Google Translate - Firefox addon bartab vs toomany tabs - 0 views

Firefox addon addon addons comparison FireFox extension memory

shared by LeisHowI on 12 Jul 10 - Cached

    My attempted translation. BarTab: There are two key points which I'll explain using some scenarios. 1. If the many tabs were left open from a previous firefox session, it would take a long time when you reopen firefox. 2. When using firefox, we sometimes end up opening a whole lot of pages. This in turn consumes a lot of memory, causing lag to occur in firefox. (Copied) BarTab can solve these problems 1. When restoring tabs from a previous session is set to put them on my bar tab 2. When I don't visit a tab for a while, set to put it on my bar tap after x hour / minute / second Time can be set TooManyTabs BarTab is more convenient since it's automated. I feel that TooManyTabs is more like an addon meant to manage pages/tabs. Although it also does function as a memory saving tool. This is done so manually; where one has to select a page to be placed into the TMT placeholder. They way it does this is through capturing pages and turning them into bookmarks; and thus releasing memory. To reload a tab, one has to select the 'column' in which the page that was placed in TMT resides, and then again clicking on that page to re-open it. This manual method of reopening pages, as compared to BarTab, is less convenient or intuitive. 'Situitation method'? Because of the way it is used, I think it is more suitable as a tool that operates more like ReaditLater. With the function: page history and cateogory management. This is the advantage of using TMT; something that BarTab cannot do. 'from this point of view, they can actually be counted as different tools??' So really, there's no real problem even if you choose to you both simultaneously. You can simply choose what you want based on your needs.

  • Location: Was it an outdoor shot or an indoor one?
  • Content: Was it about people, plants, the ocean or the sky?
  • Text:
  • Color: Narrow down the choices by searching for a particular color using the color wheel.
  • Photology lets us select the folders to monitor for photos
  • Features: Was it black/white, under-exposed, over-exposed, in focus, out of focus or in monotones?

  • Share – Easily share photos via an email link, Flickr, Picasa or SmugMug. We can also collect selected photos into a desktop folder for sharing through the ‘file’ share option.
  • logical filters like ‘Features’, ‘Color’, ‘Date’ and ‘Text’ returned fairly accurate results with a few errors.
  • abstract counterparts like ‘Location’ and ‘Content’ returned a wider variety of inaccurate results
  • Though, I wish they would add some multiple image handling capabilities especially related to naming and tagging so I can compensate for some of my previous laziness.

    Great that it stores as metadata, and other applications can read it. Bad Free version allows a maximum of ONLY 3 tags per photo. (see section on 'How to register iTag'. it is not written but displayed in the picture. Making it somewhat un-searchable.) => -10 Index build upon first use. If tags changed through other programs though, it needs to be re-indexed. Highlights Pink - gd Green - bad Blue - how it works etc Yellow - general

shared by LeisHowI on 18 Jul 10 - Cached
  • KeepNote offers a convenient debugging tool for when notes are not saving properly. You can open any note as a raw text file in the text editor of your choice. This is specified with the Text Editor helper application.

      eg, using notepad++ instead to edit items. overriding the lack of language support or spellcheck currently.
  • Screenshots can be taken very easily in KeepNote using Ctrl+Insert. KeepNote uses helper applications to actually take the screenshot.

