What are Coding Snacks?
Coding Snacks represent the best of DonationCoder.
On a special section of our forum, anyone can post an idea for a small custom utility/program.
Coders who hang out on our forum keep an eye out for interesting requests and when they see one that catches their interest, they code it and release it to the public for free.
People who find the tools useful are encouraged to donate directly to the coders to show their appreciation.

It's safe to say that mysterious and reclusive DC member Skrommel single-handedly built the Coding Snacks section of the DonationCoder forum, where people request small custom applications. Coding in the Autohotkey scripting language, Skrommel is also one of the fastest coders we've seen -- when he is on the prowl it's not uncommon for him to finish coding a request before most of us have had time to even read it. He also typically shares his source code along with the compiled utility, which makes it possible for others to extend and customize his tools.

Way Simple Folder Cache for Windows I took the AutoIt3 engine I had for monitoring when Explorer opens a folder and just converted it to a complete application. FolderCache. This implementation is much simpler than others I've done. Leave it run in the system tray. Hit Shift-PgUp to open the launch window. The GUI is no great shakes but I made it wide to avoid the need for horizontal scrolling to see all of the folder name. It should be usable in screen res 800x600 or higher. Right now there are no user configurable options. It's hard-wired for a max of 24 folders. There's no install needed. To have it start with Windows just make a shortcut in the Startup folder. (One note, the launch window is created dynamically when opened and destroyed with each close. While it is open, the folder monitor function is paused. No folders will be added to the cache while the launch window is open. For this reason there is no minimize button on the window frame. If you change your mind about opening a folder in the window, just click the close 'x' on the window frame or click the Open Selected Button with nothing selected, to close it.) |
