even if that happens.

No damage to your data should happen during uninstall. However if you wish to backup it first, just go Options -> Files -> Open folder. This will open Explorer window. From there you can copy your files anywhere you wish. Once new version is installed, just copy files back. This step is optional since uninstall will not delete any files or settings and install will take them over. All your files should be safe.

You can download new version here.

QText 2.10 (Beta 1)

There are some bug fixes and minor changes along a big one. Installation engine was changed to Inno Setup. This was done in order to support both 32-bit and 64-bit installations in same file and to enjoy quite nice features. Which ones? I will probably write a post or two later.

Final version of MobiReg is out.

This is small registry editor which supports supports creating and editing of string, binary, DWord (32-bit), QWord (64-bit), multi-string and expandable-string data types. Additionally to that, there is support for both Smartphone (Windows Mobile Classic) and Pocket PC (Windows Mobile Professional) platform in single executable.

One of features that may help you to decide whether to use it or not is support for both import and export of registry in standard .reg file.

You can download it here.

In order to run it, you may need .NET Compact Framework 2.0 or higher (if it is not already installed).

QText 2.00

New QText is finally done.

For those who are not familiar with it, it is small utility that sits in your tray, comes when called, allows you to write some notes, and goes away. All that with auto save feature that ensures you don’t lose one bit.

More interesting changes for 2.00 include:

  • Changed menu appearance.
  • Added Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, …, Ctrl+0 shortcuts.
  • All code is in one .exe.
  • Support for RTF.
  • Auto update in case of direct file system changes.

You can download it here.

MobiReg - Beta 2

Illustration

Here is second beta of MobiReg.

This small registry editor for Windows Mobile 6 (probably works on 5 also, but I haven’t checked). It works on both Standard (Smartphone) and Professional (Pocket PC).

Following changes were made for second beta:

  • slightly changed behavior of backspace
  • removed left/right movement
  • both import and export use same folder
  • enhanced screen rotation support

Feel free to download new version.