      Since it asks for the launch link in the preferences. It works well with picpick as it runs with parameters as well.
  • Additional notes: To be specific, KeepNote expects the screenshot program to take a single command-line option: the output image filename.
  • ...45 more annotations...
  • filename is a tempfile managed by KeepNote
  • After the screenshot program finishes, KeepNote will un-minimize, attempt to read the saved screenshot, and insert the image into the currently open note. The tempfile will also be removed.
  • KeepNote maintains an index of each notebook to facilitate faster navigation and linking. This index is stored as a SQLite database and its file is located at your_notebook/__NOTEBOOK__/index.sqlite.
  • if you happen to create/modify notes outside of KeepNote (which is not guaranteed to be supported in all cases), you should let the index know about these changes by choosing the menu Tools > Update Notebook Index.
  • If you use backup software or a network filesystem with your notebook, you may experience performance issues with the index
  • If this becomes an issue, you can specify an alternative location for the index file (say a location on a local disk). To specify an alternative location, use the option Edit > Preferences > This Notebook > Alternative index location.
  • can use drag and drop in either the treeview or listview to rearrange your notes.
  • envision KeepNote being used in a research setting where you have notes that follow both journal (time-sensitive, linear organization, pictured on the left) and reference (time-insensitive, hierarchical, pictured on the right) styles.
  • istview also allows sorting by both creation time, note title, and manual sorting.
  • Another feature that I have focused on is image manipulation.
  • Notes are most valuable when you can easily access them. That means accessing your notes on multiple platforms
  • All notes are stored in UTF-8 HTML files and nested in ordinary folders on the file system. That means you can read your notes with nothing more than a web browser.
  • Portability.
  • KeepNote can easily save notebooks to a USB drive. The KeepNote application can also be installed to a USB drive, so that moves with the notes.
  • At this time KeepNote does store some user preference information in the Application Data folder, but this should not prevent using KeepNote in a portable way.
  • because KeepNote does not store any information in the Windows Registry
  • shortcut keys Ctrl+N (New Page) and Ctrl+Shift+M (New Folder).
  • KeepNote can store any file as an "attachment" to the notebook.
  • Autosave. Notebooks are automatically saved every 10 seconds. This interval can be changed or disabled in the Edit > Preferences menu.
  • Nesting in listview. Another subtle feature is that the listview can display nested folders and notes as well. The collapse state of folders in the listview is saved separately.
  • listview, you can sort notes by many criteria (e.g. title, creation time, modification time, etc) by clicking on the column headers.
  • For very large notebooks, a treeview (the left side of the window) becomes overwhelming, a problem I have run into with many other programs. In these situations, a listview (top portion of the window), becomes important.
  • none of the columns are activated for sorting, the listview goes into "manual" sort mode, which displays the notes as they appear in the treeview and allows you to drag and drop notes into any order you wish.
  • One very subtle but convenient feature is that the listview sorting is saved on a per folder basis
  • KeepNote also supports links between notes in a notebook.
  • Simply start a link with Ctrl+L or clicking the link button and start typing the name of a note. An auto-complete drop down list will appear allowing you to pick the note you wish to link to
  • Another way to create a link is to use copy-and-paste. First, select a note in the treeview or listview that you wish to link to and copy it (Ctrl+C or the menu Edit > Copy). Next, navigate to the note in which you wish to make the link, and paste into the text editor to create a link.
  • Note: note-to-note links will never break (unless you delete the target note). Feel free to rename a note or move it around. Links will still point to the right notes.
  • Custom note icons
  • Each note can have up to two icons associated with it: a normal icon and an optional open version of the icon. If the open version of an icon is set it will be used when the note is expanded in the treeview or listview
  • After you select a new icon, it will be added to the Notebook-specific Icons list for future reuse. A copy of the icon image is now stored in your notebook.
  • several options for images in their right click menu
  • Resize Image...
  • KeepNote will display the image at its new size, while keeping the original image file unaltered (original size).
  • Double clicking the image or choosing the View Image menu option will display the image at its original size in the image viewer of your choice.
  • feature is convenient for shrinking large images into thumbnails within your notebook.
  • Sorting.
  • Spell checking is available only on Linux and Mac OS X at this time
  • can add/change a keyboard shortcut to any menu option in KeepNote.
  • Simply place your mouse cursor over the menu item which you would like to customize and press your desired shortcut combination (e.g. Ctrl+I)
  • To remove a shortcut altogether, press Ctrl+Backspace
  • Backup and restore
  • Currently, the only format implemented is HTML
  • The hierarchy (as seen in the treeview) will be exported and all note-to-note links will be translated from KeepNote's format (e.g. nbk:///nodeid...) into relative file links that will work in all web browsers.
  • Helper applications are other programs installed on your computer that KeepNote can use to perform certain operations, such as image editing, web browsing, text editing, etc. These applications are chosen from the KeepNote Preference dialog,
