Title in Notezilla sticky notes

Here is a short video that will depict this feature:

By default, the first sentence of a sticky note is treated as the title of the note. When you type your note, the title is not displayed because the first sentence is anyway displayed as part of the sticky note.

If you want to add your own title, right-click on the note title/toolbar and choose ‘Add Title’ from the menu. You can also press F2 to add/edit the title.

Date in Notezilla sticky note

You can also have a date displayed along with the note title of your Notezilla sticky note. The date can be of the note created or last modified.

In the Notezilla Preferences menu, open the Note Tab, which is next to the General Tab, and then select the option, “Show date along with note title.”

DATE

Our thoughts

In Notezilla, the note title helps you to quickly identify the right sticky note without actually reading through its content. Also, if the sticky note is rolled up or locked, the title is the only way to identify the sticky note.

It thus saves a lot of your time and effort and makes your sticky note experience productive.

And here is another lovely feature. Notezilla has free apps for iPhone, iPad & Android to let you access your sticky notes anytime and anywhere! Install it on your phone from App Store or Google Play Store & sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.

General Settings available in Copywhiz for smooth file copy

We feel powerful and confident when we are in control of the work we do. This lets us do things the way we want. The same goes for even routine work, like your copy-paste tasks.

This post will tell you about the general settings available in Copywhiz that you can configure in the “General Tab” under the Advanced Settings.

What is Copywhiz?

Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.

Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:

  • Copy only new or modified files
  • Easily pick files by name, extension, folder etc from bunch of folders
  • Automatically organize files based on file attributes and metadata
  • Copy files to multiple folders/computers
  • Copy files from multiple folders and paste them at once
  • Sync files between source and destination
  • Pick files from multiple folders and compress in single .zip file
  • Schedule file backups
  • Verify copied files for data integrity
  • Retain security attributes of files & folders (ownership/user access)
  • Several more hidden nuggets designed to make your file-copy task easier.

General Tab

To access this tab, you have to open the Advanced settings of Copywhiz. If you have the Copywhiz main window already open, then you can directly click on ‘Advanced Settings.’ If you are not in the main window, you can select the items you want to copy, and in the destination folder, right-click and select Copwhiz -> Paste Advanced.

The General Tab is located on the top, next to the ‘Filter Tab.’

  • File Replace settings:
  • Copywhiz lets you decide in advance what to do when there is a duplicate file found, i.e., when a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder. This is to ensure that you are not interrupted with ‘File Replace’ message boxes again and again.

    When a file with the same name already exists, you can choose one of the options:

    Ask me what to do: You can configure what to do with that file depending on the nature of the file or the purpose of file copy etc.

    Replace/skip file: You can replace the file in the destination folder or always skip copying the file itself.

    Rename source/destination file: Here, you get the ability to auto-rename duplicate files so that both versions (source and destination) of the files are kept instead of replacing the destination file with the source file. So you can automatically rename one of the files.

  • File skip settings:
  • If you do not always want to skip all files on this error, you can choose to skip only in certain cases. You can instruct Copywhiz to skip identical files or skip files only if destination files are newer.

  • Run silently:
  • We don’t like interruption when our files are being copied. You can, therefore, configure Copywhiz to run silently, which makes sure that no message boxes appear while copying files.

    Note: By default, when you run silently, all duplicate files are replaced. But you can also change to ‘Skip’ or ‘Rename’ from the ‘File Replace’ drop down box.

  • Show logs always or on error:
  • Copywhiz will generate log files on error or always according to your selection. This log lists all your errors so that you can track down the cause and rectify it. This is very helpful in your future file copy too.

    This short video will guide you:

  • Log contents:
  • Option to log even names of files copied, skipped, and renamed.

    Conclusion

    Copywhiz thus is helpful to copy large set of files within a few moments. You don’t have to give special attention to answering any messages that may appear while the files are being copied. And what more? You can also schedule automatic file backups and take incremental backups using Copywhiz.

    Fast files and folders search in Windows using an Everything alternative

    We all like speed. But it gets annoying when simple tasks like searching for a file or folder on our system take a lot of time and effort out of our important tasks.

    This article will tell you how to search for files and folders faster in Windows using RecentX and how it can be used as an alternative to Everything by Voidtools.

    What is RecentX?

    RecentX is a smart launcher for Windows designed to make your computing life joyful. Here are some of the many cool things you can do with RecentX:

    1. Effortlessly access any file, folder or program on Windows in less than 5 seconds!
    2. Assign tags to frequently used files/folders. Makes things even faster.
    3. Integrates with Windows File open/save window so that you don’t have to navigate any folder when opening or saving a document.
    4. It has a clipboard manager too that remembers all the text & pictures copied to a clipboard so that you can quickly pick & paste them again.

    Searching using RecentX compared to Everything (Voidtools)

    Searching for files: RecentX separates items on the basis of Files, Folders, Programs, Websites and clipboard. This way, the items are not mixed up with each other. This also narrows down the result list since you no longer have to search among unrelated items for the item you want.

    File Document Launcher

    Everything, on the other hand, does not separate files and folders and lists down every object in your system initially. There is a filter to only show objects of a particular type, which you can choose to separate these items.

    Searching for folders:
    Watch a short video on this feature of RecentX:

    RecentX helps you avoid full folder structure navigation to access subfolders. As mentioned earlier, it separates files and folders. So now, when you want to search for a particular folder, go to the “Folders” Tab of RecentX and type in your search keyword in the text box given below. It will find an item in less than 3 seconds, no matter how deep they are located in your system. Double-click on the desired folder to open it immediately.

    Folder Launcher

    Everything has a folder filter. Using this filter, every folder on your system is listed down, and you then have to type the folder you are searching for. The indexing and search offered by Everything is speedy.

    Note: With RecentX, you can even add tags to your files and folders for easy access later on. Learn more about this tagging feature from here :

    Search in Recent items first

    Since we open the same set of files repeatedly, finding only in recently accessed files and folders is more sensible compared to going through the complete hard drive. RecentX does precisely that for you. Items that are recently and frequently accessed are shown before other trivial items, thus making launch easier.

    This is possible since RecentX automatically remembers your recently accessed files and folders. So you do not have to spend time configuring it with your favorite items as it is quite hard to keep updating a program with favorite files & folders.

    Note: You can also search in all your items instead of just the recent ones.

    Everything, on the other hand, has the option to sort items based on Dated Accessed, modified, etc. But sorting the items based on it is really slow, and the long list of items still remains, only that they are now in a different order which doesn’t make much of a difference.

    As you can see from the above picture, the search results in RecentX have been narrowed down compared to Everything since we searched only in recent items in RecentX.

    RecentX therefore proves an efficient alternative to Everything. The plus point is that there is nothing to learn. It is effortless and also works out of the box. Just install and see it working.

    Have a good day!
