RecentX and Mac
One of our customers Harold Hauer has shown a way to access both Mac & Windows files from RecentX:
I have been using RecentX for a number of years on my PC. About a year ago, I cloned my PC laptop onto my (new) iMac. I am running Windows XP simultaneously with the Mac OS under VMWare Fusion. When I run in Unity Mode, the Windows windows appear separately as programs are called, within the Mac space. In this Unity Mode, the Recent X bar appears at the top of the desktop, just as in Windows and provides instantaneous access to Windows AND shared Mac folders and files! This program has really simplified working in both operating systems.
Thanks Harold!

RecentX lets you quickly launch any file, folder, program or bookmark. What is special about it is that it automatically tracks what file & folder you access. While it successfully tracks ‘file/document‘ opened in different file managers, it can only track ‘folder‘ opened from within Windows Explorer.
Recently John (one of RecentX users, don’t know last name) showed us an innovative way of making RecentX track files & folders opened in Directory Opus.
Here is a screenshot showing steps to configure Directory Opus so that RecentX can track the files & folders opened in Dopus.
New builds of RecentX 3 & Copywhiz 4
Hello 
,
We have just released RecentX 3 (Build 9) with significant changes and also Copywhiz 4 (Build 3) with some minor changes.

Thanks for your support.
We are thrilled to launch the new version of Piky Basket called ‘Copywhiz‘. After receiving several feedback on the name ‘Piky Basket’, we have finally renamed Piky Basket to Copywhiz.
Piky Basket was part of a suite of products called PikySuite – a suite of 3 products: PikyBasket, PikyFolders & PikyTools. Out of all the 3 products, we have discontinued PikyFolders & PikyTools due to redundant features in Windows Vista & Windows 7. While PikyBasket has been retained as Copywhiz.
Copywhiz has many cool enhancements. Plus, it has been made simple & intuitive. The new version is very easy to understand and use.
Please do have a look at the benefits & features at the product website: http://www.conceptworld.com/Copywhiz
Thank you.

Due to a bug in Google Toolbar, the size of Firefox history/bookmarks file (places.sqlite) bloats up drastically. Instead of being in the range of 20MB-30MB, it can grow as big as 300 MB. And it keeps growing as you browse more websites.
Google Toolbar, instead of keeping only 9 thumbnails in Places.sqlite file. It stores thumbnail of each website you visit.
This affects RecentX’s performance as RecentX reads the history from Places.sqlite.
Here is a tool called CompressSqliteDatabase that can compress any sqlite3 database. As it was designed for RecentX, the tool automatically detects a firefox database and asks you if you wish to delete all the Google Toolbar thumbnails so that it can compress it back to a very small size.
If you have Google Toolbar installed then chances are that your Firefox history file will be too big.
Download the below tool to compress your Firefox history file. The file is stored under Firefox’s profile folder. Typically – %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ . Copy and paste this path in Start->Run window and press OK in the Run window. This will open the ‘Profiles’ folder. Open the right profile folder here. The profile folder is normally named as (something).default. Here you will find the places.sqlite file.
Download CompressSqliteDatabase from here
Thanks.
