Tips til gode gratisapplikasjoner

På tide med en "her er mine favorittgratisapplikasjoner"-tråd. Fortell om dine favoritter blant gratisapplikasjonene, og hvorfor de er så bra.

Jeg kan begynne. Google Notebook. Den virker simpel, men den er genial. Eksempel: jeg samler info om små-og-billige-bærbare. Jeg oppretter en ny note i Notebook, Surfedings. Når jeg finner nyttig info så merker jeg en passende mengde tekst på siden, høyreklikker og velger "Note this". Den valgte teksten (og evt bilder) havner i Notebook, sammen med en lenke til hvor informasjonen kom fra. Tekst og bilder vises helt korrekt, uten noe krøll (sålangt jeg har erfart). Det er etter min mening MYE nyttigere enn bokmerker, da hvert notat allerede viser den viktigste delen av infoen ser man raskt hvilken lenke som har den infoen man søker. En annen fin ting er at man får tak i notatene både fra jobb og hjemmefra.

Mcafee Site Advisor er fin for oss som googler mer enn vi surfer porr mcafee siteadvisor
Det er jo slik at nesten uansett hva man søker etter, kan man komme inn på dritt sider...(min erfaring)
Vet ikke om den støtter alle nettlesere,men funker fint i Ild reven(firefox)

Open Offive funker gull her. Kjekt hvis du ikke har Word/Excel.

http://www.openoffice.org/

Kanskje det er noe for meg som synes den eldgamle ''kopier til notat'' funskjonen i opera er sjenial..

Sync Toy 2.0 er en grei applikasjon for windows-brukere til å ta backup av det man måtte ønske.

Picasa

Rask og enkel bildeordner. Har en enkel editor, som håndterer en del enkel redigering av familiebilder. Fin kobling mot Picasaweb.

Funker MYE bedre enn organisatoren i PS Elements (Win) eller iPhoto (OSX).

Gleder meg til Picasa kommer til OSX!

Bruker SyncToy selv, men jeg har i det siste lest at den ikke er til å stole på.
Den kan visst finne på å hoppe over tilfeldige filer uten å si fra.
Jeg har ikke opplevd det selv, men vil ikke bruke den til kopiering hvor det er kritisk at alle filene kommer med.

Pidgin, en enkel erstatning for de fleste instant messaging programmer.

FileZilla ftp-klient.

CDBurner XP til å brenne cd'er.

Paint.NET, en veldig avansert utgave av Paint.

GIMP - Photoshop-lignende sak (multiplattform)
Adium - en elegant messenger med støtte for AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo og andre (ja, den gruser msn) (MacOS)
Avidemux - klipp og konverter video på en kjapp og enkel måte (multiplattform)
MPlayer - funksjonell mediaspiller og -enkoder (multiplattform)
VLC media player - fin og stødig mediaspiller (multiplattform)
QEMU - prosessoremulator, ikke ulikt VMWare (multiplattform)
TinyPDF - skriv ut til pdf (Windows)
PDF-Creator - samme som over (Windows)
Simplify Media - spill musikk direkte fra hjemmemaskinen din på iPhone eller iPod touch via internett (multiplattform)

Den er helt genial! Spiller hva det skulle være.

Har nettopp gått fra windows til Ubuntu linux. Bare positive opplevelser hittil!
(Ikke applikasjon men verdt en titt)

Jeg har bare såvidt tatt i bruk denne, men M8 clipboard ser så langt bra ut. Den lagrer de siste 25 cut/copy du har gjort, hentes enkelt opp med valgt tastekombinasjon, og lar deg enkelt paste med eller uten formattering. Ofte ønsker jeg å kopiere flere tekststrenger fra samme side, og/eller fjerne formattering, før jeg paster inn i et annet program, med denne går jobben mye enklere.

Hvorfor er dette dine favoritter, da?

Tja, fant denne listen annet sted og jeg selv bruker daglig mange programmer i de fleste kategorier på listen her. Da kunne det være greit å dele informasjonen!
Regner med programmer en bruker daglig kan regnes for favorittprogrammer da!

http://www.xobni.com/ Genialt tillegg til Outlook 2003 og 2007. Kjapp søkefunksjon, morsomme (og nyttige) statistikker. Presenterer mail som samtaler, ikke som enkeltvise mailer, slik Outlook viser dem. Søker fram en persons telefonnummer ut fra signaturer i mail og gjør det lett tilgjengelig sammen med søkefunksjonen, etc. Jeg ble avhengig på kort tid!

http://desktop.google.com/ - bruk googles søkefunksjon til søk på egen PC, servere, etc. Filtrer resultatene ut fra filtype hvis du leter etter bilder, musikk, presentasjoner, osv.

Masse bra. Og så kan man jo ta det med på minnebrikke slik at det alltid er tilgjengelig.

Notepad++ er jo ikke nevnt: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
Er en bra lettvekts teksteditor, Notepad på EPO.

http://www.vim.org/ - Den beste editoren (multiplattform)

Ah, en diskusjon på Den Beste Editoren™?

Har testet både vim og xemacs, men de er rett & slett ganske dårlige alternativer til vi og emacs. Stort sett forkludrer de fordelene som originalene hadde.

Hvilke fordeler blir forkludret?

Støtter vim/vi. Men, hvis man først tenker i retning av utvikling så er nok eclipse litt bedre - bedre støtte for å arbeide med flere filer spredt over flere kataloger er det jeg savner mest i vi/vim. Emacs har jeg aldri likt.

Mulig jeg har gått glipp av den i listen over, men jeg tror CYGWIN mangler! www.cygwin.org

Det er mye bra som er blitt nevnt, så jeg får bidra med mitt favorittprogram (blant de som ikke er nevnt) -- rsync. Brukes for å synkronisere filer. *Veldig* fint verktøy, spesielt kombinert med ssh.

<nerdemodus/>Ja, det vil gjerne jeg også vite.. om en vil ha vim til å opptre som vi er det jo mulighet til det også.. (og det er sagt om (gnu)emacs (som jeg har brukt i mange år(med vi-mode, selvsagt...):emacs is a nice operating system, it only lacks a decent editor..:)
Nei, vim har alt som vi mangler, og dessuten vi..:))

Noen flere:
Ncftp, den beste(!) ftpklienten, kan selvsagt også kompileres inn i cygwin, men finnes også som 'gui'..: http://www.ncftp.com/ Imagemagick http://www.imagemagick.org og xv http://www.trilon.com/xv/er ikke nevnt, lettvekts bildeprogrammer som har det en trenger til hverdags og fest. Selvsagt kommandolinjefunksjoner der også, slik at en kan bruke f.eks 'convert', nyttig for å endre mange bilder og slikt ved å bare skrive en liten linje i shellet...
Og artige 'regex coach': http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach , for den som vil leke med regulære uttrykk..!

Min favoritt cygwin er nevnt, der er alle de viktige unix utilities, og gnu kommandolinjeapplikasjonene, etc.. ssh, rsh, rsync, alle skallene; csh, ash, bash, osv...(editorene også, både den store slemme og den lille snille, pluss pluss alt for nerdene som må jobbe med windows, slik som en x-server for dem som er allergiske mot den blåe giganten,.. det er jo en nesten fullstendig unix / linux-kloning..)

Jeg liker altså å skrive kommandoer, og programmer der en i tillegg kan bruke regex er gull..:-)

Emacs.
